week 32 check-in — 9kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me

PSA Well Actually ×3 Slow Clap ×1 Cold Box ×2

week 32 check-in — 9kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me, logged the same way every week so the comparison is at least internally fair.

Hard numbers: week 32 and 9kg. Anything softer than that is flagged as an impression.

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.

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.

I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.

Constipation is mostly reduced intake plus reduced fluid, not a direct effect. That is why the boring fibre and water answer keeps working.

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.

How long after a step up did this start?

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.
