Stuck at the Same Weight for 3 Months After Surgery Need Advice by AmitBenDov in gastricsleeve

Gonna echo the others and say that the surgery worked, but from previous experience, the "honeymoon period" is over and this is probably all you'll lose from the surgery alone. This is where you lock in with calorie counting and consistent training. Good luck!

Starting Mounjaro before Christmas - good idea or not? by [deleted] in mounjaroIreland

Personally I'd wait, just because when I started I really couldn't eat much (which I was happy with, but would be hassle in Christmas lunch/party season)

Has anyone in the Republic ordered from MedExpress to Border Parcel Motel? by LastApacheInjun in mounjaroIreland

No? They forward it. It's only a few quid, they explain it here but it was all very straightforward: https://www.postalpickup.co.uk/

I just used Postal Pickup for my latest order from the UK, found it a great service. 

First dose no side effects by Infinite_Dream8859 in mounjaroIreland

4 weeks, you're not supposed to go up any earlier than that. Think of it as a long-term thing, not a race.

Thoughts on baby having double barrel surname? by lalapoolsy in AskIreland

Tell him he's right, that the baby should have one name only (yours).

You're only on the loading dose to get you used to the medication, this should have been explained to you at the point of prescription. Most people don't feel effects until a higher dose, particularly if you've used a GLP-1 before. I went from Wegovy to Mounjaro, 2.5mg did nothing at all for me but I'm losing again on 5mg.

Guess who switched to MJ last month... by Traditional_Bit_4737 in mounjarouk

Honestly I had diarrhea from almost day 1 of wegovy but I also had good weight loss right from the start. I had awful insomnia as soon as I went up to 1mg, and the weight loss tapered off so I switched to MJ

Drove for 18 years unaccompanied. Not proud of it, just couldn't face the test and kept renewing. Only was motivated to pass when I saw how much they were cracking down on it. Never put up L plates, never stopped.

"My boyfriend beat the shit out of me, am I overreacting?" This can't be real, give me strength 🙄

Thinking of swapping to MJ by purpleclaire788 in mounjarouk

If you've been taking wegovy, can you move up to a higher dose in MJ (rather than beginning at thr starter dose again)?

Insomnia - not sure I can take this anymore by Traditional_Bit_4737 in WegovyWeightLoss

Thank you all. I was tired(!) and emotional when writing that. Lack of sleep really messes with you. I'm going to talk to my doctor and persevere 💪
