Hey all! Thrilled to have found this place!

My GLP-1 story began roughly 2 years back on tirzepatide, and I dropped about 35 pounds along the way. I was nearing my target weight, but I had surgery at the start of May, so I chose to pause treatment — a few injections had left me feeling unwell, and I didn't want to deal with that while healing. Since stopping, roughly 15 pounds have come back.

PCOS is part of my picture, which means stubborn belly fat has never been easy for me to shift. That's exactly why retatrutide and what it might offer got my attention. Last night I took my 1st dose, and things are going well so far!

Can't wait to pick up knowledge from all of you, cheer on your progress, and maybe build a few friendships in the process!
 
Hello! I can’t wait to find out your take on Reta compared with Tirz. PCOS is something I deal with too, and Tirz has been part of my routine for about 2 years, though I’ve just put in an order for Reta.

Ha, glad to have you aboard, friend.
 
Welcome!!!

I’m also new here! PCOS is something I deal with as well, and it used to be a real struggle.

My current routine includes Reta, a few other peps, and Spirolactone — honestly, this mix has worked incredibly well for me! Don’t hesitate to message me!!

Hey Lily! PCOS is something I deal with as well. Tirz is something I haven't given a try, but I've been using Reta for roughly 4 weeks now. Because I began at a low dose, I can't say I've seen many changes so far, so time will tell. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how Reta stacks up against tirz!

About 9 weeks in on tirz, and it's been great. But all the Reta talk has me wanting to give it a shot. What was your approach to switching over? Should you wait for it to fully clear out of your system first, or not? What worked for you?
