I have a feeling my journey has to end

I have been on mj since March, I have managed to lose three stone, 20kg which I'm so over the moon with

I have an under active thyroid and I am coeliac (only diagnosed late last year) so loosing weight was always a challenge for me

After reaching for the pepto bismol, I realised I have had this bottle open for 4 days due to non stop sickness
I don't want to directly blame mj for anyone that is due to start but there are 6 other people in my household so its not a bug, I don't currently work so I haven't mixed with anyone outside of my house

But I can't go on like this, I have thrown up everything I've ate or drank in the last four days, I'm starving and thirsty

Going to contact my provider but I fear they will say to stop the treatment. The only other thing I can think of is changing my injection site as I've always used my belly

Any other advice please?

I hope you’re starting to feel better. I had a similar experience, absolutely fine until I increased the dose to 10mg. I was vomiting undigested food and having constant diarrhoea for a couple of weeks. Tried to restart on a reduced dose of 7.5mg after a break and it started again.
After another break I restarted on 2.5ish and have stayed on this while I use up the one and a half pens I have in the fridge. No further side effects and I have slowly lost a further 6kg and am at my goal weight. I cancelled my Voy subscription when I was so sick, and still have moments of panic as I know I am unlikely to get on a maintenance plan anywhere as I have no prescribing history since March. I’m hoping that my habits are ingrained and that the 2.5mg I’m taking now every 7-10 days is purely placebo! Good luck!

This is the website where you can input your doses and see how the drug levels increase in your body:

Yeah that does make perfect sense and I am back to being able to eat
I've got a nice fat burger for my lunch for those worrying I'm starving myself
Had plenty of water too

I love a nice fat burger as much as the next person but if I may, I don’t think it is a great choice after four days of non-stop sickness 🤷‍♀️… Maybe something plainer at first?

Blimey. This!

Maybe an omelette?

I hope the burger stayed down!
