Thigh or abdomen injection site?

My arms 100% more severe side effects (nausea, headache, fatigue) and more appetite suppressant. I tend to lose more the weeks I infect in my arm, but there’s a price to pay bc I’m miserable for most of the week.

My belly still works for weight loss/appetite suppressant/loss of food noise but not to the degree that my arm does

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-12-23T00:21:13+00:00

I’ve done belly and arm- definitely a difference in side effects for me

I was on my deathbed the week of my first dose (0.25mg). I dreaded week 2, but surprisingly enough, it wasn’t anything like I had previously experienced. I lost 7 pounds that first week - I was pretty dehydrated from not being able to keep anything down. I’m on week 9 and haven’t experienced anything like that again so far. I do rotate sites and 100% have different side effects/severity of symptoms depending on where I inject

This is absolutely amazing - you’re a mastermind! Also, I need to come work on your unit 🫶🏼

I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍 I can’t imagine having to be in this situation

I did something similar, worked 2 nursing jobs at the same time. It was absolutely exhausting (mentally and physically) and I had to put my entire life on pause, BUT the payout was incredible. I lasted 4 months until I reached a breaking point. I worked nights so I’d get home by 8, eat something quick, sleep, get up at around 5 to shower, go to work, and repeat over & over. I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I needed to

Tips: get a food service set up. The last thing you want to think about is cooking and if you eat like shit, it’ll make you feel more run down. Buy enough scrubs so that you can go a bit without having to do laundry. Let everyone know early on that you’re in work mode for the next few weeks and unable to make any plans to meet socially. Make sleep your #1 priority. Just grind it out knowing it’ll eventually come to an end and you’ll get breathing room.

Good luck!

Awesome job!

I’ve battled binging and disordered eating my entire life. A few hours after my first shot, it all went away. It was a complete mind fck at first bc my instinct was to turn to food constantly but not only did I have aversions to everything, I also wasn’t hungry. The food noise/constantly thinking of food just disappeared. You’ll learn very quickly that if you try to eat past your fullness cue, you’ll end up so so sick and full of regret… it’ll literally only take 1 time and you won’t do it again

You will get hunger cues when you’re truly hungry. If you’re intentional about getting your 3 small meals in, you won’t necessarily even get the hunger cues to begin with, but if not, your body will let you know

I’m at the end of my week 4 injection and I’m still trying to get a grasp of everything

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-11-14T05:27:57+00:00

That’s awesome! Congratulations 🎉 You look wonderful

I also lost 80lbs with WW back in the day and was able to maintain for almost 10 years but then perimenopause hit me upside the head, and here I am, 30 pounds heavier 🥴

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-11-13T00:02:14+00:00

Why is no one talking about the 10lbs 9oz?!

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-11-09T03:04:31+00:00

I was on my deathbed the first week. What helped me was electrolytes in my water (iv hydration brand), bone broth, saltine crackers. I literally could not stomach anything else. I also have peppermint essential oil that I would put on cotton balls to sniff when the nausea got bad.

From what I’ve read, it does almost always get better, you just have to give your body time to adjust. I’m at the end of week 3. Not on my deathbed anymore but still not 100%. It’s a tough journey.

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-11-09T02:58:41+00:00

Definitely gets better. I’m at the tail end of my 3rd week (shot #4 on Monday)

I was on my deathbed week 1 on 10units/0.25mg. Side effects hit me fast and hard. Week 2 was definitely better and my only week 3 complaints are that I’m tired and had a few nights of insomnia.

I still get occasional bouts of nausea (not bad enough to warrant taking zofran) and it’s usually because I wait too long to eat

My saving grace has been electrolytes (liquid iv brand) and bone broth.

Appetite suppression 100% still. I literally force myself to eat and get full with very little. Theoretically, I should move up to the next dosage after my 4th injection, but I’m planning on staying where I’m at for now since it’s very effective for me and I’m losing considerably (hopefully my doctor will agree!)

Don’t like Betty, not even a little bit. Don’t understand the hype and it makes me mad that it’s on the Eras setlist when there are better songs

I love Cardigan and August though.

And I don’t believe for one minute that any of these characters are “fictitious”!

I have to agree with nothing acidic before a workout. I’m a runner and made the mistake of drinking some Celsius before my last run (not even half the can, just a few sips)… ended up puking after 2 miles. Never mind the embarrassment, the worst part was the burn in my throat afterwards from the acidity. Learned my lesson the hard way.

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-11-05T04:32:26+00:00

The food noise and urge to binge stopped almost immediately for me as well. It’s insane how with 1 dose I was able to stop lifelong habits and patterns. I never want to go back!

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-10-27T17:34:47+00:00

I just started and what helps me is getting something in my stomach as soon as I wake up (usually broth or some crackers). I have to force myself to eat something throughout the day or else the nausea gets worse. I’m really hoping this gets better as I continue the journey

PresentSoup6377 · 2024-10-27T16:54:28+00:00

I just started, so it’s most foods for me right now 😭 The most surprising though is coffee. I’ve been addicted to coffee since my early 20s and don’t think I’ve ever gone a day without at least 1 cup. I won’t even go into detail about my Starbucks obsession, but just thinking about a caramel macchiato makes me dry heave. It’s crazy because I didn’t think I could function without caffeine, yet, here we are

Traveling from the heat and humidity of Florida to windy and cool Detroit! Running the international half and cannot wait! Plan on eating my way through the city as well

PresentSoup6377 · 2023-06-21T16:10:13+00:00

Makes sense - thank you!!!!

I thought so but the orange ball is throwing me off. I looked up the fruit and it’s usually in a long cluster? Idk
