What nobody told me before I started: the first 3 days after each injection are rough, and then it gets dramatically better by day 5-6. I used to dread injection day. Now I know to schedule light meals on injection day, drink a ton of water, and the worst is over in 72 hours.

Totally agree. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Honestly, You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Same here — Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Incredible progress. What helped you push through the plateau. So glad I'm not alone in this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Coming back to this thread — Six months in and down 41 lbs total. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Sending good vibes your way. This community is the best.

Honestly, How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. So glad I'm not alone in this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)
