Moun-June-ers 2024 continued

[Sewfrickinamazeballs]

Continuation thread for the June 2024 Mounjaro starters.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this, but I have a question along the same lines: if someone uses my discount code, will Voy automatically take the money off my next pen?

Anyone find the first month's dose didn't make much of a difference?

I'm not as interested in big meals but could snack all the time and am certainly not put off sweets and chocolate at all.

I've lost a pound 😒

I start the 5mg dose tomorrow and am PRAYING I actually feel it!

It's a lot of money to spend for no effect.

2.5mg isn't a treatment dose; it's just to get your metabolism used to tirzepatide.

I've noticed a reasonable difference but I'm looking forward to increasing to 5mg.

Yes, that's been my experience.

But it seems, from doing some research, that some people don't see any weight loss until 7.5mg or even 10mg. And there are some people who are just unresponsive to the drug. Hoping that's not me!

Yes 100% agree @coffeeandteav with the brain chatter noise especially first two weeks it was constant. Interestingly my mind has cleared abit and has more focus when I do have something to do now I’ve broken the sugar cycle. Before starting MJ I was really in a rut overeating sugar that I was struggling a lot to break out off and this has just turned off that craving.

Yes it’s automatic. They also told me the refer a friend page will show if someone used my code.

Weigh in morning for me:

SW: 106.5kg
CW: 104.9kg

So I’ve lost 1.6kg in 2 weeks. Little slower than I’d like but it’s only 2 weeks on the 2.5 dose so hoping for bigger losses on the 5. I’ve noticed a good change in my relationship with food though, definitely taking smaller portions which is great.

I had 4 beers yesterday and feel like I have a hangover today so that’ll be me off the alcohol which will make another big difference to the weight loss I think as we often have a couple of beers in the evening to relax. I imagine when I move to the 5 I’ll struggle to even tolerate 1 beer which is fine. Energy levels are a bit better now I’m making an effort to have a small breakfast and lunch so I’m pleased that I’ve still lost with introducing a little more calories.

@SarahB88 1.6kg in 2 weeks is great, just think how much longer and harder it would've been without MJ! And positive changes to your relationship with food is a real win as well.

Injection 4 due tomorrow and I'm debating what to do about my next pen. Voy are clearly more expensive than the others (unless someone uses my discount code: https://joinvoy.com/r/U-pl9G3iafw6) but I've had good service with them and I'm quite liking the coaching. Regardless of whether I stick or switch, I can't decide whether to move up to 5 or stay on 2.5 for a second pen. My gut says do another 2.5 - I've had limited side effects so far, decent supression and the scales are moving down, but interested to know what others are thinking?

@mandarindreams I am asking myself the same question about Voy (although I haven’t used the coaching yet). It seems silly to pay nearly £100 extra compared to other places but I really don’t know if I want to go through the pain of more photos/having to order every month/delivery delays etc. Also, IF someone does use your code, Voy is a really good price! Have been looking at Oushk as well though😁

Re strength of jab - if you are doing well with the 2.5, why not stay on it? I won’t be as I’m finding it less effective as the week wears on (I’m a day behind you and am taking my 4th on Wednesday) and I am currently sitting here quite hungry planning what I can eat for lunch😩 My plan is to take the bonus dose which will hopefully be a little more than 2.5 and then move up to 5 in week 6. I am having some side effects on 2.5 so hopefully they won’t be too awful as I move up 🤞

@IReallyNeedThisToWork Glad I'm not the only one debating this! Yes, it's the hassle factor that's putting me off, but I do feel a bit like I'm burning money. The coaching is fine but not essential to me, and definitely not worth all the extra cash.

I think I probably will do another 2.5, the supression does start to ease off towards the end of the week but not to the point where it feels unmanageable, it just feels like a bit of a test of willpower as opposed to being easy peasy. I've also got a trip away over the next pen for a wedding and don't want to be suffering serious ill effects during that.

@mandarindreams I am in exactly the same position and have ended up asking Voy to send me another 2.5ml for my second pen. They didn't question it at all. I have no side effects and good suppression and hearing others suffering on 5ml made up my mind. I also have a wedding in a few weeks which will co-incide with starting the second pen and no way do I want to be suffering then.

I am checking regularly to see if anyone uses my code but I definitely can't be dealing with the hassle of changing provider and doing all the photos etc.

I do like the coaching and the app on Voy too.

Well, I've lost 8lb now, in 9 days.

I'm on Week Two now.

Voy have asked me if I want to go up to 5mg, and I think I will. I'm struggling with food noise still in the evenings.

I've lost weight because I'm really, really trying. The MJ is helping but I'd like to try a treatment dose, to see if I stop thinking about food in the evenings.

@TheShellBeach I think the 5 is a good idea for you if you're still getting the evening food noise.

My VOY says dispatch today - I hope they do send a 2.5ml.

One of my super skinny colleagues just commented on my weight loss - she never ever ever does that so I must be looking slim :)

Ooh exciting!

Ooh my first test eating out at a pub I’ve not been to before and it wasn’t great. Very little of the menu was GF and I couldn’t find a chicken salad so chose a fritarta but it’s was so creamy & cheesy I couldn’t eat very much of it made me feel sick and I ate less than 10 chips. I really wanted a kids meal wish I’d asked for one as my portion size is so much smaller now.

That's good.
I found last Friday, when we went out for dinner, that I ate a lot less.

Yes! Mine are too 😮

Gosh...everyone is doing so well!

I did the 4 weeks on 2.5 plus the bonus dose on week 5 (using my teeth to do a hard twist) and lost 10lbs. Happy with that.

I thought I would stay on 3.75 for a couple of weeks but to be honest, it really did not do anything for me......less than 2.5!

Moved up to 5 yesterday and food suppression has been good. So far Ive had 2 coffees and a pan fried salmon steak. I'm definitely not hungry and have not had any bad side effects since taking it(fingers crossed!). Who knows what the next few days will bring??

However, I was at a BBQ on Friday. I had a burger (ate 3/4) a tiny amount of pasta salad, a tiny amount of coleslaw, a chicken wing and a small tray bake. And a Coke Zero. Friday night in bed I had the worst pains in my stomach. No V&D luckily but my god was I in pain!

Did I learn my lesson? Did I heck.....Saturday night I had pizza and dough balls. Same thing!

Have to say, I was glad to start the 5 on Sunday and get back to some food suppression.

It was a bit weird though. Although I've been eating sensibly, I have not really cut anything out. I'm still allowing myself a small bag of crisps or a freddo or something every now and then - no ill effects.
Also, been having bagels and still frying food in (minimal) butter or oil so I dont understand what caused the pains.

Zava code if anyone needs it.

Hi guys! Been following this and the previous thread a while but thought id pop in to ask the most important question i ever may need to ask... are you ready for it?

Someone please tell me these sulphur burps go away 😫 i cant deal with it, im burping then literally gagging as its so bad 🤦🏼‍♀️ i had absolutely no side effects until i took a 5mg dose last Friday... now im literally waking up in the night to burp and then gag 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've been eating so much less at dinner time. It amazes me.

And I am finding that I don't spend the entire evening thinking about food. I do have some food noise and I'm hoping that the 5mg/0.6ml dose will shut that up.

Mind you, I've lost 8lb in 9 days so far, so something is working.

@DazedAndKerfuddled I really struggle with them too. I seem to get them for a day followed by diarrhoea, they’re like a precursor to that.
I have taken peppermint capsules but honestly they’re not much better, burny minty sulphur burps.

Those of you who have done the bonus dose? Are you getting the full 0.6 amount?

Whooooooooooooooop someone used my Voy code! Thank you whoever you are

I got 0.7ml so just over
