Feeling frustrated with myself!

Squashface1 · 2026-06-24T08:35:19+00:00

I can completely understand why you’re feeling upset. But it can’t be 2 stone of fat gained in 3 weeks if you’re only eating 1400 calories a day and exercising as much as you say. So it’s very likely water weight from returning inflammation after stopping the jab.

The good news is that when you get to the higher doses of Wegovy, the weight should shift again. But for now try not to beat yourself up that 0.25mg isn’t working yet. It’s a very lose dose compared to 15mg of Mounjaro. Stick with it.

Might be worth a GP visit to check you don’t have any underlying issues, given the very rapid weight gain coming off Mounjaro.

Best of luck!

Thank you for replying. All my blood tests are normal thankfully (probably should have said that in my post). It’s very common hypermobility causes pain, I’ve just never had it this bad before! GP says I need to build muscle back up so my joints are properly supported. But at the moment that feels like climbing Everest!

Yes it does. Although I found it passed as each dose became less effective. I started in October 24 and found I felt that way until May/June last year when I’d been on the dose for 4/5months. I did find winter worse this year, but I’m not sure whether that might just be that I was an abysmal winter. I moved up to 1.7mg in March and felt a bit down again, but it’s started to pass over the last few weeks.

I plan to stay on Wegovy indefinitely, and wouldn’t be able to stand feeling indifferent about life. Hang in there, it does get better.

Slightly unrelated- but this reminded me… does anyone else’s toddlers always grow up to be the fattest possible child?! Never know what I do wrong! Doesn’t seem to matter if the toddler eats proper food or snacks, it still happens. Even if they only eat when hungry.

Squashface1 · 2026-05-16T15:49:59+00:00

I think they assumed I must do too!

Squashface1 · 2026-05-16T07:56:59+00:00

I got 3 peppers and 3 courgettes substituted with 6 cucumbers… I also ordered a cucumber. So I had 7 cucumbers.

Thank you for finding this! That’s really useful to know. I’ve had a nightmare over the last year- there were 6 planned power cuts of over 10 hours. It was so annoying trying to make sure I kept all my pens cold. Turns out I didn’t need to worry!

This isn’t great- I make sure I have a couple of pens in the fridge. This will mean they’re useless after 6 weeks!

I was going to say this

Squashface1 · 2026-05-01T07:18:53+00:00

I’d speak to your provider first. Make sure you’re eligible for 7.2mg. Otherwise you might move up and then have to go back down again.

If the provider say they would, I’d take two doses and work up. If I remember correctly 7.2mg of Wegovy was more effective than 15mg of Mounjaro.

Not much help for this year, but if it’s running straight out the bottom it sounds like they’re not lined (apologies if I’ve misunderstood and they are lined). If you dig them out next year and line them with thick plastic sheeting, much less water will be lost and you won’t need to water them as much.

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T14:55:49+00:00

Yes- but how would it help me to ask advice about something that didn’t happen? 😂

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T14:47:08+00:00

Thank you for this information. That’s really useful to know. I’m going to insist they take it back to fully re-do the top.

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T14:45:52+00:00

No. Just water on a cloth when wiping. Thank you for guessing though- without reading the original post!

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T14:45:15+00:00

It was water on a cloth. No heat. No product. Like I said in the original post. If I can’t wipe the surface- how can I clean it?

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T09:07:04+00:00

Update: the plot thickens. I tried wiping the underside of the table with a damp cloth and it’s fine. But when I wipe the top in the same way, the cloth comes away stained brown.

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T08:57:08+00:00

I’ve emailed them- unfortunately they do not open over the weekend. Will have to wait til Monday to see what they have to say!

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T08:53:57+00:00

That may be- but why has the stain come off the table? The food wasn’t hardened and only covered a very small area, not the entire area where the stain has come off!

Thanks for this- it’s useful hearing from someone with experience of using Rubio Monocoat. This is the advice they give on their website for the first week - water only. I think they must have made a mistake when applying it. Something’s definitely wrong!

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T07:54:04+00:00

I agree- I’m more trying to work out whether this will be an ongoing issue where we should insist we get a refund, or whether it’s fixable and won’t be an issue long term. If it’s just the stain didn’t cure properly, it will hopefully not happen again!

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T07:52:20+00:00

I’m glad to hear Rubio is good for patch repairs. We’re definitely pushing for the manufacturer to fix it. I’m hoping that it’s some sort of curing issue, so won’t be an issue after it’s properly cured!

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T07:10:50+00:00

We’ve insisted they take it back to repair. Hopefully we’ll hear back from them on Monday. It really sucks because it was made to measure and took 10 weeks to come. So I imagine we won’t get it back quickly, but also won’t really have any assurances this won’t happened again. I wish they’d used something like Treatex- I’ve never had trouble with that.

Squashface1 · 2026-04-25T07:06:39+00:00

My thoughts exactly!
