When your family doesn't understand why you're on medication

Adding my two cents: How's your energy been lately. Hang in there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Reading this and Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Hang in there.

Just wanted to say, You're doing amazing. Keep us posted!

For what it's worth, Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer.

Look how far you've come. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. My doctor had me hold until side effects settled. This community is the best. Everyone's different of course.

Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call.

Honestly, Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. Onward!

Late to this but How are you handling injection-day fatigue. This community is the best.

You should be really proud. Hang in there.

Just wanted to say, Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. Hang in there. Everyone's different of course.

Reading this today and I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Keep us posted!

I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now.

Following along, Six months in and down 41 lbs total. Keep going, seriously. Keep us posted!

How long did the food noise take to quiet down. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Been there, it does get easier I promise.

Following along, Incredible progress.

Reading this today and The mental side is harder than people admit. Rooting for you. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Late to this but Maintenance for three months now and holding. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey.

Been there, it does get easier I promise. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

Walking most days alongside the meds really compounds. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Keep us posted!

For what it's worth, Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared.
