Mounjaro August newbie

[OlympicsFanGirl]

Just started.

Would be great to hear from others who are just starting.

First injection was was 28th July. No side effects so far. Appetite is decreasing but not as much as I've seen on other threads.

4 stone at least to lose.

I'm going to use this thread to give myself an online record.

I've had hiccups loads but hadn't attributed it to the jabs!

End of day 5 and I've definitely noticed the snacky feeling returning, however I'm still well within my calories and I'm due on in a few days so it could well be that

Day 5 following 2nd injection.
Couldn't finish my breakfast this morning but overate the rest of the day unfortunately.
Went out for lunch. Had a mixed grill, followed by ice cream at the cinema and then a sandwich baguette & packet of crisps for tea.
Haven't snacked in-between so that that's something I suppose.
Feel a bit bloated but nothing major.
My 2nd pen (5mg) was delivered on Friday from Med Express. Only took 2 days to come from ordering this time.
Decided I am not going to take the jab a day early like last week. I can't keep taking it at 6 days!.
Considering going to the gym tomorrow morning. I need to get back into my routine of 3 x a week. I kept it up for 4 months prior to May but then went on holiday and it fell apart.

I am considering doing this as well, or at least a 3.75 for my 4th.
Not had bad side effects so hopefully it will be OK.

No hiccups but very burpy. My second injection is due tomorrow and I've not felt the need to snack (apart from 6 cashew nuts one of the days). If I start to feel a bit hungry, I drink more water or have a decaf coffee with a scoop of collagen powder and soya milk.

I'm very very burpy too! And not to be tmi but they're big burps. Not noticing the sulphur burp thing yet though thank goodness

So just back from the BBQ of Dreams and am happy to report I barely ate anything. Two small sausages, spoonful of cous cous, spoonful of garlic potato salad and a handful of green salad. Had one, yes one, small profiterole and said no to the cream. There was just so much yummy stuff but I just wasn't bothered. Honestly, it's like witchcraft.

Also had hiccups but didn't link it to MJ!

So do you remember my volatile friend with the birthday at the end of the month? I told her today, and turns out she's planning on starting after her birthday! So she's got my Voy code! 🤣 so will stick with Voy while it's cheap, then switch away too. Unimpressed after hearing everything here!

Weigh in this morning. I seemed to lose when I weighed at the beginning of the week then it went back up and hovered around the same half pound all week, but has finally gone right down this week.

Ridiculously precise stats just cos that’s what it says on my scales ….

SW - 15 st 2 lbs
CW - 14 at 7.5 lb

Week 1 - 5.5 lb loss
Week 2 - 3 lb loss

8.5lb loss in total in 2 weeks.

Delighted!

I'm now at 19st 12.2lbs!

My nutracheck app has me starting at 20st11lbs, so I'm gonna roll with that as my starting weight 🤣 that means 12.8lbs gone in a week. I'm shocked!!

Great job @AuntieDote . So nice to be a few weeks in now and have a bit of a bigger total number isn’t it !

Wow that’s amazing, you must be thrilled 🌟

@Hollietree so happy!! This is the longest I've stuck to a deficit without "cheating", I'm definitely hungrier as I'm coming up to the end of the week but I can also turn it off a lot easier - I baked yesterday and didn't pick at it at all! I never thought something like this would work for me, I never wanted to consider it before but now I wish I had done months ago!

I fully expect it to slow down next week, I'm away at the end of the week and due on so I think I could even see a small gain but I'm not going to let that deter me

Another night or constant weeing every hour /2 hrs. I'm shattered

Anyone else has this weird symptom ?

Hi there, but did you really weigh 20 stone 11 pounds the day you started a week ago or is that a weight from a couple of months ago and you perhaps weighed less than 20st11lbs last week.

I only ask as it’s not doing you or anyone else here any good if you haven’t lost the weight you’ve posted.

Also, are you the poster who had trouble with your provider?

Thanks @Wingingit11 - it really is, just feels so motivating!

I had to smile last night. DH wanted burgers and so we got some really good waygu ones. He made them, got fresh rolls from the bake away, did homemade chips - sauces condiments the works. I just had a plain burger with salad. No way in hell I would ever have done that before - whatever diet I might have been doing, I’d have either had the full works but told myself it’s fine and I’ll just not eat the next day (but then inevitable have to and hate myself for it) or I’d have had the full works and then thought sod it I’ve blown it now and followed it up with whatever sweet stuff I could find in the cupboard, diet over until next time I decided to try again. I’m not even that arsed about burgers, it’s not my kind of ‘treat’ food even when I wasn’t dieting, only have them when it’s DH’s turn to chose the Friday night tea. But if we were having them in the past I’d have had the full works just because!

Thing is, wasn’t even a particularly conscious choice. I just didn’t want the other stuff, was perfectly happy with what I had and didn’t feel deprived in any way. Could probably easily have fit the bun and a few chips into my calorie allowance but chose not to, instead having some fruit and Greek yoghurt a bit later whilst watching a film - which I enjoyed far more.

Amazing progress @NeedSomeAnswersPlease - well done,

@Blondeshavemorefun i am weeing a lot more, it’s settled down since the first week though. I guess it’s some water retention coming out, plus the medication does give me a bit of a dry mouth so I’m drinking far more water.

@AnnieMcFanny I weighed myself Sunday morning and Monday night (just after taking the jab), I can't remember which way round each of them was so I'm going to go with the one on nutracheck as I had put that one in there for a reason!

I did but I've sorted the problems now

Here's a new thread as this one comes to an end

Mounjaro August thread 2 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weight-loss-injections/5144843-mounjaro-august-thread-2?msgid=-5144843#-5144843

I also measured my waist Monday and I've lost three inches off it so obviously there is weight coming off!

Not quite that bad but I am weeing loads. Still don't think I am drinking enough either!

Well done to everyone’s losses!!!! After reading all your guys info on second pen I got notification that my subscription will renew on Friday……..£215………think I’ll be changing 🙈🙈🙈

Super losses @AuntieDote and @NeedSomeAnswersPlease . It’s such a boost when you see the numbers heading in the right direction,
Those seeing a lot- have you cut down on processed carbs? Carbs require water in the body so create water retention more than other macro. If you cut them down, whoosh, all the water departs. Annoyingly, it does seem to happen more at night!

I’ve lost quite well but not seeing it yet. Hoping my waist starts to shrink- I look permanently pregnant and have for several years.

On day 3 of week 1, I have definitely noticed constant weeing! My bladder currently seems to have the capacity of a thimble, which is vexing. Had a banging head when I woke up and felt very grumpy, but about half an hour ago it occurred to me that I felt slightly lively/alert - which is a very novel feeling. I hope that stays around

@AuntieDote glad it's not just me

Daytime is ok but nights. Omfg

I'm shattered from being woken up so much

I do drink water but I've always drank water and never weed so much at night
