Hey guys, I’d appreciate of anyone has any advice or just reassuring comments that I don’t need to panic here. I literally just started at a 2.5 dose less than 24 hours ago. I’m majorly over weight and have myself lost 100lbs or so before though could not keep it off in the end and regained. The goal is even higher this time. This is my first experience at all on a medication. Just like most people I was excited for it to work and quickly because my weight is making me miserable. I started trying to cut back myself a few days in advance and went from all sugar beverages to water and a lot of protein shakes. I did better with my pre start than I expected and wasn’t struggling very hard with that for some reason. Maybe my misery… I find it really really hard to force myself to eat when I am not interested. People just kind of say to do it anyway and it’s hard for me to understand how people can get over the severe disinterest when it happens, which has happened to me at times before. I have 0 desire to eat and I completely fail at trying to force this. The last day i did horribly maybe 300 calories worth of 98% liquid only protein drinks and water. I had a major issue at my apartment for hours yesterday that also prevented me the time and didn’t help I’m sure with the desire to eat as I was trying for hours to stop an impending flood. This required physically doing things that are extremely hard for me or even very poorly advised due to my various chronic pain health issues. I’m super fatigued which can be from that, I also suffer from insomnia and very poor ability to sleep plus now we have the added on (no decent fueling of my body). I won’t die right? People get sick and can’t even keep food down so if I continue to struggle even for days this won’t kill me right? I’m trying to be reasonable but the anxiety that I am harming myself is very high but I’m not sure how much forcing I can do here. I just did what I could and drank 3/4 of a protein shake and a couple tiny bites of solid food but I really feel like I can’t do any better. I’m not having nausea or anything, so it’s not that. How could it even work this fast let alone to this extreme? How worried should I be here about feeling like I can’t force more than maybe 500 calories of mostly liquid protein shakes, if I am giving it everything I’ve got? Literally nothing sounds appealing on any level. Just looking for a little reassurance of what I am experiencing here. Hoping it’s not completely unheard of.
