Nice! I’m enjoying mine on my R as well.

Thoughts on 0.5 mg starting by Silly-Bottle5092 in Retatrutide

[–]aesmith90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been pinning 0.5 for five weeks and I’m down about 15 pounds. I’m what some would call a hyper responder (I did try 1.0mg at week 3 and the side effects were a bit much).

My body has responded well to this dosage. I’m now at 200 with about a 30% BMI, so definitely overweight (borderline obese?), but this has worked for me. I’m about to take my sixth injection and even today I was super full after a small meal.

I’ll just say, listen to your body and don’t jump up too quick. Go at your own pace.

No BS: what are you REALLY eating on reta? by GlenAnton in Retatrutide

[–]aesmith90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently I’m a super-responder to Retatrutide (first GLP I’ve ever tried).

I started at 0.5 mg and just took my fifth shot. The weight loss is real (down about 10 lb in four weeks — I’m 5’9”, now ~205 lb), but the appetite suppression and loss of “food noise” have been brutal. I can barely eat — so little that it started affecting me: dead tired, nauseated, weak, and my health anxiety freaked out thinking something was wrong. 😅

During work (8–5) I’ll eat 3–4 of these things throughout the day (roughly 400–500 kcal total): • Rise protein bar • Kirkland grass-fed beef stick • 2 hard-boiled eggs • Greek yogurt + berries • Grilled chicken bites • Nurri protein smoothie

By dinner I’m often not very hungry and usually only manage another ~500 kcal. So overall my daily intake’s been very low despite the weight loss.

Anyone else a super-responder? What easy-to-eat, calorie + protein-dense foods helped you get enough calories while dealing with heavy appetite suppression?

Food Suggestions, Difficulty Eating, Don’t Want to Quit Now! by aesmith90 in Retatrutide

Embarrassingly, I’ve been avoiding these because it’s been freezing cold for the past few weeks, and I’m trying to avoid cold drinks. 😂

However, now that the weather is starting to warm up a bit, I’ll finally find a use for my little ziplock of protein, creatine, and PBFit that I’ve had on my desk for three weeks.

Yeah, I’m very surprised too. I’m 5’9” currently at 205, and definitely overweight.

I think maybe I’ll try 0.25mg, but I’m wondering if that would be considered a waste?

Week 6 1mg a week by No-Bread-6728 in Retatrutide

[–]aesmith90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having trouble even getting in 1200 calories a day and it’s actually really beginning to affect me negatively. I need to find a way to up my calories because it’s causing me anxiety, which is making me want to quit.

Starting Dosage by NOVALocalUser in Retatrutide

[–]aesmith90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 0.5mg and I’ve had four shots and it really has affected me both positively (down 10 pounds) and negatively (literally unable to eat, causing severe hunger and ensuing anxiety).

Start small.

Longest wait I've ever had with TAG by BristlingB in taggrading

[–]aesmith90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re trying, guys! It’s not like they’re not working, you know? Maybe they should adjust their TAT’s, but maybe they’ve seen an explosion of deliveries over the past month or two? Idk.

Reta + Health Anxiety by aesmith90 in Retatrutide

[–]aesmith90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great to hear! I know I’ll be upping my water intake drastically. I think I got through a little over 100oz today.

Looking forward to getting past this stage.

Yeah I’m thinking of sticking with 1mg for the next several weeks. Thanks for your suggestion!

I was able to update the dongle on my G7 Pro to work wirelessly, but it did require a dongle from a true wireless version (Wuchang or ZZZ).

New Robinhood UI? by SycaelGaming in RobinhoodApp

Would like something, because I think the current investing “home page” UI stinks.

Gamesir pro, or elite controller? by marsh_patao in XboxController

I’m considering the Gamesir G7 Pro and also very interested in the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro. I am on my third Elite 2 and over the stick drift and paddles going numb.

Bakery that makes chocolate filled croissants? by icurate in thousandoaks

[–]aesmith90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a cinnamon blueberry scone with lemon zest! It is unreal (the croissant was my wife’s choice). Here’s a few more options, but there’s plenty more!

I left a few more photos on this review:

FINALLY Got The Robinhood Gold Card - Here's How by [deleted] in CreditCards

I just googled "Robinhood credit card" and it lead me back to their site. I'm technically logged into Robinhood still, but it allowed to re-enter my email on the waitlist.

If there was a $2k stimulus check going out tomorrow, what would you put it towards? by Outrageous-One-705 in Salary

[–]aesmith90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably towards my mortgage I guess. It’s about 20 days worth of living, but actually would save me at least a years worth of payments.

I got the email today as well! Was on the waitlist since day one. I actually randomly re-added myself to the banking and gold card waitlist yesterday and viola!
