I am off on holidays for 10 days. Is it ok to stop for a week and come back and keep going ? I have started 3 weeks ago and already lost a stone will be staying on 2.5 mg because I feel good and weight loss is fast.

Is there any specific reason to stop? I would’ve thought the sooner you form new habits and psychology/relationship with food, the better it would be for maintenance.

You could shift your injection day to just before you go, and then do an injection as soon as you come back. Then you're not missing a week.

I wouldn't stop, what's the point? Either take it with you or have a slightly longer gap between shots

So I inject on Tuesdays I leaving Friday and will be back Monday so will miss only one. How is traveling by plain with it I suppose should be ok if I have a box and prescription .

I did my last jab (7.5mg) the day before I flew abroad for 2 weeks. I still had good suppression for the fortnight amd ordered another 7.5 the day I got back. I had to explain the break, as it had been 6 weeks since my last order, as I had ordered 2 weeks into the pen before the last one, but it was fine.

I did my first jab of the new pen about 3 days after my holiday. I put on a pound in the fortnight I was away.

I would bring the next jab forward to Monday, take the next one in Friday before you leave, and then on the Tuesday when you get back. Then go back to your normal pattern.

I would (and have!) take it with me and carry on as normal.

I just took mine with me, it was no trouble at all.

Take it with you do not stop.

I stopped with saxenda and it was a terrible idea

Put it all in a ziplock Bag and take it out of you hand luggage
