Even reading the dosing from those big sema trials makes me queasy, since 0.8mg ozempic made me sick for a whole year. Novo isn't doing great, since tirz beats it on both effectiveness and side effects, and unluckily for them, tirz at 15mg still outperforms 7.2mg and even 16mg of sema from their...

Agreed, getting protein in is seriously hard some days! With no appetite it can feel like force feeding. For the day I prepare easy protein snacks, like chicken breast, edamame, jerky, turkey slices wrapped around cheese, Greek yogurt mixed with frozen berries plus a drizzle of honey, and...

HealthAF My switch from Tirz over to Reta was nearly cold turkey, plus a couple of extra Tirz bumps en route, nothing major. To load Reta fast I took frequent small doses, aiming for 6-8mg as quickly as the sides allowed. My theory is that Reta then Tirz works for maintenance, but I need several...

Hold on, now I'm confused, because this is my 2.5mg pen, four doses already used, and the mechanism's locked so I can't even attempt a fifth, yet there's clearly more solution left in there than that. More than what the original poster's showing too?? Guess I'll test it properly at some point...

This is exactly why I switched to injecting every six days instead. Take a slightly smaller dose to land at the same weekly total. Genuinely enjoy the six-day rhythm, get noticeably hungrier for a stretch beforehand, use that window to hit my weekly calorie targets, and know eating tapers off...

I really do think this drug class affects baseline dopamine, not just the spikes. Like, after a full year on it, I just can't find the drive to work at all. I end up sitting on the couch scrolling endlessly while mentally yelling at myself to just start. Even once I do get moving, part of me...

The amidated version definitely outperforms the standard one when taken under the skin. One tier above that sits an even more refined variant. It IS noticeably more potent and lasts considerably longer. Only issue is plenty of sellers market the amidated version under that more refined name. And...

Personally I'd probably hold at 1mg for now. 3 pounds and the month's still got days left. Maybe give it another couple weeks and really nail down the fundamentals. Recheck your calorie count. Actually log every single bite. How's your water intake? Are your lifting weights climbing?

Was considering the same thing, even thought about the blend, but really only need the two specific compounds. Guessing getting them separately makes more sense, just means more injections.

Started this past Wednesday myself. Was holding off on weighing in for the first week, but curiosity got the better of me last night and I hopped on the scale. Down 0.7kg. Probably just water weight, but hey, something's moving.

Not the protein shake driving weight gain here. Been drinking a high protein shake daily for three plus years without issue. Are you actually logging your food intake?

Ran into this too, ended up with a blockage forming and eventually had to get my gallbladder removed. Definitely worth talking to a doctor before this progresses any further.

Running both here, progress has been gradual but real. Not much to show yet, but it's genuinely moving after years of essentially zero results.

You're definitely seeing results though, and solid ones at that. Safe healthy weight loss tops out around one percent of bodyweight weekly.

That other medication treats depression, correct? So the depression predates starting this treatment? Meaning it's not actually a side effect of this medication. Worth bringing up with whoever manages your mental health prescriptions instead.

For me personally, hair thinning was the toughest part. Did everything by the book, solid nutrition, decent workout routine, and still lost roughly half my hair density over six or seven months. Paused the medication for now hoping to recover some of that.

Been on GLP medication for two years now. Lost 75 pounds but still have another 30 to 35 to go. Progress has slowed substantially over the past year, though it was never particularly fast to begin with. Losing about a pound monthly at most currently. Had several stalls, entire months with zero...

Feeling so much better these days! No longer having to push meals down out of obligation, genuinely craving healthy food now, and still feeling really satisfied by whatever actually gets eaten.

The honest answer on calorie math is that sema doesn't override the intake picture - it just makes the deficit easier to create. 20 lbs in 14 months with a break is on the lower end. The honest audit of what's going into your body usually shows something.

konjac noodles are the high-volume low-consequence meal extension on GLP-1 - they fill the bowl visually and give texture without adding meaningful calories or carbs, which makes them useful for the days when the suppressed appetite is present but you still want something that looks like a full...
