A few subs I’ve been in over the years would have an auto post where people could put their daily brain thoughts. I’d love to come here and have a place to chat with my fellow tirzers but a whole post sometimes feels excessive. A place to connect with you guys when I’m having thoughts like “Aw man, looks like I’m probably titrating up next shot” or “What even is mag07 and where do I get it?”

Is a daily chat thread something you all would like?

ETA: Mods made a poll! Theres a link in the comments here too :)

Usually good at process- but now sitting at the gate at the airport leaving for a weeklong cruise and yes - the one thing I forgot to do this morning was take my prepacked fridge case of meds and syringes. So no tirz for me for a week. Shot day would be Tuesday- but now I guess it will be Sunday morning. I know I’ll be fine, but writing this post to deal avoids further self-flagellation.
I guess that’s what happens when you leave for the airport at 5am.
Reminder to set a meds alarm next time!!

Well like the title says my first dose, I did try the pill first but only took it for 6 days, I had to stop do to some extreme dizziness and headaches,I waited about 3 weeks before starting this, I’m hoping this works. Obviously I have to put in the work, I already exercise and just need to work on my eating. Started weight 302.9 pounds.

With the influx of people continuing to join the tirzepatide community it seems like many of the telehealth providers listed on the pinned “where to buy” post are becoming overwhelmed. Whether it’s from stockpiling, hoarding, or simply high demand, it’s obvious that some of these companies are struggling to keep up with the volume of people seeking weight loss medications to improve their health and lifestyle.

The newer telehealths seem to be handling things better when it comes to customer support and shipping times. I think it may be time for us as a community to start exploring and sharing experiences with other less popular providers so service can stabilize overall.

One thing I personally can’t stand is being locked into a subscription model. I know others feel the same way and prefer manual ordering options like Fifty410 and BEWL, but it has to be more affordable pricing. Features like real person customer service, transparent pricing, CHEAPER PRICING and the ability to order only when needed are important to a lot of people.

I think we should start expanding the conversation and promoting telehealths that better fit those needs instead of relying on the same few overwhelmed providers.

What are your thoughts?

I went to the doctor this week because I’ve been struggling mentally and wanted labs done to rule out things like thyroid issues or vitamin deficiencies before assuming it’s just depression.

For context, I’ve spent the last 5 years losing 190+ pounds, 60ish of that over the last year alone on Tirz. I’m currently 5’7” and weighed 163 lbs at the appointment (end of the day, had already eaten 2x, constipated, etc).

They had me fill out the depression screening and said I have mild depression. I’m already in therapy and actively working on my mental health/body dysmorphia, so I’m not ignoring it.

This wasn’t my usual doctor because she was booked out too far, so I saw someone else in the office, they agreed to labs and instead of really discussing my mental health concerns, the appointment immediately turned into “you need to lose weight,” “you’re not eating right,” and “you need more exercise.” The frustrating part is they never actually asked what I eat or how active I am.. they just assumed based on my BMI. I’ve been going to this same office since I was 354 lbs, so my history and progress are literally in my records already. When I explained my weight loss history, the doctor actually just said “wow that’s crazy” and moved on.

I already struggle with body dysmorphia after massive weight loss, and honestly the appointment sent me spiraling. I looked at my BMI on the paperwork afterward and it’s 25.5… literally 0.5 into the “overweight” category.

Has anyone else experienced this after major weight loss/on tirzepatide? Especially the mental side of it?

The place where I buy my insulin syringes has some of them on sale this weekend. They also have alcohol pads on sale.

I bet many others do too!

Go to your favorite place (that isn't Amazon) and check to see if they are having a sale that will benefit you.

If you don't have a favorite place, you can check out mine: Total Diabetes Supply.

NOTE: I am in no way benefiting from this post or mentioning this vendor. Just hoping to help y'all save money if you need to.

Just did my 9th shot. The first 4 or 5 I felt absolutely nothing -- now I dread them. But it's not about the dosage: it's the poke. I have lost 25 pounds but still have MANY more to go, so there's plenty on my abdomen to poke a needle into. I'm just BAFFLED by this change in sensitivity. The first poke tonight hurt so much I pulled the needle right back out reactively and had to try again. Anyone else have this?

For those of you who have lost quite a bit, did you count calories?

Had my physical today and primary care says “that stuff doesn’t really work” she was referring to the compound tirz. I just had to shake my head and say I think you’re wrong. I am 2 weeks in, starting over my journey after a little over a year and I feel great. 😊

Hi all! I just took my 6th shot and I have to say, I’m tripping out on my sense of smell and how much it has changed.
So far I’ve been super successful (23lbs lost) and little to no side effects but my sense of smell, which has always been sensitive, is bonkers.
Sauerkraut, smells like dirty ocean water.
Chicken broth, smells gamey.
In n out, smells like bacon?
My tortoise, reeks.

Just wondering if this is normal or if it levels out cause it’s a bit intense 😅

Hey everyone, quick BPI inventory update.

BPI is now officially out of the lower vial-count stock, which means we can no longer offer monthly BPI options through the intake.

Not our favorite plot twist. Very much giving “limited series finale,” but here we are.

The good news: we do still have BPI stock available for 3-month and 6-month options in the intake right now.

The important part: this is available for a limited time, and once the remaining BPI inventory is gone, we will not be able to offer those options.

So, the current availability is:

• Monthly BPI: no longer available
• 3-month BPI: still available for now
• 6-month BPI: still available for now
• Timing: limited availability while current stock lasts

If you were waiting to choose BPI, this is probably the moment to stop emotionally circling the cart and actually check the intake.

I’m down to 23 bmi and the weight loss has slowed a lot. I’m still losing weight but it’s about 0.5lb a week. Do I need to titrate up? I do feel great though - no nausea, no fatigue, and not a lot of food noise. I do occasionally have cravings around the 6th day but am able to stop after a few bites. I’m currently at 5mg and have been on tirz for about 4 months.
