update on the earlier thing i take mine at 6am, is 30 minutes really enough
took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off
lost 16kg over 9 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway
i was wrong about the water amount, i was using a sip and it needs a lot more than that
anyone tracking whether their oral results line up week to week
set a timer
big mg small dose
plain water only
nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep
did anyone find the oral easier on the gut than the injection
oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me
ruined my breakfast
the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them
one percent is the number people quote and the spread around it is the actual story
lost 6kg over 25 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway
plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly
splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log, take that with a pinch of salt
my weekly log on oral is noisier than my injectable log ever was, same scales same mornings, not advice obviously
the inconsistency is mostly technique and admitting that took me about a year
is there any point splitting an oral dose
slightly off topic but the fasting window is the difference between a dose and a very expensive tablet
the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral
