water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

Highlights from this day
protein
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, anyway
[edited]i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
same at week 3
genuine question update from 11 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
| 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 |
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
day two is the worst

i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, ymmv
let the swab dry
fibre before pills
dont push through
while im here genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
hope it settles

taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
| Step | What | Give it |

| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |

has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
please get seen
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 5 or is that just me
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
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
