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.

Just took my Rybelsus dose, sharing how it's going
Oral gang here too, and those slow weeks after a decent stretch were familiar for me early on. Things picked back up for me once I stopped expecting a perfect downward line every week. Fifty pounds on the pill version is legit, congrats.
Nausea hanging around some mornings was my experience too early on, especially before I figured out how much water mattered on an empty stomach. Fifty pounds on the pill version is seriously impressive, I'm only 3 lbs in and posts like this keep me motivated to stick with the morning routine.
I'm about 8 months in on the pill and the losses definitely slowed after the early rush for me, but they never fully stopped. Congrats on the 50, that's the kind of post that keeps those of us at 14 lbs down believing the morning routine keeps paying off.
About 42 lbs down on the pill here, around 7 months in, and same story — the big early drop leveled off but the scale still creeps down most months. Waiting a bit longer before coffee helped my stomach settle on the empty mornings, for what it's worth. Sounds like you're right on track.
Down 22 on the injectable myself so I can't speak to the pill, but the slowdown-after-the-big-drop pattern sounds the same across both. Good to hear from the folks months in that the losses keep creeping even if slower. That's what I keep telling myself when the scale stalls a couple weeks.
Only about 14 lbs into my own run with the pills so it's encouraging seeing you and the 7-month poster still trending down after the early whoosh. The empty stomach nerves are real here too, mornings still feel like a small gamble even months in. Hearing that the creep continues past the first big drop makes the slow weeks easier to sit with.
Down 41 on Zepbound here and the pattern matched yours almost exactly - fast first stretch, then slower weeks that still add up. The morning routine nerves faded for me once I stopped watching the clock so much, so maybe that helps a little. Keep posting updates, the 50 lb mark is a big deal.
Congrats on 50 with the pills, that's awesome. I'm on the shot at 2mg and only down 7 so far, so it's motivating to see the slow weeks still count that far in. The early fast drop had me expecting too much too, so posts like this help recalibrate.
Only about 8 lbs into my own oral run so seeing you still trending down at 50 is exactly the reassurance I needed. The empty stomach morning nerves hit me too, though they've eased a bit since I made it part of the same routine every day. Nice work sticking with it through the slower stretches.
