Highlights from this day
- alt_ast_ali — does eating before or after the injection make any difference 09:37
- bo_bloodwork — magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption 10:48
- vik_verifies — i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free 12:40
hope it settles
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, happy to be corrected
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
quick one has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
does eating before or after the injection make any difference

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

the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
same at week 3
quick one my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
[edited]i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
right so right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption

my injection site itched for three days, normal
right so nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, n of 1 obviously
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
[edited]is the nausea meant to be worst around day 5 or is that just me

1.00mg d1-d3 moderate
1.70mg d1-d2 moderate, d4 fine
2.40mg d1 rough, gone by d3🎉12
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
while im here update from 6 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
slightly off topic but hiccups. every single time. why
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
rotate the site
⚠️2😂5
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
genuine question is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast

week 17 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
