Mounjaro August thread 2

[DinnaeFashYersel]

Hi here's another thread.

Maybe it could be one slice from now on rather than three? Not that I'm saying three slices is wild, just that you may do better on less. That way you wouldn't have to abandon pizza completely!

4th 2.5mg dose last night - such a change in going from being ravenous yesterday to slowly picking at a protein yoghurt over 2 hours this morning. (Also very sad today due to some life stuff so that might be having an effect). I've got a bottle of Huel Black in the fridge just in case eating is a challenge for the rest of the day.

What about a low cal fakeaway pizza? Make your own with a wrap, tomato paste, cheese and whatever toppings you like?

Haven’t been able to RTFT, but anyone else on the max dose? I’m on week 2 of it and feel absolutely rubbish. I have flu-like body ache symptoms, nausea, no appetite nor desire for food…I take two bites and have to force myself to continue in order to get enough nutrition. I was hoping the side effects would fade but as this is week 2 now it’s not likely. I’m taking electrolytes which help with the body aches but honestly, it’s awful. I’ll be tapering back down a dose after this, but I have two more weeks left and not on the NHS so can’t really waste the money 😣

First week’s weigh in:

SW: 16 stone 3lbs
CW: 15 stone 5lbs

I’ve lost 12lbs! Over the moon as my monthly target was 11lbs

What do you mean the max dose? Carb/keto flu? Have a look into it!

What max does are you on ?

If started in august should only be on 2.5 possibly heading to 5 if started begin of aug

That's the good thing about joining a group for your month so posters will be around the same level tho obv some go up quicker then others

Well done @cosylife Similar to me. I know some of it is water But I haven't seen 15st for some years

Still feel nauseas. Hoping will start to drop off over day 3/4 as did last week

I feel sick if haven't eaten but also know need to eat so have a small breakfast.

Can't face lunch at moment so will have a protein shake

Oh sorry I thought this was just the August version of a long running thread 🫣 It’s the 15mg dose. I’ll have to try to figure out which thread to get on now.

Oh hang about, I've only taken my first 2.5 too, am I on the wrong thread?

Fantastic @cosylife! 15 is a lovely number.

No as you started in aug

Guessing you started April if on 15 now

I think I've realised what's caused it. I felt a bit bunged up yesterday so ate porridge. I'm very intolerant to porridge - I bought it purely because I thought it would come in handy to relieve constipation.

Well, it's worked.

Oh great. I'll get comfy then.

Starting weight 14st 9lb.

Feel ok so far, although I suspect that egg on toast for lunch was a bad idea. Terrified of eating, terrified of not eating! I've had 1.5l of water, my electrolytes, digestive enzyme and a hair and nails supplement, will take magnesium before bed.

The admin involved!

@Pinkjenny you're fine this is the starters thread.

I injected 3rd dose yesterday and I'm feeling really rough for the first time as I haven't really had any side effects yet. Maybe finally I'll be a bit off my food today 😂

I did indulge a bit last night. Curry takeaway, approx half of what I usually have, a glass of red wine and two pieces of chocolate. I feel gruesome today and could happily not bother at all. I really like that it makes you eat healthily. I will miss the occasional indulgence but the price is worth paying.

@MikanOrange ars you sure it’s not keto flu? Or just a bug?

I don’t think they’re sulphuric.. yet. My cat’s just moved away in disgust. I better take the dog out and trump away in privacy.

Another newbie and feeling a bit overwhelmed already! Mine has just arrived and I plan to start this evening. Wishing us luck!!

I cannot believe how well this second week has worked for me.

Ate breakfast at 8:30

9 hours later, 16k steps and we're about to get dinner and I'm not that hungry. Not the proudest of that as I know it's not healthy, however I also know the food at the event was awful and would have upset my stomach.

Day 6 of first dose today and I am hungry! Very hungry!

It must be wearing off for me now. I don't inject my 2nd dose until Monday morning.

Pizza is also off my menu which is a shame as I love it too!

Hope you're feeling better

I’m on a medication for urge and stress incontinence and I’ve been up a whole lot more in the night this last week as well.

Day 2 of week 2 for me today and it’s bedtime where I am and I still have 396 of my 1400 calories for today uneaten. Blimey!

@DinnaeFashYersel hi there, your username makes me think of my mum who died a very long time ago but I can still hear her comforting me many times throughout my life and saying - dinnae fashion yersel hen. And when she was saying it she’d be stroking my hair and brushing my fringe out of my eyes whilst the tears and the snots were tripping me. Even when I was big. Big like 40 years old. I’m 66 now and I still miss her.
