My husband does not know I’m taking it, he wouldn’t approve. However, it is my body and my choices.

oh I didn’t know this either! So pop in fridge when it arrives but after first use it doesn’t require fridge?
I keep mine in the vegetable section, no chance of him looking in there lol in a Tupperware which the teeth whitening for extra protection
Mine came with cool packs so just used those to keep it cool until I used it.
i explained it’s available from Boots and it just suppresses hunger so no one seemed to care.
No one would bat an eyelid if it was an oral drug. The process is no different than taking insulin really.
I admit when I first read about a skinny jab I was horrified, and then I read dramatic stories about influencers taking it. But looking into it properly, it seems safer to me than a lot of things I’ve done in my past to lose weight
no offence to this thread title but I think it’s a terrible nickname for it.wish I had ignored all that because I would have started it so much sooner. It’s been amazing at controlling my eating especially my binges when I’m stressed or on a weekend when I want to treat myself. It’s really made me take a look at my relationship with food.

My partner was a bit worried because I think people's minds go straight to the diet products you get on the black market and that give you kidney failure or somethingMy pen comes tomorrow… told my partner and he was not happythinks it’s dangerous Im being silly etc etc. anyone else had this ?
When this thread first started, some people were comparing it to the diet coffee that was fashionable decades ago and ended up making women really ill or infertile or something like that.Maybe give him the name of the drug so he can do his research and see that it's "legit"? At first he thought I was planning on taking drugs that are prescribed to patients with diabetes and he was really unhappy, but I was fully transparent, gave him the name of the drug and he felt better after having a look at the Patient Information Leaflet, some studies and the NHS website (mind you, he is a healthcare professional so he enjoys reading on the topic anyway). I promised to let him know if I was feeling "anything untowards" as he called it and he ended up giving me my first injections because I was too much of a chicken to do it myself
He still wishes I was kinder to myself and didn't feel the need to lose the weight, but at least he is on board now. As others said, it's your body, your choice, but I personally like that he knows. I would want to know if it was the other way around.Yes mine is the same issue, he just wishes I could stop picking my weight apart!My partner was a bit worried because I think people's minds go straight to the diet products you get on the black market and that give you kidney failure or something

he’d be horrified if he knew what was in contraceptive and all those side effects!! That’s a whole other story
Starting on this tomorrow. Ordered mine from Asda had to send pics of body and scales
Do you have to put a new needle on every day and do they come with needles. What is the best place to inject. Watched a few youtube video's and one women puts it onto her upper arm?
I was on metformin years ago so from what I have read the side effects sound similar.
