Same thing happens to me. Especially right after taking the shot, food just holds zero appeal those first couple days, I basically have to make myself eat something so I don't go completely without.

Did you go with your stomach or your leg for the injection? Heard leg injections bring fewer side effects but slower weight loss. Taking my second dose at 5mg tonight and genuinely anxious about how the following days will feel since last week was rough.

Moved up to 15mg and hit a plateau right away that lasted about six months. Then the loss picked back up, another 14% off my starting weight now, total loss sitting at 47%, and still slowly coming down. I'm already past what most people manage at this point, so mostly just seeing how much...

Getting a real handle on what's happening would take knowing your overall health picture, age, height, and roughly your build, muscle mass changes this equation significantly, along with whatever target you're aiming for. Based on what you've shared, starting around 110 kilos with things clearly...

Not gonna lie, those first couple months hit way harder... barely any food filled me up and I wondered if that's just how everyone else experienced it too. Now fifteen months in, portions have grown quite a bit (currently in maintenance) and I'm starting to think this might actually be closer to...

thank you! I honestly feel like I'm standing perfectly straight now lol yeah it's such a good feeling right! Used to lift weights before starting the second compound and it made me puff up so badly! Pilates has been amazing.

You've got a solid plan going. Our numbers are pretty close. I'm currently 219 at 5'7 (started at 263). Early on I mostly focused on adjusting to the medication itself and the pounds came off naturally just from eating less, at least compared to my old habits, ha. Now I'm at the stage where...

Honestly, I haven't told a soul, and keeping it quiet is genuinely the smarter move, otherwise people assume you're taking a shortcut when really it's just a tool that still demands staying on top of macros, calorie targets, protein, and actual exercise. People tend to picture this medication...

Day three here and the nausea's brutal, honestly considering quitting already. Does it hit you every single dose? Haven't managed to keep anything down for two days straight now.

Yeah, weird how that works. Still have maybe one a week, the sugary kind. Kind of grossed out thinking about all that sugar these days, but still crave one when it's really warm out, lol.

Yep, fruit tasted incredible to me that first month in. Plenty of stuff I normally loved just tasted off though. Mostly fades with time, at least it did for me. Enjoying food again these days. Just can't put away much of it, which honestly isn't a bad thing.

Ease into it with a low dose and climb slowly as your body allows. Take the shot at night so the early nausea hits while you're asleep. Yogurt, soup, and fruit will be your best friends. Keep something like an antacid on hand too. Skip the fast food.

What about when there's more fat on the stomach than the thigh area? That's my situation, haven't tried the thigh yet, might just switch it up for this week's dose.

Amazing, congratulations!! Keep riding that momentum, stay the course! Genuinely proud watching you take care of yourself like this! Cheering you on all the way!

Plain greek yogurt's been an absolute lifesaver for me. I mix in granola, berries, or nut butter depending on whether I need more protein or fiber that day.

Yep, started with bpc, brought in kpv a little while later, then the tendon peptide after that. Not entirely sure about bpc, kept it capped around half a milligram daily, taking a break from it starting today, planning two to four weeks off. Kpv gives nice effects and settles my stomach...

Switching from one GLP-1 to another usually calls for climbing to a bigger dose and waiting quite a while before anything noticeable happens, unless your doctor starts you at an equivalent dose translating from one to the other. Good luck!

76 total while managing through the rough early patch is a genuinely good outcome. The side effect tolerance really does shift over time - what's hard at 3 months often becomes manageable at 6. Going back after losing 10 of 50 was the right call.

the 'labs are excellent despite not eating perfectly' report is one of the more encouraging data points for people who are struggling to overhaul their diet at the same time as starting - the metabolic improvements from the medication itself drive some of the lab improvements independently of...

The calorie-budget approach that allows occasional higher-calorie foods within the daily total is more sustainable long-term than strict restriction - it removes the guilt cycle that tends to create restrict-then-overeat patterns. Protein and fiber first, and the rest fits within what's left.
