Crap... 15mg Triz and hungry..

[lissybeme]

It's been about 10 months (1 yr on 10/8).. i"m down 57lbs.. and feeling super down on myself.. I know it's decent loss but, I've been overweight weight since day one(literally was like 11lb baby.) And ive been stalled for months now. MONTHS (like 3).. .. even when I was on meth for hella years i was overweight... (clean more than 12yrs) anyway..

47yo woman
5'7
Sw: 344
Cw: 287

All my weight in in my stupid belly.. and I cannot get rid of my double chin..

Suggestions??
I am thinking of adding cargi w/ the triz.. since i just started 15mg..

Food noise is not strong but its like I wont eat enough during day because im not getting hunger cues

Then I am hungry at night.. I know I fucked up my metabolism with the years of drug abuse.. and I've always barely eaten during day then i eat at night.. I know its my biggest problem and always has been..i dont know hiw to fix it
. . after being on triz for almost a year it feels like it is not working any more.. like i feel like I am back to my pre-triz habits..

I want to get as much out of the triz as possible.. since it know I still have a hell of a long way to go.. .

Anything better than Cargi?

RETa will be after I can get as much out of triz as I can..

Do i need to clear my system and start over??

Are you injecting every 5 or 7 days? I would say if you are at 7 days, go to 5 days to accommodate the Tirz half life. If you are already at 5, titrate up to 17.5mg. People are are taking 20mg every 5 days with no issues.

Solid advise IMO. This was my approach. I was at 15mg weekly and am now doing 10mg every 5 days. It seems like my sweet spot (for now) I have Survo in the fridge for if I max out on the Tirz eventually.

Congrats on your weight loss progress and your sobriety🙂 you should be proud of yourself. You have lots of options left.

I usually adjust with hunger levels.. especially when im about to start my period..

I just started 15mg like 3 days ago..
I was thinking about doing 20mg to..

Thanks! I know any progress is good but damn... .. now I have to look up servo..

Hell the drugs were easier to quit than the food
. Lol.. I got pregnant, and had my kid and from the point I decided I was done.. getting off dope was easy..

Quitting cigs has been harder than the dope(im working on that as we speak)..

Oh shit... my stall has essentially been as long as I've been trying to quit ciggs... I wonder if that has anything to do with it???

Im hearing ppl are doing really well adding cargi to glp-1...

I can relate. I use smokeless tobacco and have quit several times.

You should click the forums tab and go to medications (GLPs and Research ones) and do some research. You have the advantage of reading others experiences and from there you can plot a course for yourself.

Congrats on the clean time and weight loss. I just celebrated 39 years clean and sober. Two and a half years ago I quit nicotine. I was down to the 2 mg nicotine pouches. I talked my Doctor into giving me Ozempic for weightloss and pre diabetes. After being nicotine free for 1 year I had not lost any weight or gained any weight. A year later my insurance stopped covering Ozempic. After stopping Ozmpic I started gaining weight like crazy. Then I got tirz through a compounding pharmacy. Started losing weight fast. My tirz dose was 15 mg per week and lost 40 pounds. Then the weight loss stalled. I bumped up my dosage to 20 mg and started losing 1 to 2 pounds of a week again. Now I am within 10 pounds of my target weight. I am in the process of figuring out a grey maintenance dosage. I feel super good and work out all the time. My brain's reward system works like it should. I feel super good from accomplishing tasks like swimming or hiking rather than using nicotine.
