Hi all. For roughly 2 years, I've served as the lab partner for my wife. Through our joint efforts, she has gone from 250 pounds at 5' 9" at her peak down to 167 pounds now. She gave semaglutide a try and turned out to be overly sensitive to it. The main issues were gas and stomach cramping. She then moved to sniffing terzepitide, which helped with the cramps, yet she still needed to be more cautious than she liked...given that she's a southern bell who enjoys "traditional" foods. On tirz, the "sulfur burps" came on far too easily. On both peptides, she DID get a good beginning to her weight loss, but I kept hunting for something better. Eventually I came across retatrutide, and she has been using it for about a year now. The whole experience is much smoother, with far less 'care' needed around eating. Don't misunderstand, she still monitors her food intake and halts when full. I've become quite accustomed to us splitting meals when we dine out. As a matter of fact, we seldom order an "appetizer", and I frequently don't order anything for myself, since I'm eating the rest of hers plus some of what my fussy 13 year old asks for. So her being the one on a GLP has turned into a bonus for me too.
