Is anyone starting Mounjaro in June?

Week 2 day 3, and I have the most horrible 'dry' metallic taste in my mouth. Thinking about it, I had this last week too 😫

So the diarrhoea started approx 24hrs after I told the 5mg, after a day of sulphur burps. Not as bad as the first week of 2.5 but have felt knackered and yuck all day.

If it is similar to 2.5 hopefully it will be ok by tomorrow 🤞🤞 just need it to pass by Tuesday as I can WFH Monday if needs be.

I’m at the 50th and struggling. Have been nursing bottles of corona. Delicious looking buffet and I ate two small sandwiches. I feel boring!!

Haven't experienced this yet. I get where you are coming from, and asking myself why does not eating, drinking = boring?

I guess it is a change of mindset, outside the normal as I find eating and drinking normally very enjoyable and not being able to do that when out would probably put a damper on things for me too.

Can you request some songs you like, get people up to dance? (bonus burns off some calories!) Or mingle and talk to people? Keep moving and busy and you might not notice so much?

Had my 5th 2.5mg dose on Wednesday and appetite suppression is really strong today.
It's been much less than this for a while.
Not eaten much today so thought I'd have some fruit. Cut up an apple and peach and couldn't finish them! Can't believe how full I feel.

4 week weigh in this morning

SW 120kg
CW 111kg

So in stones that’s 1 stone and 5.8 lbs since first Jab on June 1st. I’m rounding to 20lbs 🥳

That's amazing well done.

Wow 🤩 @CoastalCalm that’s a stunning loss.

@CoastalCalm thats brilliant!!

My conclusion from last night is this jab and booze do not mix! I had 3 coronas over 5 hrs, felt completely sober coming home, have woken up this morning feeling like I drank 3 bottles of white wine. Urgh. Hoping my trusty electrolytes will bring me back to life.

Well done @CoastalCalm that’s fabulous!

sorry you feel rubbish @Callmejudith I haven’t fancied alcohol at all so far thankfully.

I felt awful yesterday but it seems to have eased a bit this morning.

I feel slimmer and healthier (when I’m not burping or feeling sick!) my knees don’t ache as I walk upstairs. I am really impatient to look different though!

3rd jab yesterday and a massive headache today, but after a slow week 3, I've finally dropped another 1lb 🎉

6lb total loss since 15th June and approaching the 12s!

4 week weigh in: 6 pounds

Morning all

I did my second jab last Wednesday (2.5) and since then have felt, well, nothing! None of the slight side effects I had in the first week, and can't say my appetite feels as suppressed as before.
I am wondering if people's appetite suppression comes due to the side effects of feeling nauseous, or whether some people have no side effects apart from the suppression?
We are still on holiday and I'm worried I didn't do something right with the injection? We travelled with the pen in an insulated lunch box alongside some frozen sausages to keep it cool 😂 That wouldn't have affected it would it?!!

Well its my final day of week four and im down 10lb. My body is incredibly resistant to weight loss even though my bmi is 37, so im pleased with this. By this point if i were just calorie counting without the drug, id be on the verge of giving up and my mindset would be changing back into 'well its not the worst thing being this fat' The drug has removed that desire to cave.
My fave dungarees are niw baggy again rather than straining over my belly and bum, which is awesome.

Im going to see how much i can get out of my 5th dose tonight as i plan to move to 3.75 rather than 5. We go on holiday in just under a month, and id like to in the next stone bracket by then - but i dont think thats realistic as it would mean losing another 10lbs - at least 5lbs would be great though.

I track everything and try to go with averaging my calories over the week rather than sticking to the same 1400 each day - kind of like a 5/2 plan.

For me they are separate things.

The nausea/burping has typically lasted a day. On that day yeah it’s a massive struggle to eat. Yesterday I felt awful and managed a carrot, an apple, 5 cream crackers and a small portion of spaghetti. Which is frankly rubbish but equally is probably all I would eat if I was recovering from a sick bug.

Then pre Mounjaro food was in my thoughts constantly. Cravings, mindless picking and snacking. Portions that were huge and still not feeling full or satisfied. Plus alcohol, which would then cause me to eat more.

The difference for me is that I’m firstly not thinking much about food. Rather I have to remind myself to have breakfast and lunch, I don’t tend to snack at all.

Then when I do eat, I don’t feel compelled to clear my plate. Even if it’s something delicious. I stop when I’ve had enough. Which feels amazing and completely different to my many years on SW which encourages eating til full, which for me isn’t a thing!

The only thing I would say in terms of nausea and meal choices, I do try to be careful, particularly in the days just after injecting, about not eating fatty greasy or rich food even in small quantities.

three weeks and three days in - I'm down 12 pounds. Extraordinary for me... Still a long way to go though. Weirdly I just feel like I'm eating TOO much - it's like a guilt that I feel so full so I must have eaten loads. When I add it up though it often barely tops 1000 calories. Strange.

Hello, I have been following this thread since the beginning having also started Mounjaro early June. I havent posted before, but was hoping for advice since it all seems a bit odd currently! Firstly, I have no appetite and have to force myself to eat. Can really take or leave it (mostly leave.) Therefore I am struggling to get enough protein, averaging about 50g on a good day. I am religiously logging what I do eat to check I am not over/under doing it, and according to my app (cronometer) I have averaged 1000 cals a day over the last (nearly) 4 weeks. I have lost 8lbs which is fine, but given the calories I'm on doesn't seem spectacular, especially since most of that was my initial whoosh loss. Anyway, given Im struggling to eat I am a bit nervous about going up a dose. Can anyone advise? Do I stay on the lower dose, do I force myself to eat more, do I go up a dose and see how it goes?? Im feeling like something needs tweaking but not sure what or how!

Thanks @JomonotFomo
I'm definitely thinking about food more this week, but that might be due to the ample bread, amazing cheese and wine on offer...
I might do my 3rd jab a day early and see how that mixes things up! I almost feel like I need the slight nausea to help me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Taken first 5 on Thursday night, no side effects so far.

I've gone down again so now 105.4kg

SW 111kg
CW 105.4kg
At the moment GW 100kg

Has a blip in the middle and went up to 107kg from 106 before the heatwave but it was water so that's finally gone away mostly. Still have swollen feet but compared to how swollen I was i'll take it 😅.

@CoastalCalm well done, that’s fantastic!

I am on week two & have amazingly lost 4lb this week. After a dismal 1lb the first week.

I am planning to order my next pen, if I were to regularly loose 4lb a week I’d definitely stay on 2.5, is any one else finding it hard to make a decision whether to step up to 5 or remain on 2.5 for their next pen or is it just me?

@achangeofnameisasgoodasarest I feel like that too - like I've eaten too much when I really haven't. I think my tummy just feels full after a few bites, so if I finish a meal I feel like I've overeaten.

End of the second week today and going to take my third 2.5 dose later. My clothes are feeling looser - such a great feeling!

Overall weightloss: 11lb
1st week: 6lb
2nd week: 5lb

SW: 13st
CW: 12st 3lb
GW: 10st

@fairydust11 I'm thinking of sticking with 2.5 too

Some really great losses well done everyone!

I hit the gym and feel so much better. The alcohol effect can only be a good thing for me because I bloody love booze.

I think I’m going to stay on 2.5 if I keep the same appetite suppression for the next couple of weeks

Great to read about everyone’s loses this morning! I’m due to weigh in tomorrow morning before my 2nd jab. I felt like I’d lost a bit so was very naughty and did a weigh yesterday, 2lbs gone so hoping it’s maybe 3lbs tomorrow but I’m happy with 2lbs if that’s what it’s going to be!

I had 3 beers yesterday and thankfully feel fine today but I certainly won’t be drinking more than that and not on a regularly basis.
