4th dose

I have had horrible side effects for 2-3 days after each 2.5 dose for the past 3 weeks. Nausea, complete aversion to all food, awful constipation, and body aches similar to the flu. I also have Hashimoto's which compounds the constipation. I have tried my best to eat well, stay hydrated, and manage the constipation but it has been terrible getting used to this. I think I'm a big baby lol! I took my 4th dose last night and today is a bit better than in the past but I still went back to bed for a few hours after I got up this morning. I hate losing any part of my day, and I am so hoping I get past this. My doctor gave me a prescription for Zofran, and it definitely helps. I was able to drink a protein shake this morning without gagging. I have decided to stay on 2.5 for another month. I never think about food and have to make myself eat even on the 7th day after the shot. I have lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks which is probably too fast. I only need to lose about 8 more pounds to reach my goal. I expect the weight loss rate to slow down of course, but I am hoping to not have to increase my dose. I do think this is a miracle drug but the side effects are awful.
