Wegovy/ozempic/mounjaro weight loss section

[Sewfrickinamazeballs]

Given the amount of threads on weight loss drugs, it's becoming harder to find threads without their use in the weight loss chat (and I am speaking from someone about to start them). Any chance a section could be made for these?

Also, would it be possible to start separate threads by dose? Eg 'Mounjaro 7.5' ? I find the chatty thread dominated by newbies (all asking the same questions!) but it's really hard to find posters on the same dose a few months in.

I know there are a few 'starters in [month]' threads already, but this doesn't really work for mounjaro as people go up the doses at different speeds (eg I started in March, so should be on 10mg by now, but am still on 5mg), so threads by dose level would be better.

Also to have a 'those considering it thread', 'those at goal' /maintaining' threads would be useful as well.

And agree a separate section would be great!

Another requesting a separate board please.

I am also requesting a seperate section for injectables

Good idea. I'd like to be able to hide them, these threads are everywhere.

Hi all - we're going to set this up and will link here when it's live. Thank you.

Great news! Thank you @BeckyAMumsnet

Excellent @BeckyAMumsnet thank you

This is great news that this will be set up!

I was just about to ask for it.

As a Mounjaro user myself, I think it would be great if we had our own space so we don't take up the usual weight loss thread.

Great news - thanks Mumsnet. It will be better for everyone and (speaking as a user of the injectables) nice to have the general weight loss board back too.

@Speedweed that’s a good idea about threads for people at particular doses. The only thing you can do is start one. There are the starting in particular months threads and the people with lots to lose as well as my steady losers thread for those of us not dropping as fast as some others. It will all be easier on the new board.

Was just coming on to ask if there could be a separate board to stop WLC being so swamped, so this is great news!

Hi everyone - here is the new board. We'll move some threads across in due course. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/weight-loss-injections/5093729-welcome-to-your-new-board

Thanks all.

Thank you @BeckyAMumsnet - we are hoping you can move all the main mounjaro threads over? (We are on 12 and @ObsidianTree is the one who started most of them). Thanks.

Perfect thanks

@BeckyAMumsnet I've asked for the main mounjaro threads to be moved over via reporting my thread. I have given all the links. Hope that helps 😊

Thanks @ObsidianTree this is super helpful 😙

Hey guys - ive just started my injection beginning of this week. I’m currently on 2.5mg mounjaro with great effect the first half of the week but today i have started to get my appetite back as i feel the drug has worn off. Does anyone know if i can take my next dose a day or two early?

@Beckyloses - you need the Weight Loss Injections section - www.mumsnet.com/talk/weight-loss-injections/5093729-welcome-to-your-new-board www.mumsnet.com/talk/weight-loss-injections/5093729-welcome-to-your-new-board]]]]

But in the meantime no. Just trust the process. Keep to the schedule you have been set. Make sure you are eating lots of protein and fibre.
