7.5mg week and feeling great

Just finished my first full week at 7.5mg and it's been the smoothest jump yet. Moved my injection to Saturday morning, ate a light high-protein lunch, and stayed well hydrated the first 72 hours. Appetite suppression is strong again and I'm down 3 lbs after a two-week stall. Happy to answer questions!

I was terrified of the needle too. Now it takes me about 30 seconds on Sunday mornings.

This is the thread I needed today. Thank you for sharing this honestly.

Just wanted to say, Maintenance for three months now and holding. Rooting for you.

Honestly, My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Such an inspiration honestly. Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Hang in there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but How are you handling the injection-day fatigue. I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. Keep us posted!

Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. Hang in there.

Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. You've got this.
