Why don't you want them to contact your GP?

I am with Click2Pharmacy. They are £138 for 5mg. They send you a letter for your GP but it's up to you if you give it to them

I’m with Asda and they told my GP. I would be really wary about a provider that didn’t tbh.

I dont have one .
I have 3 GP practices in my area …have basically fallen out with all of them or the receptionists.
Been given wrong medication, wrong diagnosis and wrong blood test results at all 3 at various times .
When i complained…was told not to go back .
Given wrong blood test results , complained very politely and was told i had upset the doctor..dont come back
Last one told me i had impetigo when i could barely walk and had a painful rash all down one leg….it was shingles .
complained …told not to go back
I have no trust in them anyway anymore

that's a good price!

baggybags · 23/06/2025 17:20

I'm with Juniper currently, think it was optional to inform the GP.

Oh maybe Click2 did tell them then. I assumed the attachment was for me to hand in but maybe it was just a copy for my information

Sideorderofchips · 23/06/2025 17:43

I'm using simple pharmacy for mine as had good reviews

So after last week's adventures with diahhorea....I'm constipated and haven't shit since.

Sp dulcolax has been taken. I expect to suffer later

GiddyAmberQuail · 23/06/2025 17:51

I recommend califig for constipation, natural syrup of figs, bit pricey, but doesn't draw water into your bowels, which can cause dehydration, unlike laxatives

Spinningplates22 · 23/06/2025 18:34

Week 4 weigh in for me!
SW 12 stone 8
CW 11 stone 9 !!!!!

GW 10stone 5

i have started upping my walking, and making a conscious effort to hit 10k steps. Later this week I plan to start Caroline Girvan workouts.

im kinda shocked at how much I have lost. Really felt it in today’s clothes.

I have stayed on the 2.5 for the next 4 weeks about to do my wk5 jab. Good luck everyone

Catladyof7 · 23/06/2025 16:08

Does everyone stick to the same supplier ?
There seems to be a big increase in price from 2.5mg to 5mg.
I went with Voy as i havent got a doctor at all and cant get one as i am out of area…long story !
But its £199 for the 5mg pen which is a lot out my pension .
Thanks

I’ve just ordered my second pen from zava. But they do bundles. So I bought a bundle of three 5mg pens for £367 with a code to save £20 from monj.co.uk - which is £122 per month. I used PayPal pay in 3 so I’m still paying monthly not the whole lot in one go. If you are using Zava for the first time you’ll save even more - there’s a code for new customers on monj.co.uk. There are other bundles too!

Wow that’s amazing @Spinningplates22!

Catladyof7 · 23/06/2025 20:31

This is day one really as took my first injection at 6pm last night .
Had two beef rolls yesterday and some strawberries.
Tonight i had some of the pasta bake i had in.
I am sure i didnt eat as much as usual.
Thats all i have had today though .
I made it and put the rest in a 800ml ice cream container and i have had just under half.
That was enough .
I may have some strawberries later on as they need eating .
Trying to just eat less .
I usually only have one meal a day anyway .
its been the crisps and salted nuts at night and chocolate and sweets.
I was having cake in the afternoon and milky coffee .
No cake or anything sweet today .

I used IQ doctor - chose it off of monj.co.uk , was less than £100 for 2.5, there is a discount for 1st orders.

looking at changing for second to find a cheaper deal! Chemist4u coming up good at £99 for 2.5 or 5

lilacbreeze · 23/06/2025 21:11

starting on Thursday 11 stone to lose

Crinklecat · 23/06/2025 21:31

Do you need a discount code for chemist4you?

RussianDoll76 · 23/06/2025 21:35

Day 2 for me and not sure if anything is happening. Expected to feel some suppression but not sure I have it . I’ve eaten less but not struggled to eat. 🤔 have drunk almost 4 litres today and don’t feel uncomfortably full.

Did you feel sick? I’m starting tomorrow and worried about sickness lol

lilacbreeze · 23/06/2025 21:43

Should I be dieting the day before? Was going to have a blow out takeaway a last supper if you will

I’m about to start my fifth week and still feel normal. I can eat as much as I want in my meals, it seems, but I don’t seem to crave things inbetween meals. I’ve been eating very healthy meals and have cut out sugar. I’ve lost a stone in a month and had absolutely no side effects. I took 4mg last week and still have no fullness. I’m hoping it stays the same. It’s helping me but I’m liking that I can eat enough. I think it’s a good balance.
