Highlights from this day
  • fibre_first — severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question 15:29
  • sulphur_burp — dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move 16:07
  • abdo_two_inch — the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, ill dig out the number 16:54
  • split_dose_sam — electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, still working it out 18:31

severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, your mileage will differ

[edited]

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose

do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

SB

im at week 23 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem

AT

coming back to this if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

SB

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

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 d3

nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, i could be wrong

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

let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, someone check my working

*that should say weekly

i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

BS

the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

does eating before or after the injection make any difference

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

update from 8 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

👀5🧪1

day two is the worst

SB

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea

site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
