Highlights from this day
- nim_new — do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff 19:46
- rotterdam_recon — week 26 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging 21:50
- assay_not_purity — sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps 22:04
- mira_pins — i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, your mileage will differ 22:18
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, we shall see
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me

water first

reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
update from 1 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |
| 4 | stool softener | 3 days |
| 5 | pharmacist | now |
started shedding hair around month 25, does it stop
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

magnesium
[edited]electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
sorry youre having a rough one

that settles
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
thats not a chat question
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
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
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question, from memory
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
same at week 3
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
drop a rung

water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, take that with a pinch of salt

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
eat more, i could be wrong
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
right so anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
let the swab dry
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
week 26 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
👀8🧊2⚠️4
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps

ok so site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, your mileage will differ
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
day two is the worst, take that with a pinch of salt
unrelated but the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
💀12
fibre before pills
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
hope it settles
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
drop a rung, we shall see
protein, not advice obviously
📈1🧊13🔥3
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
hiccups. every single time. why
water first
