May Starters Thread 2 ~ heading into summer!

[SussexLass87]

Hi all...as the first thread is filling up I thought I'd start No.2

Come along to share experiences, vivid dreams, nausea remedies and celebrate eachother's successes...❤️

@SignedUpAgain I’m a big believer in the old mantra

It takes FOUR weeks for you to notice
It takes EIGHT weeks for close friends and family to notice
It takes TWELVE weeks for the rest of the world to notice

You are on track just trust the process 💪

@Apprenante - that made me giggle ! 🤣
Sadly , am shaped more like Nanny Ogg than
Gollum … 🤣

@cherrybobbins, @Lolojand @AlohaRose - sorry to hear that, hope you’re all on the mend soon.

Modest week one loss of 1.5kg. Had a day or 2 of sulphur burps and was a bit squitty about 24hrs in from 1st jab and didn't get a great night's sleep the night I had the jab - but have lost cms and garmin shows my stress score is much improved and I am actually getting good rest.

Took 2nd jab yesterday, was ok but had the same restless sleep last night and have had nausea V+D most of today. Think it is starting to ease up a bit now but hoping not to get a repeat next week! Think I may need to have very, very light, easy foods on the day of jab and day after perhaps going forward.

If I were getting a lot of appetite suppression, I'd consider dropping the dose a little next week, but going to see how it goes. Definitely feeling a bit sorry for myself today, but trying to eat a little bit now the V seems to have calmed down. I've had IBS for decades, I can cope with the D!

Update on my second 5mg pen!!. I have managed to source via Medino (highly recommend - they were super efficient, it has been despatched already after ordering yesterday 😊)
Medexpress have now refunded me and I’ve left them a shitty trustpilot review - they’d clearly just lost this one and their comms was crap.
on the plus side, Medino was also cheaper, 129.99 instead of 149! And they’ve given me a code for money off my next order.

@Kipperandarthur I’m going to sound horrendous here but my youngest came home from school complaining of a sore head and now when she goes to loo I’m shouting “are you pooing??” 🫣 as of yet she’s not so I’m hoping maybe a bit of a bug rather than just the jags 😬

Oh my god.

I went to the gym class again. Five minutes into the warm up, did a jumping jack and as I landed, my knee dislocated.
It went back in but then when I tried to stand on it, the joint went straight out again.

I am so bloody upset and mortified and furious. Furious at myself for purring the weight on (that's not fair, stop that), furious at the universe maybe. I was doing all the right things! I could have stayed inside drinking heavily like a miserable little goblin and I didn't.

My partner came to get me and had to wheel me to the car in an office chair. Somehow I've hopped from the front door to the couch. My leg is AGONY.

I'm so miserable and angry.

I'm so sorry for the rant but I know you guys will get it. I need to get an x ray and from that determine a way forward. I'm hypermobile but my joints always go back in, it's just my hip that has hurt. Now my knee.

I know it's not productive, but I'm going to have a drink.

like a few others, I’m having trouble keeping up with this thread. It doesn’t help that when I log on I go back to the beginning of it! 😤

Anyway, I’ve been using SimpleOnline Healthcare for my MJ, no probs at all.

So I took dose 3/4 together as I felt no effect at all from first 2 weeks jabs. Luckily no side effects, well maybe I’ve been a bit constipated but I gave birth to a baby log this afternoon so that’s sorted… for now 🫣😅🫣

My 5ml pen was delivered today so im
ready to start on that next Monday.

SW - 110.5kg
GW - 90kgs
UGW - 80kgs

Good luck everyone!! 👏🏼

Sorry to hear that @DidILeaveTheGasOn ! Please dont blame yourself! The universe sure though 😉

im hypermobile too, and it’s so so easily done. Hope you can get it elevated and some ice on it and then sip that drink. Sometimes medicinal is medicinal

Same same but I have no idea how to DM!!

@Samuraipizzacat @GoldieLookingBoots

To send a PM (on an IPhone) you click the little person icon top right then the envelope and then start new message

I’ll send you one! I can only access dms through web browser. Annoying x

Oh gosh. What a nightmare! Hope you’re ok and don’t blame yourself for what happened. Look after yourself xx

(Could I politely suggest that we keep code discussion off this thread? It's not really in the spirit of the board).

Sending huge commiserations to @DidILeaveTheGasOn . Please don't blame yourself!

I am another poster struggling to keep up with everyone's news. So speedy recoveries to those suffering and congratulations to those losing. I seem to be at a bit of a standstill again.

@DidILeaveTheGasOn so sorry to hear that! But don’t let this derail your amazing progress! Have that one drink and then focus on how best to adapt with your injury. Get your pain under control as best you can, get medical help if you need it.

When I’ve had a fracture I found chair based exercises on YouTube were a total game changer - you can get a proper sweat on if you go for it!

We are all behind you 👊

@DidILeaveTheGasOn - you're not selling this exercise thing to me. Dead yesterday, broken today...it's far safer to lie down on the sofa and eat crisps.

You look after yourself. And as a fellow drinker, have a medicinal glass. Tomorrow is another day.

Aww, you guys, so supportive. Thank you. I feel like I've just had a big hug. That's really lifted me. Thank you x

@DBatteryBand you made me laugh, I really needed that 😂

@Mounraine apologies, just nice to help if we can.

Oh goodness @DidILeaveTheGasOn! Things people do to get out of exercising! Hope you’re feeling better soon.

😓

😁

God that sounds painful @DidILeaveTheGasOnhope you’ve had a stiff drink now

@Lolojim not doing half dose but i wait 9 days instead of 7 for my injection. I feel the suppression is still there so theres no real need to do another jab so quickly. I could wait longer but i dont want to take too many risks!!

Been to hot yoga again today - loved it! I feel so good 😊
i really do feel lucky that i feel more energised, i dont know if it is the jab or the feeling of being in control or something but even though im not losing as much as i was expecting (between 1 and 1.5kg a week), im loving the extra energy!

@DidILeaveTheGasOn that is so unfair! There you are, trying your best to be fit, and the universe, fate or whatever you choose to call it, creeps up and bites you in the bum. Or the knee. I hope you swore a lot.

I burst into tears! And when my partner picked me up and wheeled me out in an office chair, I bleated, 'but I've had so much protein today!' And he nodded and went 'I know, I know'
