Congrats ZaraB_AL!! Keep going — you're doing incredible. 🎉
pam_columbus's experience with Grief over lost years resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.
The main difference: I had more GI issues initially. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 45 lbs in 10 months.
One thing I would add that pam_columbus did not mention: insurance coverage was a major hurdle.
