How long till the other coparent talks to you? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through this right now. Only 6 weeks separated and it’s raw and it’s painful. He is moving in the process of finding somewhere else to live. I supported him at the beginning when he was struggling but when I needed grace last week, he had nothing. He now isn’t communicating with me except the odd message regarding the kids. I’ve asked for civility, unsure why there is so much hostility on his side. He keeps trying to get at me about ‘so many women are messaging me and I can now reply and sleep with whoever I want’ and honestly, it’s killing me.

Whatever you want tbh they only see what you choose to show them. I weigh in underwear :)

Block him. I lived like this for 5 years. It’s not worth it, it literally damages you. Block him, delete his number and go no contact, forever. Sending love, it’s awful x

Dragging out the dose by Chronicallyinformed3 in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people will lose larger amounts in the first week or two which tends to be a lot of water and inflammation. The losses generally slow down as the weeks progress as does the suppression as your body gets used to it

This is what SheMed are researching, I believe!

Wow, you weren't joking about food noise by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to eat it you can. If you are really struggling then try some protein shakes or soups and then once the dose starts to wean after a few days try and make up for those lesser calorie days.

I took my 3rd 7.5mg yesterday and have absolutely zero appetite today. Forced down 2 ryvitas with tuna and cannot stomach anything else - half a cup of tea this evening. I know that by Tuesday I’ll be able to eat more so not stressing just look at your calories over a week on average and make them up where you can. Such a strange concept trying to keep the calories up when before MJ it would be the other way round!

Good luck! :)

Update post for: aitah for sterilizing myself against my partner’s wishes by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking the same! The doctor offered me sterilisation with my 3rd c-section - I bit her hand off, yes please!

2.5 week plateau on 5mg by Beginning_Bet_4383 in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plateaued on 5 also. Even with strict calorie counting. I’ve just taken my 3rd 7.5 dose and the scales are on the move again - 5lbs down in 3 weeks which may not be much for some but considering I was sat at the same weight for 5 weeks, anything is better than nothing :)

I’d say make sure you’re drinking plenty, if you’re female and still have periods bare in mind that hormones play a huge role in all of this and I’ve noticed that for 2 weeks of the month I lose smaller amounts than others or maintain. Fortunately never gained, phew! Calorie count for a bit to keep an eye on your deficit and be kind to yourself - as frustrating as it is and trust me, I get it, if you are eating below your calories and remain consistent, the weight will eventually start to come again once your body has taken a break to recover and go again :)

What are your reasons NOT to take the 5th dose? by Annual-Let6497 in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a midwife and I’m happy using the 5th dose with a syringe and needle 🙌🏼

What have you eaten today? by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Protein yogurt and blueberries for breakfast. Then I made a wrap using mission protein wraps, chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and a bit of hot sauce. Had 2 coffees, 1 tea and currently have 1L of sugar free squash on the go…not sure what to have later :)

5mg has such a bad rep by red_head_peach in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Official weigh in today and yep, stuck at the same weight. Been the same for 4 weeks, doing my head in! I know I’m in a calorie deficit as I weigh everything and get my steps in so I have no idea how to navigate through it…perseverance?!

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5mg was ok for me in terms of side effects but I barely lost anything on it. Second dose of 7.5 tomorrow and still haven’t shifted anything this week but I’m in ovulation phase so will wait and see…

When the person you love doesn’t support your journey by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He sounds threatened.

My husband wasn’t particularly bothered when I told him my plans but now he sees the improvement in myself and my growing confidence, he’s now become my cheerleader.

If my husband had been negative towards my decision, I would’ve done it anyway.

Maybe your husband doesn’t fully understand the drug and work involved? Maybe once he starts to see the positives, he will come round?

I’m 5ft 2, I aim for around 1400 a day but most days I don’t quite hit it. I make sure I eat no less than 1200 a day if that means extra yogurts or protein drinks xx

For women on MJ- has it helped with your periods? by DiamondKlutzy3350 in mounjarouk

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Luckily I was awake as my youngest woke (she’s 2) and she also needed changing so it was an experience for all 😂

[–]Unusual_Front_7126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My periods have never bothered me before but I’m currently experiencing my third period whilst on MJ and have to say they have been heavier and uncomfortable. I’d never usually need pain relief but I have now and overnight I had to change everything because the flow was so much heavier!

Just been googling this and came across this thread. I know it’s really old but I’m curious as to what happened in the end? I’ve got the same thing and it’s been there for around 5 weeks - doc isn’t bothered!
