sorry to jump in if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

- hair_month_four — my resting heart rate is up about 4 bpm, is that a known thing 16:45
- reta_resting_hr — update from 6 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely 18:43
- power_through_no — if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals 19:51
- cat_on_the_tray — let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, thats just me 20:24
eat more
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free, anyway
ok so dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
hiccups. every single time. why
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking, thats just me
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases, anyway
while im here the burps started at 2.4 and not before, has anyone else had that
sorry youre having a rough one
my resting heart rate is up about 4 bpm, is that a known thing
my injection site itched for three days, normal
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
it got better for me
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
let the swab dry
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
*Medutest not the other one
sorry to jump in is the nausea meant to be worst around day 4 or is that just me
that settles
slightly off topic but started shedding hair around month 4, does it stop
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
slightly off topic but my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, thats one data point
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
dont push through
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing

1.70mg d1-d2 moderate, d4 fine
2.40mg d1 rough, gone by d3i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation, i think
please get seen
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me, n of 1 obviously
thats not a chat question
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, thats just me
for the archive powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
