Hi all, brand new here. My doctor just prescribed semaglutide and I have a question about threw up at work today -.

Sorry if this has been asked before β€” I did try searching but the amount of information here is overwhelming (in a good way). I am on week 2 and everything is new to me.

Any guidance appreciated. You all seem really knowledgeable and I am glad I found this community.

NurseAsh_DET's experience with Threw up at work today - resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process β€” starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I started 3 months later. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 50 lbs in 5 months.

One thing I would add that NurseAsh_DET did not mention: the mental health improvements were just as significant.

Thanks for sharing this, NurseAsh_DET. A few questions about your Threw up at work experience:

  1. What dose did you start at?
  2. How long before you noticed side effects improving?
  3. Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Threw up at?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion β€” this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. πŸ™

Relevant to Threw up at work today - do I β€” here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.2% β†’ 5.3%, triglycerides 223 β†’ 93 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 β†’ 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 15 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
