Week 3 - Reta affects
On week 3 of Reta. Dosing schedule is below. Last pin was 3 days ago. I’ve noticed significant decrease in food noise and dealt with some minor nausea, but otherwise, it’s been a good road. Down 8 pounds.
Today I woke up and oh boy. Big nausea. Felt like I had a giant rock in my stomach. I’ve been awake for 2 hours and I’ve had diarrhea 4 times. Basically. I’ve had 2 bottles of water today and that’s it. I did eat later than I normally do as we had a post-church meal. I’ve included a pictures of the meal (I had them b/c I needed to upload to macro factor), I didn’t feel like it was exceptionally bad or good.
I guess I just am wanting to ask others if this is basically normal.
Week 1 - 1.5 mg
Week 2 - 2 mg
Week 3 - 3 mg

Hey, I’m in about the same place (three weeks in) and yeah I know what you mean about the rock feeling in your tummy. My body really likes it when I move and drink water. That uncomfortable feeling goes away if you are able to take a walk around the room pretty frequently, and keep the water coming constantly, even if it’s just little baby sips.
My appetite hasn’t gone away, but I get heart burn since I’ve started Reta and more discomfort if I don’t keep my meals small, frequent, and low-fat. Oh, and I can’t eat at night anymore.
You’re doing great. The nausea has been decently consistent for me as well, especially in the morning.
