switched from injectable to oral, lost some of the effect, switched back after 19 months

lost 13kg over 14 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway
coffee doesnt count
the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide
the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them
i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 15 months
mine was patchy too

about one percent
set a timer
i take mine at 6am, is 30 minutes really enough

plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly
not a peptide
right so my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet
coffee is not plain water. i tried it for a month and my results got worse
does taking it with any food at all just waste the dose
oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me
PIONEER or OASIS, which one was the higher dose oral
big mg small dose
went back to injecting
SNAC does the work

*Medutest not the other one
took 8 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me

roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose, i think
the non peptide agents dose daily without the water ritual, thats the practical difference
is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it
unrelated but the fasting window is the difference between a dose and a very expensive tablet

i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food
technique probably
splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log, i could be wrong
anyone dosing oral because of a needle problem rather than preference
