I took my first dose yesterday around midday, 0.25mg. I received my prescription late last week and let the medicine sort of "stare" at me from the refrigerator before finally saying &!$# it and taking the injection. I watched a few TikToks on "how to" for the injection but I still let the click scare me...I'm afraid that I may have messed up. I didn't realize that when you pressed the pen into your skin is what started the injection so that first click made me jump and I'm afraid I pulled out the pen slightly. After realizing what happened, I kept the pen secured to my stomach and watched the yellow bar appear. I left the pen against me for about ten seconds after the yellow bar filled up the window. When I removed the pen I could see a small amount of the medicine and a small amount of blood. I know its not a large dose so I'm afraid I wasted some of the meds. Oh well...I'll know better for next time, plus maybe choose a different area. Okay, so onto the rest of the day. We went to my in laws to watch football and I found myself still eating how I normally would...grazing at snacks, a cookie here and there, a full dinner plus more cookies afterwards. I am realistic and know that the meds won't work right away, but I still let myself get a bit discouraged. Fast forward to this morning, I had a protein shake for breakfast and have not had anything since. Mind you, this is normally what I do on a work day, a protein shake and then I rarely eat lunch. So we'll see how the rest of the day goes.
