Highlights from this day
- a1c_lag — eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me 16:54
- eight_mm — i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, not advice obviously 17:25
- a1c_lag — is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea 17:32
- slow.taper — the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses 19:25
drop a rung
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
im at week 5 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
thats not a chat question
Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
rotate the site
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, happy to be corrected
it does stop
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
day two is the worst
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

if 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

*Medutest not the other one
started shedding hair around month 23, does it stop
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, not advice obviously

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
😂1⚠️11
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
please get seen
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
while im here how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
*PeptideMeter not the other one
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 7 or is that just me
protein
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
📉1🎉4
coming back to this reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
coming back after 19 months off: do the side effects reset
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
same at week 3
anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
quick one right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses

has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
fibre before pills
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
dont push through

slightly off topic but ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
