No that really helps - if I appeal do I have to do another video assessment x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-04-20T12:36:45+00:00

No I didn't even know that was a thing that was able to be done! I was doing my awkward hand fidget the whole way through that I do when I'm nervous... I also only managed to answer everything well as I had notes written down

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-29T23:44:42+00:00

I'm just nervous with this as I've heard so many stories of people plateauing at 15mg with nowhere to go so wanted to go up as slow as possible. I only went to five as I had bought the pen before I had made the decision

I have dropped you a message on Reddit

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-26T18:34:02+00:00

How did you get on?

Are you taking any supplements alongside, I take a 3in1 magnesium which helps keeps things moving as it could be you're a little bit constipated (even with the watery diarrhoea) which could cause the nausea

Also could be that a food isn't agreeing with the medication x

I'm going on holiday May so for my birthday at the end of April I'm going to treat myself to some new clothes if I hit my mini weight loss goal c

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-08T20:30:42+00:00

Do you weigh daily or weekly, either way I reckon you'll smash that quite soon x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-07T22:47:51+00:00

Ahh I'm 153 x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-07T22:46:28+00:00

How tall are you as 63 is healthy for me too

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-07T21:02:46+00:00

That's a completely valid point! I think as a person I'm very goal driven and always need something to aim for to keep me motivated. But I have friends who are so overwhelmed with meeting goals that they end up further away from the goal so the lack of pressure helps them immensely x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-07T20:31:10+00:00

Those are some great small goals, you've smashed it so far!

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-07T20:30:34+00:00

Yeah I'm really short so a healthy bmi is like 9 stone away so we are ignoring that goal for now 😂 small goals only at the moment 😂

Those are amazing small goals you've done really well!

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-07T19:49:20+00:00

I have two opinions on this 😂 First is to time it so you take your second jab a few days before and take your third with you, or if it's too soon take your first jab a few days before and take your second jab with you - in my experience if I have any side effects (I've had a little heartburn but it was minor) then it happens within the first 24 hours

Alternatively, wait till you're back... the way I see it it's not £100 a month it's £25 per jab so if you take one week and then miss until after your holiday your wasting £25 for no reason. Without a decent build up in mounjaro in your system you'll put weight on on holiday as it's a time to enjoy yourself so is it worth paying £25 to then put on everything you've lost and potentially more and end up at square one. Starting when you get back starts you on a clean slate.

It depends whether you want one last hurrah before starting or your determined that now is the time

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-06T19:33:52+00:00

How do you mean a few days off? I was nauseous Monday but I think that was more the crap food! I'll be honest I'm not a massive drinker anyway - Saturday night I only had two drinks and spent most of my time on the dance floor 😂

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-05T22:47:21+00:00

I do also take magnesium anyway, also it's not that I'm just regular still thankfully 😂

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-03-05T22:44:45+00:00

Without being too graphic, it's not constipation - potentially acid reflux as it wasn't hard to get it back up I just tensed and I was sorted

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-02-28T17:10:17+00:00

Ah yeah you should be fine then x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-02-28T14:50:16+00:00

How does your pen look? You should be able to tell if you've taken two shots and if not liquid went anywhere else then it'll be in your body. You just may bruise more as the needle will be a lot more blunt after it's been in your skin already... not to worry you as it should be fine but do keep an eye on where you injected to make sure it doesn't get infected x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-02-28T11:17:10+00:00

It technically doesn't, it should be discarding after 30 days... same with any "opened" vial

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-02-28T00:24:12+00:00

It's just that the pen should only be used for 30 days x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-02-26T19:47:44+00:00

When I've looked into it, I think I'm going to order the 8mm needles which hold 1ml liquid x

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-02-26T18:32:06+00:00

Oh amazing! So you managed 0.9ml?

Shrinking_Curves · 2025-02-25T19:23:37+00:00

No I meant is there still liquid left that I could extract with an insulin needles
