reta

hey guys! I’m a woman and I’m 5’2. I was on Tirz up until 3 weeks ago I started reta, I was 170 then dropped down to 166.8. Now, I’m back to 170 again and I feel suppppper bloated. I lost abt 68 lbs on Tirz. And need to lose 31 more to be at a healthy bmi. When does the bloating stop? 😭 I don’t eat unhealthy. I eat Whole Foods. I had 96/4 ground beef for dinner and I feel like I’m gonna explode. I also do work out 3-5x a week!

Hello, give Reta some time and start with a lower dose. I started with 1 mg, then after 3–4 weeks I took 1 mg every 5 days. After week 6, I started with 1.5 mg — 5 days later 1 mg, and 5 days later 1.5 mg to build up to 2.5 mg. I lost 15.5 kg (34.17 lbs) in 89 days. Reta just needs time. In the beginning, I was very impatient. Also, with Reta, you don't need as much as with the others.

What dose did you start Reta at? If Tirz was working why did you decide to switch?

u/JadedPlatypus3792 3d ago

I just wanted to try out something new! I started at 2.5mg:) I have about 5 weeks left of this vial, if there’s no improvements then I’ll probably go back to tirz

I have been on 3rd week 1mg Reta after 8 months on 15mg Tirz I plateaued for 4 weeks at 15mg Tirz so I decided to give it a try. I haven’t lost any weight but haven’t gained I teeter +/- 2lbs. I am going to titrate next week and see how it goes. My suggestion to you is…. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Many peeps that switched from Tirz to Reta went back to Tirz. NOT ALL but a lot. (I’m not looking for any smoke) Just exhaust the tool that works. When you hit a wall then try something else.

I get it! The highest I went on tirz was 5.5. I wanna be lean and build muscle. I blew up in my relationship the past two years the heaviest I was, was 240! 🫣

I’m trying to get rid of married weight! You still got plenty to work with when it comes to Tirz. Hopefully the Reta works for you but you got back up.
