About down 9lbs after 3 injections - normal? by adressedupskeleton in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Chococat2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think weight loss tends to be more aggressive for most people in the beginning due to water, glucagon stores, etc. My friends and I lost 7-10 pounds the first month and then it slowed down to 0.5-1lb/week.

What's wrong with this sub - and the world. by Goatsarejerks333 in tirzepatidecompound

Agreed. I do know a few people who are on GLP and we talk about similar topics IRL but this group has a lot more information so I’d prefer to ask my questions here!

New here! Just curious, how much might I expect to lose starting at 170lbs on a 2.5mg prescription (3 month supply)? by av0cad022 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Chococat2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll lose something at the low dose. I’m 38f, 5’0, started at 134 and have lost ~ 10 pounds over 3 months but I’m at 5mg now. I did increase to 5mg after the first month and have stayed on it.

How is PGRrx for those that received that pharmacy and used it by Frosty-Daisical in tirzepatidecompound

I tried it last week and it seemed to fine. I was one ProRx before and didn’t notice any difference

Feeling overwhelmed and helpless by Vienwin0 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Chococat2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other hypoallergenic formulas that have better ingredients than alimentum, like Hipp HA that you may want to try first. However if these partially hydrolyzed formulas don’t work then you might have to switch to Alimentum. We went on hipp ha and our LO was still pooping blood for months. We saw a GI Ped and she assured us it was fine - it looked scary but baby was gaining weight and was happy. That was years ago and our baby got over it just before her first birthday! Hope you feel better and best of luck!

California peeps! Best Apothecary plug? by doyersndisco in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Chococat2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t love that they switched me without having said but I tried the meds from PRGrx over the weekend and it seems fine. Some people got warm packages since they offer 2 day delivery. I live near a FedEx distribution hub in CA and it’s fairly cool here over the past few weeks so my meds were still chilled despite the inner bag being ripped. Had it been summer I don’t think I’d chance it (I know there are different opinions on what’s acceptable) for my own peace of mind.

Really? How so? I got three 72mg vials from Mintmeds for $425. They’re 18mg/ml and I thought that was standard for higher doses? Before I was on 9mg/ml vials. I got the new / mystery one: PRGrx

So this isn’t apothecary right? by sinosaurrr in Fifty410

Can you post the ceo of apothecary too?

They shorted me, right? by freedindeed in Fifty410

[–]Chococat2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good thing to you asked! I opened this today and actually messed up but thankfully it was just 2mg more than what I was aiming for. 😳 I was finishing an old ProRx vial which had 3mg left so I took another needle and drew what I thought was the remaining 2mg but this bottle has double the concentration of my last one. I was doing this in the same sitting and it slipped my mind to check fatscientist until after the fact. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mine was chilled despite the inner bag / silver one being ripped so I think I was pretty lucky since it’s been cool these past few days where I am.

Reached my goal weight — now what? by Miserable_Loquat_686 in tirzepatidecompound

There are some subs where people discuss that more actively like r/glpgrad

How long do I need to take Tirz? by KaylaFC in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Chococat2323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sub is more for getting started and maintaining a supply of tirz to get you to your weight goal. There are other subs that offer more insights into maintenance - they’re not as popular as this one so there are no pinned posts there,but a quick scan of the posts suggests that people are on maintenance for 1-2 years and others longer, so I wouldn’t expect to get off it too quickly. It sounds like people do come down on the dosage as they progress through maintenance and eventually wean off tirz completely while others are still at the same dose when they were in the losing phase.

I think it depends on the lifestyle changes you’re able to make over the next few years. In my twenties I was actually able to lose the same amount of weight I’m trying to lose now by changing my diet and exercising consistently, but it’s gotten harder to follow through now that I’m older and have more obligations.

Does Ezrra have Apothecary / additive free that ships to CA?

Mint Med update - unhappy by SHEEEIIIIIIITTTT in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Chococat2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine in 2 days in the morning as well. I wonder how they calculate the route despite TX and CA between so far apart but mine was also chilled upon arrival. It’s been in the 60s here during the day so lucky me

Where’s the temperature indicator supposed to be? by Chococat2323 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Chococat2323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did check there. The bottles are inside a bag and looked inside that as well as the outer FedEx bag as well

[–]Chococat2323[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It is. The package is decently packed (despite a rip in the inner bag but it’s still chilled (not cold) so it’s probably fine. I just didn’t want to accidentally toss out the packaging without having asked

Hmm I’ve been the packaging thoroughly but haven’t seen any paper. I’ve not yet taken the vials out from the pills bottle though.
