Already feel like I’m failing
I am sorry to come in here with all of my negative thinking, but that’s one thing a community is important for!
So, I did 5 doses on 2.5mg and lost a stone in that time. Delighted. Then moved to 5mg 2 weeks ago and have lost nothing. Nada. Zero. None.
The suppression is still there, I’m still doing the same - but I feel like I must’ve done something wrong, I just don’t understand what?!
High starting weight (I’m not confident enough to say how high quite yet), failed RNY bypass 17yrs ago, I have chronic fatigue syndrome and so I’m pretty sedentary, my movement is fairly limited and I’m slowly trying to build this up when I can.
Suppression felt better on 2.5 but still totally there - zero food noise and I haven’t eaten a biscuit or bag of crisps since I started (my downfall). I haven’t eaten protein shakes for breakfast (I usually don’t eat anything so I figure this is better than nothing), high protein lunch and dinners.
I keep my calories around 1400-1500, my recommended is 2000. Could this be my downfall?
Honestly I’ve had a really challenging few weeks in my life in terms of things going on and I’ve been stressed and feeling a bit down on myself. But this is all now making me feel like I’ve failed yet again with another amazing tool because I’m ruining it for myself somehow.
I should change my name to Debbie Downer, right?!
Please someone offer some suggestions! Like take myself for a plunge in the cold sea to shake myself out of this nonsense
