write the concentration on the vial. that is the whole post, written plainly and without the jargon that usually swallows this topic.
Delayed gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is why the early fullness usually fades at a stable dose.
Steady state after a dose change takes four to five half-lives, so the fair judgement point on a new step is about a month, not four days.
What I would tell week-one me, in order of how much time it would have saved.
One: the first month is a tolerance check. You are finding out whether you can take this, not how much you will lose. Two: write down the dose, the day and the waist measurement. Three: a stall of under six weeks is weather, not climate. Four: reflux that arrives the day after the shot and fades by day four is the ordinary pattern and it usually settles at a stable dose.
None of that is advice about what you should do. It is the shape of the thing, which nobody explained to me and which the wiki explains better than I just did.
If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.

Research-use-only material is not approved for human use, so anything in this thread about how a compounded or research vial "should" behave is a chemistry discussion, not a dosing one.
Removed the dose recommendation. You can describe what you did; you cannot tell somebody else what to take.
Disagree. 2.4 is the top of the label, not the goal, and "everyone ends up there" is just survivorship in the posts you read.
the food noise going quiet is the effect people actually describe
stalling at 1.7mg is information, not a verdict
do not chase somebody else’s titration schedule, they are not you
Careful. A four-week stall is inside normal variation and treating it as failure is how people escalate for no reason.
