What are the side effects of the weight loss shots?

My cousin has been talking about these new weight loss shots she's considering. I'm a bit skeptical and worried about her. What are the common side effects people experience with these weight loss shots?

Honestly, most of my friends who started these shots complain about severe nausea and bloating in the first few weeks. Some even get quite bad constipation because the food moves very slowly through the stomach. It is best to start with a very low dose under supervision so your gut can adjust.

A cousin of mine tried these and completely lost her appetite, but it also made her feel very weak because she wasn't eating enough protein. Personally, I feel skipping proper meals can ruin your digestion in the long run. If you take them, please make sure you still eat small, nutritious portions.

I have heard these injections can cause a lot of acidity and constant burping, which sounds so uncomfortable. When my sister felt slightly nauseous on them, we used to give her warm ginger water which helped a bit. But yes, the constant heavy feeling in the chest is a very common issue with these.

Yaar, my friend took this and said even the smell of butter chicken started making him feel sick! He had major food aversion and couldn't enjoy eating out at all. That kind of nausea and losing all interest in food sounds like a nightmare for any foodie, honestly.

Please be very careful before starting anything like weight loss injections. There can be serious risks like pancreatitis or severe dehydration if you keep vomiting. It is absolutely necessary to get proper blood tests and a full health checkup done before deciding to go this route.

Some people I know at the gym tried these shots and faced immense fatigue, which made it hard for them to even walk. If you are struggling with low energy as a side effect, definitely talk to your doc about how to safely keep up with mild daily walks. Don't push yourself if you are feeling dizzy.

My wife actually consulted a top endocrinologist at Fortis before deciding against these. The doctor explained that while they help with weight, they can cause kidney strain if you don't drink enough water, plus severe thyroid risks in some cases. You should get a clear consultation with a specialist instead of going by online reviews.
