1 Week Down on the Injections!

First week clean is a good sign. The starter dose is calibrated to ease in - if tolerance holds here, the escalation window is usually smooth.
 
Day 2 is usually when the GI effects are most noticeable for most people, which makes it the most useful observation window - by day 3 or 4 the stomach settles back down and you get a clearer baseline.
 
9 lbs down in week one is a strong start - keeping expectations calibrated for the slower weeks that follow is what makes the long run work.
 
First week numbers include a lot of water and glycogen shift - the sustained pace shows up better around week 4.
 
Thigh injections reducing GI side effects is one of those things that works for enough people to be worth trying - the landing site seems to affect absorption rate in some cases. If abdomen is giving you trouble, alternating or switching fully to thigh for a few weeks is a low-risk experiment.
