This is a pretty common side effect. If it started after your injection, it's probably the Reta. I'd consider dropping to 1 mg.

Just grab something with lactulose (like Duphalac) before you're about to pass a mega stool, give it a couple hours, and try again. It's a pretty common issue in this group, but it's manageable. Also, slowly up your fiber intake and drink as much water as you can.

I have seen several patients get significant benefits from this medication. It's important for it to be readily available to those who qualify.

Keep up the great work!

Great job, congratulations!

That's awesome progress! I'm finding the slow and steady pace is helping me make real lifestyle changes.

That's been my experience too. I just celebrated my first year on Sema two days ago and have only lost 40 lbs. I am happy with that, but compared to those losing upwards of 65 lbs in 6 months, it feels slow. I'm on a high dose of Sema now and lost 5 lbs a couple weeks in a row, hoping for steady...

The difference in the pictures is very noticeable; you look great!

I love this for you!

Even your nose looks different! I'm hoping the same thing happens for me... I felt like mine got bigger while pregnant, it's one of those strange things that no one tells you about.

It is interesting that the poster had a delayed reaction. It's good to know that nausea is high on the incidence list. I saw one study that showed impaired gastric emptying is a key issue with this kind of medication.

Have you ever thought about a writing career? You articulate your thoughts so well.

Where can you even find a mobile IV nurse to come to your house?

Forge is selling one kit of Tesa for $500... now on sale for $350. I can score two kits for that price. It seems expensive.

Thanks for sharing your routine, ShotHealth. It's great you're focusing on muscle building. It's important to remember that GLP-1s can sometimes lead to muscle loss along with fat loss, so resistance training is super important!

Did you exercise at all during the last year? You look fantastic! I'm starting next month. I am so excited.

It's so encouraging to see posts like this! I haven't told anyone IRL about starting this medication, but I just broke into the sub-200 club after starting at 240. It's such a huge weight off my shoulders, literally and figuratively!
