protein
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
update on the earlier thing eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

im at week 15 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
⚠️3
same at week 3
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, n of 1 obviously
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

that settles
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
📉9🎉3
my resting heart rate is up about 2 bpm, is that a known thing
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

follow up dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
right so has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
update from 7 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
✅2
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
ok so taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, anyway
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
🙏7👀9✅1
eat more
⚠️1👀4
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
genuine question powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
Testing queue: 8 submissions open, 118 awaiting dispatch.

drop a rung
it does stop
