My first jabs arrived today. Thinking of starting Wednesday which is technically end of April but wanted to start a new group for anyone starting soon!

Nervous but kind of excited for good results. Watched a YouTube video instruction for the pen before, I might get my husband to do it for me!!

Anyone want to join me and share / support each other??

I’ve been eating a lot of hard boiled eggs to help with the protein. Although sometimes I’ll just have 2 for lunch with a bit of salad but find it hard to finish the second one. I’m also having protein shake most days. The ready made ones rather than making my own. Lidl do some which are 35g.

I've seen these. Do you know how much sugar they have, I'm trying to keep my sugar down?

I'm on day 5 and appetite has started coming back.

Also my sleep has been appalling the whole 5 days.

NettleTea · Yesterday 18:42

my sleep has been rubbish this week - its a pain, its hard to know if its my CPAP, my traditional awful sleep, or the MJ.

and Im waking up at about 6-6.30 every day

@MrsO2b those Lidl shakes are about 5% sugar. So around 16g sugar per bottle. Not great, but I’m already watching calories, protein and am intermittent fasting too so I’m not worried about tracking my sugar. Yet!

I’m still suffering with side effects 4 days in. Head ache this evening but had dizziness at around 3 o clock whilst at Pyshio I’ve come home and laid down all evening. I do t mind continuing with the nausea but the dizzy head is driving me nuts. I’m hydrated and had some lucozade incase I needed sugar but nothing. I’ve asked the doctor if they can give me anything for it it feels like vertigo xx

Please can you share any good, easy sources of protein. I’m struggling for ideas and have stopped getting to 100 per day, certainly not 112 which is the ideal amount.

eggs
chicken
meat
greek yoghurt!

Hey Twin! I’m doing ok… although week 3 side effects have been a bit more manic than previous weeks. Let’s just say my toileting has gone completely the other way 🥴 I’ve just ordered my second pen and decided to stay at 2.5mg. I’m getting good suppression and side effects as “manageable” - not sure I fancy 5mg side effects just now hahaha.

Without our stats being identical, it’s interesting for me to see that you’ve picked 10 stone as your goal weight. I hadn’t given it much thought… I thought 11 might be fine, but at the top end of “healthy” To be honest, I’ve not been close to 10 in a long time so not sure how that would look 👀

How are you getting on? ☺️

Sorry for disappearing.

I am doing ok. My jab day is Saturday and I feel hungrier Thursday and Friday and have to use willpower to stick with it. I am now down to 12 stone 3lbs.

I need to reorder this week so will be moving up to 5mg.
