The first-month checklist: from the fridge shelf to the dose-two conversation
THE SHORT ANSWER
Month one runs best pre-decided. Four phases, sixteen items, each linking its full file — print it, tape it inside the cabinet, cross things off.
Before dose one
- Storage set: fridge zone at 36–46°F, not the door, never the freezer; your product's room-temp allowance written on the box. (numbers)
- Label read: product, concentration, and BUD checked against your prescription. (why)
- Sharps solved: container placed, disposal route known. (how)
- Anchor day chosen — stapled to an existing habit, reminder set anyway. (how)
- The nausea shelf stocked — crackers, rice, broth, ginger, cold options — during a good day. (list)
- The miss pre-decided: your take-or-skip windows on a note in the drawer. (the tree)
Week one
- Dose logged: date, site, product check — entry one of the ledger. (why)
- Hydration running: the bottle in play; fluids ahead of thirst. (why)
- Protein leading: every eating occasion opens with it — the floor doesn't wait for month two. (the floor)
- Notes, not verdicts: GI observations dated and brief — week one is data, not destiny. (context)
Weeks two–three
- Site rotation rolling per the map. (map)
- The two stop-and-call symptoms known — severe persistent abdominal pain leads the list — versus the nuisance middle. (the column)
- Movement floor started: the first two-day week logged, scaled to your Tuesday. (the floor)
- Paper trail opened: signup screenshots filed; any clinician call confirmed in a message. (the habit)
Week four — the dose-two conversation
- The assessment sent: tolerability summary, weight trend if tracked weekly, questions listed — the message that makes escalation a decision instead of a default. (the ladder)
- The confirmation captured: next dose and next price, in writing, before it ships. (the script)
