Is anyone starting Mounjaro in June?

I’m definitely still hungry. No appetite suppression yet. It’s only been 15 hours since the jab though so fingers crossed it kicks in

End of week 1 here and feel no different. Not expecting a loss. Will jab tonight and hope it makes a difference this week.

Apparently my step up dose has been approved and I should have it soon

I took my first jab Sat am and have diarrhoea this afternoon, had to come home from work.

How long is everyone planning to stay on 2.5mg? I've already got my 5mg pen waiting in the fridge but I've had such great results on 2.5 (lost 13lbs in week 1) that I'm wondering whether I should stay on it another month

Hope you don’t mind but here’s a discount code for £85 off for new members at voy

I’ve found them very quick and efficient

I've thought the same. Great first week (official weigh in tomorrow morning) with little negative side effects and a calorie deficit of around 2000cal! If it carries on like this I'd be sticking at 2.5. I have a sneaky feeling it wears off quicker as the weeks go by though which might necessitate the 5.0 increase

I've just ordered a 5mg pen from Zava using a code on another thread for 15% off. So it was £122.
Here's my code if useful for anyone REFWUSZ8

My side effects are definitely easing now, which I'm very pleased about. I've lost 5lb since the weigh in I did when ordering. I'm still only on week one, and I'm going to stick with the 2.5 for the next three weeks, steadily increasing the drug in my system, before hitting the 5mg. I have the 5mg pen coming this week and it's so tempting to just use it and see how much faster I can do this, but I don't think that way is sensible or sustainable long term, so I'm trying to teach myself the grace of restraint.

It's a tough journey, I feel like my whole mindset is altering.

I can finally join after silently watching for a while. I took my first dose yesterday, have had appetite suppression today and had to force myself to eat a small meal at lunch. However I’ve also felt really achey today and my glands feel swollen, l’m a mega hypochondriac so of course l’ve convinced myself that l’m going to die or l’ve given myself sepsis or something by injecting myself 🙈
Did anyone experience similar side effects? And if so does it happen every time you inject or just the first time? I can’t face feeling like this every week as much as l want to loose the weight 😞

SW: 14st 2
GW: 10st 7

Don't panic! I felt not right for three days following dose one and am starting to pick up again. I went from feeling cold, flush, sensitive to touch, headachy, nauseous, hot, panicky. It was grim. Today I feel nearly human again.

Yes my glands were swollen and sore in my neck for the first few days after first dose. Not had that again with my second one.

Week 2 had cottage cheese and a protein bar for lunch. Straight to the toilet had diarrhoea.

I did a silly thing and injected too little yesterday as I was exhausted after coming back late from a gig on Saturday and didn't get much sleep. For some reason I only did 40 clicks. I realised this morning and did the rest of the dose. Diarrhoea for the first time today and feeling very tired.

I've submitted a consultation with medexpress for my next pen because they were loads cheaper than pharmacy2u but they haven't approved it yet.

I used the code TOPCASHBACK and it got me 15% off.

Thanks @Snozzlemaid and @norfolkbroadd that’s reassuring. I haven’t told anyone in real life about me doing this so l have nobody to speak to, kept thinking today what people would say about me if l dropped dead because of a weight loss injection 😂
l went food shopping today to stock up on high protein food, it was astonishing to go round the aisles and not want to buy anything at all, l literally felt nothing!

Oh no @NiceUnusualDifferent i hope it’s eased up now. Mine was thankfully like last week, just one episode after a day of sulphur burps.

@Lovingeveryrainbow im undecided, I stayed on the lowest dose of Saxenda for 3m, mainly because each time I tried to increase I had bad side effects but also because it worked and was way cheaper, £50 for 6wks!
I am nervous about going up so I will see what next week brings!

Seem OK now, worried how to deal with this going forward though. Going to move my injection day to Friday instead if Saturday and then hopefully side effects will hit over the weekend

Weighed in this morning 107.1kg

Again some may be dodgy scales but it's going the right way.

OW 111kg
CW 107.1kg

Half way through 2nd dose plus 1 week being good. So 3 ISH weeks all in. Happy with that 😁 I've ordered the 5mg and it's due some point today I think.

I did anger it last night with what I ate but it wasn't too bad had worse when glutened but a good reminder to say enough. I had reduced the portion from my normal but not quite enough for it. It's definitely easier not to stuff my face (the food noise has dulled a lot) but I don't have the extreme suppression a lot of you have. I can still eat a full meal as it stands just not my old portion (which is great). Trying to make the meals better choices too.

I don't calorie count. I have nutracheck on the free one just as a record of weights.

Generally upping protein and fruit/veggies, serving less and if I want something asking myself if I really want it, doing something else before having it.

I'm also not calorie counting or making huge efforts to change my diet. The headspace needed to do this is part of the reason I kept falling off the bandwagon. I put lots of effort into it, it takes over my life then becomes tiresome and I stop. I want to do this differently this time with eating better just to be part of what I do, rather than seeing it as something 'other' I need to do. Thanks to this miracle drug, I'm subconsciously making better choices. I can feel this is different this time. I hope this continues, very early days for me.

Well done on some great losses so far.

I'm 5.6lb down so far and it's not even been a week. I get hungry, but I'm not constantly thinking of food. It just feels different, and wonderful!

Oh dear. Hope your ok now and it's just a blip

Started yesterday on 2.5, wasn't sure if it even went in! But this morning I'm definitely less hungry and not thinking about food as much. If anything I feel a little queasy, have only managed a protein shake so far.

@Sewfrickinamazeballs that's what happens with me when I diet usually, just all consuming and I fall off the wagon. I'm not calorie counting, just aiming to make healthy choices and eat smaller portions. I'm finding this easy now which is amazing.

I broke the 10lb barrier today. So happy. Just another 56 to go 😂

I'm the same, only three people know I'm doing this.

I make my own protein shakes because the ones that are ready made are full of sweeteners that don't agree with me, so I blend plain Skyr, vanilla Oatly, peanut butter and frozen berries and it always comes out delicious, and my body seems to be able to cope with it much better than gloopy premixed protein drinks.
