Starting mounjaro 15th July, anyone else?

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

So I took it at 4pm
Random but I was putting it off and just thought I need to get started
so just queasy I’m not going to be sick just have waves of feeling it

Mine is in fridge- looking to start Monday.

already set up the scales

so the idea is protein protein protein
light meals etc

so I think I know what I’m eating for breakfast initially, lunch too, bit stumped for dinner ideas tho - something like a small chilli con carne with rice ?

Dropping 20kg would be wonderful. I’m so fed up of being fat and heavy.

Injected last night. Came away thinking I hadn't done it right!

I made sure I had bran flakes and fruit for breakfast. Realised at 2pm I hadn't had lunch, usually I would be starving at 10am for a quick snack.

I'm so "full" right now I could easily miss dinner but I'm prepared with a light chicken salad which will get eaten around 7pm.

I've been sipping water all day.

Starting tomorrow, feeling strangely nervous. All the 'what ifs' going round in my head. 10% of my body weight would be 8kg so that's what I'll aim for, apparently the health benefits become significant at 10%.

Hey there, best of luck on your weight loss journey! If you have the time take a look at Ketogenic Woman on youtube, I find her really inspiring. https://www.youtube.com/@KetogenicWoman

I am taking my second dose today. It's not as scary as it looks when you rotate to the 1!

Those of you who have jabbed, did you do anything to prepare? I've seen a few tiktoks where people suggest eating certain things on the day.

No, nothing. The only thing I did was take it before bed

Can I join? I started on Tues. so far had no side effects other than felt a bit sick first day but not sure if that was overthinking! But I’ve had no appetite suppression at all. Am gutted. Hoping the next dose might help

Good luck, let us know how it goes :)

You too. I'm hoping this is the missing piece for me in what has been a life time of being overweight.

Me too. I feel like I'm 60 not 40, so uncomfortable in many small ways.

Sounds like you e got it well planned!

Yes so many what ifs, but the only way to know is to try.
I'm worried I'll be one of the unlucky ones with the terrible side effects but will have to just suck it and see

Thanks will check it out

How has your first week been?

I'm starting tomorrow. Eeeeek

Eek indeed! How are you feeling about it?

I’m closer to 60 than I am 50 and I feel like the metabolism is out of control atm, I’m sure it’s hormones but I can’t fight it any more and tbh, I don’t know the right stuff to know what to do myself

I feel the same as I did when I desperately wanted to give up smoking, I just want this craving to stop, I don’t want to think about it anymore

I’m so glad we have this thread, we’re not alone and MN is at its finest when we support each other

Following as thinking of buying my first pack!

Can I join - I did my first injection yesterday. Have been just as hungry and eating the usual rubbish until this afternoon, so 24 hrs after. Now I'm not at all hungry even though I haven't had any dinner.

I was glad to hear of the PP's DD who feels a bit sad for a couple of days as I have been pretty irritable and emotional today 😬

Hopefully that will be better tomorrow 🤞

Hi there
I did my first injection today 💉

I’m feeling ok so far, and could only eat half of my dinner this evening

I’m feeling positive

I started this week. So far all good. Some appetite suppression and tiredness. I injected before going to bed.

A mix. Fearful of side effects, frightened of being discovered as I haven't told anyone. Mostly relieved because I have some hope. I'm sick of always going up a size in clothing only to find everything tight. I'm sick of bending over to do shoes up and my tum being in the way. Sick of judgement, feeling unlovely...etc
