Want to share my personal experience related to TRIUMPH program trial design since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 281 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 10 months later: I am down 56 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The TRIUMPH program aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

WendyG_ATL — that is really helpful context on TRIUMPH program trial. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on TRIUMPH program trial.

To answer TrialTracker_MD: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.

Quick update: things are still going well. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Just wanted to say — for anyone reading this TRIUMPH program thread who is feeling discouraged: it gets better. The first month are the hardest. Hang in there. 💪

100%. My provider said the same thing about TRIUMPH program.
