Got mine on preorder…. I’m excited and a little apprehensive… have two stone to lose.

After my first week on 1.5mgs I have gained half a pound. I know I am being impatient but I admit that I am really disappointed. I've made good food choices and stuck with under 1200 calories but I think I may be one of those that is going to need a higher dose in order to get any appetite suppression at all as I haven't noticed any difference in my appetite. I do have an underactive thyroid for which I take levothyroxine so I guess that won't be helping.

Day 11 here. I have lost 5lbs in total so far and have had a week away for work where I didn’t gain. Am frustrated though as am sitting on the 12 stone mark and am desperate to go under it!

Feeling really good: no side effects at all other than wanted ones. I am able to make really rational choices about what I eat, am eating v healthy high fibre (!) food, drinking lots of water, walking and running, and my energy levels are up generally. Struggling a bit with protein intake and getting enough but working on it.

when I got back last night I needed to find a new sheet of pills and having been away for 5 days couldn’t find them. Was home at midnight ransacking the sleeping household terrified one of my daughters had found them and decided to take them (she has an ED) and was panicking for a verity of reasons (haven’t told anyone so layers of stuff). I was so relieved when I did find them! Phew!

8 days in and down 1kg which I am happy with. Don't feel I really ate much differently but it's doing something so no hardship there. Symptoms ok, occasional feeling a bit of nausea but tiny really.
I seem to be forgetting about food after my evening meal which is good not thinking about the next nibble or snack.

Roundisashape · 18/07/2026 11:48

I'm a bit confused what to make of it all really. I'm 3lbs down after first 10 days. Large chunks of the day I don't think about food at all. But now more than ever I do not want to eat healthy salads etc, I want mostly chocolate and comfort food when I'm hungry. In fact I made better food choices before the tablets but lost no weight at all.
I'm on holiday mid august, I need to decide whether to stay on the 1.5 or switch to the 4. Problem is the switch would occur 4 days before I fly. I certainly don't want to be feeling sick on hols. But then again, I only had 1 day of feeling sick on the 1.5 so maybe I'd tolerate it 🤔

ilovebagpuss · 18/07/2026 12:44

@Roundisashape you could go up to 4 and if you feel dodgy snap it in half for your holiday duration.

Roundisashape · 18/07/2026 13:05

@ilovebagpuss - that's an idea. Tablets are so tiny though I wonder if it's feasible.

chalkyc2 · 18/07/2026 15:19

Checking back in….after 8 days I’ve lost 2.5kg. Which is not particularly real I don’t think and just is water weight from the first week but a relief nonetheless. I feel fine and just feel generally less hungry and mostly quite put off by food. But I also have an ear infection so maybe that’s adding to it!

it’s quite nice not to constantly feel starving.

LittleGreenDragons · 18/07/2026 16:40

I'm still loitering as I'll need a GP to say yay/nay before starting but it's been very worrying to see a few posters saying their sweet tooth has been activated. That's the bit I'm having trouble with! 😱

chalkyc2 · 18/07/2026 18:14

Mine has been deactivated @LittleGreenDragons - there’s cookies in the fridge and I don’t care for them at all even though I’ve given myself permission to have one as it’s the weekend. So who knows!?!

@Roundisashape I didn’t notice any difference when I went from 1.5mg to 4mg.

FloatOn · 20/07/2026 18:26

Hi everyone, I was off on holiday last week so decided to wait until I was back before starting, on day 5 now, they definitely seem to have currbed my appetite , and I am feeling fuller quicker, thought in this weather I have been drinking quite a bit of cider/white wine (insert any long tall refreshing drink!)

Going to wait to Friday to weight myself, fingers crossed!

ilovebagpuss · 20/07/2026 19:34

Day 10 ish? Not really fancied much today, I have eaten but I struggled to decide what I wanted. Didn't really want what we had planned for dinner so just had a few fries.

user1468915974 · 20/07/2026 21:53

Day 3
No side effects other than getting very tired in the evening.

Piece of toast for breakfast but couldn't finish it.
No lunch
Jacket potato and beans for tea

Definitely feeling very full quite soon into my meals.
Also, not able to finish my usual after work glass of wine.
Its really making me think about things in a different way.

Chickadeeinme · 20/07/2026 22:01

I highly recommend zero-calorie squash such as Robinsons in this hot weather. Calories are too valuable to waste on a drink!

Florabella · 21/07/2026 06:16

Feeling pretty fed up at the moment. Apart from one day (which was probably just placebo) my appetite hasn’t decreased at all. I have still been trying with will power, but I may as well be having paracetamol every morning. Fingers crossed the 4mg works better next month

I came here to write exactly this!

roll on next month.

I’m on about day 12 I think. I feel awful. My tummy is in bits and I’ve barely got off the toilet today :( Couldn’t face the tablet this morning. I’m not sure it’s down to that but I do feel pretty awful. I’m 5lb down though so that’s one silver lining

How have you been up until today? Any tummy issues from the start or just now?
Im on day 3 and seem ok so far but tummy trouble is my worst fear

Jakadaal · 21/07/2026 12:47

I’m on Day 11 and lost 2.5lbs after 1 week. Main side effect is acid reflux which I already suffer from and am on medication from the GP for it. Gaviscon is definitely helping. Appetite suppressant is increasing and I’m down to about 2
meals a day. I’m trying to eat mindfully and The acid reflux after biscuits and chocolate is telling me to avoid them! I’m going to try and eat smaller meals more frequently to help the reflux. My main bonus is that the food noise has disappeared

I’ve actually been fine up until today. I was up in the night though and then all day not felt the best, no sickness, just the feeling of. I had quite a big portion for dinner last night … wondering if it’s linked? Maybe I overdid it. Barely eaten a thing all day though despite not being able to face the tablet this morning

Fishhooksandjellybabies · 21/07/2026 23:21

@Florabella and @OntheTrainX me too. Solidarity sisters. Also hoping the 4mgs will help with suppression of which so far I have had none. I am obviously trying willpower but fighting a losing battle as I'm always hungry. Making sure to keep hydrated by drinking lots of water and being mindful of keeping protein as high as I can. Still no weight loss though.

Roundisashape · 22/07/2026 07:44

I lost 4lbs in the first 4 days and now 14 days in have put 2lbs back on. I literally have no desire to eat anything that's good for me and have no appetite suppression. Though did overeat the other day and regretted it. I used to eat well and balanced but never lost weight - now I'm taking tablets to support smaller portions and am eating worse than ever in the same quantities 🙄. The AI of the provider advised it is sometimes an adjustment period.
But I've gone from feeling super positive to significantly what's the point.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 22/07/2026 08:45

Hello all
i haven’t taken the tablets since last Thursday- I had a virus which made me sick so I couldn’t face taking it.
Ive lost weight because of the virus, - need a little reset now to see how things are.
same as @Roundisashape i just didn’t want to eat anything healthy or even ‘normal’ whilst on the tablets- just didn’t want eg halloumi and salad wrap - I only wanted chocolate!

gratefulmezze · 22/07/2026 09:06

I'm two weeks in, I feel amazing. No side effects great food suppression but I can eat normal meals. I had some alcohol at a bbq and felt very nauseous that evening, I am going to avoid alcohol from now on.
