I've woken up feeling full - this is so weird!

First dose Thursday morning.

I am getting hungry - I'm hungry this morning say. But it's just minimal compared to what I'd feel like normally. I can ignore it quite easily. I didn't end up eating dinner last night so I should be ravenous as I haven't had a proper meal for 17 hours, but I just feel like I'd probably like some food.

If it's a placebo effect or the drug I honestly don't know. I guess people may have different reactions; firstly I've wondered if people's reactions might be dependent on their weight (i.e dose per kg if someone weighs 15st is 20% lower than my current dose per kg) and secondly given this is acting on a hormone it might depend how much of that hormone you had in the first place.

It’s biazzare isn’t it I couldn’t face milk in my tea so drinking it black w lemon. Still got a headache though and interestingly my resting heart rate was lower last night and overnight as I kept my garmin watch on. I’m logging on my fitness pal and it wouldn’t accept my “day” yesterday as I only ate 900c but I just didn’t fancy lunch and only had half tin peaches for pudding instead of my usual constant grazing from 6-9pm. I’ll try eat a bit more today as I think 1000-1200 will suit me for a slow steady lose. I’m happy with 1-2lbs a week as I’m in my 50s

Hi everyone, I'm on my second week of the 2.5mg dose. My third Jab is due on Wednesday.

SW: 14st 3lbs
CW: 13st 1lb

I've lost over a stone in 2 weeks, I can't believe it. Only had side effects for the first 4 days of the first week.

I'm about to order my 5mg pen, just so it arrives with plenty of time. I used med express for my first prescription, used the new customer 20% off. I can't find any discount codes for ordering the next pen. Does anyone have any working ones? TIA xx

@ASDmumma987
here’s a code for voy.

you should be able to get a pen for £144 and then I get 50% off too :) they are very easy to deal with and fast

Hello, can I join you here?
Started June 8, so I'm halfway through my second dose. It is making life easier when it comes to making sensible choices and I am eating less. Thanks for all the advice on here which I have read avidly.

Just ordered my second pen from Zava using a code on here - had used Chemist 4 U for my first one but Zava is cheaper. Approved nice and quickly, I was worrying it wouldn't be as I'm switching and wanted the 0.5 but so far so good.

SW: 89.5kg
CW: 86.5kg
GW: 69kg (seems like pie in the sky right now).

Anyway, another Zava code here in case it helps anyone.

Didn't lose anything after week 1 on 2.5mg but definitely convinced I didn't inject properly so may not have got the full dose. However, I found myself leaving more food even after decreasing my portions over the weekend, and rarely felt hungry so that was a plus.

Just injected week 2's dose and am confident I did it right even down to the tiny drop of blood at the injection site (which I didn't have last week). Fingers crossed for some loss this week, even if a couple of pounds!

Took my first dose of MJ yesterday afternoon. No appetite suppression as of yet, but also no side effects which I’m pleased about.

This is weird. I had the first 2.5 on Saturday. I got my usual casualty (🙈🤣) treat without thinking but couldn't finish.

Yesterday I made pastries for everyone for breakfast, left mine to cool and forgot about it, and didn't eat til lunch. I didn't snack at all yesterday.

Today I slept to my alarm and didn't want breakfast, when I normally wake up early from hunger. I normally have cereal at 6am and want something else by 10/11. It's now 1pm and I've just had beans on toast. I eat with work then have a break after, where I would normally snack out of boredom and tiredness but I'm just not bothered.

It's just weird. But I love it. This is how I want to be. Not sure how long to leave it until I weigh in.

I did my first 2.5mg Wegovy this morning! A bit achy around the injection site but nothing else so far. Would usually be chomping for lunch now but happy to wait until my DS is down for his nap shortly!

SW: 78.75kg
GW: Ideally 50kg but would take 60kg or below as my healthy BMI weights are so low due to only being 155cm tall.

@SwiftPeak and @daffodilandtulip
I’m the same as you guys - have lost the interest in food and ability to eat big portions. I’m usually not interested in breakfast whereas before it was the first thought of my day really. Waking up not hungry is so weird.
Long may this last though what happens when we stop MJ is scarey. Trying not to think that far ahead….lots of flab to shed here first 🤣

Help!
My first dose this morning.

ICan't for the life of me press the pen down hard enough for it to "go" I've wasted 2 bloody doses and I'm fuming with myself! Do I have a dodgy pen or am I a useless weakling with no arm strength.

I'm so so angry/upset

@30not13
It doesn’t take much to push the top of the pen back down. have you tried changing the needle?

@30not13 did you prime it okay? It sounds like the needle isn't on properly but I'm not sure how you've wasted two doses if that's the case. You could take a photo of it with the needle fully on and share here for us to check if it looks right?
There are lots of videos on youtube of how to do it but if you still think it's dodgy, you can contact your prescriber for help.

This was this morning. 2 doses cause I tried again but both splootered everywhere.
I hadn't considered the needle being the issue, the "plunger" but just wouldn't budge them I was really forcefulwith it and it shot everywhere but in me, I don't even know how tbh.

I'm so cross I've literally wasted that money. I'm not struggling to pay for it but it's so much money :(

I'll wait till next week to do it again just on the off-chance any got into me (I don't think it did though)

I’m 2lb down in 36hrs I’m fully aware this is fluids but for someone in their 50s who it took 9months to lose 10lbs before this is really eye opening. I’ve previously lost 40lbs through diet n exercise & breast feeding but I still had to aim to eat only 1500c plus exercise daily & it still took me a whole year to lose that 40lbs & then 8 years plus menopause to regain it sadly. I do more exercise than average but I’m short and definitely have a slow metabolism. My DH just drops weight but never thinks about food at all it’s just “fuel” to him, to have the food noise in my head vanish is amazing I hope it continues!

@Summerslimm that's amazing!!
I keep wondering how on earth I'm going to lose any weight at all while feeling so full. It's a weird sensation, feeling full all of the time. It feels like I've eaten loads, but I really haven't.

I’m at the end of week 1 and haven’t really felt full at all, I’ve still been hungry a lot of the time. Weigh-in tomorrow so we’ll see.

I've just been reading through, I took my first 2.5mg dose Saturday evening.
I hadn't expected the delivery until Tuesday but as it arrived I thought I'd get started right away.

I felt fine all day yesterday, couldn't eat first thing but managed some milk. I'd baked brownies but couldn't finish one, didn't manage to finish a standard tea I'd usually have so I definitely ate less and didn't want more food.
Yesterday I felt a bit off. Felt full very quickly and couldn't finish usual portions.

Starting weight 13st 3.2lb
Goal weight 9st 7lb - last time I remember feeling comfortable and seems realistic and more acheivable. But still has me at over weight due to height so if this becomes easier with mounjaro I'll lower this.

Well done everyone on their losses so far. I did my second 2.5mg dose last night. Feeling pretty grotty this morning 🤢 but I am 3lbs down so far.

I am using Voy and have a discount code but unless someone uses it I obviously don't get the discount either. How easy is it to switch supplier to get the 5mg as Voy are pretty expensive after the 2.5mg.

Here is my discount if anyone fancies using it though 😁

Well done everyone, for both losses and powering through the side effects.

I'm coming up to time for my 4th dose and I can't decide whether to do it as normal or use some of the bonus dose to either do an extra half dose or go up to 5mg a week early. I haven't had bad side effects so far and have a 5mg pen waiting. Anyone else thinking of doing this?

i took injection 3 yesterday. have not really felt any effects but am disinterested in food. 3kg loss since the first day so going in the right direction slowly.

Can anyone recommend where to get a syringe to get out the bonus dose?
I’m 6lb down and just started my period- about to take dose 3 tomorrow.
I’m using voy too- switched from Superdrug- and found it very straightforward.
Feel free to use my referral code for £85 off so I can get a discount on my next pen:-) thanks https://joinvoy.com/r/U-s43exPb2y3

I did a silly thing this morning and weighed myself after only starting on Saturday. 3lbs down but I noticed I was a wee bit hungrier yesterday so assume by Friday I might be eating more and my “proper” weigh in might not reflect as well

@BellaCriesAndThatsAlright @@BellaCriesAndThatsAlright

Sorry no idea how to only call you once. I'm considering doing this too to then step this dose up then 5 week after
