I kind of wish I hadn’t told someone about my WLI

[simsbustinoutmimi]

Stupidly told my neighbour at the start of my journey I was on WLI now. It came up in conversation because she was asking how I was. I am very obese that’s why I started them. I explained I was very sick. I had a bad reaction to the jabs on the lowest dose and threw up over and over and it wouldn’t stop. I lost a stone in a week.

I am now micro dosing on 1/3 of the lowest dose trying to work my way up, but I’m not losing at all and still hungry. Due my third dose tomorrow and going up to a half dose.

my doctor has told me to stop if I’m being sick but I am trying to carry on because I know I have to lose this weight. Can’t take anti sickness meds for other medical reasons.

anyway my main question is she keeps asking how I am doing with the jabs and I’m embarrassed to say I might have to stop and she didn’t say I needed to lose weight but I could tell she’s impressed I’ve taken a step to use them. I know it sounds mental but I’m scared to stop because I think it will disappoint her.

also micro dosing means I have loads left over, med express is nagging me to order more but I plan to use it past the 30 day expiry

Sorry you have been poorly. My first week was horrible but it passed. I ate very plain food and made sure I drank enough. It's just your body getting used to it.

After my second one I was much better if it reassures you.

You don't have to explain anything to your neighbour. I'd just breezily say you're still plodding on and feeling great. Nothing else is their business.

Can't comment on micro dosing or using it over 30 days as I've stuck to the usual dose and am still on the lowest 17 weeks on.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, I hopefully can build up to a larger dose, I am just very cautious.

You just say ‘fine, thanks’. And then change the subject. You don’t owe her an explanation.

I had the worst SE at the lowest dose. My understanding is that 2.5 month is for the body to learn to tolerate SE and it is not really clinically effective for WL.

I went up a dose each month - and now on week 15 I am on 10mg and have lost 15kg in total. I would describe my SE as "mild and transient" - ie only SE in the first few weeks - my body now tolerates it.

Take it easy - we are all different.

Everyone has an opinion on WLI - my skinny friend told me she tried to get it!!

It’s definitely effective for many people at 2.5mg. I have lost 6 stone at that dose and there are countless posts from others who are staying with 2.5mg. Some people take even less and find it effective.

i am twenty stone however vomited so much on MJ I was hospitalised
