I am just about to order! But I’m pretty nervous and would love company and people’s tips.

I plan my first injection on Friday as didn’t want to be unwell when DC were on half term if side affects too bad. I need to do this - Last time I weighed myself I was 17 stone 3lbs which is very sobering. I’ve lost around a stone this year on 5:2 but not motivated to stick to it and know I’ve probably regained some of that. So I really hope Mounjaro works for me and side effects are manageable.

I’m quite nervous and interested in things people are doing to minimise any negative experiences. I am ordering:

• collagen
• electrolytes
• new water bottle (mainly to remind me to drink)

Anything else worth adding to the list?

Will focus on protein but confused about what to do with veggies as people describe reacting to them?

Hey everyone
I keep forgetting to drink extra water!
Started Thursday late afternoon , honestly haven't had any bad side effects , weird taste in my mouth is still there I only drink black coffee and Pepsi max and it def has a after taste since starting my the pen.
My appetite has absolutely changed I'm not getting stomach rumbles or constant thoughts of snacking like normal.
Did anyone else feel cold last night I was really cold and wasn't sure if it was the weather or a side effect.
However I am still getting a little sore tummy after I eat but it doesn't last for long at all.

@BerryPieandCustard Pepsi max is my main issue I need to wean off

Day 2 been for breakfast and managed to eat it all. Feel a bit queasy. Not too bad like I could throw up but more loke when you are nervous.

@Foxlover46 I do feel like I need to completely give up on the fizzy drinks. Even though from a sugar and calorie POV it’s better than my usual Dr Pepper or Coke it’s a slippery slop if I keep drinking fizzy stuff.
when I gave up twice before the caffeine withdrawal headaches were so bad and lasted a few days. Afterwards I couldn’t stand the taste of fizzy drinks so stayed off them for several months before I slowly slipped back.

I have not even finished one can today, I just don’t fancy it like I usually do but I have made myself have some to try and avoid the caffeine withdrawal headache.

Day 2 for me. I feel really cold even tho today is boiling hot I've got fluffy socks on and my oodie 😅 I can feel my stomach rumbling but no urge to eat. But I bought some fruit kebab sticks with my shopping so ate 3 of those.( Pineapple,melon,kiwi and mango) and turned down a pepsi max for water 😱 just randomly felt sick whilst vaping other than that I'm fine and dandy 🤣i hope it helps me stop vaping tbh as I spend a fortune on vapes! also according to my scales I've lost 4lbs since yesterday but I'm not believing that.

Day 3 and I seem to be side effect free, had 2 coffees this morning and then realised it was 1.30 and I hadn’t eaten, this never happens to me. Managed 1 slice of toast some prosciutto ham and 3 cubes of cheese. My old diet would have been at least 3 chunks of cheese, mayo and 3 slices of toast.
I can’t remember ever not feeling hungry or wanting to eat or binge before it is all very strange.

I’m 10 days in and I have lost 1lb. I have less of an appetite and have eaten less. Maybe my metabolism is just shot to pieces, following 45 years old dieting. I have around 10 stones to lose. Whatever I eat or don’t eat, I stay exactly the same weight. It has been exactly the same for 10+ years. During lockdown I ate like a pig and should have put on 2 stones. Nah, not an ounce. I did the exante shakes diet strictly for 4 weeks and lost two pounds. It’s almost like my body has decided that’s the weight it wants to be, no more, no less. I also swim half a mile 3-4 times a week. Going to give it till the end of the four weeks before I give up.

I started yesterday 01/06. So far ok, not as hungry today, no other side affects as yet so happy about that but very early days.

SW 13.9
GW 10 st or below

I still feel a bit gassy and sickly only day 2 so hopefully it will improve.

Day 4 for me and it feels like it's going well.
I can only eat tiny meals and I'm finding it so easy to say no to unhealthy foods.
We had a family barbecue today and all I could manage was 1 sausage, 1 chicken & chorizo kebab and some salad. What has happened to me, I would usually eat so much more, including a couple of rolls. And I turned down trifle!
If I don't have a good loss at the end of this first week I'll be very disappointed.
I just feel nicely full most of the time.

Mine was offered by my GP when I went with something completely unrelated. He had actually prescribed Victoza last summer but it was permanently out of stock. There was no way I could have afforded to buy Mounjaro.
I’m diabetic and although I’m
unsure of my actual weight, my scales are still hovering at around the 18 and a half stone mark. But they only go up to 18 stone. I’d assumed if you were 20 stone for example they’d show you as weighing two stone but perhaps they just stop at 18 and a half.
I’m just over two weeks in - have taken three doses on Friday nights. My appetite has decreased massively - in fact it’s pretty non existent. So by my usual standards I’m eating much less. But as I say not seeing much movement on the scales and my clothes aren’t noticeably looser.
I haven’t had many side effects except sone bloating and constipation last week.
I’m looking forward to taking my last dose of 2.5 then moving up to 5.

Surely it must be the placebo effect at this point but I have had no appetite today. I have had chicken soup for lunch and then salmon and pasta for dinner. Normally I would eat 100g pasta but I cooked 50g and left half of it. I can't quite believe it.

Day 2 for me as well, very burpy and the feeling of food in my throat. Not particularly hungry but eaten lunch and a small meal this evening.

Yesterday was day 2 still dry mouth I was drinking water all day without any relent. My appetite was poor yesterday went out for a meal with friends and it's like I was eating and tasting everything and thought I really don't want any more of this. Whereas usually I would've devoured it without even thinking. Also no alcohol as I have heard the reactions with alcohol can be crazy.

Day 3 for me today. Such a weird feeling of contentment. Never had this. I wonder if this is how people who can say no to extras, or snacks feel. I haven't had any side effects yet. I thought I might have got a headache from it yesterday but it was very short lived so wonder if it was actually the terrible sleep I had Saturday night. Slept fine last night and woken up feeling better great. It's very odd. I feel like I could go to a shopping centre for bits and not have to stop for food where as normally I'd be planning where to shop depending on what food I wanted .

I did eat quite a lot yesterday considering some people are saying they've had the sulphur burps and nausea I'm wondering if maybe this dose won't do much but I'm really enjoying the not needing to reach for snacks. I had a protein bagel for breakfast, and roast dinner (albeit a slimming world friendly one) and a little slither of pudding. It's the only day of the week we have pudding.

I've woken up and I'm not desperate for my coffee or for a biscuit/snack which I'd normally shove down my face when I first wake up before everyone is awake to see.

I also decided to take this as I'm so petrified of cardiovascular issues and it's really putting my mind at ease that this may help especially now I'm not eating as much. I'm pretty sure I was pre-diabetic type 2 as had so many symptoms and would often feel good whilst eating and then absolutely rubbish after.

Anyway long post sorry just absolutely amazed that food isn't my first thought and I still feel full. Incredible.

I'm joining you ladies! Ordered from Voy yesterday and will be starting as soon as it arrives. Currently weighing 20 stone and aiming to get out of the morbid obese category for the first time since the 1990s!

I took my first injection last night. So far I've noticed that my mind seems eerily quiet - not just 'food noise' but any kind of ruminating/worrying. I slept really well, and have woken up feeling a bit like I have indigestion but still hungry.

So I’ve taken the plunge and ordered mine! Im in the office this morning so I’ll have to take my body pictures when I get home this afternoon. I managed to find a code to get 10% off with Asda Pharmacy, and it worked 😊 the code is BDAYGIFT24

I've had alcohol on several occasions since starting it and haven't had any reactions. Everyone's different of course.

First jab was Saturday evening , lastnight I had a headache and my neck and jaw were sore - better this morning but had to take some paracetemol overnight. Woke up feeling a lot fresher than I usually do which was nice

Hi. Joining in as I took first dose of Mounjaro last night. I was really worried as I tried My Simba last year and was so ill I had to stop after 9 days.
It did work in that I had no appetite, but I was unable to function so it wasn't worth it.
I also react badly to opioids, so I figured my body just doesn't meds much, but I'm ok this morning. I injected into my stomach as I've done it before with blood thinning injections - couldn't feel the needle at all - nor could I feel the liquid going in.
I am not feeling the need to eat at all right now and its 11.15am - but I know that I need to so I think I will eat lunch early.

Hi all :)
I think you started the same day as me @Snozzlemaid ( Thursday )
Like you @BerryPieandCustard I do really love Pepsi max but I also drink a lot of black coffee so I think I massively over do the coffee every day.
@Newme24 I can so relate to the waking up and having coffee and biscuits ... sometimes I even would have two Kit Kats ( doubles )
I hope everyone is doing ok , I had the cold feeling for one day that was weird but I do feel like I'm telling myself to eat currently rather than just pigging out on crisps / toast any snack for the sake of it and that isn't usual for me so I'm
Enjoying that feeling.
I walk a lot I have dogs that go out three times a day , and a horse I have to muck pick etc but I worry a lot about heart disease as the females on my mums side died of heart attacks at 60 so it plays on my mind a lot and I was bouncing from keto diets to ww / sw etc and still really overweight

Day 3. Have keto mouth from not eating much yesterday. Had a crisis this morning so that took my mind off anything.
Had a tub of cottage cheese for lunch could have eaten more, there was cake on the table at work and I just didn't eat it.

I guess its weird. You could eat it, it would be nice but just don't bother Is this how thin people think.

Nausea gone for now.

I tried to eat breakfast (greek yoghurt and strawberries) but only managed to each about a tablespoon of the yoghurt. This is so unheard of for me, I would usually eat a huge bowlful with muesli too. Lunch was soup and some ham and cheese. I don't feel hungry. I would normally starving at this point in the afternoon.

@coffeandteav I'm liking the sound of your cottage cheese lunch. I might get some tomorrow.
