[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not maintain. I'm not very overweight, but just a stress eater. [b]The meds just made me sick when I ate so I couldn't eat much at all[/b], which is why I couldn't stress eat.[/quote]

This is what's happening to me. 5 weeks in and I'm nauseous all the time so I'm hardly eating. I hate this feeling. I've not increased from the starting dose and think I'm going to lower it next week. I'm worried I'm not getting anywhere near enough food in. [/quote]

FWIW, my side effects were non existent when I took the shot after eating protein. And while drinking lots of electrolyte water and eating protein forward meals all week long. If you’re already doing that, then you should consider changing injection site. [/quote]

Where should I move it to? I was told to inject in my stomach. [/quote]

I started in the front area of the thigh (you can look up a video online). It was extremely easy, I never had any complications or bruising and I have really had very little side effects. Can you move your dose down a little? And yes to eating small protein forward meals throughout the day. I eat every 2-3 hrs a small meal with lots of fiber and lean protein. Salmon with asparagus on quinoa, shredded chicken soup, shrimp and couscous veggie salad, and so on. For those of you pretending that this sounds unattainable or not sustainable, that’s absolutely ridiculous. Every healthy, slim woman I know is eating low calorie protein forward meals, weight training, and exercising almost daily. If that’s the one thing that you will refuse to do or find unsustainable, how are you ever going to lose weight?
The electrolytes also help a ton too!!! Be super kind to yourself and don’t believe glp 1 treatment means nausea or side effects, it doesn’t have to!! [/quote]

Can you talk more about the injection site and your protein/electrolyte plan for injection? Your post gives me hope. I’m 46 and suddenly gained weight out of nowhere -like literally overnight. I eat well and work out and my labs are all normal other than now having high cholesterol. The weight suddenly piled on what was already my mom bod and it just won’t budge. I’d like to start GLP1 at a low dose but I’m very worried about side effects. How do I find the thigh injection video and what should my plan for injection day? Should I eat high protein and just load up on electrolyte the days leading up? Any particular electro brand you recommend? I’d like to start this and am nervous!
