Fatigue hit hard on my first dose bump, more protein fixed it. The dizziness was worst on an empty stomach, eating a little first helped.

Same here with the fatigue after moving up a dose, protein and extra water got me through it in a few days. I also noticed eating something small before I felt woozy made a big difference. Glad you found what works for you.
Glad protein worked for you too - it was the only thing that pulled me out of that fog after my last bump. I keep crackers in my bag now for the lightheaded moments, sounds similar to your empty stomach trick.
Down 57 lbs and I still get that draggy feeling after an increase, though each time it's been milder. Something salty in my stomach plus a protein-heavy dinner usually clears it by day three for me.

Only 12 lbs in but I've noticed the same pattern - my first bump wiped me out until I started front-loading protein at breakfast. The empty stomach dizziness is real for me too, a few bites before my shot days makes a difference. Hoping the fatigue keeps easing like others here are saying.
24 lbs in here and the fatigue-after-a-bump pattern held true for me too, though it faded faster each time. Small bites before shot mornings plus extra protein got me through the worst of it.
Oral here at 7mg and down 43 lbs, and the fatigue faded faster for me each bump too, so it may keep easing. I also stopped taking it first thing on a completely empty stomach and that cleared most of the wooziness. Small breakfast with protein first became my routine pretty quick.
Only 9 lbs in and I already hit the same wall on my first bump - dragging through the afternoons until I upped my protein. Haven't had the dizziness yet, but I'll try eating something small beforehand if it shows up. Good to hear the tiredness fades faster with each increase.
Down two full sizes and just donated a closet full of clothes. Hit a number I hadn't seen since college. Appreciate you posting this.
Stay the course. You're setting a great example for the rest of us.
Interesting, the empty stomach dizziness thing matches what I went through early on too. I hit a rough fatigue patch around my second bump and adding protein at every meal pulled me out of it. Down 58 lbs now and small tweaks like those made the ride way smoother.
Same pattern here, the fatigue around my bump was rough until I started pushing protein harder, and eating something small before I felt woozy made a real difference. Down about 60 lbs and those little food tweaks carried me through the rough patches more than anything else.
Only 5 lbs in myself so it's encouraging seeing people further along say the fatigue and dizzy stuff evened out with those small food changes. I've noticed my energy dips hit harder when I skip breakfast, so a little something before the day starts seems to keep it manageable.
20 lbs in here and the breakfast thing rings true for me too, my worst lightheaded mornings were always the ones I ran out the door on nothing. A few eggs before work basically ended my dizzy spells. Glad to hear it keeps improving even at the 60 lb mark.
Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Passed my one-year mark and still down every pound.
Also a big loser here and the empty stomach thing held true for me too, my worst vertigo mornings were always pre-coffee-and-nothing days. I keep crackers by the bed for before I even get up now, hasn't failed me yet. And yeah the fatigue part mellowed out for me once my doses settled.
The crackers-by-the-bed trick is smart, I started keeping protein bars in my nightstand for the same reason after a couple of rough mornings around the 30 lb mark. Fatigue faded for me too once things leveled out, now it only shows up if I skip a real breakfast.
