No side effects? 🤔

I did my first injection last week and felt AWFUL. Vomited the morning after, queasy and absolutely EXHAUSTED for days. And very decreased appetite for the first 2-3 days. Then I did my second injection last night and had ZERO side effects today. Appetite is barely even suppressed. I almost felt like I had more energy today than normal. Did this happen to anyone else? Don’t get me wrong, I’m so relieved to not be feeling ill for days. But I’m so confused by the drastic change I’ve found myself questioning whether I ever injected anything lol.

Oh, you’re so welcome! I totalllllly get it. I have calmed down A LOT since the first few weeks. I was picking every teeny little thing apart and trying to dissect each and every thing that was happening or not happening to me. It was/is also a huge decision and financially too. But I truly think it’s worth it.

I was so shit scared about being so sick the first few weeks, plus every time I move up a dose I get extra paranoid. But if I’ve learnt anything now, it’s that, what will happen will happen! And as long as you’re eating well (I suggest clean, lighter meals/food - I have had to cut out, or cut down, steak, curries, bread), and drinking lots of water and keeping hydrated - you will not be anywhere NEAR as sick as people who aren’t changing their diet and just taking this drug like it’s some wonder injection that is going to magically make you thin.

The only single time I have vomitted so far is when I barely ate one day, and it was also an injection day. My body was not pleased. But it was one quick vomit and then I was fine. More than anything I have gotten headaches and extreme lethargy for about a day or two after my injections and a tiny bit of nausea here or there.

Sooooo many horror stories on reddit about how sick people can get. But there are so many factors to all those stories that we’ll never know either. Something someone said on here when I was in the throws of sickness paranoia - that what you’re reading on reddit, all the people being sick, well the people that are fine or have had no side effects aren’t even posting! - that made me feel a heap more relaxed because it’s so true!!

That is so true! My partner and I were talking about that exact thing - how there are so many factors going into the experiences of others that I can’t possibly know about. And that I’m doing everything I’ve even told (eating clean, drinking tons of water, getting adequate sleep, going on walks etc) and have researched extensively to make sure I’m prepared and being proactive about potential issues, So it makes sense for me to maybe not be as sick as others. But we’ll see! Seriously your insight has calmed my mind a lot, I really do thank you for taking the time :)
