I'm a nurse and I want to share a clinical perspective on the GI side effects. What's happening in your gut during the first few weeks is the medication slowing gastric emptying significantly. This is by design — it's the mechanism that creates satiety. The nausea is your body adjusting to this new normal. It gets better as your body adapts.

For what it's worth, The mental side is harder than people admit.

Adding my two cents: Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. You should be really proud. So glad I'm not alone in this. Everyone's different of course.

Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Did you split your dose or take it all at once. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Following along — Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through.

Adding my two cents: Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Hang in there. Everyone's different of course.
