let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging

Highlights from this day
- early_satiety — does eating before or after the injection make any difference 20:44
- thirty_min_wait — do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through 20:58
- apnoea_down_two — protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months 21:08
- night_pin — i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern 21:31
- u100_pat — week 2 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle 22:28
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
ok so sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
that settles
drop a rung
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
my injection site itched for three days, normal
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, thats just me
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
let the swab dry

do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
magnesium
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through

water first
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months

rotate the site

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
🔥4🎉2
dont push through
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
| 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 |
please get seen
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
quick one what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
[edited]the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
update from 9 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
it got better for me

for the archive nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question

hope it settles
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
fibre before pills
day two is the worst
week 2 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
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 d3is the nausea meant to be worst around day 8 or is that just me
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
protein
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
sorry youre having a rough one
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order
it does stop
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline, take that with a pinch of salt
