Welcome to the forum @Jessy

Have you got a follow-up appointment booked with your GP or a pharmacist to see how things are going - sometimes these are offered to people starting a new medication.

Some forum members seem to get on better with Trulicity than others. Is it just feelings of fullness you are having? Or are you getting any nausea or symptoms of an upset stomach?

You might find it helpful to browse through some recent threads where people have been sharing their experiences with Trulicity here:

It sounds like it’s working as it should, it’s meant to make you reduce portion sizes. If you would normally eat a whole sandwich and are now full after a quarter or a half, then it’s doing what’s intended. Just make half a sandwich rather than a whole one.

Sounds like you should chat through your concerns with your GP or practice pharmacist @WEEHOTTY
