Sharing my experience so far

I'm a nurse and I want to share a clinical perspective on the GI side effects. What's happening in your gut during the first few weeks is the medication slowing gastric emptying significantly. This is by design — it's the mechanism that creates satiety. The nausea is your body adjusting to this new normal. It gets better as your body adapts.

Same experience here. The food noise reduction was the most unexpected thing for me.

Congrats! That first 25 lbs is the hardest because you're still figuring everything out.
