Some questions for people who have gone on vacation
I’m wrapping up my first month on 1.5. I’m down 10 lbs so far, with minimal side effects. Since 1.5 is going really well (2lb/week consistent loss, feeling great) I intend to stay on this dose as long as I can, and only plan to increase dosage when it becomes ineffective. I still eat meals, just better portions and no desire to snack which is amazing.
I have a couple of trips planned, some of which have been booked for over a year, and I wanted some advice from people who have had vacations while on this journey.
My first question: you know how when you travel to a new place and, well, things stop up for a few days? Between the travel, different food, etc? I haven’t had to take anything OTC for normal usage but I’m worried the stoppage might be a little more severe when on the pill. Are there any products I should really consider buying for my trip “just in case”?
My second question: I’m stressing a bit because one refill will be scheduled one week into a two week trip, and I’ll run out before the end of the trip. This is obviously not ideal, has anyone gone through NovoCare to get their refill a week or 10 days (to be safe) early for travel? Is that something they will do? Looking at my last refill it wasn’t available to request until just about the last minute, and even then took a couple days to ship.
Finally any other tips to make traveling easier?
