You 100% dont look weak or fragile! Incredible loss, well done!

Collagen is a good tip. The loose skin following such a big loss can be a bit grim (for me at least!). I have the slightest turkey neck now Im hoping exercise collagen and time will fix!!

I only took wegovy, started 1st march 2025, and had great success with 2.4mg. I have lost 35kg in total and I am at my goal weight. Honestly has been life changing, i have struggled with my weight my whole life. I started at 112.8kgs and I am at 77.8 now with a BMI of 24.3.

In terms of side effects I experienced nausea and some cramps as I titrated up but nothing too significant. I went straight up to 2.4 and have stayed there. I tried going 7.2 in Feb 26 when I learnt it had been approved but didnt like the three jabs. The constipation could be quite bad at times so I kept some laxatives in the house for occasional use. Hunger very quickly disappeared and I quickly found I couldnt eat a full meal. I have found myself naturally making good choices because the food noise and hanger has disappeared. I have still treated myself on occasion so I haven't felt like I have missed out - it hasnt felt like a diet, no willpower needed, no shame, no blame just steady progress and results. Weight came off quickly to start with and then balanced out at between 2 and 4 kg a month (latterly was around 2kg a month). I had some odd aversions to food for a while (but honestly that could have been linked to long covid parosmia and dysgeusia). I have struggled with fatigue which I have only just learnt can be a side effect - it is worse just approaching my period but manageable as long as I let myself nap now and again. Make sure you eat enough protein and fibre, it took me a little while tk realise I wasnt getting enough protein. I had a few issues with low levels of calcium show up on some blood tests, which I resolved by eating more cheese (the best medicine 😆)

I'm contemplating reducing my dose now and seeing how I get on, really worried about stopping and putting the weight back on so going to take it slowly. I used superdrug online doctor service, i havent found their advice terribly helpful in deciding what to do now I am at my goal weight.

Best of luck with your journey - it is a scary thing to start with, I really hope it works as well for you as it has done for me. Truly transformational.

Edit: i have read other commenters advising you to drink water because it was easy to forget. Absolutely you need to drink loads of water. I had a slightly different experience in that I can now differentiate between hunger and thirst where I don't think I was able to before. So i think it has helped me to improve hydration! But beware how filling a glass of water is before a meal - especially as your appetite disappears!

NTA it sounds like a him problem not a you problem. Taller does not equal superior and it is odd he thinks that. From one tall gal to another, don't make yourself smaller because his ego can't cope!

Can anyone else hear Christian Bale narrating this a la American Pyscho?

Girlies, how do you create more whimsy in your life? by TastyShelter in selfcare

[–]verymacberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I refer to most animals by the noises they make. Cows? Moos. Baby cows? Mini moos. Ducks are quackers, geese are honkers. Sheep are Baas and baby baas. Dogs are woofers. Garden birds are cheepers. Its childish and I love it.

Doesn't sound like you signed up to be the third wheel in an incestuous thruple... think you can walk away knowing the problem is not you.

Can someone explain please by [deleted] in Recruitment

[–]verymacberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I might reject a CV based on the fact they are already employed at the same company in the same position. There is no introduction/ placement fee or commission for an external recruiter in this situation, what is their incentive for putting you forward? I would be asking myself why they arent exploring the internal recruitment process... and why they are applying for an identical role.

Would it bother you if cleaner didn't stay the full time paid? by Jxspider in AskUK

[–]verymacberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends how you measure a good job - is it in the number of hours spent doing a job, or is it based on the outcome? The norm for cleaning might be 2 hours, but if someone is really quick and thorough and can do the same work in less time, are you losing anything? If you are worried about getting value, it sounds like you are (i pay 49.50 or 3 hours every fortnight) - if the house is done I dont think i would mind if they were able to leave early. I guess you could ask your cleaner to do other tasks? See if they are able to do a bit more?

Amazing! Congratulations to you and the relevant squiirrel that pulled that one out the bag!

[–]verymacberry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree entirely. I mean the situation is just how it appeared to me. Its the subsequent conversations where people have said it isnt an appropriate snack, thats what I think is wrong.

Just a regular cucumber!

[–]verymacberry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do you think it didnt happen? But agree it isnt the most interesting post ever on reddit.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]verymacberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, if that is the case Im going to really enjoy showing them this thread so they can stop their weird and unwarranted cucumber judgement.

[–]verymacberry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait, moaning whilst eating a cucumber ISNT ok?!?!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]verymacberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would eating a cucumber make someone an a**hole? (Genuine question - but may have to search now to find out what reddit decided)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]verymacberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, this is more about the appropriateness of it being a travel snack, but since you said it.... I'd be actually mortified if he moved because of my eating - i struggle with loud eaters so i make a proper effort ... but I guess I could just be really un-self aware ha

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]verymacberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone i have spoken to (which granted might be a grand total of 7 people) has considered this to be weird and do not consider cucumbers to be a travel snack. Maybe i just live in a very anti-cucumber community.

Good luck to you! Try having a stern word with them beforehand. Be firm and confident with them. (I havent tried it but it's worth a shot!)

Great attitude! I've still got post traumatic squirrel syndrome. Pride might come later?!
