🆒 倒车开始了！！我终于按下了按钮！🆒

[Smiter]

过去十天我一直在犹豫、拖延、深思熟虑，白白浪费时间。由于疫情封锁/癫痫发作，我一直没能鼓起勇气开始使用瑞塔。我只有三瓶本地买的。终于，我的“管他呢”基因爆发了，今天我把瑞塔溶解后注射了进去。我一开始只用了1毫克。我用过滤器的时候搞砸了，所以剂量肯定不对，但管他呢，人生苦短，及时行乐。

除了立遗嘱之外，还有什么建议吗？我现在体重253磅（约115公斤）。当然，如果有什么值得一提的进展，我会更新的。

总之，我现在正式成为一名瑞塔信徒了。好戏开场！

自从两个月前开始服用这种药以来，我最大的建议就是一定要坚持每天服药，并且认真记录每天的饮食。即使服用这种药，也很容易吃得过多，低估摄入的卡路里。

谢谢……这两件事肯定会是我最大的对手。我把暴食症当成表演焦虑症来对待。

完全理解，但你很可能会被它带来的惊人效果吓到。祝你好运！

我希望你拥有诅咒之语的力量，你的话语能够影响现实。

My suggestion would be exercise!

I’ve maintained a muscular build even into a staunch deficit, losing ~2.5lb per week, by weight training very intentionally 2-3 times per week, aiming for at least 100g of protein/day even on my lowest calorie days (missed that mark a few times), being deliberate about recovery, and, admittedly using testosterone - a replacement dose though.

If weight loss and improved look is your goal, like it was mine, I’ll advise you that the weight loss can be pushed to be rapid if you can tolerate the side effects. I titrated up until I experienced side effects, then backed very slightly off.

Drink lots of water. Have sleep meds available for occasional use. Use electrolytes. Have Tylenol on hand. Eat less, more often. Drink protein shakes.

Also, if your skin gets sensitive - shaving the affected body part can help.

Be ready for a clothing change over pretty soon

 

[Smiter]

If weight loss and improved look is your goal

YES

 

[professorpeppy]

Stay fit and dont take so much you become faint / malnourished (guilty)

Following cuz Reta therapy may be in my future. Tirz veteran (well, 11 months) but results are diminishing and I'm nearing max dose (currently 12.5 mg/week). Hoping it works well for you!

 

[Xylez]

Protein replacement drinks has done wonders for me while on Reta, it allows me to get my protein in without having to feel like I'm force feeding myself. 230g / day for me has done wonders with weight loss and keeping muscle.

Best of luck and stay hydrated!

 

[CreepyZebra]

Electrolytes every day. A lot of my sides effects or day to day discomfort were solved by incorporating this.

 

[Retarage]

My best advice is to know your resting heart rate pre Reta and monitor for changes.

I have spent the last ten days hesitating, procrastinating, deliberating, and wasting. Due to the shutdown/seizure, I couldn't bring myself to start using Reta. I only have 3 vials I got locally. Finally, my Fvck it gene kicked in, today I reconstituted and stabbed Reta in. I started with 1mg. I messed up using the filter so am sure the dose wasn't kosher, but screw it.YOLO.

Does anybody have any tips, apart from getting a will done? I am 253lbs now. I will of course put updates when they're worthy of mention.

Anyway, I'm officially a Retatrudite now. Let the games begin!

Titrate low and slow! Don't follow the EL official schedule. One advantage of grey market is you can go at your own pace. Most of the side effects come from titrating up too fast. I started at 1mg. Cool. Nothing happened. I went to 2mg the next week. Cool. I went to 3mg the following week. I had diarrhea for a week. I went back down to 1mg and started over slowly. No problems after that.

 

[Smiter]

It's been 12 hours since the debut stab. So far, I feel nothing. I am going to focus on protein shakes. I began with 1mg and I would love to stay at this dose.

 

[Smiter]

Okay, so I get it now. My profile here no longer carries the "No Source Discussion" Banner, and I have become a GLP-1 Apprentice. So, all one has to do is start taking Reta and they get their restrictions lifted. It's definitely not because I completed two weeks here today, nope.

 

[wulf00777]

Understand that reta is slow, 8 weeks minimum before you will lose weight. You may need to titrate up to 4mg to 6mg before anything happens. At your weight understanding that your calorie requirements may be very low due to metabolic adaptation. 800 calories a day finally got me losing. You may be very hungry when you first start as the appetite suppression doesn't engage for a bit. Use a low calorie high protein meal replacement powder because that's the only way you can get enough protein with these calorie reductions. The one I use is 120 calories for every 23g protein and uses grass fed beef and veggies for the protein. Magnesium 1000mg, electrolytes, creatine, and a few prunes all keep the system humming.

 

[Smiter]

Yeah, I use GNC wheybolic protein blend powder. I just came from the gym and am going to use a fairlife core power 42gram protein shake. I've already experienced a lower energy state. I am more lethargic today.

 

[Smiter]

This could be a placebo effect, but I'm less hungry too. I can't eat as much as I did yesterday. This could be because I have used GLP before in 2020-2022 when I was diabetic, or it could be due to the sleeve gastrectomy I had.

Yes, Yes and Yes ! To all of the above.

TMI...I shave sensitive body parts just because. (sorry, the devil made me do it)
