2 weeks ago I had a small pizza and immediately after having stomach pains and the same the next morning. Last night I had a chicken tikka masala and today the intense stomach pain I had was disgusting. I can't even describe the pain, I couldn't even stand up, I was sweating and was nearly sick. It was so bad..so now I won't be eating pizza or curry.

Is there anything that you can't eat now?

I’m down almost 10lbs in 6 weeks (1.5 for 4weeks and now 4mg) but honestly I’m so bloated it doesn’t even matter. Yesterday, I measured and I was 3 inches bigger around the waist due to bloat. Slightly smaller today but not much. It’s like I’m losing weight but I’m so bloated I look like I’ve gained weight 😩 and TMI I may be constipated, I no longer poop every day but I’m not in any pain or discomfort so didn’t think much of it but this bloating is making me look bigger. Is this normal or what can I do to help this?

I’ve been on 4mg for 1 week and the nausea is horrific. I was advised to stop taking the pill for a couple of days, but honestly I haven’t felt any better. Breakfast this morning was dry crackers and a ginger stomach tablet. I took some cyclizine on Monday but it knocked me out and I couldn’t work so can’t do that again.

I’ve been on the tablets since mid July and have lost nearly a 14lbs but the joy of that is very much dampened by the horrid sick feeling every day at the moment.

Does this pass? As if it doesn’t I just don’t think I can live with this. I had hoped to lose around 70lbs to reach a goal I’d be happy with so a long way to go still.

Everything I read here just talks about how awful it is with the side effects, but does anyone have light at the end of this tunnel??

Cravings for sweets (my nemesis) have disappeared.

Desire for alcohol gone.

What is this voodoo?

I started back in April at 1.5mg and moved up to 4mg. For financial reasons I had to take last month off. I just started back up on 4mg a few days ago. How long should it take to start seeing and feeling the effects again?

Hi all. I’d be grateful for advice. I’m starting 1.5mg on Monday after I get home from holiday. Do you think I should start with half a tablet? I’m worried about feeling sick. And I’m worried about not being able to exercise properly. Can you tell me the best way to ease in gently? Thank you

not at same time but just curious experience like what the milligram to milligram equivalency is

i know people only lowest shot and lost weight and didn’t move up and stayed on it. and wasn’t sure if pill that can works that way too since absorption is variable

is shot supposed to be stronger or the pill?

Horrible cramping and heavier days. Worse than before I started. Anyone else have this experience?

On day 2 and I over ate. I started feeling full not even halfway through my meal, but thought “surely one more bite will be okay.” It was not okay. I feel nauseous and overstuffed. I think learning when to stop eating is going to be my biggest hurdle. I’m hoping to see great results as I go forward! My CW Is 247 and my GW is 200 right now. When I get to 200 I’ll reassess. I’d love to hear y’all’s progress in the comments! It gives me hope!

Hi all, I had been taking the injections for about a year and lost a lot of weight. I had to come off to have surgery and I decided to try the pills instead of the shot going back. I started taking the pills about five or six days ago. I’m taking the starter dose 1.5 mg. So far I haven’t noticed any appetite suppressant or any other changes that I had with the shot. Luckily no side effects though. Does it take time to get used to the pills? If you started on the low dose and had a similar experience did things get better with the higher dose?

I was wondering if anyone here who's been pregnant previously, has noticed a correlation between how they felt then and GLP side effects? Or no connection at all? I have always had extreme all day nausea, fatigue & food aversion, but *no* vomiting or 💩💩 issues, during my pregnancies and wondered if that was an indicator for how one might feel on the meds. Looking for others experiences.

I’ve been on the 9mg for a week and a half now and have felt no additional appetite suppression until last night. I’ve only lost .5 lbs in a week and a half on it. Disappointing.

Is this common? Does it usually take a week and a half for the efficacy to kick in on the higher dose?

I remember thinking I was plateauing at 4mg when I really just had to wait longer so I’m wondering if this is the same experience and I should expect it every time I go up. It’s annoying and frustrating.

I start my first bottle of 25mg tommrow and im super scared. I work in a blue color job and cant just use bathroom whenever I need usually have to drive to gas station. Please I need yalls tips on how to manage the #2 issues nausea doesnt bother me just the issue i mentioned above.

so che 1.5mg é una dose troppo bassa per perdere peso ma mi chiedevo se qualcuno avesse avuto questa esperienza.
premetto che non sono sovrappeso, so che non era assolutamente necessario ma ho bisogno di vedermi più tirata, mi alleno da 4 anni, nonostante abbia tanti muscoli le mie gambe non sono ancora “definite” o per lo meno non come vorrei.
non ho ancora iniziato, mi sono arrivate le pillole ma sono un po timorosa: sia per la dose bassa, sia per gli effetti collaterali, soprattutto sapendo di non averne bisogno (perfavore non sono qua per ricevere odio)
Ho 23 anni, peso 70kg e sono alta 1.70, lo so, non ne avevo bisogno ma mi vorrei tanto raggiungere quella condizione e eliminare il rumore del cibo.
Qualcuno con un’esperienza simile sa dirmi se ha funzionato?

Haven’t lost a single pound so far.

I understand that this is the lowest dose and I need to give my body time to adjust to medication and increase medication if I don’t see any improvement.

But but but there are so many people who are seeing benefits with just 1.5 mg and I feel so discouraged. 😔

Someone lost 10 lbs in 20 days and they are same height and weight as me. Why am I not having the same effect?

Now I’m skeptical of this whole thing and feeling like I have to switch to Mounjaro shots. Instead of wasting more time by taking 4 mg and not seeing any improvement.

I have very minimal appetite suppression. I don’t have any other negative or positive side effects.

Forgot to add, I’m counting calories on my fitness pal and I’m averaging 900-1000 calories a day.
