oral 50mg vs injectable 2.4 — OASIS 1 numbers are closer than i expected
Something I keep coming back to: oral 50mg vs injectable 2.4 — OASIS 1 numbers are closer than i expected.
Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 50mg.
First month I lost almost nothing and nearly quit. Month two and three were where it all happened.
The appetite thing was the surprise. I expected to feel full. What I got was simply not thinking about food between meals.
If somebody has the same thing measured a different way, post it next to mine and we will see whether they agree.
best — the order this archive was captured in
STEP-1 ran 68 weeks and landed just under 15% mean body weight change on 2.4mg. It is an average of a wide distribution, not a target you have missed.
Minor fix — the half-life is about a week, not about a day. The rest of your point stands.
Small correction: 2.4mg is the maintenance ceiling on the label, not the starting maintenance dose. The distinction matters for anyone reading this later.
Not convinced. You changed the dose and the week at the same time, so you cannot attribute the change to either.
Leaving this up. It is a check-in, it has numbers, and it is honest about being one person.
Sceptical of the mechanism you are proposing. Gastric emptying slows, it does not stop, and the timings you describe do not follow from it.
Yes — and the honest version is that most of the "it stopped working" posts turn out to be a normal fortnight of water weight.
Are you measuring anything other than weight? Waist is usually the one that keeps moving.
Does fatigue track the day after the shot, or is it there all week?
I would push back gently. Going up because the scale paused is the single most common mistake described on this board.
That figure is the 68-week trial mean, not a weekly rate. Dividing it by the weeks gives you a number that does not mean anything.
STEP-1 averaged just under 15% at 68 weeks, so a 10% year is not a failure
