my eGFR moved and I cannot work out whether plateau is why

Discussion Receipts ×6 Long Haul ×1 Clean Column ×1

Week 24 update. 10kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 76.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to

okay but what dose of sema are you on

u/ismael_chukwu457 points·1 year ago

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

titration speed is food noise plus side effects, period

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

Yeah, 66 weeks on 10mg, same pattern, same timing.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Did you time the injection consistently each week or was it more ad hoc?

the quiet is real. the food noise just stops.

Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.

nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on

Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

The thing nobody prepared me for was that the appetite does not come back for a long time after you stop.

c/semaglutide rules
  1. No requests for a personal dose recommendation — describe what you did, not what someone else should do.
  2. Results posts need a timeframe and a starting point, or they get removed as unverifiable.
  3. Brand, compounded and research-grade material are all on-topic. Sourcing requests are not — that is c/vendorvetting.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
