Just ordered my first pen of Mounjaro

[FlopFlaps]

I ordered my first pen of mounjaro. Decided to use Zava in the end - partly because they are apparently the ones supplying Asda and Super drug, but the cost direct was cheaper. I did use a discount code, but that wasn't the deciding factor.

It felt too easy to order at first - no proof required, etc. But then got the email asking for photos and felt more reassured.

I was taking ozempic last year, and I would say I wasn't very mindful of what I ate. I 💩 myself a couple of times, and even vommed once in a park. Mortifying. And the sulphur burps 🤢

Obviously don't want to be in that position again. Last year I was WFH every day so it was less embarrassing, but now I work in an office 4 days a week. I can't be 💩 myself again 🙈

Any advice for what foods to avoid? Any supplements it might be good to take? I do heat Mounjaro has fewer side effects. Has anyone who has done both found that to be the case.

I did lose about 2 stone on ozempic but then there were supply issues and I was paying over £200 for the starter dose with My Juniper.

There is lots of information on the weight loss boards,
avoid high fat, rich foods. Avoid fried foods.

i find it harder to eat 3 meals a day, as suppression of food noise and feeling full stop me wanting to eat.

i have 1 piece of seeded bread, high protein foods, soups and protein drinks to maintain food intake. Fruit and vegetables.

i have little or no desire for cakes, chocolate etc

Did you find the appetite suppression happened quickly with the first dose or was it when you got to the next dose?

I found it happened really quickly, within a day. I take my jab first thing in the morning, but I know others take at night, so it doesn’t seem to make a difference

H here is a thread for August starters.No need for everyone to start their own!

I'm on my second week of Mounjaro and feel bloody awful.
First week was fine. Second jab Thursday morning and since Thurs evening I've had the squits, feel nauseous, and worn out. I can't stop sleeping.
I'm seriously considering whether to take the third jab next Thurs as
I can't live like this.

That sounds so tough. I remember the nausea and fatigue with ozempic. I ideally don't want the same.

Hopefully these side effects are short lived for you

Thanks Flop.

I forgot to mention the wind too. Both ends ☹️💨

How long did it take for your order to be processed with Zava? I ordered yesterday and sent photos in at about 3pm but it's still sat at processing. Worried they will reject me! (Even though I definitely meet the criteria!)

They can take a few days, don't worry, that's normal for Zava ❤️

Don't worry! I panicked too - I ordered over the bank holiday (so obviously wasnt processed until business hours), i was approved yesterday and received the pen today. Was so quick in the end! Packaged so well. I used My Juniper before for ozempic and the box was always HUGE but this was more compact, includes extra needles (people talk about there being a 5th dose). And then it was in a proper cool bag thing.

Thanks ladies, I'm just keen to get started whist my head is in the zone! ❤️

I just got mine today..I’ve lost a bit of weight on my own recently just cutting back on sugary stuff so no cakes chocolate etc and I feel so much better am eating better so am hoping this will continue on the Mounjaro and not too many side effects, taking tomorrow after work as I’m a nurse so rather not feel crap at work. Gives me the weekend to see how I feel. Good luck op

Op did you keep off the 2 stone you lost previously with ozempic?

I thought I regained all the weight I lost but I just had a look on MFP. Turns out I am now a stone lighter than my highest weight. I had lost 3 stone actually on ozempic, but have now regained 2. I wasn't weighing myself often because I was really in denial about my weight.

While I was on ozempic I hadn't changed my eating habits - as in, I was eating less, but I was still making terrible choices. Then when I came off it, I had a lot of stuff going on in my life, so I really wasn't in the mindset to diet. So I don't think my situation represents what a typical person would do when they came off the medication.

I took mine this morning - and I have felt fine all day. I haven't had the urge to binge - but not sure if that's a placebo effect.

So glad I read this post, I ordered mine on Friday & nothing arrived yet. Logged into my order to see a message hidden away asking me if I had thyroid problems. I’d already answered those questions. Will have to make sure and log in daily to check for updates.

Mine has just been approved!

I weighed today and have lost a few pounds by myself, just through not snacking and making better choices. I'm excited and nervous in equal parts!

Good luck! I am day 2 and I do have a headache today despite drinking lots of water. But I don't mind headaches - it's the nausea/diarrhea I really want to avoid.

I'm also weeing so much. Worried people at work will notice 🤣

ffs @en19 nobody wants your code on these threads. Stop posting on old threads and use the dedicated referral thread.

@flopflaps I went with Zava aswell but cant find a discount code anywhere I've just paid 179 for another 5mg this week

I'm not looking for a code before anyone says anything i was just saying I can't find 1 I've already bought my jag for this month
