Highlights from this day
- hiccup_hollis — genuine question is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea 11:39
- VialBot — Archive lookup: fake_tracking first appears in this channel on 2024-11-22. 11:53
- dexa_or_bia — ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at 11:55
- constipation_con — my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline 13:04
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
thats not a chat question
slightly off topic but nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
right so the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
hiccups. every single time. why
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, ill dig out the number
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
slightly off topic but the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
week 25 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
day two is the worst
my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing
let the swab dry
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
drop a rung
im at week 2 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
dont push through

do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
genuine question is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

that settles
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 d3the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
rotate the site
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

eat more
coming back after 12 months off: do the side effects reset
❤️9💀5
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
ok so fibre before pills
