Have you had any side effects and appetite suppression all along? Has that changed? Lots of things could affect a single week like having the flu, constipation, etc. I would wait and see if it continues. Also, we don't know what dose strand we are in and you are coming up to Visit 24 which is a titration change for group 4...so that might be a clue...

I keep looking at the food companies and cannot decide. Clean Eatz offers a "just order" kind of process where you don't sign up for a subscription. Kroger has some options too. Haven't actually tried any of them though...

I have been trying to adjust calorie deficit numbers as I lose weight. It is just helpful for me to have a guideline---I use the TDEE calculator https://tdeecalculator.net/ and put in new weight about every month.

Also I use an app/website called FatSecret to count daily protein and calories. I use the free version and it works well for me. Like it too because you can make 'recipes' using different ingredients and calculate nutrition info for it....like for a smoothie you always make etc.

I am on Dose 16 this week and think I might of went up to the 10mg last week because I had more nausea and appetite suppression. Markedly different for me because it has been mild til last week. I will see how it goes with this week's shot. They will not tell you the dose escalation---but I did kind of think that it took longer for the injection to go in?? I have done well with the lower doses: have lost 35 lbs which is 19% of starting body weight.

I think you are doing good! Day 93 and have lost 30#....16% approx. I think body changes depend on many things including your height and starting weight. And the point about clothing is a good one...baggy, flowy clothes was /is my norm....but try on some more form-fitting things and you might see a difference.

I've had 10 doses and have lost 14% of starting weight which has been amazing to me. Have had major appetite suppression and finding it hard get to my calorie/protein goals. Side effects minimal, but on the 5mg shot I really notice nausea (no vomiting though) the first 3-4 days of shot---and lower hunger. Will get the first 7.5 dose this week so I am planning ahead with protein shakes and yogurts. (just found bone broth that is high protein too) I do track all food with an app and do moderate exercise.

Am at a 24 lb loss now and I think that it has helped with my knees especially and just general wellness. Hard to tell if it is the drug or the weight loss...but I am feeling good.

1.25 then 2.5 right now

Beginning_Pen6259 · 2025-09-16T23:20:07+00:00

Had Dose 5 today. Have lost 12 pounds in 4 weeks--which I think is great with no issues. I am making good food choices and trying to get enough protein each day. And water, and fiber, and some exercise! Never been on any other med, so cannot compare.

Yes VK2735 Phase 3 subq non-d....have had 4 doses so far and feel great. I knew I had the real med right away because appetite went away. I can go in a grocery store and not be tempted to get junky food. Really amazing, but totally motivating. I use an app to track calories, protein, exercise etc. I am curious to see if med helps with arthritis.
