Thanks manMy Experience Taking Retatrutide (Experimental Weight Loss Drug)
Background:
I started retatrutide because I had struggled with obesity for years and was excited (and a bit nervous) to try something new. It’s a once-weekly injection that targets multiple hormone receptors (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon), which sounded promising for both appetite control and metabolism.
Week 1–2: Early Days
- Side effects: Mild nausea and some bloating after the first couple doses. Nothing too intense, just a bit uncomfortable.
- Hunger: Definitely felt less hungry. I wasn’t obsessing over food like I used to.
- Energy: Slight dip at first, maybe due to eating less, but manageable.
Week 3–6: Appetite Vanishes
- Big change: My cravings dropped significantly. I used to snack late at night—suddenly I just didn’t care.
- Food aversions: Greasy foods or large meals started to feel “too much” or even gross.
- Weight: I lost about 8–12 lbs in this phase without really trying. Mostly by eating less.
Month 2–3: Adjusting
- Stabilizing: Nausea improved. I started to figure out what foods sat well and what triggered queasiness (e.g., fatty or rich meals).
- Mental clarity: Some brain fog early on, but by this point I actually felt sharper—maybe from improved metabolic health?
- Weight: Down nearly 20 lbs total. Clothes fitting better, and my motivation to move more increased.
Side Effects I Had to Watch For
- Constipation: A common issue. I had to add fiber and drink more water.
- Mood: I felt a little more irritable in the first few weeks, likely from adjusting to lower food intake.
Overall Verdict (After 3–6 Months)
- Weight loss: Significant—over 15–20% of my body weight was gone.
- Hunger: Still suppressed, but I could tell I had to eat more intentionally to keep energy up.
- Lifestyle: The medication gave me space to build healthier habits, but I knew it wasn’t a “magic fix.”
Would I Recommend It (if it’s approved)?
Yes, if you have obesity or serious metabolic health issues and you work closely with a doctor. It’s powerful—but it’s not for casual use. And it’s definitely not without side effects.
Would you like me to simulate a version from someone with diabetes or PCOS? Or male vs female perspective?
