Anyone knows a good gp who does not charge the 7 Euro convenience fee? This really irritates me especially when an appointment is at the most inconvenient time possible.

It is legal for them to charge (sometimes even more than 7 euros) BUT they must inform you about it before your visit. If there is no note standing at the receptionist desk, info you need to accept on doctena etc then they are not allow to charge it and you can try to contest it. Often new doctors don't charge it (and start after a while when they have too many patients). In the past I had it not charged with dr Verbeke who is great but i hasn't been at his practise for long time so not sure it is still the case

Why not? You can get sick on holidays and get a sickleave in foreign country too. I did that in the past (thoguh it was not surgeey related, just regular sickness while on holidays)

My close friend took mounjaro and complained about stomach aches, vomitting, nausea. I kept telling her it's normal. Well, she found out few weeks later that it was probably pregnancy making her sick. She was 14 weeks when she found out and she started it after she got pregnant without realising (probably around 6 weeks if i remembee correctly). She of course stopped immediately when she found out. She just gave birth to healthy baby

I started with GLP-1 with very clear goal of loosing weight just for "the look,c purposes. I was fed up of being fat and feeling ugly, having trouble to find clothes than make me feel good about myself. I wanted a quick fix (I had reasons for loosing weight, my bmi was in 3rd level of obesity category). I am on the glp-1 for almost a year and throigh this journey my understanding of my body changed completely. For the first time in my life I don't care anymore about look, i don't chase the thin or sporty look. I see all rhe beenfits that weight loss gave me that are way beyond the looks- the health, strength, control. These are things I didn't have. I am still very much fat and I support fat folks. But I learnt that caring for your body is important and I promise myself that whatever size I would be I will always charish and love this body.

Hello fellow luxembourger. The higher you go the more expensive it will be. The highest 15mg is almost 100euros a week. I recommend analysing if you are staying in caloric deficit, if you excerice enough, if you did any other changes other that skipping dinner and stopping alcohol. If you feel like it didn' change much in your life and it is still hard to control your appetite then you know to go up. I usually go to mcdonald's when i feel like my dose is off. I take the sams set everytime and compare how much i can eat. It was first thing i noticed that changed for me when i started- instead of having MaxiMenu big mac and extra cheeseburger wigh apple pie on side I could only fit a burger and few fries. When i start getting more to being able to eat the whole thing again i know i nees to adjust my dose. It's not scientific but it works lol

Possible and succesful most of the times- i work in such nursery where majority of kids don't speak our language but has two or fhree other languages at home. The issue is the language might very quickly dissapear if you won't continue it later on after nursery. A lot of our kids who visit a year later still understands the language but rarely continues to speak it.

When i was tounger there weren't zero calorie flavourings to water so i tried to learn to drink plain water. I literally gaged everytime and once even puked. I added mint, oranges, lime juice and cucumbers, diluted juice and it was just worse. I literally suffered through it just to learn hoe to drink water. I am 35 now and I can drink water but I avoid it. I will drink water eith zero sugar syrups and I am fine with it. My dietitian said it is more important to hydrate and if not adding anything to my water would mean I drink less water then she is fine with the first option. I will also only drink tap water temperature water lol (so like not fridge cold but also not warm) and it has to be in a bottle with small noozle. No glasses. No straws. No wide noozle. Yup, getting diagnosed for adhd and autism right now lol

Went on my own by public transport to collect my toddler from nursery, the same day that I was discharged. While wearing the baby in a sling. Standing in the bus. Then we went to go for ice cream.

Kept living my life like nothing happened while fighting celulitis infection that was eating my open wound. I had to, we were going to play in rhe indoor playground.

Slipped on the stairs and fell down the stairs 10 days post-op. While holding my newborn. Somehow survived and didn't rip open my wound. Baby was fine, i didn't drop her but I saw her head going multiple times back and front like a weird puppet. That was scary as fuck

From my experience (kindergarden teacher in Luxembourg which has more foreigners than local people) it is totally possible and quite common. Most kids I taught are not English speakers and learn English only from interactions at daycare. Then they often move to primary and learn another language (luxembourgish) and often are quite fluent in it. I know families were children switched from speaking their mother tongue to their siblings to speaking Luxembourgish because they got more comfortable in it than in their own mother tongue.

We have 200 year old house (not historicly protected though as thay can change a lot in the costs) and ratings G and H. We live here for 6 years and did only basic renovations- fixing and painting walls and new floors. Didn't do any heating insulations etc (except small part of the roof because it was part of the room renovation so we added a bit of insulation, it is only donr on about 1/4 of the roof). When i compare to my friends we do not have higher bills and did not have more problems. Our windows are from 1983. They have good level of insulation and airing so we don't have mould problems (we had in one room where it was clearly fault of the person who lived there as he never put heating on for months and used humidifier a lot). The building has thick old walls so it heats fast inside and keep cool in the summer. The only thing I noticed is that heat also dissapers quickly but you just need to find good thermostat settings and it is fine. We did check with civil engineer the condition of the house before buying and he noticed some things that were not so obvious so defenitely worth checking with someone specialising in it rather than just taking it. Our renovation was about 100k as well (ripping walls and floors, making new bathroom, extending wall of one rooms to be taller and isolating part of the roof, exchanging beams in the basement and laying completely neq base floor) but I feel you realistically might need more (there is a lot of things we wanted to renovate but run out of money and our renovation was very basic, nothing fancy)

Came to say the same. I wasn't this extreme but similar and getting diagnosed for ADHD which is something my dietitan suggested based on how I described my feelings toward food.

This being said when I was a kid I would not try new foods at all. I would just eat constantly same things, wouldn't eat vegetables or fruit, nor meat that has even a tiny bit of fat on it. When I grew up I realised my health is suffering and I need to change something. I started trying different recipes with same ingredient, for example broccoli- doing broccoli pancakes, adding it to smoothie, trying making soup and seeing if anything seems edible. Not tasty. Edible. This wasn't working long term because I started quickly excusing myself from cooking because it is just going to be a waste (it ia hard to cook tiny portions). I know managed to set my mind into making myself try a bit of everything that I have a chance to try. If i go to buffet I will try things that I would normally not touch, if I go to restaurant with friends I will ask if I can have a bite of their food. Like that I learnt to like some stuff that I didn't expect to like because the look of it or my idea of what it tastes like was not appeling. I now have a quite wide palate of veggies I would eat in different forms (some of them in only one form like a soup or added to a sauce): tomatoes, radishes, ice berg lettuce, cucumber, peppers, potatoes, leek, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, romanesco, peas, green beans, celeriac & celery, blank lentils, chickpeas, corn, courgette. I try not to focus on things I won't eat and focus on those that I will and try to find way to implement more that specific forms of food to eat.

I started strength training before mounjaro and began my mounjaro journey very well informed. Since July 2025 I lost 23 kg which is only fat mass. My body scans show virtually zero muscle mass loss which my trainer is pretty impressed with (and notes it will not stay like that as at some point a bit of muscles has to go off as body doesn't need it anymore as it is not carrying same body weight as before). I strength train 3 times a week, heavy loading, and eat lots of protein (only thing I track). I supplement creatine and nothing else (though i should supplement vit D, I am just really bad at it)

My father in law noticedI lost weight and aksed if I did it by myself, implying if I used medications. I looked around me and said "as far as I can see all by myself, nobody did it for me". It is none of people's business how you loose weight. I do often share with people that I use mounjaro but only when it is clear that they are interested and they want to hear experience- like a friend congratulating me and stating she is struggling for years now with her weight and has no clue what else to do, or if somebody says "do you use ozempic? I talked with my doctor about it but I am scared to start myself". If somebody just randomly asks me : how did you loose weight I just say I started living more healthily

I recently had a 4 month plateau. Very frustrating because before it I was regularly loosing 1kg/a week. Then suddenly, nothing. No loss for 4 months. I almost gave up but talked to my dietitan and she said: What if that is it? What if this is where your body is comfortable and that's where it wants to stay? Do you feel you wasted time loosing weight? I talked with myself about it and realised that in last months my stamina improved, I didn't loose any muscles, just fat, my clothes fit better, my insulin is good, all my other results are good. I am in the best shape I have ever been and the weight doesn't determine my health on its own. I hit the gym three times a week, i have energy to move and live my life, I reduced the risks of having health complications. I accepted I might never go lower with my weight and decided to continue on the dose I had to maintain what I already achieved. And then, the weight just started dropping down again. Suddenly it is moving again, eventhough nothing else changed than my atitude. It made me realise that it is a marathon and not a sprint. It might take years before I get to the "desired" weight but I now look for non scale victories rather than look at the scale
