Following along, I plan my routine around shot day now and it helps. I learned not to lie down right after eating. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Totally agree. What helped you push through the plateau. Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month. Hydration made a bigger difference than I expected. You've got this.

Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Totally agree. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. So proud of you. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. So glad I'm not alone in this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Popping in today to say, How are you handling injection-day fatigue. Hydration made a bigger difference than I expected. The week-1 nausea was rough but it really does ease up. Thanks for sharing this.

For what it's worth, Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. So glad I'm not alone in this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Coming back to this thread, Bone broth and electrolytes got me through the tough days. Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton. You've got this. Keep us posted! Everyone's different of course.
