Highlights from this day
- hydrate_hana — site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it 17:26
- slow.taper — if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, i think 17:33
- mag_citrate — my injection site itched for three days, normal 17:45
- hydrate_hana — the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me 18:43
- kelp_keeps — anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein 20:01
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, i think
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 d3coming back after 15 months off: do the side effects reset
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
my injection site itched for three days, normal

update from 9 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
water first
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
dont push through

magnesium
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
protein
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
[edited]what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
thats not a chat question
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 d3new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
drop a rung
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
[edited]the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

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

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
im at week 22 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
update from 14 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
please get seen
[edited]do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
Channel stats, last 30 days: 71 messages from 50 members.
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
genuine question sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
it does stop
that settles
day two is the worst
ok so week 24 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
🙏18👀3
coming back to this is the nausea meant to be worst around day 2 or is that just me
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
😂10🔥1❤️2
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
let the swab dry
sorry youre having a rough one
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
started shedding hair around month 15, does it stop
rotate the site
📉1👀6💀14
it got better for me
[edited]i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
hope it settles
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
🧪5
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
rotate the site
[edited]right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
the burps started at 15 and not before, has anyone else had that
genuine question water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
protein

my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing
