Week 14: Settling at 1.7mg
The second injection at 1.7mg. The initial titration flare has usually passed, and the new dose is becoming the new normal — quieter appetite, steadier weeks, and side effects mostly back down to baseline.
Week 14 is the second week at 1.7mg. By now the body has cycled through one full peak-and-trough at the new dose, and most people find that the brief flare of nausea, fatigue, or low appetite that came with week 13's injection settles. The second injection at the same dose almost always feels easier than the first.
What stays is the deeper appetite suppression. That is the point of the higher dose — a stronger, more reliable reduction in hunger and food thoughts than the 1.0mg level produced. The trade-off is usually worth it, but it does mean staying intentional about protein and hydration, because it is genuinely easy to under-eat at this level.
Appetite Suppression
Steady, profound suppression at 1.7mg. Most users describe meals as a deliberate choice rather than a hunger response.
Loss often continues at a steady pace through the first month at 1.7mg, especially if intake adjusts to the lower appetite.
The Week 14 Timeline
The Week 14 Timeline
Day 92 (Injection 14)
Second 1.7mg Dose
The second shot at the higher dose. Most users find this one easier than the first — adjustment effects are typically much milder.
Days 94-96
Steady Suppression
Appetite stays quiet and predictable. The deeper suppression of 1.7mg becomes the new baseline expectation rather than a novel feeling.
Day 98
Habit Check
Reassess protein, fluids, and movement. Higher doses widen the gap between what you can eat and what you should — habits close that gap.
Navigating Symptoms
Constipation and dry mouth often persist or worsen at higher doses. Fiber, water, and gentle daily movement help most users manage these without medication.
The work this week is consistency. The 1.7mg dose makes it easier than ever to skip meals or forget to drink water, simply because the cues are quieter. The people who do well at this dose tend to schedule eating rather than wait for hunger, and to keep protein-forward options ready for the moments when nothing sounds good.
A useful frame here is to think about the dose as a tool for reducing decision load, not a substitute for decisions. The medication makes it possible to eat less without willpower; the choices you make about what to eat still matter, and they matter more, not less, when intake drops.
What Users Report
“Second week at 1.7mg felt completely different from the first. The nausea was gone and the lower appetite just felt like my new normal. Easy week.”
— Ana T.
“I had to start setting reminders to eat lunch. It sounds strange, but the hunger cues at this dose are so faint I would skip meals without meaning to.”
— Greg P.
Looking ahead
Week 15 is the middle of the 1.7mg block. Most users have fully adjusted by then, and the focus shifts from tolerating the new dose to making the most of it. If side effects from week 13 are still hanging around, week 14 is the right time to flag them with your prescriber.
