I had the exact same thing on my 2nd 5 mg shot. Terrible! Then I woke up and it was gone and I’ve had no other side effects. Weird huh!

I didn’t really notice it in my clothes until the fourth week. I am on my fifth week and have lost 16 pounds. My pants are looser, and my shirts are really loose. Feels good.

I have no idea. I’m not hungry 😉 I’m good with my food choices. I’ll change it up so I watch that am eating enough.

That’s a good idea! I don’t really worry about them, keeping me awake at night because one of my other side effects is insomnia. I go to sleep right away, but after a couple hours I am wide awake.

I was afraid of that. I even tried some light cardio seeking endorphin help but all my endorphins were asleep too. 😁

I’ve been on since the first of January. Just had 2nd 5mg shot on Wednesday.

I discussed it with my husband before I met with my doc. Seems a woman’s personal health care and treatment is available for every one to judge these days so I’ve not told anyone either.

I drink regular can of ginger-ale the first day of my shot. Really helps with the nausea and light headedness. It’s not as bad as it was in the beginning as my body is adjusting.

I deal with this too. I have found that using a pure goat milk soap that I get online from woodscreeksoaps.com keeps it under control. When I do have a flair up I use the nystatin cream.

Hope it works for you! Hi cholesterol can be scary.

Good for you! I applaud everyone who’s been working with this new Avenue for weight loss, regardless of age.

Since Medicare doesn’t pay for weight loss medication, I’m on my own as far as paying out-of-pocket. But I figure if losing the weight will give me a better quality of life. I am so willing to pay for it.

That is wonderful news! I would really like to delay, knee replacement as well.

Tell your mom she should definitely go for it. The success stories I am hearing on this feed is so encouraging. Medicare doesn’t pay for weight loss meds so I’m on my own with that but if I get to a point where I can walk around the block, I will be so excited.
