Highlights from this day
eat more
right so dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, from memory
📉9👀2
it got better for me

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
water first
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, i think
❤️1👀1
my resting heart rate is up about 4 bpm, is that a known thing
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
it does stop
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking

is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
coming back to this do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
that settles
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
update from 12 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
my injection site itched for three days, normal
[edited]Verification log updated: FGP — evidence added, status unchanged.
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
hiccups. every single time. why
Reminder set. I will post here in 5 days.
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
protein
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
same at week 3
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, anyway
day two is the worst
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
let the swab dry
fibre before pills
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
drop a rung
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
[edited]dose day = d0
0.25mg nothing much
0.50mg d1-d2 mild
1.00mg d1-d3 moderate
1.70mg d1-d2 moderate, d4 fine
2.40mg d1 rough, gone by d3my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, i think
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

unrelated but the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

please get seen
Recon calculator: 2mg in 2ml = 8mg/ml.

the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
hope it settles, for what its worth
