This is my accountability thread and reminder I need to inject on a Wednesday night.

First jab completed tonight with help from DP. Forgot to pinch skin and pulled it out at weird angle scratching myself, other than that all good.

Starting weight 202lb on my period so bit bloated - let's see how I go. Will most likely weigh daily as I do anyway but only note it down when it's a loss.
Hoping for a good night's sleep with no side effects.

Gosh that's a lot to go through. I found it terribly traumatic and I'm not prepared for it to happen again this time.

Sunday better nights sleep, still no suppression. 1797 calories yesterday, starving. No side effects. Gained 4lb so far.

Food arrives in 45 mins will make better choices hopefully this week and ride out the hunger till can go up a dose beginning of October.

Sorry you're not feeling the effects yet @Doggymummar . The higher dose is the end goal for a reason I imagine.

I have found myself less hungry than usual but not overtly. Just at a level where I'm wondering if it's the placebo effect so far! I managed to have quite a reasonably sized meal last night without any ill effects but I did feel less bothered about it, like I was more in control and it was a choice.

No side effects yet. Drinking loads of water as advised by others so maybe that is helping.

Had my session with the online coach and set a goal to eat more fruit and veg than I usually would and try to go for a walk 5 times this week. She was nice but being a diet club veteran, not sure whether the coach support is going to help long term! Same old stuff!

Yeah, interesting you say that. Hopefully it will kick in for us as the doses increase.

I hope the month goes quickly for you!

Doggymummar · 24/09/2024 11:41

Me too. Thankyou, second dose tomorrow. Does it build up as you have more jabs do we know or does it wear off over the week and then just get topped up?

A bit of both.

It builds up to a point and then stablisies...

Wednesday - weighed in at 202lb didn't expect a loss so that's ok. Constipated three days now. Will look to do something about that after dentist tomorrow. Maybe a little suppression but still major food noise, also craving alcohol which I couldn't stomach the smell of on Ryselbus. Sleep a little better 49pc.

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 25/09/2024 20:55

Second jab tonight. Dentist tomorrow really hope I don't get the runs as it's a 90 minute appointment and that would be so embarrassing.

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 26/09/2024 18:45

No runs, no side effects. 1427 cals today.

Friday - volunteering ate a bit of rubbish and had a gin and tonic. Didn't track calories. Saturday woke up with awful stomach cramps and sat on loo for half an hour with awful constipation. Eventually went and had to go back to bed as in so much rectal pain. Shopping trip abandoned. Sticking up on high fibre foods for next week. Taken a laxative

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 28/09/2024 17:56

Omg, the pain, the diarrhoea. Been unable to get off the loo the whole day. Maybe I'll drop a pound.

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 29/09/2024 12:00

Cw 200.8 so the toilet trips had some effect!

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 30/09/2024 13:16

Cw 200.2

So third weighing this morning, third jab last night. No side effects I have mentioned already. I.e constipation suppressing not working yet. Still craving alcohol and have gone back to coffee which I haven't drunk for donkeys. Eating better, but still up three pounds. Hopefully the 5mg will be better when it arrives.

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 04/10/2024 10:16

Friday, first poo of the week!! Need to work on more fibre next week

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 07/10/2024 16:03

Monday October 7th. pooped again today, still no side affects

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 10/10/2024 12:09

So skipped a day this week due to prune gate, and having the dentist today, didn't want to poop in the dentist chair. Took the last 2.5mg dose today, along with the excess in the pen. Next week up to the 5mg. Forgot to weigh but imagine I stayed the same.

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 11/10/2024 09:08

Oh boy, bad night last night with reflux. Food was chicken tikka wrap. Small glass of wine and a couple big vodka and cokes. I am thinking it was the alcohol and I may have reached a turning point, fingers 🤞

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 12/10/2024 18:32

No poop since Monday have taken laxative tonight hoping can go tomorrow. Ordered some higher fibre foods for next week. Will add in chia seeds.

OP posts:
Doggymummar · 13/10/2024 10:50

Second laxative this morning don't feel constipated but I know I should go, if that makes sense, tomorrow will be a week without pooing and that feels too long to be healthy. Chia seeds have arrived so will have chia pudding daily next week, which should help.
