Negative review: product arrived warm, here's what happened

I've been doing a weekly log in this thread and several people have asked me to keep going so here's month 3 update: down 31 lbs from 278 to 247. Lost about 3-4 lbs per month after the fast initial drop. Stalled for 2 weeks at month 2.5 and it broke on its own. Energy is better. Sleep is better. Still on 0.5mg and my doctor wants to see me stay here another month.

Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there.

Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Everyone's different of course.

Insurance tip: document everything. Every phone call, every denial letter, every appeal. Having a paper trail when you get to the peer-to-peer review stage is critical. Your doctor can reference specific dates and denial reasons.

For what it's worth, Don't give up, it's worth it. So glad I'm not alone in this. Everyone's different of course.

Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. Maintenance for three months now and holding. So glad I'm not alone in this.

Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters.

Just wanted to say, The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Keep us posted!

Late to this but Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Rooting for you. Keep us posted!

Late to this but Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Onward! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Same here, Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Hang in there.

For what it's worth, How long did the food noise take to quiet down. I keep a food + weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Six months in and down 41 lbs total. Thanks for sharing this.

Honestly, Maintenance for three months now and holding. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Everyone's different of course.

Late to this but My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. This community is the best.

Same here — Keep going, seriously.

Reading this and How are you finding the higher dose so far. Onward!

Just wanted to say, Stay the course. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
