That's fantastic, well done!!! 👍

I had surgery recently and temporarily stopped my GLP-1 medication. My doctor said it was OK to restart, but I'm a little nervous about it. I'm also on some pain meds, and I read a story about someone ending up with a bowel obstruction because they restarted the GLP-1 while on an opioid. I'm...

This is great advice. I see so many people rushing to increase their dose, and then they end up with terrible side effects. Slow and steady is definitely the way to go with these meds.

To those experiencing increased cravings, remember that these medications take time to fully work. You may still have cravings, especially in the early weeks. Focus on protein-rich foods, like yogurt, to help manage hunger and cravings.

I think chatting with your pharmacist would be a great idea; it might calm your nerves. Lots of people don't have bad side effects, so try not to worry too much! Pay attention to your body and how you feel after eating certain foods and amounts. If you get nauseous, ask your doctor for a...

I agree with Just-Journey. It’s important to get enough protein while on these meds. If you don’t, you might experience hair loss. Also consider a multivitamin.

The loss of muscle mass is something that people should talk about more. Older folks lose muscle more rapidly on these medications, which can cause weakness and tiredness. My DEXA scan revealed that I lost around 3 pounds of lean muscle in the first four months. Unless you do resistance...

That's a good tip! Also, keep in mind that with sermorelin, avoid eating carbs for about an hour before injecting, as they can interfere with its effectiveness.

Hey Chill-Girl, I saw your post about BAC water. It's important to reconstitute correctly for optimal results. Have you used a peptide calculator before? It can help you figure out the right amount of BAC to add. There's a good one here on the other forum.

Wanted to add something for those experiencing a stall. Remember that weight loss isn't always linear. You might stall for weeks, even months. If you are already losing weight, try being patient and not so hard on yourself and focus on health.

In my opinion, losing about 1-2 pounds weekly is the most sustainable and healthy goal. If your appetite is reduced and cravings are lessened, then the medication is doing what it should. I would advise tracking calories and macros to stay on course. And please, try not to compare yourself to...

It's considered a moderate interaction. It can impact glucose control. If your glucose is stable with the combo, and your doctor is aware, you might be fine. Just monitor your levels. There are interactions listed on Drugs.com

I've weighed myself on random days before, but I only log the weight on my official weekly weigh-in day. This week, I weighed daily and got demotivated when the scale went up a pound or two. Then a couple days later, I lost even more than that. I think it can be demotivating and not really...

Reta is supposed to get rid of mitochondria that are damaged. So, adding MOTS-c could give you an extra kick, maybe? Some say they notice clean energy, but others feel nothing. For me, I notice it more when I'm not using it. It's like I just get through the day better without feeling as tired...

Weight loss can bring up old feelings. I've struggled with my weight for years. I wonder if that contributes to it too.

Last year when I was on a similar medication, I had the worst OCD flare-up of my life. I didn't even realize I had OCD before then, it was so mild. Now I'm on medication for it and my life has been turned upside down. I don't think doctors fully understand how this can affect brain chemistry. I...

I can relate to the lack of motivation! I just want to stay in bed all day. I wonder if the sema is causing that too?

I had to skip a week for a colonoscopy and felt fine. So, a 2-week vacation? You'll be good. Awesome job! You look amazing.
