Hi everyone, checking in, am on day 12 today, am half a stone down (although I had gained a pound this morning). Am finding it effective but have struggled a bit with sickness where I’ve overeaten, have had 3 days out of 12 with sulphur burps and ultimately ended up being sick - although felt much better after being sick. I think I’m still adjusting to the foods that work well as well as the portions so I’m hoping this will ease as obviously vomiting 3 days out of 12 is not sustainable!

@Peridot1 someone kindly sent me a message about virtual slimming clinic who do deliver to ireland!

Now...has anyone got a discount code per chance?!!

Sameiam · 04/04/2023 18:13

felt a bit rough on my last run so upped my protein a lot (literally just had chicken breast and ketchup for lunch) and this time felt much better! I know protein shakes would probably be helpful but I just find them so grim.

rip my digestion though.

Day 2 and like @Adarajames I'm not noticing anything too much I don't think. My tummy has been in a knot most of the day but that could be anxiety

UsernameFail · 04/04/2023 18:30

@Sameiam if you're UK based look at My Protein's Clear Whey Isolate. It's a protein powder you mix with water to make juice. My fav is Orange and Mango

I've been on Ozempic since 25 October 2022, I've lost 35 lb so far. I want to lose another 35 lb. I've found it pretty easy so far, few side effects but nothing compared to overeating. I feel it's giving me my life back as it's easier to move, I don't think about food all the time and just feel generally healthier.

I have a 50% off ozempic at Manual if anyone needs it.

Sadly it doesn’t work for ozempic, only for their other products

BarryKentPoet · 04/04/2023 21:14

Dammit, sorry!

Just to be really clear: the website is called my juniper? Not just juniper?

Yes, that's right. I have a £50 code if you don't have one already.

Hi, I am on week two, taking 0.5 now. feeling very exhausted and hoping the weight will come off! Offering support and looking for community to share stories! Anyone else with tough fatigue?

TakeMeToKernow · 04/04/2023 22:19

Tonight, I put leftover cheese in the bin.

UsernameFail · 04/04/2023 22:23

Congratulations @InSpainTheRain on an epic weight loss! I hope I'm as successful as you.

Ahh congrats!

I made spag bol with brown spaghetti and only dished up slightly less than half my normal portion of spaghetti and did not even finish the portion. My DS today gave me some plastic freezer containers he bought for me for Easter instead of an egg. So I'm portioning up rest of Bolognese into small portions for next week. I always make 2 Bolognese at once one with peppers for DS and one without for me. I did not have any parmesan on Bolognese either. Second injection tomorrow and weigh in.

caringcarer · 05/04/2023 00:20

@mumwhereistheribena, thank you. I will get some.

MiniCooperLover · 05/04/2023 05:20

Am on holiday at the minute, am finding I have a good sized breakfast, smaller lunch and even smaller dinner. Drinks but no snacks or puddings. Seems ok but am drinking a lot of water from the heat anyway so thankfully toilet issues seem ok so far.

mumwheresmyribena · 05/04/2023 07:09

@BasoonerOrLater I've found every single protein shake I've tried, and I've tried a lot, far too sweet and cloying and some are chalky too just to make them extra unpalatable.
But you can make your own protein shakes with greek yoghurt, any kind of milk (I like coconut or almond), some nut or seed butter (tahini is my favourite), some berries or a banana, some chia seeds and even a little unflavoured & unsweetened protein powder.

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 05/04/2023 07:17

Vegan protein shakes are far more palatable too, much smoother I have found,

Both my favourite milkshake style and clear style are actually vegan - even though I am far from it. 😂

Brunilde · 05/04/2023 08:14

Hi everyone I have just ordered. Very excited to start after struggling to lose weight for years.

Can I ask those that did have side effects how long after the first injection were they worst? I'm trying to time it with when I'm off work.

loverofpants · 05/04/2023 10:30

Hi all! Can I join? I am starting Mounjaro today rather than Ozempic but I think side effects etc are similar.

I would love to lose 30kg but would be happy with half of that as an interim target.

TimeWaitsForNoWoman · 05/04/2023 11:08

Is anyone here on ADHD medication? I'm currently on 20mg of Elvanse (in the titration period so this should increase) and thinking of starting Ozempic, wondered if anyone had any experience with this? I know there's a huge crossover with binge eating, in fact it's one of the main symptoms of my ADHD.

TheGoodEnoughWife · 05/04/2023 12:18

Great thread, can I join please? Have ordered and been approved from Manual. Was hoping pen would be dispatched today but no email yet. Hoping to start Friday evening. Have a BMI of around 37 and need to lose around six stone. In for the long haul!

UsernameFail · 05/04/2023 12:34

Welcome @TheGoodEnoughWife
I started on Monday after letting the pen sit in the fridge for a few days whilst I plucked up the courage.

I'd come on to say that I've noticed last night and today that I'm satisfied after eating. This is a whole new experience for me and if this is what semaglutide does it's the game changer for food obsessed people like me
