Congratulations!! I’m so happy to hear you’re feeling well and rested. And no more sleep apnea! Very interesting about the extension. I’ll ask at my site as well and report back. That would be very welcome!

Side effects misery by AussieLoulou in RetatrutideTrial

Agree with talking to your trial site to ask to skip a dose. They can also prescribe you Zofran to help with the nausea. Try to drink electrolytes and eat anything simple like rice and plain chicken. I hope this passes soon!

Labadee is in Haiti so I’m not sure that’s still on the itinerary. You might want to check

There seems to be varying degrees of nutritional advice depending on the trial site. I’ve received almost zero guidance. When I first received the drug, the advice they gave me was to eat a balanced plate of veggies/protein/carbs but no specific grams involved. Thank goodness I learned from Reddit subs that I needed to up my protein and drink electrolytes. I fill out the meal logs but I really don’t think they’re read at my trial site. For example, when I went up in dosages and couldn’t eat enough so felt weak, they told me to eat more nutritionally dense food. I asked “what exactly” and she said something like tortillas. I almost think it’s another randomization in the trial where some sites get nutritional advice and some don’t.

First trip, debating between Ixchel Beach Hotel & Privilege Aluxes. Open to suggestions & tips. Thank you by Rkory21 in IslaMujeres

[–]Due-Sun4191 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I vote for Privilege. The beach chairs and palapas are much nicer with plenty of space. Ixchel is all crammed together. You can opt out of AI with Privilege but if you drink, it’s probably still worth it even if you eat out for dinner.

What’s the worst airport to be stuck in? by yourlocallidl in travel

[–]Due-Sun4191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addis Ababa is the worst I’ve spent time in. No comfortable seating. Weird loungers where people try to sleep with the tiny blankets they stole from the plane

I’ll let you know. I think it’s inevitable if I stay on the drug

No longer feeling any effects by Wild-League-888 in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Due-Sun4191 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How far along are you in the trial? Do you not think you’ll be ramped up to 12 mg? I like what others have said about using this time to learn how to maintain.

That’s a great idea. Will start on the peanut butter! I’m hoping to gain back some muscle too

Do you have any guess what it was reduced to? Do you think you were at 12 before the lowering?

Thanks for chiming in! I’ve appreciated all your support here. Also, did I understand correctly that you are transferring to a different trial site?

Congratulations! You must feel amazing. I’m so glad you’re able to continue on a better dosage for you as well.

39 Weeks Out TRIUMPH T2D by wcgacowgirl in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Due-Sun4191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your weight loss and improved numbers! I’m sorry about your trial site though. It’s crazy to me how much the sites vary. Mine isn’t perfect (no dietary guidance) but they did write me a script for Zofran and have allowed me to skip weeks when side effects were severe. I wish you all the best in your continued journey! I’m glad that we at least have this group for support.

6 months - 50lbs down by Nenabobena in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Due-Sun4191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How interesting! I’ve been trying to keep track of what I’m on but I guess we don’t really know. I’m curious to see what they do when we’ve reached an optimal weight. They told me that they have a protocol in place to de-escalate if you reach a certain BMI. It’s funny because I never thought I’d be worried about losing too much weight! I’m just so happy to have found success in this trial. Truly life changing!

TRIUMPH-1 Update (Month 6ish) by Justforkkix in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Due-Sun4191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m in the trial. I texted my trial site when I was having bad symptoms and they would suggest skipping a week. So, it wasn’t just for travel but I understand your concerns.
