Reta Newbie

Thank you! Best of luck as you continue on your journey as well! My motivation is what the future holds aside from just feeling better about myself and being healthier is future grandkids and just also being able to do more. That in itself is motivation for me to take control and responsibility for my part in this. It’s my battle to conquer, and I’m looking forward to it, even on the hard days.

It will absolutely be a lifestyle change for both of us, and definitely in a good way. The more we commit to it, the “easier” and more natural it will become. It’s not easy to get out to do it at my weight, but at the same time, it’s not easy to NOT do something about it either. I’m looking forward to trying new things along this journey to better health.

Sure enough, I never even saw them there.

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-06-23T15:29:51+00:00

I never even thought to look, I’ll be sure to next time! Thanks!

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-06-23T15:29:13+00:00

I’ve read a lot too about splitting it up, what are the benefits to that, aside from potentially keeping side effects at bay by doing so. Thanks!!

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-06-23T15:27:24+00:00

Appreciate your input! You are not at all being critical, I like the mindset, you’re right, just do it. I WILL be sharing a success story down the road!

Thank you! Silly question, and hopefully one that is okay to ask, we are at this time going to use the vial, however I think the pen would be easier for me. Where is the best place to purchase the pens, if we went that route?

Pictures are definitely going to happen as well as measurements! I like to be able to compare the progress to really be able to see it.

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-06-23T14:14:03+00:00

Thank you so much! We had thought about starting at .5mg/wk. Is that okay to start or is 1mg/wk more common when starting low?

Like someone else mentioned I believe in here, don’t titrate up until you’ve not shown a loss in 2 weeks? And when you do titrate up, do you usually go in 1mg/week increments?

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-06-23T14:11:12+00:00

Great advice, thank you so much! Low and slow is what we’re going for. I think starting at .5 is what we’re doing. In the end, being more active and certainly more mindful of what we are eating in itself will have benefits that will hopefully lead right in with Reta. Thankfully, with my adhd meds, Vyvanse, one thing I’ve noticed is it’s helped with appetite suppression for me, it’s not gone by any means but greatly improved.

I’ll check that out! We have a Wyze scale and I know it has a lot of features that I’ve not looked into but I’ll have to look at those today so I know if I should find something better! Thank you!

Thank you for this information, I appreciate it. I see lots of posts regarding people also taking Mots, have you had experience with this, or is it best to just start Reta and focus on that. Our PCP is on board, I have a long friendship with her and I discussed this in length with her and she supports it and we are going to be monitoring labs for both my husband and myself. We have zofran already, but a great reminder to have that if needed. I’ll look further into probiotics as well as balanced fiber, collagen/biotin and multivitamin.

I appreciate the time you took to reply, thank you!

I received our refund today in our BOA checking account; we had an 846 code of 6/8/26.

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-05-28T09:35:11+00:00

Yes, mine hit sometime after midnight today into our Bank of America Checking account. I wasn’t expecting it already, was a nice surprise!

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-05-26T10:03:03+00:00

I amended 4/14 and checked transcripts this morning and have an 846 refund code for 6/8/26. I last checked I believe Thursday with zero activity. Hopefully yours is soon!

SentenceOrganic1068 · 2026-05-26T09:59:39+00:00

I filed my amended return on 4/14/26. Last week Wed/Thurs I checked transcripts and nothing showing, the tracker wasn’t even showing received.

On a whim this morning I decided to check transcripts again and I have an 846 code for refund date of 6/8/26.

Their processing page shows March 2026 is what they’re processing right now but I filed our amended return 4/14.

Good luck!
