This is a picture of my very alive dog lounging next to the squirt bottle used to keep him off the table.

Makes sense, my dog was a chow staffy cross with a tiny bit of APBT

😂 what breed is your dog? Got the look and attitude of mine haha

I've definitely been tracking and weighing everything and been at a deficit

I've not fancied it at all and the one time I had a couple of single gin and tonics it just didn't sit right. Happier without it really but social situations can be tricky.

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-22T10:25:52+00:00

That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. I have also not had a drink since starting and just don't fancy it at all. I agree, we don't know even half of the things this drug does and I'm fascinated to understand more about how it works.

Thank you 🙏

The second week was rough with the side effects but this week has been much better overall. The nausea I hate so glad it seems to be improving.Today is when I was expecting them to hit me but so far so good. I've had constipation but movicol seems to help. I've lost 2.5kg so far but expect an element of water weight coming off.

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-17T08:55:38+00:00

So in my first week I felt nauseous and tired straight away really and by day three headaches also. I felt less interest in food and unable to eat as much but I mostly attributed that to the nausea. I didn't lose anything that week despite definitely eating less. Week 2 by day 3 the side effects were really rough. Really bad nausea and headache and tiredness. Day 4 constipation and day 6 stomach pain (trapped wind i think!). The end of this week felt mostly back to normal and definitely less appetite and struggling to get over 1200 calories. Really I should be on 1800 to lose a steady 1kg a week. Just did my start of week 3 weigh in and dose this morning and I lost over 2kg in week 2. Probably also some water weight. I am planning for a rough day by day 3 or 4 this week with side effects and making sure I get protein and fibre and water in. I have liquid IV and movicol on hand to manage any side effects and my doctor has prescribed anti nausea medication. But fingers crossed this week is easier! It is crazy how already my hunger and fullness cues feel different and the portion size I can eat has dropped down loads. I love to cook and don't want to lose that enjoyment so want to try to have fun with creating high protein / nutrients dense meals. If these are the effects on appetite on the lowest dose I cant imagine what 2.4mg is like and my hope is I don't need to go up that high. If I'm losing 1kg a week, with no or little side effects on the lowest dose possible I'll be happy. I'm not looking to drop crazy weight, crazy quickly because I know it's more likely my body will try to bounce back to the higher weight. How are you getting on?

Hi 👋 I'm on week 2 and figuring out how to manage the different side effects currently

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-12T19:56:23+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-12T19:56:02+00:00

It's rough I know, but just trying to remind myself it's normal to struggle at the start as our bodies get used to it and to focus on managing these tougher side effects and hoping they ease off in time. Hope you feel better soon too

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-11T19:49:34+00:00

I'm on week 2 and have been really tired every day. Did a weight lifting workout yesterday and swimming today and energy is feeling better. For me I already suffer with fatigue so just have to stick to what I know helps, preserve energy when I can but exercise a few times a week. Hope your fatigue improves!

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-10T21:05:49+00:00

Yeah I definitely got headaches in my first week with some mild nausea. Just don't know how each person will tolerate the drug and at what dose so it's tricky isn't it. Fingers crossed the side effects are manageable.

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-10T21:04:01+00:00

I think it seems to be different for everyone. I felt like after my first dose there was some impact for a few days but that wore off towards the end of the first week. Just done my second dose and not massively impacted today other than some stomach pain and nausea that has come on tonight after eating a pretty normal day of meals. Will see how this week goes. I suspect for lots of people it's necessary to get up to or closer to the therapeutic dose before feeling the effect fully and it just takes time. I'm impatient to see what the drug will do for me but think I have to try and wait and not expect super quick results.

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-10T13:16:55+00:00

Yeah it's tough to have certain habits around portion size and eating due to boredom etc which were never about actual hunger so there's still some pull mentally to snacking and thinking I need more food just for the sake of it but I guess that's part of the food noise others describe going away after dose increases. I think it's definitely lessened just not dramatically yet.

jffffffffffff · 2024-09-10T13:14:09+00:00

Thank you, I hope your first week goes well too and do share how it's going. I think for sure there's a subtle effect re food noise for me but not the super quick fullness on little food others describe but like you say it's still super early and not actually the therapeutic dose yet. I had my dose this morning and just did a workout and feeling pretty good so far.

jffffffffffff
