Week 91 update. 37kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 48. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…

comment on small win: units stopped being a problem at week 11 in c/reconstitution · 238 points · 3 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on [Lab] SSA reta — Medutest came back 97.4% against a claimed 98.3% in c/sideeffects · 256 points · 3 months ago
Are you on a pen or research vial? The formulation changes the profile.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring reflux at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/sideeffects · 37 points · 3 months ago
resting heart rate moved up 14 bpm and settled back down when I stopped escalating
comment on genuine question about reconstitution that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/reconstitution · 441 points · 4 months ago
This is correct. 1mL versus 5mL is the common mistake.
comment on [Question] food noise — what am I missing here in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 4 months ago
Tried the split-dose thing for 6 weeks. Felt slightly smoother, lost at exactly the same rate. Went back to weekly.
comment on [Question] food noise — what am I missing here in c/semaglutide · 4 points · 4 months ago
I did the fast version. 2.5mg to 12.5mg in 18 weeks. Spent a weekend learning why the schedule exists.
comment on [Question] New Zealand — has anyone got a straight answer on constipation in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 5 months ago
Same experience. Week 87 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.
comment on Ozempic is the most under-discussed thing in c/newbiequestions in c/semaglutide · 78 points · 5 months ago
Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.
comment on someone explain hair loss to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/sideeffects · 46 points · 5 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on tried Wegovy for 11 weeks. here is what happened. in c/semaglutide · 151 points · 5 months ago
week 35 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
comment on [PSA] titration is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/semaglutide · 131 points · 5 months ago
This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.
comment on anyone else notice concentration kicking in around week 40 in c/reconstitution · 5 points · 5 months ago
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across Medutest and Janoshik — 96.2% and 97.4% in c/semaglutide · -15 points · 6 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on someone explain Wegovy to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/semaglutide · 136 points · 7 months ago
my ALT moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
comment on the Netherlands: dead space, and what it actually costs here in c/reconstitution · 82 points · 8 months ago
never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration
comment on bacteriostatic water vs mg/mL — genuinely asking which matters more in c/reconstitution · 616 points · 9 months ago
the concentration on the vial in marker is the most important step
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify reconstitution in c/reconstitution · 14 points · 9 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on week 56 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 581 points · 9 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [PSA] ALT is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/bloodwork · -30 points · 9 months ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
