Highlights from this day
- taper_or_not — nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking 15:19
- rezept_rolf — the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses 17:24
- gorse_gains — nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, i have it written down somewhere 17:40
slightly off topic but i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better

ok so week 28 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
my resting heart rate is up about 5 bpm, is that a known thing
update on the earlier thing is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move, take that with a pinch of salt
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, not advice obviously

slightly off topic but how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
follow up site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
update from 11 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
fibre before pills
protein
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
it does stop
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
right so 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
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
[edited]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 d3if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, i think
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
update on the earlier thing the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, i could be wrong
update from 6 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely, from memory
rotate the site
day two is the worst
please get seen
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, happy to be corrected
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

does eating before or after the injection make any difference
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line, ymmv
it got better for me
water first

hiccups. every single time. why

the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
❤️16🎉1

nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, i have it written down somewhere

Digest for the week of 2025-10-09 has been published.
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
thats not a chat question

hope it settles
Reminder for amylin_amy: dose day is today. Set 9 days ago.
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
while im here im at week 32 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, from memory
dont push through
👀14📉7
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, thats just me
the burps started at 1.7 and not before, has anyone else had that
sorry to jump in electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, thats just me
do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

right so my injection site itched for three days, normal
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
let the swab dry
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
magnesium
coming back after 26 months off: do the side effects reset
magnesium
ok so new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, we shall see
drop a rung
