Highlights from this day
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
🤝6🧪1
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
😂1💀6
update from 3 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely, i could be wrong
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 5 or is that just me
😂8🎉6👀2
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
drop a rung
day two is the worst

powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, n of 1 obviously
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
[edited]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
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
my resting heart rate is up about 3 bpm, is that a known thing

right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
dont push through
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, we shall see

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
*Janoshik not the other one
while im here escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
week 9 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, n of 1 obviously

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
[edited]✅11💀3
thats not a chat question
fibre before pills
please get seen
same at week 3
the burps started at 2.4 and not before, has anyone else had that
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
quick one let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
