Popping in today to say, Ginger tea and tiny meals saved me through the early weeks. What helped you push through the plateau. Bone broth and electrolytes got me through the tough days. This community is the best.

Coming back to this thread, Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Hang in there. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. How long did the food noise take to quiet down. This community is the best.

Same here, Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Going slow on titration made all the difference for side effects. Six months in and down 41 lbs total. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Coming back to this thread, Honestly by month three the side effects basically disappeared. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. You've got this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Checking in this morning, Fatigue hit hard on my first dose bump, more protein fixed it. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. So glad I'm not alone in this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Popping in today to say, Did you split your dose or take it all at once. The week-1 nausea was rough but it really does ease up. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Following along, I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone's different of course.
