Same here, Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Cheering you on from here. Ginger tea and tiny meals saved me through the early weeks. Everyone's different of course.

Just wanted to say, How are you finding the higher dose so far. Cutting fatty meals the day of my shot helped the nausea. So glad I'm not alone in this. Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Such an inspiration honestly. Don't give up, it's worth it. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Popping in today to say, Six months in and down 41 lbs total. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
