I'm a nurse and I want to share a clinical perspective on the GI side effects. What's happening in your gut during the first few weeks is the medication slowing gastric emptying significantly. This is by design — it's the mechanism that creates satiety. The nausea is your body adjusting to this new normal. It gets better as your body adapts.

Coming back to this thread — Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. This community is the best.

Same here — Did you split your dose or take it all at once. How's your energy been lately. Keep us posted! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Hang in there. Everyone's different of course.

I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

What's your current titration schedule looking like. How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Just wanted to say, The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Rooting for you.

Totally agree. This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
