I was going to start today and got nervous! I’m 5ft 7 and 116kg.
Have you bought any specific food such as extra protein? I feel as if I’m not prepared for the meals I’ll be having!

jumpingbump · 04/10/2025 22:28

I am going to try and eat as clean as possible. Just injected dose x

Ive mentioned it to a few people as I have a habit of over sharing!
How are you feeling? What are you planning to eat tomorrow? I’m veggie so am concerned about getting enough protein.

jumpingbump · 04/10/2025 22:46

My plan is protein shake for breakfast then either lunch or dinner depending on work.
My main meal will be a normal family meal - spaghetti bol, chicken and rice but lots of water xx

Hi, I’ll join too!! I did start a thread last week but didn’t really get much response 😁 Did my first injection on Tuesday evening, all good so far 😁. My DH is doing this as well, but we’ve not told anyone we know IRL.
We were going to weigh on Wednesday morning, but DH decided to weigh himself yesterday and he’s lost 6LB! He’s had some mild side effects, like acid heartburn, but I have been fine.
I’d say the appetite suppression is there, but fairly mild at the moment. The main thing we have experienced is how full we feel for a while after eating.

I’m using nutracheck to track food intake alongside the injections, so that I can look back and see what I need to do when I need to maintain.

Food wise, I do all the cooking and meal planning, so I have been focussing on clean healthy food. Will try to write up some examples later if anyone would be interested?

jumpingbump · 05/10/2025 12:25

Would definitely be interested in ideas. I am hoping this is going to change my mindset when it comes to cooking.

Hi how's everyone getting on?
I'm away for a few days. Had a headache yesterday which has gone today. Had breakfast this morning and feel so full, it's like I've eaten a banquet!

jumpingbump · 06/10/2025 11:30

I feel a bit heavy but trying to drink lots of water. Had a protein shake for breakfast

MrsCillian · 06/10/2025 11:46

When is your weigh in day? Have you had any side effects so far?

jumpingbump · 07/10/2025 12:13

I weigh in every day as its habit but its becoming disheartening as not seeing anything.

OP posts:
jumpingbump · 07/10/2025 22:15

How is everyone doing? X

OP posts:
MrsCillian · 07/10/2025 22:46

I'm doing ok. Been constipated but went today. Bought some laxatives earlier but didn't need to take them! Feeling better now.

I've been away the last few days so don't know if I've lost/gained/stayed the same. I've definitely eaten less than I usually would on a weekend away. No snacking and not struggling to resist every cake shop I've passed. If I've maintained when I get home on Thurs that will be a big win as I usually gain when I go away.

How about you?

ClaudiaWinkle · 08/10/2025 00:20

Took the plunge yesterday (Tuesday) and did my first jab. No side effects yet but no suppression but I only jabbed about 8 hours ago!

jumpingbump · 08/10/2025 10:17

Ive ordered some fybogel sachets as I feel that I am holding on to things
Other than that no side effects. I am not snacking

Morning, got weighed and I'm 3 lbs down since Sunday. Absolutely buzzing! Anyone else had any losses?

MrsCillian · 09/10/2025 07:10

@ClaudiaWinkle how are you feeling since your jab on Tue?

That’s bloody brilliant!!

@ClaudiaWinkle how are you feeling since your jab on Tue?

No notable suppression yet. In fact I got home feeling starving so ate badly (pkt of crisps and some biscuits) and then felt nauseous. Today I need to plan my meals and drink more water!

jumpingbump · 09/10/2025 09:41

3lbs is amazing!!! Well done. I am really backed up and dont feel have lost anything which is worrying me. I am not snacking though so thats good

OP posts:
MrsCillian · 09/10/2025 10:38

@jumpingbump hopefully when you've been to the toilet you will feel lighter. If you're not snacking that will have reduced your calories.

Thanks @ClaudiaWinkle . I didn't feel suppression as such the first few days but felt uncomfortably full after meals.
