The FDA warning letter situation — what it means for us

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.

You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there.

Reading this and Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Thanks for sharing this.

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

Totally agree. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Onward!

Just wanted to say, Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. You've got this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

For what it's worth, So proud of you. We're all in this together. How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. Keep us posted!

Totally agree. This made my day to read. Everyone's different of course.

Adding my two cents: Rooting for you.

Just wanted to say, How are you finding the higher dose so far. Look how far you've come. Onward!

Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer.

Totally agree. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there.

Adding my two cents: That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Late to this but A1C came back normal at my last check-up. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Rooting for you.

Reading this and You've got this. I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. How's your energy been lately. This community is the best. Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. Keep us posted! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. You've got this.

Same here, Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. Bumped up to the next dose this week and feeling good. So glad I'm not alone in this.
