I think I was bamboozled

It takes time to build up and if you have been on other GLP1's you may need a higher dose or time to build up in your system.

I took Reta first time 0.5mg on a every 3 days schedule, day 1 felt nothing much, took my next dose two days later, then started to feel it was mild but helped me stick to my diet, By week 2 which I am in now I feel the apetite supressant strongly I can easily eat high protein but I end up in a 600-1000 calorie deficit, I have to eat until I am almost sick to stay in a 400-500 cal deficit.

Interesting thing though is the night before my next dose I find it easier to eat, then I dose and I am like oh yeah I am super full now, so the half life, and peaks and dips I feel a fair bit and I am on a more often dosing schedule. I was thinking if I move up a dose to go every other day, but soon I will do weekly because I have 8 days of travel back for 12 hrs then 5 days of travel so I will just do 1.5mg before my 8 day trip and then 1mg before the 5 day trip then back ot 0.5 every 3 days.

We started having just a protein shake for lunch, and then eat a semi normal dinner. Some type of protein, beef, pork, chicken or fish. Along with it, maybe cottage cheese, a steamed veggie or similar. The shake at lunch has made a big difference. I was always full before dinner, and didn't feel like eating.

Reta right? I got nothing till around 6 or 8.... now im on 10mg every 6 days and not much suppression so i add 1mg of sema. Works for me. Id go to 4mg on week 3 though lots of peeps will say they spent 14 years to titrate to 4mg. Someone will say they lost 80lbs on .5 mg and never titrated. Im not cautious but a lil stupid ( intelligent on paper, life choices nah). You gotta do you. Whats the worst? Nausea for 3 days? Of course someone will argue acute pancreatitis.... not on 4mg of reta... good luck and dont get frustrated.

But you did lose the weight, even if it did not help with food noise?

For context, I used Mounjaro for seven months. I stayed on 5 mg for four months and later increased to 10 mg. I never experienced a strong appetite suppression effect. It mainly helped me say no to late night snacking, and I had zero side effects.

In total, I lost 30 kilos and went from 30 percent body fat to 18 percent. Over the last two months, I regained 7 kilos.

I am considering starting with 3 mg at the beginning of the week and adding 1 mg later in the week if I do not notice any effect.
