Losing weight really quickly and having mixed feelings

Dosing

Hey all. I'm close to taking my 6th shot of the 2.5 mg dose and it's been quite a ride. I've lost about 20 pounds in less than 6 weeks and it's felt like A LOT on my body. Between blood sugar drops, struggling to get enough calories, and navigating fatigue, I'm really considering finding a way to lower my dose, although I do have the one-and-done quick pen. Vials aren't an option for me right now as I can't afford to pay lilly directly, and my pens are thankfully covered by my insurance. I'm just wondering, if you are also a strong responder, when did things start to slow down for you? I want my weight loss to feel sustainable and I haven't been able to exercise as much because of the fatigue and low blood sugar (I am not diabetic so this is very new to me). I used to exercise 4 times a week and now I'm down to 1 or 2. I would honestly love to be losing 1-2 lb a week because right now its 3.5 lb. There are plenty of days where I am getting enough calories still though and I am prioritizing protein and fiber. It still feels like I went from consuming 2200-2500 calories a day to 1200-1500. Thanks for listening/reading even if your experience has been different. 💜
