Day 5 is usually right in the middle of the adjustment window. The appetite drop you're describing is the medication starting to work - even if it doesn't feel totally linear at first. Keeping food simple, high protein, and not forcing anything when you're not hungry is the right call. It...

The fat aversion tends to fade as your system adjusts. For now, lean protein sources work best - chicken breast, white fish, egg whites, non-fat Greek yogurt. Getting protein in is the priority even if fat sources need to be minimal for a while.

36 pounds with before photos to prove it is the kind of post that makes this community worth being in. The photo log idea is smart too - the changes are gradual enough that you literally can't see them without the reference point. How long has the journey been?

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I'm going to try a few of these. ReconFree, you're right, I should probably see a dermatologist. My GP isn't taking this seriously enough.

I get it sometimes on my stomach. Cetraben and a mild topical antihistamine cream seems to help some. It's the worst, right? I've scratched myself raw before!

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I've got some pretty bad itchy loose skin, and I'm scratching like crazy. My doc just says moisturize, but it's not doing the trick. Anyone else have this happen after losing weight, and did you find anything that helped? Thanks!

I went back to 2.5mg after being on 5.0mg for about a year. The 5.0mg felt too strong after losing weight and I felt bad after injecting it. My endocrinologist says I'm in remission after losing 54lbs and have been on 2.5mg for 14 months, even though it's not considered a therapeutic dose. A1C...

Don’t think you HAVE to increase your dose just because you’ve been on it for a while. I kept losing on 2.5mg for over half a year. My family doctor, who also specializes in internal medicine, was happy as long as I was losing 3-7 pounds each month. I was consistently losing about 4 pounds a...

Yeah, enjoy the vacation! You've earned it.

If the scale is moving down, I'd stay put!

I've lost around 20lbs in the last year! It's nice seeing slower progress too, makes me feel less alone.

🎉🎉🎉🍀

The difference is clear as day. Dropping 30lbs in under 3 months is a testament to hard work.

Anyone have experience with TB-500 and BPC-157 for injuries? Thinking of trying this for shoulder issues.

Wow, so many peptides I've never even heard of! I'm interested in the weight loss ones, like AOD9604. Anyone try that with success?

Has anyone noticed any changes to their libido on Reta? I've heard similar stories, which is why I'm giving it a shot. Sema made me feel like garbage.

Tirz bumped up my heart rate a little, but reta really cranked it up. I'd be surprised if tirz made your RHR go up, but reta didn't at therapeutic doses. It messes with the sympathetic nervous system the same way tirz does, and the glucagon receptor activation is another reason for increased...

Fingers crossed for that day. A guy can hope!

Totally agree! Some call Alzheimer’s Type 3 Diabetes, so fingers crossed that better blood sugar control will help prevent mental decline.

Gonna be outrageously expensive, I bet. My doctor wanted like $800 for a month of Ozempic before I started doing my own research. Hard pass on that!
