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.

The tiredness in week 2 is very real. Be patient with yourself.

Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear.

Reading this and Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Rooting for you.

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

Late to this but Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Rooting for you.

Same here, Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Onward!

Following along, What helped you push through the plateau. Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. You've got this. Hang in there.

For what it's worth, Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. You should be really proud. Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. Everyone's different of course.

Old jeans from years ago fit again. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. This community is the best.
