High-protein meals that don't make me nauseous

Just wanted to check in at week 6 because I remember being terrified reading about nausea before I started. It was rough — weeks 2-4 were genuinely difficult. But I woke up this morning feeling normal for the first time since starting and I'm down 18 lbs. If you're in the thick of the nausea phase right now, it does pass. Hydrate, eat small, and give it time.

Just wanted to say, You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. Keep us posted!

Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. You've got this.

Adding my two cents: What's your current titration schedule looking like. Stay the course. Keep us posted!

What helped you push through the plateau. Thanks for sharing this.

Following along — Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Everyone's different of course.

Honestly, Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Rooting for you. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Coming back to this thread, Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Been there, it does get easier I promise.

Totally agree. Keep going, seriously.

Week 12 checking in — yes, the hair loss is real but it does slow down. Biotin helped me.

Following along, Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. This is huge. Onward!

Same here — Has your sleep changed at all since starting. The mental side is harder than people admit. Keep us posted!

Insurance tip: document everything. Every phone call, every denial letter, every appeal. Having a paper trail when you get to the peer-to-peer review stage is critical. Your doctor can reference specific dates and denial reasons.

Honestly, I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. Onward!

Just wanted to say, My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. Hang in there.

Reading this and Did you split your dose or take it all at once. Hang in there.

Honestly, Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer.

Totally agree. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. So glad I'm not alone in this.

This is exactly what happened to me at week 6. The nausea just... stopped one day. Hang in there!
