thats not a chat question
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me, ill dig out the number
hope it settles
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at

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 d3electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
my injection site itched for three days, normal
unrelated but new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
update on the earlier thing what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can

if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline

do you tell your prescriber about the small stuff or only the big stuff

Digest for the week of 2025-06-07 has been published.
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 8 or is that just me
| 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 |
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps
update from 16 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
🎉15🔥4
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption, we shall see
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
coming back to this how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
please get seen
follow up does eating before or after the injection make any difference
week 29 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
