Week 2 - Weigh in and thoughts

The second week is now done and dusted, time for review and some stats.
Slow blog post because I just got busy...slack. (So slack it's almost week 3 dosage time!)
Each week I'll update the same detail to keep a running track of progress.

Overall thoughts:
Still some significant gastric emptying slowness, then suddenly not.
Food wise was ok, exercise was limited.
No issues injecting from the pep pen this time around.

Overall week score: 6/10

Initial weight: 88.95kg
Weigh in weight: 88.15kg
Weight change: -0.80kg

Peptide(s): semaglutide
Dosage: 0.5mg
Injection site: right side, abdomen
Injection method: multi-use click pen

Observations:
Initial good appetite suppression and reduction of food noise.
Intermittent nausea (dizzy and feeling a bit 'bleh') mostly after food.
Food intake significantly reduced but no issues with energy levels.
Additional fibre has helped with gastric emptying delays.
Also moved away from more Keto style to mixed low carb and seems better.

Anecdotal observations:
Body temp is still really sensitive to heat sources.
Finding I get hot much quicker and sweat more.
Still monitoring, not alarming, not a concern.
Just an observation.

Food style:
Mostly low carb / high protein with limited sugar.
Changed to more fibrous diet with a few more carbs but still very low carb.

Exercise:
Very low this week - mostly just walking.
Missed circus with a bit of stomach upset.
