if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

coming back to this a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
sorry to jump in genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
👀18😂7🎉1
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
Reminder set. I will post here in 4 days.
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
| 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 |
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
follow up reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber

everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
follow up anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
the burps started at 2.5 and not before, has anyone else had that

follow up do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
update from 21 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, from memory
eat more
update from 5 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely

sorry to jump in how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
coming back after 8 months off: do the side effects reset
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern, take that with a pinch of salt
