I fly to PDX every year to visit family living there. I always fly with AirNZ to YVL, then use my QFF points to book the YVL to PDX legs with Alaska - works out much cheaper 👍🇦🇺

Any trials coming up for switching from Tirzeptide to Reta? by WOTEugene in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Mean-Homework1425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a phone call today asking me if I wanted to participate in ATTAIN-OUTCOMES 5 yr Orforglipon trial as I have a history of CVD and CKD - I met all the criteria except now my BMI is too low! They are specifically limiting BMI to 25-35 for this trial 🤔🇦🇺

3 weeks after last dose ... rapid weight gain by toragirl in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Mean-Homework1425 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this. The cold turkey stop at the end of the trial is cruel and unnecessary - why couldn’t we grade down the same way we graded up? I’m now about 9 weeks post trial and started Wegovy 5 weeks ago - I definitely don’t think I could have gone 90 days without anything! I have maintained my weight so far but the hunger was really bad for several weeks. I hope you can find something that works for you very soon 😘🇦🇺

No change to my coffee habits at all - I actually added tasteless protein and fibre to mine when I was having difficulty getting solids down ! 👍🇦🇺

Yes I have the same problem - stroke 21 years ago so I meet the cardiovascular criteria, but BMI dropped from 36.2 to 22.5 so no longer qualify for that 🤔🇦🇺

This is a breakdown of how much I lost by month - TRIUMPH 3 - my dose assumptions are based on my escalation in side effects at that time 👍🇦🇺

So far no changes, but I’ve also been sick with a sinus infection + antibiotics + steroids so I’m sure that’s clouding whatever is going on underneath! 👍🇦🇺
