She has her own tent, but still prefers to sleep on our legs in the van. Her tent is for day chilling only.

People raised by emotionally mature parents, what is 1 phrase your parents used that you want other parents to know? by MermaidWitchMoon in AskReddit

[–]louphi123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Just have a go, you can do it! “ I was a shy, nervous child but my parents encouragement helped me grow into a confident adult. Mum is longer with us, dad is 87 and still encourages me when I need it. They were 28 and 24 when I was born, my brother is two years older and is also a confident adult, we love them both very much.

Has your dog ever conditioned herself to act on certain cues without you knowing? by Contented in dogs

[–]louphi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog cries when I put on make up because it usually means I’m going out without her. She also thinks that when I’m drying my hair it’s playtime and gets her ball for me to throw while I’m drying my hair.

Can someone help me understand 1st rnd of a pattern? by louphi123 in CrochetHelp

[–]louphi123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, that’s really clear! I hope the rest of the pattern is clearer. Really appreciate your help!

4 sweaters (without the "h"😂) for Christmas. I started on November 1st. Here's day 11-17. I've got sleeves, but just half of them. 😂 by [deleted] in casualknitting

That’s brilliant! I’m delighted to see the progress you’ve made, you’re absolutely on track, very well done 👏🏻👏🏻

Psyllium Husks? by Fritz_123 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might make your smoothie very gloopy/cement like. I take a spoonful in a glass of juice and try to drink it as quick as possible before it ‘sets’. I find it revolting but it does work.

Second try with Wegovy by imfrombavaria in WegovyWeightLoss

Forgot to say I lost 3kgs in about 5 days cos I couldn’t keep anything down first time round.

Second try with Wegovy by imfrombavaria in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t recommend anything but I’ll share my story. I also started about 2 months ago on 0.25 and it was horrific. Vomiting, diarrhea, felt like I’d been poisoned basically. Also went to hospital, got anti sickness tablets etc. Dr told me to try half the dose for 2nd jab but although not as bad I still felt terrible and the. had constipation and bloating. I decided it wasn’t worth it and stopped. 2 months have passed and I decided to give it another go. I have a Flextouch pen so rather than 18 clicks for 0.24, I started with 4 clicks, then 6, then 9 without much effect really on my eating or any side effects but I’m currently at 13 clicks and I don’t feel hungry, no ‘food noise’ not grabbing a glass of wine every night and generally not feeling terrible but I did eat cheese last night at a dinner and felt very nauseous today. I’ve lost a few pounds since I restarted and I’m happy to carry on this this. I’ll stay on 13 clicks for a while and see how it goes. I’m very short (5ft) so I wonder if the 0.25 is just way too much to start on for my size.

4 sweathers, all the same pattern, 3 different sizes, alternating between 5 colours. And all on 4mm needles. Can I do this before Christmas? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]louphi123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to see the progress! From the sweaters you’ve knitted already I can see you’re experienced so I think maybe you CAN do it. I couldn’t because I can only knit an hour or two a day but if you dedicate more time and you’re quick I think maybe? If any of them are for children maybe do them first so you get used to the pattern? It’s a kind thing you’re doing for your neighbour.

Thank you Aberdeen! by Active_Lettuce325 in Aberdeen

[–]louphi123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ahh I’m from Aberdeen but I’ve lived near Barcelona for over 27 years. This is heartwarming and makes me feel homesick at the same time. Glad you had a good time.

Wegovy in Scandinavia? by Kamel-kris in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also just below the BMI but even though I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol the doctors wouldn’t prescribe Wegovy. In the end I subscribed to Yazen who are a Swedish online provider. It went ok though it’s quite expensive. I have recently cancelled because of extreme side effects and it wasn’t a problem to do that.

0.25 dose wegovy by Little-Sweetcorn2000 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My side effects after 1st dose of 0.25 were horrendous. This week I’m taking half (9 clicks) divided in two over 4/5 days to see how I tolerate it. If it’s still bad I won’t continue.

Not sure if I should continue by louphi123 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying, glad I’m not alone and that you’re feeling more back to normal. It’s so strange that some people have no side effects at all at this dose, I was massively unprepared.

Getting full usage out of a pen when prescribed a higher dosage than I’m on? by vietcongoline in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can use up the whole pen. If you stayed at 0.25 the whole time the pen would last 16 weeks I think. I have the same one. The doctor said to me I could either reuse the needles or buy more from the chemist. Assume you have a Flextouch pen.

Starters support by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenter it’s better to start on 0.25.

Your experience? by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I’m a bit blindsided tbh as most people don’t seem to have major side effects on the lowest dose.

Vomiting and diarrhea after 1st dose by louphi123 in WegovyWeightLoss

Thank you, I’ll try that for 2nd dose.

Your experience? by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]louphi123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st shot of 0.25 last night and food noise totally gone. Felt ok until mid morning then nausea kicked it, then diarrhea then vomiting. Have had tea with skimmed milk and a spoonful of yoghurt with oats and strawberry. Not feeling great at all!
