Today's my 1st day!
So first, Im 5'10 (177 cm) and 208.8 lbs (a little under 15 stone or 94.7 kilos) and have gained about 40lbs in the past few years and have not been able to lose it with traditional methods. (I have weighed over 300 lbs at one point) and the body dysmorphia has been terrible.
I have been wanting to try meds for awhile but injections are not my thing so I've been looking into the pill and decided to talk to my doctor about it at my appointment a few days ago. I have ADHD and take Ritalin so I have to check in every 3 months anyways and shes seen my weight gain this past year and my blood work so it was a super easy discussion she just said; "sure I can send over for the tablets" and she went over some side effects and how to take it and to call in to get a refill of the next dose in 30 days. Easiest discussion ever (also a great doc in general)
But I measured out exactly 4 ounces of water and had it sitting at my bedside so I could take it when I woke up.
I was so hypervigilant on side effects. New meds scare me so I read everything I could and really focused in on how I felt. Some very very mild nausea is all I've felt thankfully. (I know its a starter dose but still) i had a protein shake and come coffee an hour later and a few hours after that a breakfast sandwich and overall the hunger noise I usually feel isnt there like it is usually. So im cautiously optimistic on results as i progress and open to all tips and tricks anyone has!
Happy to have a place to share this journey with others and hope I can see some results over the next year!
