let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

Highlights from this day
- mhra_unlicensed — nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases 19:51
- mag_citrate — i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern 20:33
- cmp_baseline — electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried 20:58
- cmp_baseline — site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, i think if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not… 21:49
- cmp_baseline — dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move 21:57
eat more
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing
mhra_unlicensednausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then…
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, n of 1 obviously
started shedding hair around month 24, does it stop
[edited]eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
it does stop
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
sorry youre having a rough one
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
hope it settles

please get seen
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, someone check my working
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
drop a rung

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |
fibre before pills
update from 19 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely, from memory
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, still working it out
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
rotate the site
[edited]escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, happy to be corrected
water first

anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, i think
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
