i keep a one line note per day. it is the only way i could see the pattern
protein and iron are worth checking if the hair thing is dragging on past six months
dropping back a rung for a fortnight is a completely legitimate move
eating small and often was the only thing that made the first month liveable for me
has anyone had a side effect that got worse at a lower dose
a lot of what people call fatigue on this stuff turns out to be dehydration or undereating
water first

my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline

rotate the site
coming back after 8 months off: do the side effects reset
my resting heart rate went up a few bpm and stayed there. worth logging from baseline
eat more

quick one what did your gallbladder symptoms actually feel like before it got diagnosed
please get seen

❤️14💀6
fibre before pills
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
sorry to jump in 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

magnesium
🔥18✅5
the hiccups are real, nobody knows why, they seem to fade after a few doses
reflux getting worse is documented enough that it is worth mentioning to a prescriber
that settles
how do you cope with the smell of food when nothing is appealing
if a side effect is new and severe rather than familiar and annoying, that is the line
hope it settles
Archive lookup: clothes_size_cass first appears in this channel on 2026-02-18.

escalation is when most of the trouble happens, not the absolute dose
sorry youre having a rough one
protein
how long did it take for the GI stuff to actually settle for you
thats not a chat question
update on the earlier thing electrolytes made more difference to my fatigue than anything else i tried
drop a rung
it does stop
whats actually worked for anyone on the constipation, ive tried everything
taste changes settled for me around week eight and never fully came back
update from 10 months ago: the nausea did settle, around week seven, completely
right so started shedding hair around month 6, does it stop

anyone get properly wiped out for a day or two after the dose

if you have stopped enjoying food entirely and are not eating, say so, we will help you build meals

i had gallstones confirmed on a scan after losing quickly. slow down if you can
same at week 3
👀9
do you drop back a dose for side effects or push through
magnesium citrate worked for me where oxide did nothing. that might just be absorption
if you are under 1000 calories by accident that is a problem, not discipline
it got better for me
😂9
powering through is how people quit entirely. reducing is how people stay on it
| 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

*Janoshik not the other one
let the swab dry
update on the earlier thing new severe right upper quadrant pain after fast weight loss is a get seen situation
Reminder for a1c_lag: dose day is today. Set 5 days ago.
severe persistent pain radiating to the back, or repeated vomiting you cannot keep water down through, is not a chat question
has anyone had reflux specifically get worse rather than better
it got better for me, from memory
the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
is the nausea meant to be worst around day 3 or is that just me
[edited]does eating before or after the injection make any difference
slightly off topic but the sulphur burps seem to track fatty meals for a lot of people here, including me
nobody here can tell you whether a symptom is serious. we can tell you the ones that are always worth checking
