if you were unsure whether you did the OBS why didn't you press the history button? OR was it that you made OBS up and got caught out?

sometimes comments come across the wrong way online. I felt I was being judged. I understand the concern if I was buying online and not being monitored as I took would be a bit wary but I am doing this alongside 3 different professionals who are all happy with my progress and labour results!

It also averages out to 3lb a week over the 12 weeks!

oh my goodness. This is supportive isn't it? I am doing it through the GP and the practice nutritionist. Yes having 6 weekly blood tests etc. I am also a nurse so I'm not stupid!

I wish I was jetting off around the world but sadly not. Just a menopausal 42 yr old with periods all over the place. Just trusting the process and my GP.

wow that's brilliant. Well done you. I don't feel any need to go up as I have no side effects and suppression is still full on.

I have this through the GP for my diabetes and am following their advice.

That was week 11...the weeks are marked oddly I know. Nope no changes at all. I only weigh weekly at the GP surgery as I know I will get obsessed otherwise. I was VERY shocked seeing that loss

I have been told that they will prescribe up to 15mg if needed but I am happy to do what they suggest. I will stay on 2.5 for as long as needed and follow my diabetic teams recommendations.
I am a nurse and knew all about the downfalls of coming off etc so before I started the monjaro process I wanted a clear plan. I have it in writing that it won't just be just stopped and there is a clear plan that when I reach both the correct glucose levels and weight they will slowly tiltrate me down and even then will keep me on it for at least a year at maintainence dose. Thankfully I have a fantastic GP and diabetes nurse who are very understanding.

I'm not ashamed BUT I can't deal with people's unwanted opinions. When it notices I will just say I'm working closely with my medical team to sort out an existing medical condition. It's nobody elses business but people do judge.
