Cable Forum - What have you just bought?

So, my first side-effect of Ozempic.

I knew it can give you an upset stomach initially and that came on about an hour ago. I felt I needed the toilet.

To quote Mickey Flanagan, I gave it the gentlest of pushes and I swear the world fell out of my arse. I felt like I was going to empty. As the great man also said, it was like emptying an old radiator.

Then funnily enough my stomach felt amazing. Not weighed myself yet but if I didn’t lose at least a quarter of a stone during that faecal explosion I’ll be very disappointed.

And I have another 3 weeks ahead of me now!

Sounds very much like the symptoms of Crohn's / Short Bowel Syndrome. The more you eat the more weight you can lose... That might sound great for those wanting to lose weight but then try putting weight on then it's quite an impossible task.

Though I never had you done as needing such a thing.

It isn’t something I need, it’s something I want to do. Given my age a straightforward low calorie diet isn’t going to work considering my high protein intake (around 220g per day). I could leave things as I am and live a healthy lifestyle it’s just I figure this will be my final effort to get my waist to where I want it to be.

The only symptom this react was is a common side effect of a first-time Ozempic user.

Been taking weekly injections of Ozempic for about 8 years now for type 2 diabetes. Never trust a fart!

I presume he means some kind of waist reduction surgery.

He could get ribs removed for a sexy corset look :shocking:

I brought privacy screen protectors for my dad's OnePlus 9 Pro and my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL from AliExpress. Those lovely Chinese people give foolproof instructions. The application is seamless. :D delivered in a week may I say.

The strap also came for my Google Pixel watch 3 45mm. It's too bare bones for my liking. The Spigen strap is so much better :tu: still nice though :)

I wouldn’t have one myself but there is quite the market for retro kit like that.

Back in the 90s I ran the Port Talbot branch of Tandy and I’m still in touch with some of the managers now. They’ve got kit like this which they occasionally put on eBay and make a decent bit of cash from it.
