🆒 RETATRUDING HAS BEGUN!! I finally pushed the plunger!🆒

[Smiter]

Your earlier post about appetite suppression at 1.5mg being gone after 4 days could that just be the flu subsiding?

It's possible, but I used my oral supplements to suppress appetite on day 5 and today, day 6.

I Haven't started yet but intend to start this Friday after work at .5mg, was thinking about starting at 1mg instead.

Your starting dose, IMO, must be based on your starting size, goal weight, diabetic status, and the amount of time and money you WANT to invest.

read all 6 pages. Holy smokes you are very talented and about the most entertaining writer / forum thread I have taken the time to read through in a long time

Those are all banter, which is a result of action and reaction. In other words, it's the content generated by others that fueled that verbiage. Check through @randompersonrandom , @domin8brix's posts. Make sure you have enough popcorn and no responsibilities, before you venture there. Don't say I didn't warn you.
And about writing, well, it's a kinda illicit offspring of dream and plan of mine to be a fiction-writer. I already have a Dark Psychology book published on Amazon.

Which gym do you go to ?

Gold's gym.

now I go to "Walmart Fitness".....I mean Planet Fitness.
ZERO gym etiquette

Dude, you're into masochism too?? No wonder you're adamant on pulling every hair out of your body.

There are no sweaty ass-cracks, because most members have no clue what intensity is nor do they know what correct form is

Errr...yeah I was talking about gym thots, forbidden pants, undersized tops, attention leeches, thirst traps, etc... Their forms are likely nonexistent too, but hey, who really cares about that? They certainly don't.

If you're going to recommend my responses, make sure you warn them to do so with caffeine as I don't believe mine are that entertaining.

Caffeine and popcorn?? Really? Now that you lost all your weight, started pounding iron for ten men, began dressing to kill, and became all badass and cool, this is what you come up with?

I don't believe mine are that entertaining.

🙄🙄You know, I'm with Sherlock on this one. I don't hold modesty as a virtue because it's by default a lie and false. But this level of modesty??? Careful now, perjury is a crime.🙄🙄 ouch my eyes hurt with all this rolling.

Okay I had the 3rd dose of Reta on the 14th. I have not had any appetite suppression in the last two days. The shot was 1.5mg like the second dose. I have not had any ill effects either. I'm concerned because I am on Var EOD. It's becoming cumbersome for me, having to constantly worry about whether the dose is good enough. I don't want to waste the product. But I also want to wait out the first month as many claim that's when the amount of drug in the body stabilizes, while the sides also tend to hit. I need to distract myself, so I guess I am gonna watch Punisher One Last Kill.

Your dose is too low. I really don't get any side effects, but my body has built up some tolerance to the stuff I guess. Been on it since 1/16/26 and currently 8mg for both my wife and me. She has nothing anymore either.

I did think so, but I wanted to start as small as possible and squeeze every little cent out of it..

Just let the stuff do what it does, trust me. I've only had weeks no loss, or like last week I gained a pound. I weigh on Friday mornings, but might jump on tomorrow to see if anything happened.

Believe me, I know that's the reasonable thing to do, but sometimes, despair is potent enough to trounce sapience

Okay, yesterday I took my 4th dose of Reta. It was 1.5mg. Today I was 243lbs, so 12lbs lost in 22 days. I dont have much of an appetite suppression, though I know I have been eating a lot less most of the time. Food noise has been dealt with for the most part, and I am keeping my toes crossed though I know the efficacy of this low dose will not last. I have taken a modaf tab today, so the mind is a lot clearer. But there is one unusual side effect which I dont know for sure if it has anything to do with Reta. I have noticed an excess production of dried mucus in the nose. I think it is due to dehydration, but there is an excess manufacturing of it so there has to be a histamine component?

 

[Smiter]

The appetite suppression IS extra strong today. I haven't eaten anything since waking up. I will have to eat soon, need to hit the gym.

 

[domin8brix]

You did just get over a flu/cold though right? Is it possible that it's still lingering viral snot?

I did consider it, but the flu went away 3 days ago. This has persisted. I have a machine to clean the nostrils and use it daily but last two days, it has been a chore.

There's been a whole bunch of weird shit going through my office the last few weeks, and patients 0, 1 and 2 are STILL a hot mess with snot and coughing despite being a month out.

ALSO--the weather has been...interesting. So it might also be related to pollen.

On a 1.5mg shot? Still getting the chills too?

Don't forget your laptop!

 

[Smiter]

Chills? No, I dont have it, though that's one side I would have loved to have. The freakin heat here is disgusting. Oh, and the suppression is most likely due to a combination of modafinil, Asia Black-25, and Euphoria.

Don't forget your laptop!

It's unlikely I will forget the monster, but since he will arrive only tomorrow, I'm okay now.

Where are you at? I understand hot, as I've lived on the S/W coast of Florida forever. Low to mid 90s, feels likes in the 100s and usually 85-95% humidity.

Oh yeah, I forgot you are in Florida. I'm in Virginia.. I have always been averse to humid heat. I was born in one of the hottest countries of the world, Kuwait, but the heat there is dry. Humidity is the real killer.. When that wet bulb temperature crosses 30, I call it hell.

My biggest tip since starting 2 months ago is be very consistent with the day you take it, and actually track what you eat. It is SO easy to overeat and underestimate your calories, even on this med.

What dose are you on?

 

[Smiter]

This time being a Varrior didn't come with the most insane sides I got last time...acne pimples on the scalp..I have been taking Anastrazole every 3 days.

 

[Beachnwaves98]

I have spent the last ten days hesitating, procrastinating, deliberating, and wasting. Due to the shutdown/seizure, I couldn't bring myself to start using Reta. I only have 3 vials I got locally. Finally, my Fvck it gene kicked in, today I reconstituted and stabbed Reta in. I started with 1mg. I messed up using the filter so am sure the dose wasn't kosher, but screw it.YOLO.

Does anybody have any tips, apart from getting a will done? I am 253lbs now. I will of course put updates when they're worthy of mention.

Anyway, I'm officially a Retatrudite now. Let the games begin! 😈 😎 🆒

Congrats - sorry I’m relatively late to the party, still may be helpful to share:

For context, 50 yo male 6’0, SW 241.2 July 2024 / CW 190 / GW 175

Transitioned from 92 shots of Tirz a month ago, last dose 12mg, started Reta a month ago

My first dose knowing I was highly respondent to Tirz was 1mg, this became my dosing schedule over the last four weeks:

Week 1: 1mg
Week 2: 1mg
Week 3: 2mg (1mg 2x weekly)
Week 4: 3mg (1mg 1x, 2mg 1x)
Week 5: 4mg (unsure whether I go 1x or 2x)

My big lesson learned is I didn’t really feel appetite control literally until today. My first second weekly shot of Reta (2mg), putting me on path to being 4mg next week.

I took the dosage from the minimum dosage from the phase 3 trial data, released yesterday by Lilly.

I’m definitely feeling a more pronounced appetite governor with the higher dose (2mg 2x per week, total of 4mg) so I intend to stay here as long as I can.

That schedule is the only advice I can give you at this early stage, all other things being equal:

Ex: Make sure you do resistance training, get your body’s weight in protein grams, stay in consistent calorie deficit, track intake, get 150 oz of water every day, get good sleep.

Welcome, and thank you. Yeah I'm thinking of split dosing.
I had my 4th dose yesterday at 1.5mg.

Thank you.

Make sure you do resistance training

easily done.

get your body’s weight in protein grams

not at all easily done.

track intake

next to impossible.

get good sleep

beyond impossible for me. I have forgotten what that feels like.

Protein - find a premade protein shake you like, that’s the quickest and most painless way to make impossible possible, my favorite premier protein found @ Costco, $32 for 18, includes 30g in a 160 calorie shake

Tracking - download Lose It on Apple or Android, another that might change your mind on “next to impossible”

The key to all the making impossible possible is control of hung which you will only achieve when you hit the right dose. Once you’re there, you’ll have the space to make all the behavioral changes.

4mg is the first I’ve felt this with Reta. You’ll get there ✊

 

[Smiter]

all the making impossible possible is control of hung

I do get that now with the aid of my supplements including modafinil, asia black 25 fat burner, euphoria.

I am using my whey protein powder so that I can add the 30grams of collagen I need daily.
