Ok, I had the first jab yesterday. Very nervous. What can I expect in these first few days/ weeks? Anyone on here a bit ahead of me, please?

Hi all,

I have just done jab no 6, sticking with 2.5mg at the moment and have lost 10lbs so far. No side effects apart from slight headache now and again, however I must drink more, I can struggle with my water intake. My SW was 11.12. My weigh day is usually on a Sunday so hoping for that 1 stone loss soon. I have felt hungrier this week so maybe that’s a sign to up to 5mg when I order next. Does anyone else take extra vitamins? There’s so many so not sure which ones I should take? Thanks

4th week, ive lost 4KG (8lb) in total. I was on MJ last year for about 7 weeks and lost 12KG (26lbs) but I came off it for personal reasons. I feel my loss is steady away so I will be sticking with the 2.5 for my next pen - few side effects, heartburn, few headaches, dry mouth, constipation or a few times a little diarrhoea. I feel hungry but do not have an appetite if that makes sense. Trying to eat more protein, i'm starting to notice a little hair loss which i got last time but that stopped when I stopped MJ, its only very slight so not worried about that. Drinking between 2-4 litres of water a day

Happy so far!

Started 10 June but have had 6 shots; 4 at 2.5 and 2 at 5, and I’ve just calculated I’ve lost a stone 😀. Reason I hadn’t realised is our scales are in kilograms. 🙄
I’m over the moon 😀

Well done!

I'm 2 jabs ahead of you. But have had a bad week this week. Im tired, dh has been a knob, work has been crappy and I've not been as healthy with my meals.

I haven't gained but haven't lost. Which I guess is a positive. Just cross with myself!! I am an emotional eater though.

as an aside has anyone else found that injecting into your tummy doesn't seem to be as effective? I've got a fairly big apron following years of not eating well and being lazy but the jabs doesn't seem to curb my appetite when I inject there. Will be going back to my thigh on Friday!

Help needed.
so I have a syringe 1ml to get last dose out of pen. It’s probably more than a dose. How much is 1ml equivalent to clicks? Still on the first 2.5mg pen.

It's not a dose. Please dont do this.
