Hi all, I just joined. For the past few weeks I've been reading through everything on here. My sister did well on reta, so after researching it more, I chose to give it a go.
I wanted to say hello and mention that I'm nearing week 3 of retatrutide (1.5mg every 5 days), and for the first time since around age 12, the noise around food has gone quiet. That sense of freedom is amazing to me. I'm still quite hungry and I like eating, but I no longer have to make myself stop. Ever since I was young, my hunger spirals and I eat really quickly. Up to now, Reta has helped me slow down and avoid overeating much more easily.
My numbers so far:
On the side effect front, I've had almost no bad reactions yet, except I trust my farts a little less. I frequently get the sensation that heartburn is about to hit, but nothing has actually risen up and burned. RHR is up roughly 5-7 BPM.
Really happy I came across this community.
