[QS90]

Following on from thread 1 - !

It certainly puts me off eating anyway, not sure that’s how it’s supposed to work 🤣

I weigh every day. I just like to keep an eye on what is going on!!

So it turns out that as well as being fat I'm also terrible at maths - I've actually lost 12lbs in my first two weeks. I know it will level out but I'm genuinely shocked that it's so much as I wasn't even really that convinced that it was working for me.

@TheHappyBug the nausea and acid reflux put me off - whereas others gave suppression , I just feel pukey ! Still I’m not eating that much so kind of works

I’m on day 18 of my period and finally seems to be easing. Have a blood test tomorrow as have felt awful over the weekend - exhausted, breathless and dizzy. I’ve been taking iron supplements since Sat and felt a bit better today.

Due to take 4th dose on Thursday but will see the outcome of the test tomorrow….

Really not sure if it’s the MJ or just a coincidence with Peri and probably will never know 🤷‍♀️

W1D2 here. I've felt a bit lightheaded all day and have definitely felt hungry, but the hunger doesn't seem to be bothering me - before I'd be hunting out food and snacking to appease it. It's a weird feeling.

W1D5 for me, and so far no ghastly side effects. I’m still getting some food noise but so far am managing to fight it off. Had a sneaky peak at the scales today and have lost about 3lb in the five days.

I also weigh every day so I can see how things fluctuate over a month and compare

Morning! Wk4D1 for me, just weighed and here are my numbers-
SW12st10
wk1 -7lbs
wk2 -1.5lbs
wk3 -2.5lbs
wk4 -2lbs
CW11st11

Lost another 4.5cm from my total measurements as well this week.

Was hoping to get to 11st10 purely to get a nice round stone off but I’m very happy with my 13lbs and I’m currently on my period which does affect my weight.

Not doing my first 5mg until this evening as I’m out in the car driving to client meetings and I could really not do with jazzy SE/shitting myself 🫠

Let me know how you get on. I did my w3 injection last Friday and have not felt much appetite suppression at all and have only lost 0.3 kg so feel it’s time to move up. Did you do any 3.75mg doses? Or are you going straight to 5mg. Think I might try 3.75 as my w4 dose 😬 well done for your achievements so far !

Fourth jab done. 7/8 lb off so far..I don't muck about with 1/4 lbs so it has varied a bit. Trying to decide if I order the 5 or 2.5 and waiting for syringes to attempt the golden dose. I'd like to have topped double figures but I'll take half a stone.

Really sorry to be a pain everyone, i have done a search but it is bringing either too much or not the right thing, nothing back so obviously not doing it right.

Could someone kindly link the Amazon ( i have prime) page where i can buy more needles that the online prescriber sends. I might try a lower dose next week. Thanks .

W2D2 and I have been having some explosive side effects this morning. Thankfully they aren’t urgent so hopefully no risk of shitting myself but certainly going through some loo cleaner today!

Poor you. Is this from increasing your dose?

What did you eat before bed?

@ymemanresu I am still on 2.5mg, I’ve only had two jabs so far.

The last thing I ate was Salmon, rice and sweetcorn. The salmon was quite greasy.

I picked at bits of chocolate the day before it might take a few days to work through I guess?

Maybe…

id say the greasy salmon

ive found that the moment I stray from plain basic proteins and salad/veg I get the squits

Don't buy from Amazon. You need to use a med company. I have a delivery hopefully arriving today from SHD Medical. Less than a tenner for 12 what I hope are the right size etc needles and syringes. (Check that what you order comes with both).

Oh ok, thanks, what am i looking for?

For extra needles for your pen they're 4mm Microfine Needles. I've found a link for Chemist4U that are compatible for WLI ☺️

Thank you so much so much, i can now help someone else with the question now 😊

Hi all, I have taken my first dose last night. Excited to get started on this journey.

How long did it take for people to feel any affect. I've woken up feeling exactly the same...though not sure if that is normal?

Despite losing 10lb in first 10 days I am now on W4D5 and not lost anything since. I had such ranging hunger in W2/3 that I was convinved I had missed a dose. I am doing 2MAD / IF - so first food at 3pm. I am on HRT and have had a heavy period dor the past week and at 58 not had one for 6-7 years. Seems the prog is not being absorbed so need to see GP - also causing me insomnia and therefore shocking mood in day time.

Yesterday I had such bad abdominal discomfort - so severely bloated I couldnt sit and was unable to sleep 4am - I was googling gastroparesis. This has passed this morning but I am wiped out. I didnt eat healthy yesterday - only 2 crumpets with butter and a kitkat at 3pm - I needed some comfort food but was too uncomfortable to eat thereafter.

I am hoping that when the period finishes and now the bloating has resolved (for today at least) - I will start to see a shift in the scales?

Be careful, im sure you know abdominal pain can caused by gallstones from losing too quickly?
Im really worried about this and researching it now.
