Week 6 Weight Loss/New Changes & ER Visit!

[@KaylaAbrahamsen]

Medication absorption is definitely slowed on this medication because of the slowing down of your digestion. It is actually recommended that women who take oral birth control have back up means of contraceptives for the same reason. I’ve also noticed when I try to take melatonin to help me sleep it takes twice as long to kick in so I have to take it way earlier to feel the effects when I actually want to go to sleep.

That makes so much sense to me, but I didn’t even realize this until later on in the game! Now it makes sense about the birth control!

Hey there! I’ve been taking magnesium and it’s helping me regular. I may add the tea in the morning and see if there’s any extra movement lol. Glad to have found your channel. I’m also on a journey and documenting it. New subbie here.

[@lunaluxaz]

That would be a good combination!! Make sure you record what you do. That way you can alter it a little bit a little.

I moved up to 3.0mg on week 7 shot. It was easy. I am on week 7 now and the little bump quieted the food noise that was creeping back in week 6. No new side effects. SW 358 /CW 334. Since I have so much to lose I am staying on each dose as long as possible. Love this medicine. Sounds like you have it all dialed in! ❤

[@lunaluxaz]

Thank you for sharing your upped dose!! I understand completely what you mean by the food noise softly creeping in. Im trying to stayed tuned in to it - you know as well that its a week by week life! LOL Thank you for watching and subscribing!!!❤️❤️

I have migraines and yes, I too have experienced the slowing of the meds timing of effectiveness. Just takes longer. I just ordered Calm. Thank you! You look great! I’m gonna stay on 2.5 on week 5 since I’m still losing and no big food noise.😁

[@lunaluxaz]

I knew there had to be some slowing down of the digestion of meds! Thank you for verifying this. Calm is so amazing!! Take it early so you dint get groggy in the morning! I didnt listen to my NP and I drank it too late and in the morning I had to do double caffeine to wake up lol

[@jazzfuneralmagic]

excellent results! I am taking a scale break for a few days .. I caught myself being a little too obsessed with it. but Dr visit last week says ive lost 20 so I will take it!! yes to meds slowing down, Ive heard that because of someone telling me about an edible experience so watch that too if you partake!! Have a great weekend!!

[@lunaluxaz]

I dont do edibles but that would make sense !! Lol! Great job!! The lower we go the healthier the a1c! Im gonna try that new spot and see how that works!!

[@Gemma1558]

Are you saying you were having bowel movements but you were still constipated? Was there a blockage?

[@lunaluxaz]

@@Gemma1558 not a blockage but I realized that I wasnt actually as regular as I thought. I was actually constipated and misunderstood how much I was supposed to be experiencing a BM.

[@Gemma1558]

Ok thanks for clarifying

[@debmiller1089]

If it is working at 2.5. Why move up ?

[@lunaluxaz]

@@debmiller1089 that’s exactly what I thought. I’m talking to my doctor today about it.
