week 56 check-in — 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 2.5mg to 1.0mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 9 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have constipation I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 38 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
the reflux passes. i promise. not medical advice.
Stalled at 0.25mg, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 88. Very nearly went up. Glad I did not.
my ALT moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
stalled at 7.5mg, went up, and regretted it, the stall would have broken anyway
the the food-noise thing passes. i promise. not medical advice.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
okay but what dose of sema are you on
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Sceptical.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
week 94 on the pen, 17kg down, this is the answer
Sweden here. Waited 10 months on an NHS list, gave up, went private, and the cost was half what I expected but the admin was worse.
Hard agree. Week 96 me needed this. Week 50 me is nodding smugly.
week 44 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder
Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.

my TSH moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
