About 50 lbs down since starting the pill version and honestly I still get a little nervous taking it each morning on an empty stomach. The appetite quieting effect has been steady for me, though some weeks the nausea lingers longer than others. Curious how the rest of you oral folks are doing, especially anyone further along who can tell me if the results keep coming at this pace.
Medications
Just took my Rybelsus dose, sharing how it's going
idk, only a few pounds in here so I can't speak to the pace long term
Still figuring out the empty stomach timing myself, only a few lbs in. Do you take yours at the same time every morning or switch it up?
Do you take it right when you wake up or wait a bit? I switched to taking mine after my coffee and the morning queasiness got way less intense for me
The morning empty stomach thing still gets me too, more out of habit than real worry now. Did the pace hold for you past the six month mark or did it taper off?
idk, do you take it right when you wake up or wait a bit? I'm on the shot version so no empty-stomach routine for me, but I've noticed my mornings go smoother when I don't rush straight into coffee.
How much water are you taking with it? I was getting that lingering queasy feeling until I started drinking more before the pill, though I'm only a couple months in so no idea on the pace question
Do you find the empty-stomach nerves fade with time? I'm only a few months in and still double-check the clock before I swallow mine.
Do you take it at the same time every morning? I'm on Zepbound so no pill for me, but I notice my nausea tracks with how regular my timing is
idk, how far along are you? I'm only a few weeks in on the shot, not the pill, so I've got nothing useful on the pace question yet
Only a few weeks in myself so no long-term answer for you, but the empty stomach mornings are the part I underestimated. Do you hold off on coffee the whole time or just till the pill settles?
The empty stomach mornings got easier for me once I set a timer instead of just guessing, that nervous feeling faded after a couple weeks
I'm about a year in on the pill and the pace definitely slowed for me after the first several months, though it never fully stalled. Curious whether you're noticing the nausea clusters around certain weeks or if it's just random for you.
Do you find the nervousness fades once the pill's actually down, or does it hang around through the whole empty-stomach window? Mine tends to spike right before I swallow and then I forget about it by the time I'm out the door
How far along are you? I'm around 70 down and the pace definitely slowed for me after the first stretch, though it never fully stalled.
honestly does the nervousness fade once it just becomes routine? I'm only 13 lbs in and still hold my breath a bit before swallowing mine dry every morning.
Do you take yours at the same time every morning? I got sloppy about that for a week and the queasy mornings came back, so now it's the first thing I do when I get up.
The empty stomach nerves faded for me too, though I'm on the shot not the pill so mornings were never really the issue. Curious whether the pill timing is strict for you or if you've shifted it around any
The empty stomach mornings got easier for me once I started setting the pill out the night before, less fumbling around half awake
The morning nerves faded for me somewhere past month four, now it's just part of the routine like brushing my teeth. Nausea still shows up out of nowhere some weeks though.
