eat more
does eating before or after the injection make any difference

the burps started at 1 and not before, has anyone else had that
i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can, still working it out
it got better for me
water first, then fibre, then magnesium, then a softener, then a pharmacist. in that order

electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
| 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 |
i lost my gallbladder in 2024 and i tell people that not to frighten them but because slowing down is free
same at week 3
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
slightly off topic but let the alcohol dry before you inject. that alone fixes a lot of the stinging
hope it settles
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
drop a rung
nausea is usually worst somewhere in the first 24 to 72 hours after the dose and then eases
that settles
is it the dose or the escalation that causes the nausea
started shedding hair around month 20, does it stop
🧊2
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months, take that with a pinch of salt
is a bit of bruising at the site something or nothing
[edited]rotate the site
anyone had the fatigue turn out to be something boring like not drinking enough
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation

if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
site itching is common and rotation fixed it for most people i have seen post about it
unrelated but is there a reason nausea is worse if i skip breakfast
fibre before pills
ginger did nothing for me and worked for two other people here. thats where the evidence is at, your mileage will differ
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
let the swab dry

my resting heart rate is up about 8 bpm, is that a known thing
please get seen
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
genuine question, at what point does this stop being tolerable and start being a reason to stop
week 30 and still nauseous, at what point is this not going to settle
quick one reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber, thats one data point
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
im at week 12 and eating maybe 900 calories without trying to, is that a problem
dont push through
day two is the worst
escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
magnesium
the dose day matters more than the dose for the GI stuff, at least for me, ask me again in a month
thats not a chat question
follow up the shed usually starts month three to four and usually stops. it tracks how fast you are losing
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
[edited]my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

update from 18 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely, n of 1 obviously
sorry to jump in coming back after 4 months off: do the side effects reset
hiccups. every single time. why
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating, n of 1 obviously
protein
water first

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
genuine question that settles, happy to be corrected
dont push through
sulphur burps. is there anything at all that helps

anyone found the fatigue lifted when they fixed their protein
