Coming back to this thread, Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Look how far you've come. This is huge. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, Bone broth and electrolytes got me through the tough days. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. I plan my routine around shot day now and it helps. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Same here, Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. You've got this.

Honestly, Smaller portions on shot day kept the GI stuff manageable. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. This community is the best. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, How long did the food noise take to quiet down. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, What's your current titration schedule looking like. Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. Onward!

Coming back to this thread, I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Going slow on titration made all the difference for side effects. Keep us posted!
