Wow. I used a lot of haldol for intractable hiccups..

Hey, pens are da bomb. I just wanted a few… now I kind of want them all.

They didn’t try Haldol? Haldol will stop hiccups in a low dose..

I’m waiting at least a week before going up again… they say to give it 4 weeks before increasing, so I do.

Well.. not often since it’s mostly protein powders and bars. I weigh my vegetables but my steaks and chicken are single serving packed so I use the weight on the label.. Yeah.. something happened to my app- I was going by custom settings and suddenly today it says the basic generic setting of...

No. A few that cause water retention, but it’s minor so long as I use the vibration plate. Not sure I remembered that, but I knew something was doing it. It’s a new issue. Strangely, mostly on weekends. I thought about growth hormone but wanted to do more research first. Growth hormone is one...

I’ve been post menopausal for around 18 years I think that ship has sailed. I’ll talk to my bestie’s doc- they aren’t in network for my insurance but she does wholistic care so it might be worth it to go out of pocket.

I use My Fitness Pal. Only the verified nutrition info (the “blue seal”). I also tend to estimate on the high side because I know a lot of people will underestimate. I have a touch of OCD, so if I go to my bestie’s house, I chart the silly mixed drinks she likes me to make. So yeah, I’m pretty...

I just realized that was a link and looked. Thank you! I do love birds and flowers ☺️

I have been a nurse for 30 years. I have a masters degree and an FNP. I understand “how CICO works.” It is not physically impossible. It’s not common, but it happens. You can literally go fuck yourself.

Ok. You don’t mean to be rude but you’re calling me a liar. I find it fascinating when strangers know more about my body than I do. Guess my pediatricians, my mother, and my doctors have all been wrong. I have been obese since I was 3- my weight tripled in a month with no change in diet or...

Thank you- I’ll try that. I have a roast in my refrigerator, maybe I’ll crock pot it with vegetables.. I’m not big on ice cream, last 3-4 containers I’ve bought ended up going down the sink if chocolate or given to the dogs if not. Appreciate all of you..

That wasn’t Raw.. but yeah, he is working his tail off.

I would have done so happily, but not even my endocrinologist could explain why CICO stopped working for me. I was gaining 10 lbs a year on 1200 calories daily and was over 400 lbs when I decided it was my only choice to survive. And then got approved for a surgery that was reversible except for...

I’m no help there- I just used the insulin needles I had left from my diabetic cat. Then switched to a pen, so I’m even less help. Theoretically the finer the gauge the less pain, but other things come into play, like drawing up the dose then injecting- that rubber stopper can dull a needle quickly.

Yeah. I saw that after I posted. And yes, it’s probably a good thing we can’t reach through the screen.

There is a difference between advice and assumptions. You assumed and yes, I was annoyed. But I did not “freak out.” If you think that was a freak out, I don’t know what to tell you. And you cannot control disregard protein goals; I meet mine daily without eating a single can of tuna fish, so...

I take chances but I don’t ignore protein intake or use fat dissolvers. I know exactly where I am. I also know that your opinions mean even less to me. At least I know ROE. You just showed up.

6.25 units tells us nothing. Mg. Use mg.

That was a jump.. 😳 I only “worry” about making my protein goal. I have tracked my intake out of habit since before my wls. We were required to submit food diaries and water intake both prior and after surgery. I don’t think I’m eating more than I think because I document everything that I eat...

Lots of excellent info and tons of subs.

Several times. I work w/Ailsa/Bella. Always friendly, communicates well and ships in a timely manner. Mid on prices, but usually it balances out for me.

Are you on peppy’s chat? They solicited expired vials and tested them. So far they are all in good shape.

Ohhh I googled. I’ll look into it.

What is that? Is it an herb or a tea or an exercise..?

Yeah I just got scammed by an IndiaMART vendor trying to buy pens. I’m still sad. I just wanted my pink and green pens!

But it’s not compatible with all peptides. Tirz yes. Ipamorelin and CJC no. There are others, but I don’t know them all. You apply for it and 2 medical professionals must vouch for you. I’m an RN, had to get one to check for multiple opioid script fills between the “real” script our doc was...

I hear that complaint almost as much as I do that it doesn’t suppress food noise. I didn’t experience it, but I’ve heard some serious complaining on other boards. I’m fortunate that I’m not hungry and I don’t crave sweets on Reta. But I’ve never craved sweets- always salty things.

It’s only one name- he is very nice. If you searched glutathione on this site you’d find it, but I’ll save you the trouble. His name is Kawall and you can reach him via WhatsApp @+91 98230 14762. He is a lovely man to deal with!

Interesting. Sounds like it could be a good idea to raise my dose even if it doesn’t break the stall..

That’s seriously messed up. I’m not sure it would even recon. Where did it come from? You need to order from Andy’s source rec. in India (I use him too).

Where did all of that info come from? That’s pretty neat! Only thing is, I’m taking glutathione 100 mg/day. Should I increase my daily dose?

If you’re craving sugar you might not want to add Reta. I have heard people say it caused them sugar cravings.

I try to track my steps but I will put my Apple Watch on the charger and forget to put it back on and not carry the phone around all the time. I have headed out to walk the dogs and forgotten both the phone and the watch and walked the trail by my house that’s a half mile or so. Then I’ll have...

It helps. That’s why other than some Titrating up I haven’t changed anything and I’m asking for advice.. I just get nervous when the bounce it the high end over the low. And if I can believe my scale, I have added bone and some muscle.. haven’t paid attention to the fat reading.. guess I should…

I always hit my protein goals (well almost always- goal is 162 grams, worst I’ve done is 110). I’ll be 62 in July. Starting weight 320, current weight between 245-255, depending on the day, humidity, time, etc cetera. Oh, and goal for now is 200, I might revise that but right now that’s it. I...

I lost steadily on this journey until about 2-2.5 months ago. Now I bounce up and down. I was on Reta 4 mg until I stalled; I’m up to 10 mg. Still bouncing. No net loss. Do I continue to titrate up, stack with something else, if I stack, what should I stack with? I was thinking about Maz or...

You could try adding a few units of lidocaine..

Wow, congrats! Even with losing significantly I’m still obese per my scale.. I’m stuck right now, but I haven’t dosed up very quickly- lost great at 4 mg Reta, until I didn’t. Hit a stall and I’ve worked up to 10 mg, debating going up to 12, because I miss seeing it drop quickly…

Could you reduce your dose of BP meds? I definitely understand the concerns- I was 50 before my resting heart rate was high enough to tolerate the beta blockers I need to prevent migraines and anxiety. How much water are you drinking? Are you taking electrolytes? I tried tesamorelin ages ago-...

For me it was the crushing fatigue, severe constipation and that none of my food tasted good anymore. If I was ok with sleeping 16 of 24 hours and being disgusted by the taste of all of my formerly favorite foods plus the digestive issues, I’d go back. I was losing faster on low dose Tirz.

I love my 3-D printed stuff. Rafi spoils me. He modified my pen box to store my bird pen. I have another storage case in production now. And they match my storage tacklebox and my refrigerator…

Peppy’s has nice things. So does Lemon and a gent called Rafi on Telegram. I’ll see if I can dig up some links.. https://www.etsy.com/shop/LemonsGrove https://www.sunnybox.studio/?src=g-icon...

Yay, woo, congrats. Glad for you. I’ve been obese since I was a toddler. It didn’t start because of poor eating habits and overeating (I had no control over it, and my siblings ate the same diet and had no weight issues). I’ll probably need the GLP meds for life, because I don’t have food noise...

Or usdt which is super stable

At least someone noticed- I’m down almost 100 lbs and my family has not said one word. My best friend has, but she is my cheerleader and hetero life mate, so she has to. Keep on, Shug- you’re killing it!

How do you know it’s “fake Reta”? I’m gaining weight on a batch that tested well. Statements like this are unhelpful and very likely untrue.

I’m so sorry- I wasn’t sure, I just knew Rowdy was pretty big and he was ok. I wish I had a suggestion- I’ve lost 3 senior animals and have one in not-great shape, so I know how bad it hurts to lose them. I lost my 17 year old boxer/shar pei girl to cancer (no symptoms until the very end, so I...

I had a medical foster who was a giant breed, he was shot and the leg was infected and the bone shattered. We had no choice but to amputate a front leg; he was also 5. He took so long to heal (he had severe heartworm infestation, malnutrition and clotting issues that it took 15 months) that we...

So where is mess? I’m curious..,
