Hey everyone! My name is Marcy, I just started my first shot on Friday and am glad I found this group! My weight has always been up and down but after an injury it has been unmanageable so my doctor suggested we try this. I’d love to meet you all, feel free to send me a friend request!
Has anyone had any bad side effects or things that surprised them after starting? I’m hoping for the best but have always been skeptical

I've had some minor issues with constipation - the med slows digestion. Be sure to keep up with your fiber (via food and miralax, etc.) and daily water intake, and maybe take a daily stool softener pill.
Lack of protein can result in hair loss: strive for 80-100mg per day.
I've also occasionally experienced diarhhea the morning after my weekly shot.
I'm down 19# and love this medicine!! It stops the hunger daemon (aka food noise) which is utterly awesome!!
Good luck!
