Highlights from this day
  • karl_fischer — the hiccup is the stop sign. i have learned to obey it 21:21
  • nordic_price_nils — i weigh out protein and eyeball everything else. it is the only tracking i do 21:47
  • void_volume — there is no single number and i am not giving you one. but barely eating is not a plan, and a dietitian is cheap next to losing muscle 21:50
  • void_volume — if it does not track with your intake and it has not lifted after a month, that is a bloodwork question rather than a chat question 21:57

new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me, anyway

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption

fibre before pills

sorry to jump in update from 13 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing

VL

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

NT

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

*that should say weekly

taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

MM

day two is the worst

dose day = d0
0.25mg   nothing much
0.50mg   d1-d2 mild
1.00mg   d1-d3 moderate
1.70mg   d1-d2 moderate, d4 fine
2.40mg   d1 rough, gone by d3

that settles

quick one ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

does eating before or after the injection make any difference

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

VV

distension against a slow stomach. eat past the point where you are full and the diaphragm gets involved

VV

taste and smell changes are reported. usually they drift back, or you rearrange your food around them

WZ

i have basically stopped eating because nothing appeals

how much protein are you getting

VV

that is the one thing worth counting. losing weight fast on low protein means you lose more than fat

VV

there is no single number and i am not giving you one. but barely eating is not a plan, and a dietitian is cheap next to losing muscle

KF

usually undereating. sometimes just the first few weeks of anything

VV

if it does not track with your intake and it has not lifted after a month, that is a bloodwork question rather than a chat question

FF

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

MC

do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
