WATER WATER WATER. I cannot stress this enough. I ended up in urgent care with dehydration month 2 because I "wasn't thirsty." Your thirst signals get weird on this stuff. Track your water intake. 64oz MINIMUM.
Also: take progress photos even if you hate them. I didn't take any for the first 3 months and I genuinely regret it. The mirror lies. Photos don't.
Emotional one: some days you'll grieve food. Like actually grieve it. The relationship you had with food was complicated and changing it is a form of loss. That's normal and it's ok to feel sad about it. Get a therapist if you can.

Verify Your PeptidesGina 🥺 yes. This one. I wasn't ready for how emotional it would be to not find comfort in food anymore. I had to find new coping mechanisms and it was genuinely hard. But worth it.
One more: TELL YOUR DENTIST. Seriously. The reduced eating + possible acid reflux can affect your teeth. My dentist was like "what changed" and when I told her she had a whole protocol for it. They need to know.
