Honestly might give those a try. I wasn’t exactly happy with these needles. I would like to get some that are luer lock so that I can have a thicker gauge needle for the draw and a thinner gauge needle for the injection

Had thought about too, but said, nope. I can draw just fine with a 31g.

Do what you want, obviously, but that’s unneeded. It’s more expense, and more hassle for water based peptides with minimal to no practical benefit.

I too, threw that idea out after just a few thoughts.

I guess I’m just new to using syringes. It almost seemed like the needle was going to bend and break off while drawing. Unless that’s just a problem with the specific 30g syringes I have

You need to go dead center on the vial. If you bend one, trash it. Push the peptides back in though.

Got it, thanks! I’ll do that from now on

I got some 1 Ml syringes with 30Ga needles for injections and 3 Ml syringes with 23 ga needles for recon. A friend of mine started at 2 Mg and he was miserable, and a mutual friend of ours started at 2 mg was perfectly fine. I decided based off of my experience with the other glps I was going to split the difference and go with 1 mg. As of right now (day 2) I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary and no reaction at the injection site, so I will probably stick with this does for the next month.

I started .5 for 4 weeks, then .75 for 4 weeks, 1 for 4 weeks and recently went to 1.5. Hugeee difference once I did 1.5.

I was originally going to go up to 2, but maybe after my 4 weeks I’ll try doing 1.5. After today I still have 2 more weeks on 1

Slow and steady

So little update. Life has been hectic. I am down 10 pounds. Doses 1-3 were at 1mg (every 5 days). Dose number 4 was 1.5mg. The only side I noticed was slightly more heartburn. I haven’t been to the gym but I’ve been working the ground a lot lately so I’ve been around 12-13000 steps a day not including the heavy lifting of various rigging. My house primarily eats chicken and turkey since my wife doesn’t do well with red meat. I don’t count calories but I prioritize protein and make sure my carbs come from primarily veggies. This last dose (thur 14th) I took a risk and jumped to 2.5mg. 0/10 wouldn’t recommend. I know slow and steady wins the race but curiosity killed the cat. Spent two days in pain and on the toilet. I’ve been fighting to keep my hydration up. Lost 8 pounds in two days. I’m feeling better now so primarily focusing on hydration and recouping minerals I’ve lost

In my experience, any lab ordered at my annual physical is "covered" by my insurance (although admittedly, I haven't pushed this very far to test the limit there). Where I get hosed is that only "preventative" labs get paid by my insurance before I meet my deductible. Any lab that could be rationalized as being even loosely related to my diabetes diagnosis (in other words, just about every lab) is subject to my deductible before being covered. This is because they're no longer considered preventative and now are supposedly related to disease management. Since I have a HDHP and I'll never hit my deductible that means I'm footing the bill for them at the inflated rate my insurance and clinic agreed upon.

As they've figured out a way to get my out of pocket on the labs to over $500 for 6 basic labs, I guess that means this year I'm moving all of the "routine" ones to cash pay with a private lab (which will bring the cost down to under $100 for me and give me whatever minor satisfaction comes with knowing I'm cutting into my clinic's revenue by some small amount).

I mean TBH, Function Health is a pretty dang good deal if they have the labs that you're interested in plus a couple hundred others.

Congratulations, Mr. Bond. [Subject #007], I'll try your routine.

8lbs in two days is to much. 2.5mg made you lose it, in pain and pooping?

Not everyone can go up as fast. Everyone reacts differently. Maybe go back down to 2 next time or even back to 1.5 or 1.75. Since it was so much worse for you maybe go up by .5mg each increase to not take a chance. Hope you're feeling better!!

Honestly I should have stuck with 2mg for a while. I have been losing a steady 2.5 lbs a week and am perfectly happy with that

Absolutely way too much haha. Pain, and I turned myself into a fountain. I was doing as much as I could to at minimum keep fluids in but I’m very dehydrated right now. I’m using pedialyte to help replenish my electrolytes right now

My plan is to go back down to 1.5 for the next dose and ride that for a month depending on how my weigh-ins go. I’m trying to make this a marathon not a race

我个人认为每四周换一次剂量很不错，而且要密切观察。我现在正在服用8毫克，体重逐渐增加。之前唯一不同的是6毫克，我服用了7周，因为效果很好。接下来是7毫克，只服用了两周，感觉没什么变化。下周五要称体重，到时候看看8毫克的效果如何。我现在能感觉到这些注射剂的作用了。一周半以来完全没有任何副作用，即使是注射当天也没有。

 

[WLBLD]

我的计划是下次用药剂量降回1.5毫克，然后根据每次的体重情况调整，维持一个月。我希望把这当成一场马拉松，而不是短跑比赛。

你绝对不需要那么着急，也不要再生那样的病了！

 

[ChubbyOp]

今天注射针剂！我等了6天，希望能把体内残留的药物浓度降到1.25毫克左右，然后注射了2毫克。那是今天早上5点半，现在感觉还不错，但明天才是真正的考验。体重秤显示388磅（空腹），也就是说我在26天内减掉了14磅。别担心，我吸取了教训，以后不会再这样随意增加剂量了。对于那些还没开始服用Reta的人，我强烈建议你们看看我之前的更新，并认真考虑一下。
