Starting mounjaro 15th July, anyone else?

[ToriMJ]

It's in the fridge and I'm going to take the plunge on Monday!
Feeling really nervous about it all. Anyone due to start next week too?
Tori

I have no desire to eat breakfast. Definite difference for me there as normally I'd be planning toast or muesli with fruit and yoghurt and relishing it

At work all day on my feet today so will see how it goes.
Got a small sandwich for
lunch and a graze box.

Dont feel hungry enough for break so far. Just having a coffee x

I had 2 ryvita seeded thins with Philadelphia and smoked salmon, just a small amount but was delicious and felt like plenty.
I'm not fancying my usual 10 cups of decaf coffee a day and am drinking lots of peppermint tea instead.

My pen has just arrived! Working up the courage now to use it 😱

@slummymummy35 its really easy and a game changer.

dont hesitate to put your best foot forward and join us losers 😂

🤣🤣🤣 yes just go for it @slummymummy35

Morning all!

I've just started today, I was a bit nervous injecting myself for the first time but it was actually fine.

That was about an hour ago and no nausea so far.

I'd just like to stop thinking about food.

Day 3 (jagged Sunday night)

Woke up feeling hungry 😧 had a caramel protein shake with a shot of coffee (just tastes like a Carmel iced latte) and don't feel hungry now!

Hoping that does me til afternoon... don't feel that horrible tired way today either so far thankfully!

When I was in the shower getting washed my face felt less like a ball and more like a face so that was nice think it might all be placebo but that's fine as long as stops me from binge eating!

Hope everyone gets on well today 😊

Go for it @slummymummy35 ! Mine is on its way today. Really hoping it is here before 1230 as I need to leave and want to get the injection done first to get it out the way!

Well. Yesterday was day 4 and while I wasn't particularly hungry, I was thinking about food a lot, snacking, eating too much and making poor choices including about 15 crackers with cheese and two helpings of ice cream 😳
Plus lunch was healthy but dinner was burger and chips, homemade by DH but not ideal. And I barely drank any water.

I thought either the drug was wearing off, or I'd been kidding myself and it hadn't worked at all at 2.5mg, or it was never going to work for me, ££££ down the drain, yet another failure and destined to be fat for the rest of my life 😞

Just weighed to see what the damage is and I am down another pound from yesterday morning
😲🤪

So I am going to stop thinking about it, only weigh once a week, try to eat well, do a bit of fasting because I like it, and a bit of (v gentle) exercise, but not beat myself up if I don't. And I'm going to find other things to do with myself while MJ does its thing, whatever that is. I feel like I need to just get on with my life instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting to be thin iykwim.

Currently I am 3.3lbs down and end of wk 1 weigh day is Saturday 💪

Ok ok I'll do it 🤣 my husband is working at 2pm and I want to go for a run at lunchtime so I'll do it after 2 and report back. Excited and nervous.

I had my usual breakfast plus a slice of toast this morning. Didn’t finish it, no snacks on top, and I feel fine.

i was just really conscious of not feeling as bad as I did yesterday

but I’m at home again today so much less pressure

water water water… need to drink water as my system is grinding to a halt. Constipation is a known side effect so will have to be careful about this

I started my period yesterday so wondering if that's why I've not seen any movement on the scales (yet)..

No food noise, and managing to exercise. Slept really well too!

Mine arrived and first dose done! Felt a little apprehensive just before but didn’t feel a thing and it was so easy to follow, probably having read about so many of you guys doing it already helped!

I've done it!
After months of putting off because of the price, I finally bit the bullet and ordered the pen at the weekend. It was delivered yesterday and I have injected this morning.

Currently no side effects or effects on my appetite but hopefully it starts working soon.

@ineedteanownotlater i felt a bit burpy at the end of my first day, and yesterday was bad, but that was partly self inflicted because I didn’t eat enough

today is good

food noise - that’s gone! It IS like a shot of will power

must drink more water… 🤣

@MzHz I'm always a bit burpy! Mainly due to the amount of Pepsi max I drink!

Will go and fill up my water bottle now so I stay on top of that.

I did it! It was actually super easy. Although I almost messed up as I didn't realise there were 2 caps on my pen and only took the first off 🤣🤦‍♀️

So far I've had my first break at lunch ate a banana and my sandwich so approx 400 calls

Second break now is a cappuccino and a graze box. I feel comfortable. Usually is but a pastry but dont feel the craving Finishing at 7 so just soup when I get home. I'm hoping to come in at approx 1200 Cals today

I do feel like some of my water bloating is going but I'm not weighing till Friday. 🤞

Well done @slummymummy35

Has anyone else been really sleepy? Thankfully I'm not at work toast and don't have the kids so I've been able to nap. I've gotten absolutely nothing done though.

Not sure whether it's the mounjaro or just life catching up with me.

I do think it's working already. I haven't felt hungry, though I did start to feel a bit feel hangry. I was able to go for chicken & avocado salad rather than crisps!

I started last night. It's definitely working, I've had a small breakfast and lunch, didn't want a snack and I'm not ravenous for dinner.

Well done @slummymummy35 and all who have joined the journey

@gimmemounjaro i agree that refocusing on life and letting me do its thing is really helpful.

I start obsessing about weight loss etc and remind myself this is not a magic pill/jab that makes me lose weight. It’s a chance to reset my eating and how I think about food.
I imagine I will be doing this for a year at least as I want this to change my life! 🙏

I am adamant about changing habits. I'm also frightened about stopping and going straight back. To be fair my weight has only really got bad since covid so I'm hoping to reset and maintain without using this.

Drinking lots. Lunch was a banana again. No idea on calories or even how to count. Most food is homemade so how do you do it?
