I took Saxenda 3 years ago, losing 3 stone and have put on a stone a year since. My own fault, i have real trouble with maintenance diets. 🫣
So in June i started Mounjaro and i find it great. I had suppression from the first dose, even after only 15 mins, but my friend has only found suppression from 5 weeks in and up to the next dose. I have now lost 3 stone again and want to lose another 7lb as a buffer zone.
The best thing for me is the lack of "food noise" where your brain has a constant dialogue of, oooh whats in the fridge, do you fancy some crisps, how about a little bit of cheese and maybe a pickled onion, type thing.
However i have felt very nauseous on the first 2 days and sometimes struggle to eat, which has resulted in fast weight loss but also noticeable muscle loss this time.
You CAN do the click thing, but the pen doesn't click in the same way, it kind of winds down and the click is less noticeable. The best thing is to join the Mounjaro UK FB page as they have all sorts of charts etc dedicated to it and also they share the latest voucher codes etc for whoever is cheapest that week.
I have to say i'm loving being thin again. I have gone from an 18 to a 12 (I am naturally a larger frame anyway) and feel i look good, so its been well worth it!
