9 lbs and 2 inches in 3 weeks is Reta working. Waist measurement is a more reliable early indicator than scale weight.

Holding onto old pants for comparison is a better visual than any scale number.

330 euro for 3 months at 6mg is on the mid-range of what people report in EU markets. Price per dose gets better at higher doses if the pen allows a full range. Prescription-only access cuts out the sourcing flexibility that compound or research channels offer.

Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? My doc said it's key to keeping things regular. I haven't had any issues so far, thankfully. I'm about to bump up to 7.5mg, and I'm a little worried that the side effects might kick in at the higher dose. Did the side effects hit you when you went up to...

Yeah, I hear ya SnackSet. If things get really bad, I might just DoorDash some Taco Bell. Heard that works miracles, LOL.

My needs are up and down, so here's my arsenal: ~ Milk of Magnesia (last resort) ~ A stimulant/stool softener combo pill (once a week; pricey but gentle) ~ A dose of OTC laxative (daily to stay ahead) ~ Testing a magnesium citrate (250mg, but inconsistent; maybe it's the coating) ~ Also...

Been a few days now... this sucks. 😭 Hang in there — this thread where people shared what helped has a lot of practical tips for the rough early-week GI stuff.

I'm not as hungry as I was before Semaglutide, but the munchies still get through, I'd say.

Haha so true! I used to walk miles everywhere, now I drive my kids to the end of the block!

Yeah, I heard about how suddenly normalizing high blood sugar can mess with your eyesight too. Crazy.

I am totally impressed! And it looks like it happened fast! Looking trim!

That's incredible!!!!! Really inspiring! 👏

I think I saw your previous update! Have you noticed a significant change since then?

Gallbladder issues are common after bariatric surgery. But it has something like a 95% success rate of reversing type 2 diabetes if done within 10 years of diagnosis. I was always a heavy person. A violent event 15 years ago ruined my life. I needed surgery to fix the damage. I didn't leave my...

Bariatric surgery is major surgery with strict requirements unless you go abroad, which has its own risks. GLP-1s are much easier to get.

I love this. I feel the same. Thanks for saying it so well.

Or seeing them stop at every fast food place on the way to the clinic? Good strategy to inflate their weight so the weight loss goal looks better. How outdated does the show and Dr. Now look not knowing about GLPs? He just says it's life and death, so why not use them? And sending them home with...

I'm more worried about losing muscle while losing weight. I'm not trying to look like a marathon runner. I still do weights. Anyone else lift while on GLP-1s?

Good point, never thought of that.

I know I'm new, but everyone starts somewhere. Getting info from Reddit was a pain. 🤣 Thanks to JuGGaKnot for sharing info, even though the Discord link wasn't quite what I needed. He said, "Read for a week before buying." Of course, I bought it the next day...🤣🤣🤣 It was from a vendor I saw...
