fibre before pills
dont push through

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
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
rotate the site
quick one sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
hiccups. every single time. why
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
sorry youre having a rough one

how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
New independent result logged — WWB, lot B-0114, purity 97.4% (PeptideMeter).
coming back to this everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
let the swab dry
hope it settles
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, i think
coming back to this site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, someone check my working
magnesium
coming back after 19 months off: do the side effects reset
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
update from 21 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely, n of 1 obviously
day two is the worst
it does stop

is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me, from memory
right so whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
water first

protein
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
*that should say weekly
drop a rung
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, take that with a pinch of salt
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
unrelated but i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
slightly off topic but electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, thats one data point
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
for the archive the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
right so im at week 14 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber, from memory
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, take that with a pinch of salt
