Highlights from this day
- homa_ir_hugo — the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me 19:50

has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
drop a rung
thats not a chat question
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

coming back to this taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

that settles

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
please get seen
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

dont push through
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
day two is the worst
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, take that with a pinch of salt

same at week 3
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through

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

week 14 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
magnesium

is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
hope it settles

for the archive if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
❤️1🧊5
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
water first

quick one if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
coming back after 8 months off: do the side effects reset
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
sorry youre having a rough one
❤️17🧊14
ok so protein, still working it out
