Highlights from this day
- secretagogue_sy — electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried 22:23
- seven_five_sweet — severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question 22:48
- seven_five_sweet — the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses 23:03
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
update on the earlier thing nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
eat more
drop a rung

nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
*that should say weekly
that settles
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
magnesium
thats not a chat question
[edited]powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

week 3 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
genuine question has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
my injection site itched for three days, normal
fibre before pills
👍11❤️13
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
started shedding hair around month 13, does it stop
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, still working it out
sorry to jump in magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
update from 11 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
update from 21 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 8 or is that just me
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
same at week 3
😂6📈14🎉3
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
let the swab dry
protein
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
👀1✅16😂5
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
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 d3is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
water first
im at week 18 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
Reminder set. I will post here in 5 days.
sorry youre having a rough one
it does stop
