Highlights from this day
- warsaw_vial — the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing 13:44
- warsaw_vial — eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me, i think taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back 14:09
- mag_citrate — anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein 14:15
- karl_fischer — update on the earlier thing site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it 15:13
- noct.titrate — anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose 16:15

water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
hiccups. every single time. why
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, still working it out
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
im at week 9 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me, i think
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
rotate the site
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
it got better for me
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
week 26 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
😂1
update from 10 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, ill dig out the number
please get seen
update on the earlier thing site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
started shedding hair around month 17, does it stop
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
magnesium
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
day two is the worst
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, from memory
