My 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?
