Highlights from this day
- lisbon_lot — if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, thats one data point 18:28
- thirty_min_wait — for the archive i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free 19:06
- thirty_min_wait — my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, someone check my working 19:22
- hiccup_hollis — sorry to jump in if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals 19:47
- hiccup_hollis — slightly off topic but electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, ill dig out the number 19:49
my resting heart rate is up about 9 bpm, is that a known thing
thats not a chat question
day two is the worst
my injection site itched for three days, normal
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, thats one data point
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 d3magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
slightly off topic but powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it, anyway
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
it does stop

hiccups. every single time. why
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline, someone check my working
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
while im here the burps started at 5 and not before, has anyone else had that
let the swab dry
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
that settles
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases

dont push through
slightly off topic but electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried, ill dig out the number
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
protein
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
please get seen

is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
slightly off topic but i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
follow up taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
