  I lost 25 kgs over 1.5 years but by far the most important change is my never wanting to drink again. It is huge. Your brain is different. Full stop.

  I am on Mounjaro now for four weeks and haven’t touched a drink and haven’t even thought about touching one! The craving for junk food is gone too!

  So it also confirms that overeating is an addiction 🤔

  I didn’t realise until today. Since I started wegovy I stopped smoking which was unsuccessful with medication, patches, gums, sprays before. It might have been from wegovy.

  Mounjaro 15mg currently costs $690-700+ per month. Until these ludicrous prices come down, people will continue to buy unregulated peptides. While I personally wouldn’t take the risk, I can understand where people are coming from. It is however, a worrisome situation.

  I stopped daily boozing after 20+ years after about 6 weeks on GLP1s, cleared my brain fog, and lost 40 pounds. I started joining healthy group exercise classes, I look 20 years younger and my brain is firing on all cylinders again. In short, I got a new lease on life and thank God every day I can afford this miracle drug.  Generics are on the way!

  I was drinking two bottles or wine a day  and smoking a pack of cigarettes day also weighed 246lb I went on Ozempic and POOF 💨. I had no urge to drink or smoke and the food noise was gone too. I lost 80 pounds have not picked up a cigarette or a glass of wine for over two years now!!!!! I was off of Ozempic for a year and now currently on Wegovy and still have same feelings no urge to drink or smoke.  I’m going to get Trizep because I’ve heard the benefits for your heart and my cardiologist is prescribing it for me. I can’t wait to try it. I just absolutely ecstatic about being able to lose weight. I’ve struggled my whole entire life. It was a yo-yo and not have an urge to drink or smoke was just icing on the cake. Well, I don’t really eat cake anymore lol but you know what I mean.😂🎉

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpOv_TToX2w&amp;t=904">15:04</a> this is a super accurate description of food noise. It was always there for me, always. Loud, like fuzz on the tv, until I gave in. Sugar was the worst craving. I thank God and my Dr for the chance to be on trezepitide. Not only did it quiet the food noise, but it quieted my Lupus symptoms too. It&apos;s a beautiful drug. ❤
