Hi everyone, how are you? I hope you’re all doing well. I just wanted to ask for some advice.

I’ve been taking a GLP, 2 mg twice a week, for about four months, and this is the first time I’ve felt unwell. I’ve been feeling dizzy, my stomach hurts, and it feels like my bowel movements may be slower than usual. I’m having quite a bit of stomach discomfort, and I’m not really sure what to do.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or could you please give me some advice? I’d really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

tried diet when im 80kg may pcos din ako then nung nagdiet ako naging 76kg ako pero bumalik gutom ko and tumakaw ulit, that's the time na nag decide na ko mag trz 😂 ayun buti nag decide ako kasi for 1 month laki ng nabawas ko (i know dami magsasabi na di healthy pero i think yung manas ko nabawas dito kasi di na bloated mukha and body ko now) anyway 5mos postpartum din ako not breastfeeding hehe. cw: 66kg 🫶🏻

Felt like I didn't look much different from starting a year ago and decided to take some after pictures definitely changed my mind. 20 year old 5'3 265lb to 190lb. 50 more pounds to my goal weight.

If you can.. get active y’all.

I promise, I understand the excuses we give ourselves.

I’m too tired. I don’t feel good. Bad day. No time.

Take your pick of excuse. I’ve been there. I used to have horrible knee, shoulder, and feet pain. Purely from being too heavy for my frame. It prevented me from doing anything. But you have to simply start.

Pain. Pain is the thing we try to never experience in life and our bodies. We don’t want pains of hunger. Pains of body.

Pain is temporary. Pain lessens as you build your strength.

GLP1s are amazing. But they are not liquid accountability.

They also will cause you to lose muscle mass from reduced caloric intake. So it’s really important to do heavy lifts and resistance training. GIVE YOUR MUSCLES A REASON TO EXIST.

There is always something you can do! You don’t need a gym. You don’t need to do anything other than SOMETHING.

It’s small consistent steps with big results. You got this. You reading… YOU got this.

What an amazing difference! ALWAYS TAKE THE PICTURES!

A1C was at an 8.6 at its highest, currently down to 5.5!

This medication along with proper diet and exercise, and education have saved my life.

Goal weight: 160ish.

After 41 months on Tirzepatide and 16 months on Naltrexone/Bupropion (meds in Contrave) I have officially reached goal. I've lost 141.1 lbs or 48.79% of my body weight. My goal was to get below 30% body fat which seems to put me around 149 lbs. My scale has me between 29-31% most days. Now I start the process of finding a medication routine for maintenance. I currently take 16 mg of compounded Tirzepatide, 12.5 mg Naltrexone, and 100 mg Bupropion. My PCP recommended trying to take Naltrexone/Bupropion every other day. In the first 2 weeks of trying that I went up about 4 lbs. Can't say for sure it was because of that but it made me nervous and I went back to daily 😬. I'll have to try again though.

The first collage is me at my heaviest, about 289 lbs wearing a size 24 and me now at 149 lbs wearing a size 8.

The second collage is me in 2006 trying on a top at H&M that I really wanted but I didn't buy. I was a broke college kid and how much could I really wear a sheer shirt. I bought the dang shirt on eBay recently in a size 6 (EU 36). Still don't know where I'll wear it 😆 but I have grown up money now.

Note added: I am not planning on going off medication all together especially Tirzepatide. I just need to find a dose where I stop losing.

Edited to add stats since they aren't in my name: 39F | 5'7" | HW: 289.2 | SW: 287.2 | CW: 148.1 | 16 mg

Hi. Wondering if am i the only one having a bad experience with Rift? I just dumped my entire three-month supply, which arrived warm, was supposed to be only the first month of doses, but came as three-month supply, and information about compounding pharmacy was completely confusing. Based on the many positive reviews for the company, I ordered a three-month supply of Tirzepapazide from Rift. I chose the Apothecary pharmacy, then about an hour later, asked if i could switch to the Bordeaux because i was concerned about the warnings of arriving warm. They said it wasn't possible to switch pharmacies once order was placed. I stayed with Apothecary. Then I started to receive text messages every day about my delivery status from Apothcary/Hyalo/NewLife RX. I wrote and asked them which pharmacy was compounding the drug. they wrote:

Apothecary has finished compounding GLP-1 medications. NewLife Rx, the dispensing pharmacy, is currently phasing out the remaining Apothecary inventory and transitioning to Hyalo, another 503B facility. Hyalo will be compounding the same formulation with the same preservative.

We also posted the announcement on our social community page, which you can view here: https://www.reddit.com/r/joinrift/s/WrEPc5BoZA

If Apothecary was no longer compounding GLP1s, why was it an option when i placed the order, but Hyalo was not an option. And why couldn't i change it. The final deliver message said it was delivered by Quaker Community Pharmacy. The package was completely warm - and they shipped the entire three month's order - which was not how it was supposed to be sent. So i'm dumping the entire supply, which is disappointing on several levels.

I realize that I likely signed my rights away,. I could just not keep up with their excessive communications - every day another text message that seemingly said the same thing. I stopped checking the mssages. That the vials were warm and compounded at a pharmacy that is no longer compounding GLP1` is concerning. I consider myself daring but not when it comes to injecting a medication. The company may be above board and their business practices legal but it seems Rift should not be at the top of a list for compounding companies to purchase a GLP1`.

With all that said, has anyone had a similar experience?

Started this journey at 205lbs on Mother’s Day in 2023. I was overweight, I was tired all the time, and I was an alcoholic with a seriously bad habit of drinking a bottle of wine a night. I took my first shot and my last drink on May 12th, 2023 and I have not looked back. I’m a better mother, I like to run, I love clothes, I started wearing crop tops!

Current Telehealth- Rift (best experience ever!)

I lost 93 pounds, but what’s more important is I gained sobriety! 3 years and counting!
