Answer Brief

What should I track during my first week on a GLP-1?

Most users remember the first week emotionally, not accurately. A clean baseline makes later dose increases, plateaus, and body changes easier to interpret.

Direct answer

The first week should establish a baseline, not a perfect health diary. Track the shot, weight, appetite, nausea, constipation, hydration, protein tolerance, sleep, and one progress photo set. Those signals create the comparison point for future dose weeks.

Track next

Search answers should end in a record, not another vague article.

01

Medication, dose, shot day, and injection site

02

Starting weight, waist or clothing-fit note, and optional body/face photos

03

Appetite, nausea, reflux, constipation, fatigue, hydration, protein, and sleep

04

Anything severe, unusual, or persistent enough to ask a clinician about

Safety boundary

Do not normalize severe vomiting, severe abdominal pain, signs of dehydration, fainting, or symptoms that feel unusual for you.

Next best action

Take the body check and let BodyM build the first-week tracking rhythm around your biggest risk area.
