Follow-up appointments are often short. A one-page summary makes sure the important things get said.
What to bring
Your treatment
- Medication and current dose, and the date you started this dose
- Missed or late doses, if any
- Other medications and supplements
How it is going
- Side effects: which ones, how often, how strong, and whether they are getting better
- Your weight trend over the last 4 weeks, not just today’s number
- Appetite and food noise: when it is quiet, when it comes back
- Energy, sleep, mood if they changed
Patterns you noticed
- Hard days in your shot week (for example days 1 and 2 for nausea, day 6 for hunger)
- Anything linked to your cycle
- Anything linked to dose changes
Everyday habits

- How much you drink
- Activity
Practical things
- When your supply runs out, and any refill problems
- Your questions, written down
Questions people often ask
- Is this side effect expected, and for how long?
- When do we look at the next dose step?
- What should my protein or fiber target be?
- What should I do if I run out or miss a dose?
Keep it to one page
A short list is more useful than long notes. If you use a tracker, check whether it can make a PDF or export your data. Embera Pro creates a one-page PDF with your doses, weight and notes, and the CSV export is free.
