Highlights from this day
protein

slightly off topic but the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me

dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
it got better for me
thats not a chat question
sorry youre having a rough one
right upper side pain on and off for a week, should i be worried

eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging, thats one data point

is the nausea meant to be worst around day 9 or is that just me
👀2📉3
coming back to this taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
sorry to jump in ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
| 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 |
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
water first
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
hiccup_hollissorry to jump in ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats…
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
Inter-lab diff for lot H-2814: 98.1% vs 99%. Within expected range.
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
the burps started at 12 and not before, has anyone else had that
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move

new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
👍1
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
magnesium
sorry to jump in the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
| Step | What | Give it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | water, properly, all day | 3 days |
| 2 | soluble fibre | 4 days |
| 3 | magnesium | 3 days |

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
eat more
[edited]i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern

if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
dont push through

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
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
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
day two is the worst
🔥14⚠️7
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
❤️1👍8🧊14
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
hiccups. every single time. why
same at week 3
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber, i could be wrong
fibre before pills, i could be wrong
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 d3my injection site itched for three days, normal
im at week 10 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
