small win: sulphur burps stopped being a problem at week 55
small win: sulphur burps stopped being a problem at week 55. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones.
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.
Bought four different things to fix my nausea. What actually worked was eating half as fast.
Corrections welcome, especially the pedantic ones. Pedantry is how this board earns its reputation.
best — the order this archive was captured in
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.

Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and early fullness is the toll for the first fortnight
Has anything else changed in the same window?
food noise for the first eight days after each step, then nothing, every single time. Predictable enough that I started planning my week around it.
if it is severe or persistent that is a clinician question, not a board question
hair shedding follows the weight loss, not the drug, and it stops
How long after a step up did this start?
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.

ipamorelin_i is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.
a rough fortnight at each step is normal, a rough three months is not
Keeping a log, and what to put in it.
One line a day: dose, day since injection, what the symptom was and how bad out of five, and roughly what you ate. Two months of that fits on one page and the pattern is obvious on paper in a way it never is in your head.
Mine showed a clean day-two-to-day-four window I had been describing as "random". Once you can see the pattern you can plan around it, and planning around it is most of the relief.
fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it
Correcting my own comment above: I said day three and my log says day two. Same pattern, wrong day.
holding a dose an extra month is a legitimate answer to bad tolerance
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
Right, and the hair thing is worth repeating: it tracks the rate of loss rather than the compound, and it stops.
Agreed on writing it down. I could not see the pattern until I had six weeks of it on one page.
That reads like advice, and none of us can give it. Describe what you did, not what somebody else should do.
This one needs a clinician rather than a comment section, and we have said so in the thread rather than removing it.
Nothing in this thread is medical advice, including this comment. I am describing a mechanism, not telling anybody what to do about their own week.
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
Yes. Holding the dose is a real option and it does not mean you have failed at anything.
