Shemed January support - Thread 2

[FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden]

Fantastic we made it to thread 2!

This is a thread for all those who have started or are about to start the Shemed programme in January.

Those waiting for blood tests /first pens hope you hear soon!
Those on their first/second jab hope it's going well - do come and tell us how it's going.

This is designed as a supportive space to share with each other how it's going, worries, side effects as well celebrating wins and results :)

Hi
I have just recieved my blood results today and it's only showing the diabetes test, no other results??
Anyone else has this?
Makes me feel a bit unsure of this company now as they have now taken money out for my first injection without full blood results.
Dosnt add up??
I have msg them to check but wondered if this had happened to anyone else.
Ta

Happened to me, only got diabetes and ggt results nothing else.

Got approved and starting week 2 tomorrow x

Hopefully it'll pass quickly xx

Hoping for Melodic's sake you mean the symptoms, not the cheese 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Morning :)

Everyone that jabbed recently how are you feeling?

I jabbed yesterday at 2pm ish. Ate normally yesterday. Had lots of gas and a bit of heartburn in the night, nothing awful. Today have a bit of a headache to just having a cup of tea..

Xxx

Feeling quite a bit of suppression for the last two days, really thirsty and not hungry at all. After about half of any portion the food starts tasting mushy and alien in my mouth and I want to stop eating, also full really quickly.

Maybe it's placebo effect? But if not, this is a crazy effective drug, and at 2.5mg it's not even the therapeutic dose.

I have a bit of a headache but that's probably me not drinking enough, about to fix that with an iced latte. Water next, honest 👀

@RachCmomma I took my first jab yesterday afternoon. Feeling OK apart from thirsty in the night. Of course at 4am I was lying there looking into the abyss and convinced myself that I have made a huge mistake and the jab will poison me 🙄. Feeling fine now 🤣

Morning all. I've done my very first check in and injection (the process was absolutely fine) but now I've instantly had an email telling me it's time to fill in my refill questionnaire 😩😩 I thought this was supposed to be sent after the third dose? I've contacted them as I don't want to be paying another £99 when I've only just taken the first dose! It's not giving me much confidence in terms of the app 😩

Meanwhile, I'm praying I don't 💩 myself later at the ABBA tribute 😂😂

Three performances down, last one tonight with after show party. And tomorrow I take second jab.

Also had the coldness but that was on day I took it. Slightly nauseous. But rest of the week I have been tiptop but drinking and peeing a lot.

All good and looking forward to getting second jab out of the way. Good luck all x

I jabbed on Thursday. I have had no bad side effects.

I am actually feeling really good. I'm not denying myself treats. Usually on a Friday me and husband would demolish a share size bar of chocolate each. I didn't feel the urge to eat it all because it was there and actually enjoyed the smaller amount I had. Usually id eat the entire bar and then move on to something else and not even enjoy it.

Its making it far easier to ensure I drink enough because my mouth feels dry, it isn't but it feels that way which is strange.

Husband wants a kfc for tea tonight 🫣 he doesn't know I'm taking this. He'd be supportive (I think) but he's very much a you're not fat (I very much am and the word fat doesn't offend me) i love you as you are and I guess I'm kinda worried he won't love me if I lose weight - which is a mad thought process to have given we have been together for half of my life and I know he loves me no matter what.

Hope you are all doing well and sode effects are minimal and the numbers keep going down 😀

And i know it is far too early to be expecting results from the jab but since I ordered the blood test I have lost 7lbs (although I was on my period when I ordered it)

Hello everyone, second checkin done! 6.1lb loss 🥳 took my jab off camera this morning so we will see how it goes. I took my first jab in the evening in my thigh, and today I jabbed in my belly so we shall see if it makes a difference 🥰

My box arrived! My mum was very suspicious of this ‘Fridge Item’ that was delivered that I scurried away. I really want to go and jab but I have dog training at 1pm and I don’t want to risk needing the loo! Is it quite quick acting with side effects or can I go jab now?

Just signed up for SheMed don't know much about it and thought this would be helpful. Are there any accounts on Instagram to follow anyone's journey?

I'm 46, mum of 3. Desperately need to lose weight.

I struggled eating at first but seem to be getting to grips with it now. Never in my life have I had to remind myself to eat!!! I fancied some toast this morning and only made one slice...........I wouldn't usually cross my mind to have only one!

I am finding it so freeing to be able to enjoy eating less and to not want to snack. I ate one small square of chocolate last night and put the bar back without a second though.........

I’ve also done my first jab this morning!! Working tonight so hoping I don’t get diarrhoea 😬

my mild manic regarding early refill pen delivery has halted.
emails initially stated Thursday delivery then pharmacy estimated Friday via clicking email.
It’s not even been processed or shipped so panic over but thought best to update here as it’s rather confusing thinking a pen is due to arrive but it’s not

🙈

Has anyone’s side effects ramped up during their period?
Trying to figure out if it’s the virus a few of the kiddies have had or MJ related ?

TIA 🌸

You'll be fine to jab now! My side effects took hours and hours to materialise, and even then it was just chills.

@Mumof5cubs I’m due on in the next couple of days and I’m absolutely wiped out today. I feel like I could sleep all day and freezing. I was mainly fine last week so think it’s a combination of the two ( jabbed for second time on Thursday). Really feeling 💩 and pretty certain I’ve not caught anything.

Did anyone else find that they were really tired after their jab? I did my first jab this morning and I've had to go back to bed for a nap. I needn't have worried about 💩 affecting me at the ABBA tribute concert as I'm too tired to go anyway 😩😢😴

Oh no!!! Gutted. Xx

🤚
the tiredness comes and goes 😴

I hope you feel brighter asap 🌸
my period isn’t usually this painful too
will definitely watch out for this next month, think it’s scuppered weight loss too this week
jab 4 is Tuesday
