i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, i have it written down somewhere
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
hope it settles
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
that settles
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
right so a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
magnesium

day two is the worst
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing, n of 1 obviously
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, for what its worth
sorry youre having a rough one
thats not a chat question
[edited]slightly off topic but ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
two_three_liftsthe shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you…
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, not advice obviously
same at week 3
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
the burps started at 1.7 and not before, has anyone else had that
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

unrelated but is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
water first
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
it does stop
dont push through
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
ok so do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

sorry to jump in my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, ymmv
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
it got better for me
while im here whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

split_shipmentsite itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
eat more
sorry youre having a rough one, thats one data point
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
im at week 16 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
coming back after 9 months off: do the side effects reset
fibre before pills
my injection site itched for three days, normal
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
rotate the site
