Highlights from this day
- mcg_not_mg — anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it 13:19
- no_appetite_nia — reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber, i think 15:10
- power_through_no — i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free 17:37
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
dont push through
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

fibre before pills
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
🤝12✅5
for the archive if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
week 34 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, i think
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
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, i could be wrong
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
quick one how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber, i think

powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
let the swab dry
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, i have it written down somewhere
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
unrelated but is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing

0.25mg nothing much

has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
update from 3 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
it got better for me
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
it does stop
genuine question im at week 31 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
hiccups. every single time. why
🤝9
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
my injection site itched for three days, normal
coming back after 22 months off: do the side effects reset
while im here do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
please get seen
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
thats not a chat question

rotate the site

how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
sorry youre having a rough one

for the archive the burps started at 1 and not before, has anyone else had that
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
