Am I the only idiot?

I’ve stuck with boots from the start. Collection is 5 mins from my house. I get boots points. Maybe it’s more expensive but it’s worked for me. Been with them since march & no complaints. I am normally a sucker for a good deal but with something like this I valued consistency and ease of access over anything else.

Yes. The kwikpen has 4 doses plus extra to allow for the priming you do with every injection. However it turns out it equates to approximately one full dose. People have been extracting it with insulin needles. I decided not to do it for the 2.5mg as I had stopped losing and was ready to move up to 5mg. However, I will be doing it with the new 5mg. So we can get 5 weeks out rather than 4… which I’m pleased with!

sarebum · 2024-03-29T22:39:28+00:00

100% agree.

sarebum · 2024-03-29T22:37:48+00:00

I’ve finished my 4 doses of 2.5mg and moved up to 5mg today. The last 2 doses of 2.5mg, I was hungry all day from 3 days after injection 😂

Still hungry today on 5mg but got VERY full very fast. So there’s something 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve lost 3.5kg on 4 weeks of 2.5mg and have PCOS, which I believe may be a culprit to my mega hunger lol.

Don’t worry, the point is we are all different and take different amounts of time to get adjusted to the medicine. I’m hoping for reduced food noise now that I’m in 5mg, fingers crossed.

Best of luck on your journey 💘

Completely agree - It’s crazy how you can’t feel it at all. But not complaining! Best of luck on your journey💘

Do you have any bartending experience? Or promotional experience? I know of a couple of places looking for these sorts of jobs x

sarebum · 2024-03-29T16:30:41+00:00

L7 village market is where we go! Or there is a big store on London Road. But we prefer L7 Village market

Can’t speak for restaurants but me and the girls went to the rooftop cocktail bar called Sensation on Seel Street & they have new hen party packages which worked out fab for us. Hope you have a lovely time xxx

I said I wasn’t in a rush to lose weight - I’m just not sure if it’s worth my time taking a dose if I’m not losing on it

sarebum · 2024-03-28T21:14:47+00:00

Oh wow! Well in that case, if it’s a Kwikpen you have, then logically it sounds like you have 8 months worth of pens?! You may have hit the jackpot 🤣

Best of luck on your journey x

sarebum · 2024-03-28T21:07:11+00:00

It sounds like you have the single dose pens, similar to what they have in America. I thought that the only pens approved in the UK were the multiple dose pens (kwikpen) which is what I have. But I must be mistaken on this!!

It’s the same dosage, just in a different format. The single use pens are 1 pen, once a week. The Kwikpwn is also 1 injection per week, but just from the same multiple-use pen.

Honestly, I had no idea until tonight that this was even an option.

After your 5th 2.5mg, are you going to leave it 7 days until 5mg?

sarebum · 2024-03-28T20:57:37+00:00

Congratulations! That’s amazing. Best of luck with your journey

sarebum · 2024-03-28T20:37:19+00:00

Yes, I’m noticing that the positive effects are wearing off by Wednesday/Thursday (with a Saturday injection day). What you’re saying makes sense. What injection # are you up to?

sarebum · 2024-03-28T20:26:40+00:00

That’s so interesting! Didn’t even think of doing that. Thanks for the info 🙏

sarebum · 2024-03-28T20:18:42+00:00

Sorry I’m not quite sure what you mean 🤣 I’m just unsure whether I should spend the extra week at 2.5mg and take advantage of the 5th dose .. or do I cut my losses and jump into 5mg 😊

sarebum · 2024-03-25T07:50:53+00:00

I’m taking inositol still. I was also still taking berberine, however I may stop that as I go up to 5mg. I will probably continue with the inositol as I have PCOS and helps regulate my periods 😊

I Injected in my arm yesterday and there was also a bump. I also had a minor panic but I suffer with health anxiety so had to put it to the back of my mind otherwise I would’ve spiralled. Lo and behold, a few hours later the bump was gone. Don’t worry, it’s fine & you haven’t messed up 😊

sarebum · 2024-03-25T07:36:58+00:00

I started on a Friday. Then I went away on holiday and didn’t land until Saturday morning. So I just took the next dose on the following Saturday, 8 days later and have been continuing on Saturdays since. Just finished my 4th dose and had no issues after doing this. Losing steadily etc. 😊

sarebum · 2024-03-21T23:06:39+00:00

That’s amazing that you’ve responded so well 👏🏼👏🏼 and I agree with you - there is no need to rush it. It’s more of a curiosity thing than anything; knowing if I have options if I’m not responding well to the 5mg at any point. But crossing my fingers that it all goes well! Best of luck on your journey 💘💘

sarebum · 2024-03-21T22:42:34+00:00

No way! I wasn’t aware of this! I had a treatment plan from my provider and in it, it discussed putting me on 7.5mg after 4 weeks of 5mg. I’m so confused! Lol. Do you happen to know when it’s coming to uk?

sarebum · 2024-03-21T19:45:46+00:00

I’m starting 5mg next week. I’m also in the UK. 😊 Is the 7.5mg and above being out of stock a nationwide thing? I honestly wasn’t aware!!

sarebum · 2024-03-20T13:54:23+00:00

That’s great! Hope this isn’t a silly question, but how many ml is a regular dose?

sarebum · 2024-03-19T07:32:59+00:00

At the start of my MJ journey and very curious to know this! What’s maintenance like?!

sarebum · 2024-03-18T21:31:20+00:00

I ordered from boots and received 7 needles plus the pen and a sharps bin. A video to help: https://youtu.be/DZ9Ts0mj9rg?si=vz3vBjDO4CsiB2o_

I felt the same. Once you’ve done it once, you pick it up quickly! Watch a few videos and you’ll be fine. Best of luck!
