Moun-June-ers 2024 continued

[Sewfrickinamazeballs]

Continuation thread for the June 2024 Mounjaro starters.

2nd jab 2.5mg day 3 and all going well.

Had two events at the weekend which I had little control over when I could eat (not that I want to, suppression is strong!). I had a little more food than last week but nothing like "normal", didn't even really want it but didn't wish to draw attention to myself to family and friends and have then questioning me, I'm not ready to tell anyone about the mj.

So back to my new normal now :) just had a hard boiled egg, some Greek yogurt, strawberries and chia seeds for brunch and planning on a beany stew tonight. Still not able to manage more than 2 meals and not snacking between either.

I'll be looking to order the next pen by the weekend, if I've responded this well to 2.5 with 7 days suppression and no side effects other than a little tiredness and thirst at first, would I be better to stay at 2.5 for another pen? I know i could always double up on doses if it wasn't hitting that sweet spot?

Got syringes arriving today ready for the bonus dose too.

Hi all.
My order has been approved.

I'm hoping it'll arrive tomorrow or Wednesday.

I'm looking forward to starting so much. I need to lose nearly 8 stone to get to a size 14.

And I've ordered some needles and syringes so that I can get the last dose out.

If you inject in the thigh how do you avoid muscle? My thoughts are quite slim in comparison to the rest of me. I’m a typical Apple.
I’ve been tummy injecting

Angle the needle obliquely.

I have quite fat thighs so not really a challenge for me! TheShellBeach's response is correct if it is something you need to consider.

Thanks for new thread. After a very busy weekend with reduced control over my eating times due to being at big event I’ve still lost this week so I’m super pleased as I had a stall for 3-4d of Week2 even sticking to 1200c on mfp & exercising every day. The food noise disappearing though is just life changing. I’ve just tried to order next pen with Zava but I’m stuck in waiting phase. I really hope it goes through ok as we go away on holiday Sat.

Thank you for the thread. My sickness has finally lifted.

Well done. My trajectory looks similar to yours currently 14.3.

I’ve had my third injection of 2.5mg, changed the injection site from stomach to arm, and still no appetite suppression. I’ve got a 5mg pen on the way so I’m quite tempted to just start on that next time rather than taking the final shot of 2.5mg.

Feeling really sorry for myself. Sorry this is TMI as ever! So I’m day 3/4 of my first 5mg.

I had a pretty yucky day on Saturday lots of hideous sulphur burps and diarrhoea.I’ve actually felt fine since but sadly whilst it’s not frequent like an actual bug, it gives little warning when it’s coming.

I was just getting my kids in the car after the school run and I had to race home. Which I just can’t deal with, I can’t wfh tomorrow…

I might have to take something for it.

Also gonna dip down to 3.75 next week I think.

@coffeeandteav glad you’re feeling better

@JomonotFomo thar does not sound pleasant! I hope you feel better soon

I think I’m going to stick on 2.5ml next month, 5ml sounds hardcore.

I worked out that if I do a 5th dose then the following week is when we are away for a wedding. I am contemplating missing a week and then starting the new pen when we get home. Is that dodgy?

I don't know how reasonable it would be to miss a week out.

I was wondering the same thing but have decided to carry on with no breaks, assuming I tolerate it.

Have done some googling and can’t find anything that says absolutely don’t. I think I’ll decide nearer the time

I guess if sticking to 2.5 it wouldn't matter that much as we start on 2.5 anyway.

Yes that’s a great point

Thanks for the new thread.

I’m 10 days in now. Haven’t had any awful side effects, it’s all within the range of bearable if it’s even noticeable.

I’ve lost 5lb since starting and had also lost 7lbs “on my own” before starting Mounjaro, but very slowly, so 12lb total which is enough to start feeling motivated to keep up new habits.

Now trying to work out whether my second pen will be 2.5 or 5. I’m going abroad around the time of what would be my 9th and 10th dose so wondering if stability of 2.5 is “safer” then ramp up when I’m back.

@Kilimounjaro thats great. Ramping up after sounds like a good plan.

I'm an obsessive weigh daily after my morning wee person and this morning it kept flickering between 0 and 1. So hopefully tomorrow will mark my first half stone loss!

4th due on Saturday, not sure when to reorder. I will go up to 5mg as I've had no side effects but my loss feels so slow.

Thanks for the new thread! Love reading how everyone is getting on. I had a rubbish last week on the 2.5. I actually put on 3lbs!! It was a bday week and we did have a Chinese and a teeny bit of cake. Wasn't expecting that much of a gain though.

I took my first 5 dose Sunday night and then had a bit of a panic attack which was horrible. But I felt much better after finally falling asleep and been fine since. This week I'm really concentrating on eating the right foods and upping the water. I did actually manage to run my first ever 5k over the weekend and it's really spurred me on to keep going so have booked myself on the park run this weekend. Lifestyle changes and all that 😅

I will say that since starting the 5 i really am not hungry at all. I eat because I have to which is so bizarre. This is why my slim family eat! I will be weighing Saturday morning. Have been a little clogged up these last couple of days too but hoping it doesn't last too long. Really trying to be positive about the 5's.

Week 5
SW 15st 6

GW 10st

OMG @Newme24 I didn't have my specs on when I read your post and I thought it said you'd had a teeny bit of coke.
😂

@TheShellBeach 🤣🤣 this is hilarious. It wasn't that kinda party. It was just a small bit of Colin the Caterpillar cake. Cake is my Coke! 😅

I've just got an email from Mounjaro saying if I'm getting nausea from M, to order some cyclizine from them!
