INTRO Ready to restart my journey in the south of Sweden

[pepptid]

Began mounjaro through a telehealth provider in Sweden in early autumn of last year. Weight dropped from 162kg to 140kg and I felt fantastic! Fantastic in all ways except financially... The wife and I are both using glp1s, and she is currently in her final semester of studies.

So yeah... I quit, and within 2 months I've rebounded to 150kgs, and it feels pretty awful.

I began looking into what other options might exist and wound up here.

I'm prepared to begin again, returning to the gym, trying reta. Etc. Etc.

I'm hoping to gain a LOT of knowledge from all of you. Peace

For most of my life, poor habits have held me back, despite my efforts to improve through exercise and healthier eating. GLP1 feels like a breakthrough, because it lets me (and us) approach food in a completely new way!

At this point, I'm getting a lot out of the low-dose mix of Tirz and Reta. Hunger is well controlled and energy is good. Wishing you the very best on your own path!

Habits!! These drugs are revolutionary, but they work best when paired with changes to your daily routines and way of living. That said, the most crucial step for better physical health is adjusting your diet (the medication will naturally control quantity) and increasing your activity level. Even starting small will yield growing advantages as time goes on. Wishing you success and hoping you find what you seek!

Couldn't agree more!

Yeah. My relationship with "attack" food changed a lot.

Keeping track of a protein dense, calorie deficient intake was easy for me. I was even going to the gym and all that.

Still, 6 months is likely not enough to undo 35+ years of bad habits .

I'm also excited to read up in and learn more about stacking. I have a surplus of tirz to take out on prescription, but the funds have not been there.

If you do go with reta, please share how the switch from branded tirz went!

I get where you're coming from — the expense forced me to quit too, and I started hunting for other options since the "legit" route remains way too expensive.

Honestly, combining tirzepatide with retatrutide doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't retatrutide target the same hormones plus 1 additional one? I understand pairing cagrilintide with a glp1, because as far as I know cag works through a different hormone.

Based on what I've gathered so far, combining them seems to allow for very small doses of each while still producing a fairly strong result. That being said, I've still got plenty of research left to do.
