Get baseline labs before you start. You cannot go back and get them later.

comment on week 16 check-in — 5kg down, reflux manageable, one thing confusing me in c/tirzepatide · 25 points · 2 years ago
tove_vasquez is right that the two molecules are not interchangeable.
Not sure about this bit. The GIP arm being real does not tell you that it is what caused your particular week.

Reading a trace posted here, in the order I actually look at things.
Axes first — if the wavelength and the time axis are not labelled, I stop. Then the baseline: where has it been drawn, and does the drawing absorb anything. Then peak shape: fronting, tailing, a shoulder that never resolves. Then the blank, if one was run, for carryover.
Only after all of that do I look at the percentage, and by then I usually know how much weight it deserves. The number is the last thing on the page and the first thing everybody argues about, which is exactly backwards.

That percentage is body weight change, not body fat. Different measurement, and the distinction gets lost every time.

Careful with "everyone tolerates it better". The people it did not suit stop posting, which makes this board look calmer than the drug is.
