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.
