- tokyo_taper — whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything 18:38
- tokyo_taper — slightly off topic but nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, happy to be corrected 18:47
- see_a_clinician — the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me 20:48
- ring_size_down — anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose 21:12

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
same at week 3
follow up nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
water first
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
thats not a chat question
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, ask me again in a month
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, ymmv
follow up let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
*that should say weekly
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, happy to be corrected
that settles
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
it got better for me
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 8 or is that just me
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

protein
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
