🎉 MILESTONE: Has anyone dealt with do the!
I can not believe I am typing this. 6 months ago I never thought I would be here.
Numbers: Started at 260 lbs, currently at 200 lbs.
Thank you to this community for keeping me sane through the hard parts. You know who you are. 🙏
CanadaChris's experience with Has anyone dealt with do resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.
The main difference: I am on a different medication. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 35 lbs in 10 months.
One thing I would add that CanadaChris did not mention: my sleep quality improved dramatically.
Thanks for sharing this, CanadaChris. A few questions about your Has anyone dealt experience:
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with do.
To answer tom_AK: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
