if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

day two is the worst
hope it settles

it got better for me
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

that settles
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
started shedding hair around month 3, does it stop
🙏6👀1
please get seen
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
protein
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing, i have it written down somewhere
same at week 3

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
it does stop
dont push through
👍6😂4🙏5
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
let the swab dry
[edited]fibre before pills
magnesium
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
my resting heart rate is up about 5 bpm, is that a known thing

a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
update on the earlier thing how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
hiccups. every single time. why
sorry youre having a rough one
drop a rung
water first
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 d3update from 15 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
thats not a chat question
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses, happy to be corrected
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
week 12 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
sorry to jump in the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
update on the earlier thing dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
eat more
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, from memory
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

unrelated but is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
coming back after 9 months off: do the side effects reset
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
update from 9 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
rotate the site
right so fibre before pills

magnesium, your mileage will differ
right so magnesium, ask me again in a month
unrelated but eat more

how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
