Went ahead and mixed a fresh vial with the bac water from the earlier photo, can't spot anything floating in there. Popping it in the fridge now and I'll check back on it later.
Was terrified going into my first dose too. Honestly the fear of vision loss scared me more than anything else. Happy to report I'm three months in now and still seeing just fine. Only real side effect was a rough few days of diarrhea.
Went through this too whenever the dose increased. Pretty sure that's exactly why it ramps up gradually for most people. You'll adjust and figure out how to manage it. Barely eat much the day following my injection, and that's what keeps it manageable for me.
I'm five foot three, for context. Even so, I've seen photos of people my exact height carrying identical numbers on the scale, and every one of them looks totally different. Really drives home that the scale number is just one data point among many.
A lot of people drop a noticeable amount that opening week just from inflammation and water shedding. Doesn't usually keep pace like that afterward, but stick with the exercise, hydration, and eating well and you'll keep seeing progress.
