TRT at micro-doses is reasonable as a starting point for muscle preservation while on GLP-1 - the synergy is there if managed properly. Beyond that, peptides like BPC-157 or TB-500 are the next tier without going full anabolic territory.

Most people underdose it - full cap of the label, not one scoop.

Post-surgery restart usually means retitrating from intro dose regardless of where you were before - the surgical window resets GI tolerance. At A1c 5.1, the goal is maintaining those labs more than matching the earlier loss rate.

I'm just starting out. I'm worried, but I'm desperate. Did you have bad side effects? I keep reading horror stories.

You look fantastic!

Thanks RXPete! I was wondering what to do with my used needles. I'll check out that link.

From Costco - the Premier Protein drinks. I have one daily. It really helps you get the protein you need, especially when your appetite is low!

Totally normal side effects for that food combination.

Fantastic news! :D I noticed the appetite suppression almost immediately. Only on week 2, and I haven't weighed myself (avoiding the scale for sane mental health). I think I've lost maybe 2lbs and already I feel lighter. Getting up off the couch and out of bed is easier, and I can walk down...

I also had my skin removal at about 160. This past August. You're going to be surprised by how thin you are without the skin. They removed 10 pounds from my midsection and more from my arms. Now I'm 133 and trying to gain weight!

I can't afford surgery for my loose skin. What are my options? I'm in the UK, so the NHS probably won't cover it!

Anything fried is not a good choice, and all those foods together would make most people feel terrible.

I agree, you look like you shouldn't lose another ounce!

The issue might be that your insurance only covers Mounjaro or Ozempic for diabetes, not for weight loss. That's how my insurance works. The only weight loss med they cover is Wegovy, but the copay is so high it's cheaper to pay out-of-pocket with a savings card.

Everything tastes overly salty now.

Lots of folks are turning to other options because of the cost. 😉

Not exactly a food, but beer. I used to love a cold one. Now I can barely choke down half a glass before I'm stuffed, bloated, and generally feel awful. How does that even happen?

There's always a market for less common options. Like, some birth control shots are every 3 months and people still use them. Not everyone remembers to take a pill every day!

Wow, ShrinkingSheila those are amazing numbers! Did you just do the meds or did you change up your diet and exercise too?

Rocking that six-pack!
