Sunday vs Monday injection day — does timing matter?

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.

So proud of you. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

How long did the food noise take to quiet down.

Adding my two cents: Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. A1C came back normal at my last check-up. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Thanks for sharing this.

Just wanted to say, My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Keep us posted!

Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Rooting for you.

Reading this and I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Rooting for you. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. The mental side is harder than people admit. Keep us posted!

Totally agree. We're all in this together. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. This community is the best.

Adding my two cents: Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Keep us posted! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing.

Same here — Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Same here, Keep going, seriously. You've got this.

Totally agree. Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Rooting for you.
