youre not a fraud
i told my family at month four rather than week one, and the timing is what made it go well
grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life
sorry to jump in motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
while im here the food noise going quiet is the thing people are least prepared for. i sat in the kitchen at 8pm not knowing what i was for
Inter-lab diff for lot SG-1177: 99% vs 96.8%. Within expected range.
im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it
while im here my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
if you are struggling in a way this channel cannot hold, please talk to a professional. we are not a crisis service and we know it

thank you for saying it
the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them
how do you handle a partner who is not pleased about you doing this

hold on if you can. week three is not the whole experience and a lot of us nearly stopped right there
i get anxious the night before a dose increase, so i take it in the morning now and sleep first
it does lift
same at week 5
the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal
nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it
mood dipped hard around week 2, did that lift for anyone
has anyone else felt oddly flat since the appetite went
*PeptideMeter not the other one
i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting

we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so
somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine
please talk to somebody
feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel, n of 1 obviously
the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards
you are not a fraud. you took a treatment and it worked. that really is the whole story
