The 0.25 dose is designed for 4 weeks minimum before the question of titrating comes up - the first week 8 lb drop then 2 lbs is the typical settling pattern.
Been grabbing the 40mg vials from suppliers who restock them. Honestly prefer those over the 10s everyone keeps ordering. Don't like to stockpile this stuff either—like to keep it fresh and recent.
epipen peak action is five to ten minutes after you shoot it, but it wears off in 20-30 minutes so treat it as an emergency even if symptoms get better. med's short-acting and the reaction can come back. if it's real anaphylaxis you need emergency care either way.
stay off the internet, it works different for everyone. i'm on wegovy, no sides ever. was on zepbound and realized i'm allergic, itching took over a week to stop. take your ozempic, walk, journal, relax—you got this.
I'm on my third 2.5mg dose. I got hungry again on day 5 post-shot the first week. Week 2, it was day 6. This week (week 3), it's Saturday morning, day 6 post-shot, and still not really hungry.
Around day 5, my food cravings start creeping back in. Think of it as practice for real-world situations. It's awesome to step on the scale and see weight loss despite a couple of days of increased appetite. I'm on my 6th shot and down 11 lbs.
I'm curious about people's experiences with Reta and muscle mass. I'm on TRT and still struggling with stubborn fat. Has anyone noticed muscle preservation while losing weight on Reta?
I've gotten rid of 50 pounds over the last 7 months, and this is the first full-body picture I've liked in ages. These photos were taken exactly one year apart.
