genuine question about reflux that I am slightly embarrassed to ask
genuine question about reflux that I am slightly embarrassed to ask. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. The pattern almost everyone here describes, written out once so it can be linked. A step up is followed by a rough window — commonly constipation arriving the day after the shot…
The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is the mechanism behind the "it settles at a stable dose" pattern the whole board reports.
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.
Agreed. Slowing down at meals did more for my reflux than everything I bought to fix it, which was embarrassing to discover.
How long has it been going on for now?
Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The injection-site soreness settled and I lost the same amount anyway.
early fullness for the first eight days after each step, then nothing, every single time. Predictable enough that I started planning my week around it.
holding a dose an extra month is a legitimate answer to bad tolerance
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.
Same pattern here. It settled at a stable dose without me doing anything clever.

Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.
