hank_denver's experience with Eating out on GLP-1 need resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I titrated faster. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 44 lbs in 9 months.

One thing I would add that hank_denver did not mention: the relationship with food fundamentally changed.
