i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

TT

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, thats one data point
update from 14 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop

HH

started shedding hair around month 4, does it stop

TT

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

CO

week 2 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle

CO

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

DE

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

CO

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, n of 1 obviously

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

*PeptideMeter not the other one

CO

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it

BS

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

eat more

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

BS

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

BS

follow up whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

quick one hiccups. every single time. why

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

has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
