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.

Late to this but A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Cheering you on from here. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. This community is the best. Everyone's different of course.

Honestly, Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Hang in there. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Honestly, A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
