Headaches in week 1 — dehydration or the medication?

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.

You're doing amazing. Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Just wanted to say, I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Been there — it does get easier I promise. Keep us posted!

Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Honestly, Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. This made my day to read. Keep us posted!

How long did the food noise take to quiet down. I keep a food + weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Stay the course.

I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Onward! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
