Trulicity

I'm about to start trulicity... if anyone has taken this or is taking this, please tell me your experience. Thanks in advance!

What is Trulicity? I've never heard of it before.

Thanks!

Trulicity is an injection used to treat type 2 Diabetes... it's not insulin, it is a drug that causes your body to produce its own insulin or to properly use the insulin that you already have.

Thank you. I hope that I will not need any diabetes medication after my surgery, but it's nice to know that there are options.

Me too! I'm taking the trulicity to bring down my a1c before surgery.

I don't have diabetes, but I just started taking Ozempic (very similar to Trulicity) two weeks ago for weight loss. I had a lap-band and VSG at the same time (insurance reasons) in Feb 2010. Highest weight: 382 Surgery weight: 361 Lowest post-surgery weight: 285 Post surgery range: 285-335 Today's weight: 293 Obviously I didn't do as well from the surgery as I had hoped and have regained and relost just as before surgery. My surgeon has disappeared during the pandemic, so my endocrinologist recommended Ozempic. It seems like a miracle drug. I've lost 10 pounds in two weeks. I'm not hungry. I have had some nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, especially after drinking protein shakes. I'm wondering if I should switch from a whey protein shake to something else. There's no way I can get my protein in with this drug, but if I can find a protein shake I think I could get in a little more than half, which maybe is ok. I haven't found anyone else taking this. I see your post was from May. Did you decide to take it? What has your experience been?

In preparation for surgery, I have been prescribed trulicity in order to bring down my A1c.
