Change on April 25th, 2022
Smegglutide has been on the go, and appetite has gradually returned, but weight has not changed much. Because I haven't exercised before due to low back pain or anything else, I would like to try combining it with metformin to see if it works
March 19th, 2022
It's been a long time since I read the private letter. Many people have asked me about the phone number of my medical representative. I want to say... Be careful about physical matters, sisters!!
I have also read a lot about the weight loss methods of combination of liraglutide and metformin online before. Although everyone says it's easy to use, it's still an injection... I'm still a bit scared when injected into my body, let alone without the guidance of a doctor. Do you know how to give an injection? And how do you know if it's real or fake when you buy it online? And that kind of medicine needs to be refrigerated. Are you sure the express delivery can meet the needs of the cold chain?
After seeing this method, although I was very excited, I still went to the endocrinology department to check with an expert account and confirmed that my body did not have any other underlying diseases. It was only when I could use this method to lose weight that I started trying it out.
I hope everyone can also choose carefully, use medication cautiously, and protect themselves

Last time I used up one of the exenatide, I changed it to lisenatide. The main reason is that this one is also given one injection a day, costing over 400 yuan per month, and the price and frequency are acceptable.
After using this, there was no significant change in appetite, and it was not as disgusting as before, as I didn't want to eat anything. But I found that although I ate a lot, my weight did not increase significantly (currently at a stable 58.5kg, I have lost 20 pounds compared to before). Today, I went to the doctor and the doctor said that this medicine basically suppresses appetite and decomposes fat. Some people may not have good appetite inhibition effects, but fat is still decomposing. Although I won't lose weight, eating too much will not make me fat, which is somewhat effective.
Very good, but I tried Smeglutide this time and today I learned that Smeglutide has now been reduced to over 400 yuan per unit in order to enroll in medical insurance (it used to be around 1300% 2B? Anyway, I heard it's quite expensive). This is simply the gospel of fat people! Five hundred yuan a month is completely stress free, and it's great to play once a week. So I chose Simei this time, but the doctor said the hospital couldn't open it yet. He gave me instructions and the phone number of the medical representative, so I could find him to buy it myself.
Great, let's try this one and make it even better.
------------------------------------
Updated on November 26, it has been more than a month since I started using it and I have lost 20 pounds. In just a few days after the arrival of the Double Eleven body fat scale, I lost nearly 10 pounds (the picture shows the record of Huawei's body fat scale, which is not very intuitive, let's take a look).
Let me tell you my feelings. I started with Liraglutide, which started at 0.6mg. At first, I felt extremely tired, and I didn't have the strength to walk and didn't want to eat, but I could still eat it. After about a week, I felt like I had disappeared and my appetite had returned. I took a 1.2mg dose and after about a week, my appetite regained. I originally wanted to increase it to 1.8mg, but I couldn't sustain it until I went to the hospital next time, so I continued to take a 1.2mg dose.
In fact, Liraglutide has a very good effect, losing ten pounds after taking one, but the price is a bit expensive. According to the standard quantity, three doses are needed per month, with a dose of 339, which is about 1000 yuan. So the doctor said that other medications could be taken at a cheaper price, and he prescribed exenatide.
I have seen many online inquiries about the differences between these two drugs, and I have also asked the doctor myself. The doctor's response is that liraglutide is the earliest and most expensive drug to go on the market, and other drugs are naturally cheaper after it. But the effects of these drugs are very personalized, and the more expensive they are, the better the effect. Some people may not be able to treat expensive drugs well, but they may find cheaper ones to be more effective. Liraglutide is more well-known because it is specifically advertised in places like Xiaohongshu (I specifically searched for some posts on Xiaohongshu), but other effects are not bad either.
Now I'm almost using a single dose of exenatide. Personally, I feel that exenatide works better. After all, losing the first 10 pounds is easy, but losing the second 10 pounds is difficult. Tell me about your feelings.
The difference between liraglutide and exenatide (non academic viewpoint) is mainly reflected in the following points:
1. Design sense: Liraglutide does indeed have better packaging and materials, and the entire pen design feels more high-end than Exenatide. Moreover, the dosage control is relatively flexible, with many small compartments that click and click when pressed; Essenatide feels that the material of the pen is relatively average, and it can only be used in 5mg and 10mg doses. Other doses are difficult to control. But I think this point is the least important and can be ignored
2. Convenience: Liraglutide can be taken once a day, without considering meal time. You can take it home from work at night and go to bed, which is very convenient; Esenatide is not good. It must be taken one hour before meals, but not after meals (correct the place of upd, because it is written in the instruction manual after meals because it is in accordance with the usage of diabetics, and non diabetes patients do not need to consider the meal time). And it needs to be taken twice a day, so I have to take it to the company. When it is about to eat, I go to the toilet to have the injection secretly, and I always forget to take it home on weekends, so I have to go to the company to get it, Not very convenient.
3. In terms of effect: I don't have a strong say in the effect of liraglutide, as poverty has led me to only take the standard dose once, which does suppress appetite, but it still requires some willpower to assist in controlling appetite. But exenatide is really strong, especially after about half a month of drinking, I haven't eaten for four or five consecutive days. I ate two eggs on Monday this week, drank two cups of yogurt on Tuesday, and didn't eat anything on Wednesday. On Thursday, I felt like this wasn't working, forced myself to eat some vegetable salad, and then vomited all of it. Today Friday, there is still no desire to eat. My weight was dropping with a crackling sound, and everyone said I was visibly thinner. And there are no side effects, both work and life are normal.
However, although the doctor said there is no need to consider the timing of meals, I did find that getting an injection before eating and taking it immediately after the injection has a particularly good effect. You will feel nauseous just after taking a bite, and then you won't be able to eat anymore, and you can lose weight. Although the feeling of nausea is not pleasant, compared to other weight loss methods, the pain is really much less.
To summarize, I started taking liraglutide at a weight of 67 (10.18) and used it up in 17 days, losing 10 pounds (62 pounds). 11.4 I changed to exenatide. When I just changed my dressing, I consciously ate more rice because it was still one week away from my aunt's period. Based on my previous experience, not eating rice would lead to not coming to my aunt (without academic support, but many people have experienced this phenomenon online, even eating noodles and coarse grains is not enough, rice is definitely necessary). I don't want to mess up my aunt by losing weight and then eat more. Later, my aunt arrived on time and there was no problem. My aunt didn't change much in the previous week and that week, she only lost about one kilogram, but now she is losing a kilogram in just one or two days. I feel particularly good when I go online every day, hehe. In short, I think Exenaleptide is also very useful and cheap (400 yuan per month). Even the snack money saved is more than that, I'm happy. But I also appreciate Lila's various advertisements for exposing me to this magical thing. The goal is 50kg, and I hope to achieve it before Christmas so that I can dress up beautifully and take photos~
To make a digression: The injection gave me a slightly different feeling about life. I think there are really many helpless things in life. I used to be super capable of eating, especially those with no resistance to carbon and water. High oil and sugar foods are my favorite, completely out of control. I have tried all kinds of ketogenic, Mediterranean, and light fasting foods, and have also done things like burying the thread. It cost a lot of money and was of no use at all. A small hypoglycemic needle gave me a completely different life, which is really amazing. Losing 20 pounds can be considered a weight loss success, right? This success is not a victory of will, but a victory of science. Thank you to the medical workers for changing my life.
-----------------------------------
On October 18, 2021, I went to the hospital to check and prescribe Liraglutide (Novoli), and recorded my condition.
I am 25 years old, 158cm, 68kg. I am really fat, but I usually wear it well and it looks like only 120. So when I say I want to lose weight, people around me usually say that I am not fat at all and don't need to lose weight, but I am really good at eating. I tried ketogenics before and spent a lot of money, but I didn't lose weight at all. I have a strong appetite and can't control it. I feel like... I should have some physiological issues.
Seeing that many people say that liraglutide can lose weight, I have searched a lot of information and have read all the answers below. I am also preparing to create a post to record my own situation.
I am still quite cautious, especially when I see injections, I am even more hesitant to use them casually. I have attached an endocrine number and asked the doctor to help me take a look. The doctor said they could give it a try, and then gave me a bunch of checklists for the following items:% 3A
Insulin and everything else are normal, with high blood lipids and extremely low vitamin D (only around 12),
The nail promotion is slightly higher, and further examination has been conducted.
Then there is Liraglutide. The doctor said that their hospital has six types of peptides that can be used for weight loss. Since I am optimistic about Liraglutide, I use Liraglutide. Liraglutide is the earliest and most expensive to go on the market, and Novo is generally priced higher than other manufacturers. In fact, there are significant individual differences in the effectiveness. Some people may not feel comfortable using expensive peptides, but instead use cheaper ones for better results. Let me give it a try first and see if I can't replace it.
So I took a box of lira and heard that the medical insurance records included this medicine that would affect commercial insurance. So I hung up a self funded account and asked the doctor to prescribe it for me (this has not been verified, I'm not sure if it really affects, I'm just being cautious)
Let me focus on the doctor's advice, because I feel that many people buy it themselves. The advantage of hospitals is that they will carefully tell you how to use it and provide targeted guidance.
Firstly, you need to buy a 4mm or 5mm needle, and then pay attention to disinfection. After removing the pen cap, use an alcohol cotton pad to wipe the area where the needle is placed. The areas that can be injected include the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms (as shown in the next picture tomorrow). Do not inject around the navel, which is five centimeters away, and rotate the injection positions to avoid nodules. It is not necessary to keep a refrigerator, and there is no need to be afraid without a refrigerator. After opening, the shelf life at room temperature is 30 days, but under normal circumstances, one can be used up in less than 30 days, so it is not necessary to refrigerate.
Then I bought a needle or something, and when I came back at night, I looked at the pillow and my stomach and hesitated for a long time. Later, my heart pierced and it didn't hurt. I squeezed out the liquid, pulled it out, and threw away the needle.
After the fight! It hurts so much! It's just that faint pain feeling, and I don't know if there's a problem with my operation. Anyway... there's no bleeding or anything, it should be okay. Later on, it was very painful to bend down. It would be better to lie flat in bed, but it still hurts when you move.
I took 6mg for the first time, and after one minute, I started to starve TT. I am still crazy about wanting to eat delicious food, but my lower abdomen hurts a lot and there are no other side effects.
10.186mg67.04kg, woke up at 5am after playing at night, with a tendency to not fall asleep. My lower abdomen still feels a slight pain, and I haven't used it very well for the first time. I don't know if I dialed the wrong number. On October 19th, I woke up at 64.35 in the morning, possibly due to going to the bathroom and normal fluctuations in the morning and evening. I feel very nauseous, nauseous, and a bit hungry this morning, but I can't eat anything. Ah, but I like this feeling. It's much better than the way I used to feel hungry after eating a lot! But I feel like I lost my breath. On October 19th, at 66.15 pm, I lost a lot of weight and didn't eat in the morning. I ate relatively little at noon and evening, and didn't eat much snacks in the afternoon. Hehe, I will continue playing today.
At the end of the week, it was a bit effective. I lost 3.15 kilograms, but I felt very tired and the injection was really painful. The pain was not during the injection, but after the injection, the liquid seemed to flow under the skin... Ah, it was very painful and painful. The pain will take a long time to disappear. I started adding it to 1.2 yesterday, and continue today. If I haven't lost 60 in five days, I will add it to 1.8 I have eaten very little recently, often only one meal a day and there is a lot left. I feel like my mouth is very dry. I hope I can continue to lose weight~
