What you will notice

In the first one or two weeks, meals end sooner and the plate feels bigger; mild fullness or nausea can follow each injection for a day. In weeks 2 to 4, snacking between meals fades and the scale begins to move. In weeks 4 to 8, as the dose steps up, portions settle at a smaller size and the waist begins to shrink. Over 3 to 12 months, weight keeps falling steadily, after-meal sugar is flatter and the body holds its new lower weight more easily.
