Highlights from this day
- luerlok — eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me 11:56
- subq_sy — do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through 12:35
- month_six_me — site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it 15:33
- month_six_me — ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at 15:35
the burps started at 0.5 and not before, has anyone else had that
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
while im here update from 16 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
thats not a chat question
follow up does eating before or after the injection make any difference
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
drop a rung
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

protein

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
| 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 |
coming back to this if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
let the swab dry
im at week 26 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
magnesium
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back

what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
[edited]do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

hiccups. every single time. why
dont push through
sorry youre having a rough one
[edited]it does stop
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
😂2👍3
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
🧪1✅10👍2
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, someone check my working
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
same at week 3
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
eat more
