[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost 22 pounds in 4 months, never going above 0.75mg compounded Semaglutide (max dosage is 2.4mg). I’m now on 0.5mg for 4 weeks, then down to 0.25mg through Christmas. I’ve had occasional constipation but no other side effects. It was a very smooth process and I feel great.

I think being in that 10-20lb range is the hardest mentally because you’re still close enough to your old size that you can squeeze into your clothes but everything is uncomfortable. You look at pictures and see a roll where there never was before. I can’t tell you how much my self esteem has improved just by not being pinched wearing my shorts from just 2 summers ago. [/quote]

This makes me feel so much better thank you and I think you understand exactly where I’m coming from. I see my reflection in the office glass and I can’t believe it’s my body. It’s like my bottom has migrated up to my back with back fold and cleavage and I’m repulsed  by myself. And exactly, I have like two pairs of pants that I can fit into that were always my fat pants and now I’m starting to bulge out of them. I love my clothes and it kills me that I can’t fit into any of them. This gives me hope that you are on such low doses, not to be graphic , but I have a fast digestive system and my day-to-day normal is diarrhea several times a day. Yes I have already had a colonoscopy. So the idea of slowing down my digestive system isn’t entirely a bad thing.[/quote]

One of the big things for me is that I completely lost my taste for alcohol. I may choke down a glass of champagne at a wedding, but I’ve gone weeks without any desire to drink. That in turn meant sleeping better, more energy in the gym, less brain fog.

I’ve tracked my weight for years and I always went up 5-10lbs in Oct-Dec with football Sundays and the holidays. I want to stay on a minimal dose until Christmas just to help with building habits (especially knowing I can attend parties and activities without eating constantly and drinking, and also getting comfortable with telling people “I’m not drinking” without explaining myself).

I was originally sort of a naysayer, but it’s truly been life changing and done a lot for me mentally and physically. [/quote]
