anyone else notice constipation kicking in around week 7
anyone else notice constipation kicking in around week 7. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones.
Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.
Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.
Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.

ayesha_radich is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.
Small fix — the shedding follows the rate of weight loss, not the compound, and it is temporary.
The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.
What is intake actually looking like — fibre and water especially?
I would be careful here. "Everyone gets this" is not true, and it makes the people who get something unusual assume they are fine when they should be asking.
Removed the specific recommendation. Describe your own experience here; do not tell another member what to take or what dose to be on.
Nobody warned me about injection-site soreness and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.
Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.
nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose
That symptom is not the one being described upthread. Two different things with similar names and the answers are not interchangeable.

Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.
Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The food noise settled and I lost the same amount anyway.
Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
hair shedding follows the weight loss, not the drug, and it stops
How long has it been going on for now?
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
Yes — the day-two-to-day-four window is so consistent across this board that it is almost diagnostic.
That reads like advice, and none of us can give it. Describe what you did, not what somebody else should do.
holding a dose an extra month is a legitimate answer to bad tolerance
