Speaking from my own experience, I started tirzepatide back in August.

My starting weight was 260lbs, I'm currently 220.

The biggest change for me was the elimination of food noise. My hunger pangs were INSANE. I actually have to force myself to eat nowadays, sometimes I forget.

I had some heavy nausea a couple times with some vomiting, but only when my stomach was empty.

I lost about 10-15lbs in the first few weeks but that slowed down to about 1-2lbs lost per week.

The entire first month I was on a half dose, after 1 month I began to titrate to my next dosage.

    Downright miraculous

    Having said that, My only other reference point was an article written by a child of a heavy family and parents where the mom got supermodel type results and pressured the Dad to get it but unfortunately Dad died from the meds. Apparently theres a 10% chance of death, sort of a russian roulette type deal. Then she turned the writers bro on to the same meds

    This. Not having the urge to snack all the time has been life changing.

    Side Effects

    The only one I've had is occasional constipation. Dolcolax takes care of it no problem.
