Moun-June-ers 2024 continued

[Sewfrickinamazeballs]

Continuation thread for the June 2024 Mounjaro starters.

Same here re Voy, we must be on the exact same schedule!

My meal re-jigging tactic seems to have worked - my salad lunch hit the spot and I've had no snacks this afternoon. Pleasantly hungry for dinner this evening but not chewing my arm off.

@mandarindreams YAY! An MJ buddy!!

Just got home from work to find Voy have sent me…….
An empty box.
I’m pretty pissed off.

Oh no! Sorry this has happened to you, how disappointing. Was there anything else inside at all?? I have seen a few posts where people have had boxes tampered with. Hipefully you get this resolved asap

What a total pain @Thanksforyourlackofthought . Hopefully they sort it out quickly.

Separately: I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks in a wide variety of sleeping situations and I'm intrigued to notice I'm really noticing lumpy beds more. I think because I sleep on my side and my hips are presumably getting less squishy. I remember this being a problem when I was thin but I'm not back to that weight yet and I had really completely forgotten it.

There was just an orange plastic empty box.
im so fed up. They came back to be right away and said they’ve shipped another but I’m leaving again very early Monday morning and not back until Friday so hope it comes tomorrow or Saturday.

Argh my hands have been freezing cold all day.
That's a side-effect, isn't it?

@TheShellBeach yep. Cold hands and feet. Although that could possibly be just the English summer we are currently ‘enjoying’!

@Thanksforyourlackofthought ahhh shit! That’s rubbish. I have read nothing but good things about them until the last couple of days (and my own experience has been good!) but have seen a few complaints recently.
Hope that isn’t a sign of things to come for current customers😩

Is anyone being bothered by reflux? I’ve noticed it this week after my third 2.5 dose.

I’ve had years struggling with reflux but I have no gallbladder. If your eating a lot less @SarahB88 it takes. a couple of weeks for bile production to adjust. A plain lower fat and non spicy diet and no wine help me. I have taken omeprazole to help but I found once I started taking it I couldn’t get off it & it’s not good for long term use. Gaviscon helps too.

Three people have used my code so I get my next pen free!!

@Thanksforyourlackofthought thats awful! I hope they’re giving you the pen free?? Fingers crossed it arrives.

Out last night and no Prosecco so ended up drinking weak rose spritzers with soda water and lots of ice in big glasses. I think I had 4 and I feel ok today. I also took charcoal tablets before and after. The spritzers are great though because you can make the glass last ages.

i had loads of comments about “looking well” at the event which was lovely

Woohoo! Moved down into the next stone: 16st 13lb this morning.

Now lost 1 and a half stone.

Yes I get some of that. Especially just after the dose.

Had 3rd 5mg last night and I am absolutely sick today. It is really bad. I can't even have a coffee. Not actually been sick but feel so much nausea.

I can't move down as the supression only last three days. I don't know if I can feel like this every week though.

Weigh day is tomorrow.

Friday weigh in after my second 5mg dose and I’m down to 14.1.

SW: 15st 12lb
CW: 14st 1lb

This weeks loss was 3lb! Total gone so far 1st 11lb so so close to 2st gone!!!

Morning everyone, I’ve been lurking and now posting as it’s week 3 jab day for me 🙂

I’m on 2.5 and losing steadily at around 3lb per week. I’m finding it easy to stick to my TDEE target calories of 1,370 per day using Nutracheck to log everything. I haven’t made major changes to my diet as I just wanted to see how Mounjaro worked for me on its own, iyswim.

i have had nausea and been sick once. I’m constipated, which isn’t unusual for me, so taking physillium husk. I’ve also just started making protein shakes with added marine collagen and adding some frozen fruits and spinach (quite nice). Worst side effect is fatigue though, I am drinking plenty of water and fluids. I’ve decided to stick with 2.5 next month as I’m losing steadily and don’t want worse side effects. I get my pens from Med Express.

SW (5’ 3”) - 13st 7.6lb (21/06/24 - I managed to lose 5lb low cal that week without MJ, mostly water weight I think)

MJ start date 28/06/24
MJ wk1 - 13st 2.6lb
MJ wk2 - 12st 13.8lb (-2.8lb)
MJ wk3 - 12st 10.6lb (-3.2lb)

NSW - picking up a pack of cheesy tasters in M&S and then putting them back as I really didn’t want them 😁

Oh boy!

Also, I’m 58 and post-menopausal which may be why I lose weight slowly now, not that I think losing 3lb per week is slow - for me it’s a great result 🙂

I asked if the meds would arrive today or tomorrow as no point if after and received an email saying they’d send me a tracing number on dispatch which obviously didn’t answer my question so now trying to call them and have been on hold since 9am so currently 15 minutes.
I am really not impressed at all. £139 for an empty box.

They don’t seem very bothered to be honest.

I started at 85 kg 7 weeks ago.
I'm now on day 5 of my 3rd 5mg jab.
I am so blessed. Have had absolutely no side effects.
Have extremely problematic IBS which has calmed down beyond belief. Probably because there is hardly any food in my stomach.

I am just virtually unable to eat more than two spoonfuls of anything at a meal. As an example, tried to join adult kids for a fancy breakfast out this morning. They all tucked into full English/berry pancakes etc .. I had a poached egg on half an English muffin (child's order ) and managed just over half.

Is that normal ? It's not like I'm denying myself , I just really am uninterested. (Even had to spit last mouthful into a napkin as I couldn't swallow it...) ..

I am just taking very little on board. Am aware I should probably be taking a supplement. ATM that's just a multivitamin. Does anyone else have any supplements to recommend ?

Sorry forgot to say.. now 78kg. New order due. Am thinking of staying on 5mg as it seems to work for me. Is that also normal. ?

I’ve noticed that people seem to be having problems with Voy and Zava now. It’s one of the main reasons I’ve decided to stick with Med Express, despite their lack of codes. I hope you manage to get things sorted @Thanksforyourlackofthought

Good morning guys

I finally had a day yesterday free of sulphur burps... only to be due my next jab today so really hoping it was a one off or its at least a lot milder this week. I tried all the suggestions and some but nothing worked, just had to ride it out, not very excited about this coming week lol

Fingers crossed for a good week for all 🤞
