a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating

Highlights from this day
let the swab dry
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
my resting heart rate is up about 8 bpm, is that a known thing
please get seen
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it, anyway
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
follow up started shedding hair around month 3, does it stop
what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed

update from 18 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
same at week 3
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line

the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
Reminder for mag_citrate: dose day is today. Set 3 days ago.
everything tastes metallic since i went up, does that settle
does eating before or after the injection make any difference
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
magnesium
⚠️2🙏1
sorry youre having a rough one
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose, anyway
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
| 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 |

genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
🔥16📉8🧊7
for the archive sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
water first
if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals, for what its worth
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

ok so hiccups. every single time. why
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order, your mileage will differ
the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing

*Medutest not the other one
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
ok so anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
💀3📈2👍13
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
❤️6📈10🙏1
*PeptideMeter not the other one
thats not a chat question
for the archive the burps started at 12 and not before, has anyone else had that
im at week 32 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
[edited]anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
hope it settles

whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
[edited]has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
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
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
protein
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
👀1
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back, from memory
let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
