just hit 30 days of this peptide stack plus extra bpc-157 and tb-500 daily (dropping those tomorrow) for rotator cuff surgery, bicep tenodesis and labrum repair. docs said I'm two weeks ahead of where they thought I'd be. mid 50s, male, hoping to start strength work at six weeks instead of eight...

found out my zepbound coverage is being dropped so scrambling for other options. this community's success stories are motivation though. started ozempic feb 2022, wegovy almost 2 years losing 40, switched to zepbound early 2025 and finally losing again, 63 total now.

had to start carb cycling around workouts — 70g before, 130g after. rice cakes, banana, syrup on the rest. one carb-load day a week with all-you-can-eat sushi. weird coming from years of keto but i eat to lift these days now.

Just got my vials and they're tiny. Thought I could reconstitute in the OG vial but my old pre-made one was way bigger. Do I need to buy sterile vials and transfer the powder? Sorry if dumb question, not sure what to search for.

I never experienced these sulfur burps until I started my injections. I learned two things: 1). I never tested positive for a certain gut bacteria until I started taking my medication. There could be a connection for some people. My theory is that for some, something about taking the medication...

I don't think GLP-1s directly impact hypertension, but the weight loss they cause can lower BP.

I bought some resistance bands and have been using them every day.

It helped get mine under control, but I assumed that was mostly from losing weight.

As long as you're eating enough protein and going to the gym, you shouldn't worry too much. Track your daily protein needs and focus on strength exercises. A protein shake can help if you don't reach your protein goals some days :)

I had never experienced these sulphur burps until starting semaglutide. No doctors seemed to know why. Here's two things I discovered: 1) I've never tested positive for H. pylori until starting semaglutide. Maybe there's a link for some. My theory is that for some, sema activates H. pylori. 2)...

I was reading about some peptides that might help with skin elasticity while losing. Things like TB500 that people are talking about. Has anyone tried those?

You’re inspiring! Also I thought the top right picture looked like Lisa Marie Presley. Way to go!

Amazing change, you look wonderful. I'm only two weeks in on semaglutide. I need to get rid of 170lbs and I'm just lost on what to eat and how much water to drink etc. It's super overwhelming and people keep saying I'm already eating at a deficit?

Congratulations!! I know how you feel. I'm 68 and it would be great if it weren't for the anti-rejection meds I'm on after a transplant. Good luck and continued success.

Beautiful! I totally relate to what you wrote. I'm still at the beginning of my journey, but I'll get there. I'm also 62.

If you're looking for something quick and easy, I'd recommend checking out the protein smoothies at Smoothie King. I get one with 45g of protein and only 1g of sugar for 220 calories. It's been a lifesaver!

I haven't fasted on reta, but I was on Mounjaro between Oct '24 and recently. Fasting wasn't an issue for me. I was careful with supplements though - potassium, B-12, magnesium, etc. I also didn't do super strict fasts - I'd have a sugar-free electrolyte mix every day. Maybe 1/3 to 1/2 a packet...

Really thoughtful overview. I want to add one thing on the pricing debate. Even if manufacturing is inexpensive, biologics require cold-chain logistics, quality assurance, and device engineering. The auto-injector is not trivial. That said, international reference pricing shows there is room...
