@Airborne Daddy once said "Ten years max dose or gtfo." I laughed, thinking that sounded like so much. And then proceeded to slowly amass ten years max dose of tirz. And five of reta.
When I started Retatrutide and joined GLP1forum I read about people going through waves of panic buying. I thought to myself wow, that's so silly, I wouldn't do that, something bigger and better could come along, gray has survived worse, blah, blah, blah.
I thought at the time that having 1 year of planned titration dosing for two people was plenty, arguably too much. Now I have 5 years of max dosage on hand. I see why people panic buy Tirzepatide and Retatrutide, I can't see myself living without it at some dose, and I can't predict the future, but I can control the situation now to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
My life has completely changed. I've lost over 50lbs. My blood work has never looked better. My food habits are reasonable, my autoimmune inflamatory illness and lab markers are significantly improved. My labs are so significantly improved that my providers had me wait a week and had me repeat them to confirm that there wasn't an error.
My primary and autoimmune specialists both said the same thing. "We ran the labs twice, we have no idea what specifically it is that you changed and are doing, but it's literally saving your life. Keep doing whatever it is that you are doing and let us know how we can help."
I haven't told any providers I'm taking gray market Chinese mystery peptides. I polled a loaded question to an anesthesiologist prior to a recent surgery and used it as a guideline for surgical prep. "We recommend patients using GLP1's to with-hold/refrain from at least 7 days (skip the injection prior) or 14 days if they can, however even if they didn't they would likely be fine if they fasted for a 12-16hrs." So I tapered down and took 14-days (16days) without and with-held food for 16hrs prior to surgery and had no issues.
I have since returned to my normal dosing. I have surpassed my initial weight loss goals and have a new lofty target that I'm already approaching within 20lbs. I've only been doing this since January.
