Emerge Weight Loss

Something about the universe seemed to be all wrong. Your friends, who have struggled with their weight for years, kept getting skinnier, and skinner. At the same time, murmurs of this new weight loss drug have been tickling your ears. GLP-1s, they’re called. A miracle, they say. Could it be true? You scoured the web, picking apart each article for something that didn’t add up, for something wrong about the whole deal. There it is––it’s so expensive! Over a thousand a month! And insurance companies don’t cover the costs.

 

Then you stumbled upon Emerge Weight Loss (let’s leave all the amazing things about us out for the sake of space). This Emerge offers the same tirzepatide at a fraction of the cost. And it’s easy. Shipped right to your door.

 

After weeks and weeks of wringing your hands together … you pulled the trigger!

 

Now you’re reading this, waiting. Your life changing medicine will show up any day now. While you wait, let’s get real for a second. Let’s lay out all the things that other clinics and fly-by-night operations might not be so upfront about.

 

First, everyone starts off at the 2.5mg dose. This is the “loading dose.” It’s called this because it’s the process of building up tirzepatide in your system over the course of weeks as to minimize adverse side effects (which greatly increase if you begin at a higher). Practically, this starting dose will lower your chances of nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and any number of other ailments. And that’s a good thing!

 

Will you lose weight at 2.5mg? Probably. Maybe. But that’s not the purpose of the loading dose. It’s meant to get you started in a healthy way. Here at Emerge, we automatically titrate you up to 5.0mg unless you ask us not to. Some patients stay on 5.0mg for the course of their treatment. Others titrate up to 7.5mg and 10mg.

 

What’s the point of setting these expectations?

 

We see so many patients, and each reacts differently to the loading dose. Some believe just because they’re still hungry, the medicine didn’t work for them. Others thought they’d get on the scale after a few weeks and see the digits at a lower orbit. I understand these expectations as much as anyone. And I’m not here to burst your bubble. I’m here to say, Your Life Is About To Change! That is, as long as you stay the course, be patient, let the program work for you.

 

So, while you wait …

 

Know that being hungry on the loading dose is normal.

​

Know that getting hunger suppression on the loading dose is normal too.

​

Know that you'll probably start getting hungrier on day 6 & 7 as the medicine starts to "wear off." Then, bam! We hit your body with another heaping dose of goodness.

​

Don’t compare yourself to others, especially those keyboard cowboys and cowgirls on message boards. Don’t compare yourself to your friends. You are you.

 

We can’t wait to embark on this journey with you. It’s going to be great.
