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
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
it does stop
hiccups. every single time. why
[edited]if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, take that with a pinch of salt
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it

the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
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 d3the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

Reminder set. I will post here in 6 days.
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

my injection site itched for three days, normal
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, anyway
water first
genuine question everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle

let the swab dry
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, still working it out
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
update from 7 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
started shedding hair around month 9, does it stop

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
please get seen
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, n of 1 obviously
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
