Reta, 270 -> 205

[diogenes]

Hello. I'm a middle aged guy. My goals are to get

• weight from 270 to below 205 (I'm 6'3")
• A1C from 5.6 to below 5.3
• LDL and ALT to within normal range

I started with 2.5mg of tirzepatide from Nexaph for two weeks. I felt little for the first week, but big appetite suppression the next week.

I then switched to retatrutide 2mg, also from Nexaph. I'm almost a week in. I have less appetite suppression than on tirz, but I think I feel better.

So far, I love these drugs. Overeating has made me feel sick and tired for most of my life. Finally I can limit it.

Welcome, glad to hear you're having success so far!

I am also early in my journey with reta, 2mg same as you, and it really feels like a gamechaner. Not overeating has been a struggle for me my whole life, and it feels so freeing to not have to expend all that energy to tell my body "no" 24/7. It's so exciting! Hope you continue to have great success.

What is the biggest difference youve noticed since switching

Someone gave me 10mg of tirz, then I went down the rabbit hole, and reta sounded better to me.

Nothing was wrong with tirz. Honestly it was great. We'll see how reta goes.

Just less appetite suppression so far. I was expecting more effect from reta than tirz. I suspect when I step up to 6 or 8 mg, it will hit.
