i stopped eating at 70% full and the vomiting stopped entirely
i stopped eating at 70% full and the vomiting stopped entirely. That is the headline. The document, the batch and the service are below so you can argue with the method rather than with me.
Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 70%.
The effect on gastric emptying is most pronounced early and attenuates with continued dosing, which is the mechanism behind the "it settles at a stable dose" pattern the whole board reports.
Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.
Not medical advice, obviously, and nothing here is approved for human use. One person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
Correcting my own comment above: I said day three and my log says day two. Same pattern, wrong day.
Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.
write down when it starts and stops, the pattern is the useful part
How long has it been going on for now?

This is the shape almost everybody here describes, and it is the single most reassuring thing in the thread.
A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve. One that appears at random in week 51 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.
Yes. Holding the dose is a real option and it does not mean you have failed at anything.
Nothing in this thread is medical advice, including this comment. I am describing a mechanism, not telling anybody what to do about their own week.
Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.
Small fix — the shedding follows the rate of weight loss, not the compound, and it is temporary.
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
Keeping a log, and what to put in it.
One line a day: dose, day since injection, what the symptom was and how bad out of five, and roughly what you ate. Two months of that fits on one page and the pattern is obvious on paper in a way it never is in your head.
Mine showed a clean day-two-to-day-four window I had been describing as "random". Once you can see the pattern you can plan around it, and planning around it is most of the relief.
smaller meals, earlier, is the boring advice that works
Kept a one-line-a-day log for two months. The pattern was obvious on paper and invisible in my head.

Disagreeing with this one line: that symptom is not on the wait-and-see list and should not be posted as though it is.
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and reflux is the toll for the first fortnight
Careful with the supplement recommendation. There is no evidence for it here and the mechanism you are proposing does not hold.
the first fortnight after a step is the worst of it, then it settles
Keeping a log, and what to put in it.
Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.
Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.
That reads like advice, and none of us can give it. Describe what you did, not what somebody else should do.
Bought four different things to fix my sulphur burps. What actually worked was eating half as fast.
That symptom is not the one being described upthread. Two different things with similar names and the answers are not interchangeable.
sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous
