Highlights from this day
- chlorhex — taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, ymmv 12:15
- border_force_bex — a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating 14:05
- border_force_bex — genuine question i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can 14:09
- subq_sy — magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption 14:12
- sulphur_burp — sorry to jump in dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move 15:26

protein
update from 21 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
please get seen

drop a rung
genuine question i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
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 d3hiccups. every single time. why
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
📈4
day two is the worst
👍4
eat more

i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
started shedding hair around month 15, does it stop
sorry youre having a rough one
let the swab dry
for the archive i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
sorry to jump in dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

quick one electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
water first
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
[edited]while im here does eating before or after the injection make any difference
fibre before pills
genuine question my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
