Officially starting
Well, I’m officially starting Byetta. After having the Rx for almost 2
months, I’ve finally gotten over the chicken part of me that is
terrified of needles. I’m starting on Saturday, after my
mother-in-law, who has been with us for 2 weeks is leaving (I didn’t
really want it geetting back to all the relatives what I’m up to).
On a good note, as I mentioned before, I’ve been "bargaining" with
myself that if I exercise more I can avoid using something with
needles. So for the last few months I’ve been using my eliptical
machine and hand weights at home. While my weight hasn’t budged that
much..well only about 8 pounds (man it is stubborn), I just took some
measurements yesterday to compare to my starting point and have lost
over 9 inches. That made me happy!
Can’t wait to see how the Byetta works on my numbers and appetite.
Keeping fingers crossed about any negative side effects. Thanks for
all of you that post saying you don’t have negative side effects, as
that keeps me motivated that this will really be a helpful tool for me
as well!
