The tone of your replies makes a lot of sense now! Not that I ever took offense, but some have. I like it. Direct and to the point! I do get the skin crawlies, reminds me of gout pain in the big toe but on my thighs and back and chest. Lovely feeling.
Sorry for having a tone that bugs people at times. I do care about people and try not to be offensive. But some things I do will offend people. I do like this forum for its directness. Although I'm on the Meso board too, I frequently have to skip over the chest thumping. I'm not a big fan of arguing where the point is to either offend or to win at all costs. I do wish I had a little bit of OCD; it would help me be more organized. (I say that tongue in cheek; I know that that having it would be tough.)
No offense here. Keep it real!
I much prefer people who keep it real. Be happy. Be sad. Be angry. Laugh or don't laugh. But keep it real.
I followed the titration schedule of 4 weeks for each dose until I got to 8 mg. I started to notice less food noise at 6 mg but the real magic happened at 8. I lost 30 lbs at 8 mg ( over about 8-10 weeks) and now at goal weight so trying to find the right maintenance dose now.
I'm doing 8mg / week if reta and the food noise is non existent. I have to force myself to eat and even then it's extremely small amounts. I never tried tirz though, I went from semaglutide to reta and skipped the tirz. I honestly started at 4mg and did that for 2 weeks and then went straight to 8mg. I had been doing the 2.5 semaglutide for a little over a year and hit a huge plateau.
What does Maz and Survo do? I heard something about them and have been curious. I am 2.5mg of Reta I started low to avoid flu like symptoms I had with larger doses if Tirz. Overall, I am losing slow and that is okay. My issue lately has been "food noise". I don't sleep well and the last couple weeks I have been getting food to snack on. I have thought I might add some Tirz or Cag. Any thoughts you might want to share. Being on Reta has helped with inflamation issues.
That was the sweetest message, thank you ☺️ this morning…this last month if I’m being honest, has been so tough and your words of kindness and wisdom mean so much. Thank you ❤️
Max and Survo are more like Reta- I don’t know much about Max, but I have been trying Survo with Tirz. Supposedly they offer better food noise suppression vs Reta, but I’m one of those folks who never had much food noise on any of the GLPs.
I don't know what food noise is.
Not sure I do either, but my best friend’s husband described it as feeling hunger all the time, like intrusive thoughts about it.
