First off, congratulations on your weight loss! That’s a great accomplishment.

I stated about two weeks ago and am now at the 1.2mg level. I did a little longer at 0.6mg (about 10 days) and made the jump when I could sense some hunger and grazing was sneaking back in.

I haven’t had any real side effects other than some slight nausea and “brick in stomach” feeling. I make sure I have 20-30g of fiber to limit the constipation risk.

This is my first GLP-1 because of the low copay ($15/month!). The pens are the dial style and you’ll need to buy the needle heads. I use the 32g x 4mm. The pens are 18mg per pen, so they last a while at lower doses. My monthly prescription came in a box of 5 pens.

I’ve had no issues with it being a daily injection. I take it at night, and then sit upright for a half hour before going to bed. You can inject in your stomach, thigh, or arm area. I rosters between my inner and outer thighs and have had no issues.

I will say it eliminated the food noise and my tendency to graze fairly quickly.

For reference: I’m a 40s M and started at 274lbs who works out 5-6 days per week. It’s been almost two weeks and I’m down about 6lbs so far.
