First poke.....

Yesterday was awesome!

Still getting hungry, staying hungry doesn’t result in binge eating “hangry” feeling. Smaller portion is actually enough to feel full which is nothing like I’ve ever experienced before.

Alcohol consumption is heavily heavily impacted for me. Was able to drink two 12oz yuengling lagers over the course of 3-4hours. It still tastes amazing but my body/stomach wouldn’t let me drink it.

With no negative sides and the commentary that I didn’t take enough, I’m considering taking another .5mg today to get to at least 1mg for the rest of the week.
 
Good luck on your new journey! It appears we are very similar in age, height, weight and lifestyle so I will follow your journey closely. I know i have a good body underneath all this padding too 😂

I have some Reta on the way so hopefully will be taking my first jab in the next week or so, I'm not sure about starting on 1 or 2mg yet.

Best of luck 💪🏻

Yeah, sounds like you might be a "cheap date" and may not ever have to go up to 12mg, but play it by ear.

I've known a few people who, when taking (the inferior - ha!) semaglutide, have amazing suppression of food noise even at .25mg on that first dose only to find that was fleeting and they end up having to chase the dragon after that because the effect was just transient and wouldn't ever really be replicated at that low dose.
 
Okie doke, today at 1mg total this is exactly what I figured ret would be like. Near zero food noise, surprisingly no real negative side effects.

Got really busy today after breakfast around 930am. Didn’t realize I had missed lunch until coming back from the dog bathing place at 330pm. Grabbed some chicken tenders and potato wedges on the drive home, was near uncomfortably full after 2 tenders and 3 wedges.

I have read a lot of people feel terrible after fast food so I stayed away from a big greasy burger. 😂. Glad I did cause I’m sure I couldn’t have finished it.

This stuff is a flat out miracle. Oddly I just recorded my highest ever glucose since I’ve been monitoring. (About a month.). Went from 88 to 153, back down to 96 all within 1 hour. That’s the wildest peak swing I’ve ever noticed.

My wife and I haven't had fast food in 20 years. Since January, nothing processed/frozen all fresh and made at home. Only thing we eat at restaurants are chicken wings, not breaded and salads.
 
Most of my diet is home made, especially working from home and being 15+ minutes out in the country away from town. The town isn’t a big one either, less than 15k residents. Today though I did get those delicious chicken tendies and wedges, was just surprised how little I could eat.

Dinner was very similar, couldn’t finish my half serving. It had green beans, half a small steak, half a chicken breast, baby potatoes, and macaroni salad. Ate the green beans and most of the meat, couple baby potatoes and that was it. Tried to have a beer with dinner and couldn’t even finish half of it. Did drink 3 full glasses of water though.

So far I love this stuff!!!

Alright today was more interesting. Had a simple breakfast, two eggs, one piece of toast, maybe 10 grapes and was satisfied. Got hungry for lunch around noon, had one boneless skinless grilled chicken breast and some green beans. That was enough to be borderline sick full.

Come 5-5:15 I got a mad snack attack. Not starving but feeling that I must must must eat something. Downed a 60g protein shake, some peanut butter, and a string cheese to settle everything down. That’s really the first time that has happened to me since starting this stuff.

As far as work is concerned, no brain fog, no headache, no loss for words or memory issues. Still loving it!

Looking forward to slowly titrating up to 2mg sooner than later!
