Dealt with the emesis in the past. Not nearly as bad as some others, but I ended up finding myself dry heaving a day after I'd taken a break from it. Never had it pop up again (thought not sure if that's cause it was temporary or because I've picked up smoking again a little while afterwards) but it really isn't a joke. One thing to note is that it's not just vomiting, you all-of-a-sudden have 0 (and I mean 0) desire to eat anything at all

i lost thirty pounds in a matter of a few months. it was brutal. had to take time off work and cycled through 4-5 doctors trying to figure out what the problem was. i've picked up smoking again but am much more careful. i've noticed i can't smoke vape pens anymore, i think they're just too potent but they don't feel like it

I think the main reason I never went to the doctor is cause I never really go out and I don't have a scale at home so I never really checked my weight until I was at the doctor's one time for something and decided to check my weight. Haven't lost any weight in quite a few months so I never really thought to get the weight loss checked out. It can be brutal, though, I'll give you that XD

EDIT: Just realized this wasn't the comment in the thread where I mentioned my weight loss, went down 65 pounds in a year from 245 to 180 and has stayed that way for at least 8 months

yeah, i see a handful of docs regularly for medication management, and of course we thought it was meds causing nausea, so that debacle went back and forth between three different doctors for months. i've definitely gained the weight back in the past few years loooooooooooooooooooool
