I started in October 2025 and each month therafter I stepped up the dosage:
2.5mg – October
5.0mg – November
7.5mg – December
10.00mg January
I stopped at 10mg on th adice of my Doctor and because I was suffering quite badly with Nausea and reflux.
I tried different injection sites, different times of day but about 24 hours after the jab I’d be feeling nauseous and by 48 hours I would not want to look at or smell food at all. It wasnt a pleasant way to lose wieght, even if it was effective.
The best I foudn was to inject in the upper thigh, alternating wekley from left to right and moving the site to be higher or lower when I swapped back. It seems that the body got used to having the medication in one palce and the symptoms were weakened by doing so. I thought the effectiveness was as well but it proved not to be the case.
Mostly during these few early days of each week I would live on Aldi protein pouches or high protein yoghurts. My wife was not impressed at all and was having the exact opposite problem, she was starving all the time. We tried to get her on the emdication as well but her earlier helath issues had excluded her from any of them. This has remained a source of friction between us throughout. Anytime I mention anything about weightloss, new clothes, the medication, doctors reveiws anything related at all, a barbed comment or two is aimed my way.
It stings, I am the happiest, lightest and fittest i’ve been in twenty years. I want to celebrate the change and I cannot, everything has to be done on the quiet, subdued, almost in secret or it turns nasty.
I lost roughly 0.5Kg per week through the next few months.
