I started compounded GLP-1 at the end of July at 145 lbs and 5’1” — the heaviest I’d ever been in my life. Today I weighed in at 122, which I haven’t seen since college. I have PCOS, hashimotos, and was pre diabetic. I’m so thrilled.
I just had to share. I was scared to go on it but side effects have been minimal and the effects are truly unprecedented for me |
| It ended my lifelong calorie counting. It’s given me so much freedom from thinking about food. I couldn’t be happier. |

It's like meth or other weight loss drugs. Just because you dropped some weight doesn't mean you are healthy yet.
That's only part of it. If you are pre-diabetic at that weight, then you have to change your diet and activity levels. |
gee, thanks. this is the first time I'm hearing this. /s |
Well it bears repeating, even if you already knew, as some might not realize that being healthy is more than just what the scale says you have lost. |
| OP, can you share what provider or route you went for compounded? I really want to move forward with it. I also have PCOS and in perimenopause for several years, weight just will not shift. Thanks! And best to you in your path! |
It worked way better for you than me. I lost 4 lbs and it made me so sick I could not function. |
Oh FFS. Do you go around pointing out the obvious to everyone you know? I'm guessing people do not like you. |
| Congrats. I've been on Wegovy for about a year and a half. I've lost about 75 pounds and gone from an obese bmi to a "normal" one. Fixed my sleep apnea, knee pain, borderline pre-diabetes A1C, and skin issues. |
| It was an incredibly painful way for me to lose weight. It worked, was I was sick 3 days a week. |
Is irrational anger a side effect of the drug? |
| I completely agree! I’ve been on compound tirz for 2 months and already see a big difference not only with my weight (down 14 pounds!!), but also with my labs. It really feels like a miracle. |
Did you go off of it? |

How do people afford these?
Wegovy for me was $1000 a month. One coupon for $299 after my insurance stopped covering it. Zepbound $500 a month. |
This. I could just take adderall, but it’s a controlled substance. |
