Mounjaro September Support

[poppy80]

I've just started this morning after months of research. Feeling nervous but excited. Any other new or existing users want to join support and share successes?

Thank you for starting the thread! I was approved yesterday so am waiting for my first pen to be delivered. I'm excited and nervous too.

I'm thinking about this. May I ask- did you go through an online pharmacy? How was the process?

I researched and read about the different medications and used MN users for advice as well. I bought mine from Voy and have my telephone consultation on Tuesday. I am nervous about side effects but am going to see how I get on.

Did my first injection on Friday afternoon. So far just tired and not as hungry as usual. Also a few acid burps after eating. Nothing major though.

I've ordered it yesterday but only have 2/3 stone to lose! BMI is 30.
12s10 at 5ft4. Ideal weight 9s7-10 stone. (Size 10)
I'm wondering if I'll even be approved. I'm really hopeful that I will.
I've tried everything diet wise and know how to cook healthily/count cals/check macronutrients/sleep more exercise eat less. Nothing seems to stick for more than a week!

Ordered from Asda.

Good morning. I took my first dose last night. I then didn't sleep well and was dreaming about side effects and food when I did nod off!

Feel a bit sicky this morning and really tired.

I am 16stone 5 and aiming for 11 and a half stone. I really hope it works for us all!!

I'm going to start a week on Thursday. I wfh normally but have an office and customer visit this week and next. Because of possible side effects I've decided to start a week on Thursday.

My bmi is 35.

I'll be sticking up on vitamins, electrolytes and protein etc this week in preparation

I've got mine in the fridge ready to go! Plan on starting tomorrow. A bit nervous about injecting, but given everyone else seems to manage okay, I hope it won't be that bad.

I'm 5'5", 15 stone and need to lose almost 1/3 of my body weight to get to a healthy BMI. That feels impossible, even with MJ. But even a couple of stone off would be an achievement!

I'd worked myself up massively about injecting but it was so easy. The instructions are really easy to follow. Honestly, don't worry!

Thank you for post. I have my first mj pen in the fridge and will inject today. I’m a little nervous

Hi i started thursday evening and only this morning has the not feeling hungry kicked in (i have been good)🙂 starting weight 20st 5 lb i have a long way to go first goal 15 st

I started this morning. I have around 5 stone to lose so its going to be a long process. I need to get my BMI to 35 (currently 39.4) to have surgery but hope to continue until in a decent weight range even if it is the higher end of normal.

Does anyone know of an app etc that you can record your progress? Not just weight but body measurements etc.

I've been on MJ since late April. Lost 28lbs . Feel absolutely brilliant. I've had very few side effects (constipation) . Avoid fatty greasy food. Eat high protein and lots and lots of veg. I try and avoid processed food . I avoided alcohol for the first 2 months but now have a few glasses of wine if I fancy it. And drink tons of water/squash . I'm sticking with 5mg as it's working slowly with no adverse effects. Good luck ...I couldn't be happier 😁

I'm starting today as well have already lost 1 and a half stone via SW but have been slowly gaining again (had lost 2 stone 4 lbs)

SW 243 pounds
CW 222 pounds
GW 182 pounds
Height 5 ft 6
Age early 50s

My downfall is alcohol/snacks/eating out at weekends.

Wishing everyone a good week.

Hello, can I join in? Have been thinking about it seriously for about 4 months and finally placed my order yesterday.
CW 16st 8lbs
H 5ft 8in
GW 12 stone
Heading rapidly towards 50 and just annoyed at my inability to maintain weight loss.

Hello! I’ve found my tribe.

I took my first dose on Friday. I’m terrified of needles so quite proud of myself. It was ok and I’m not dreading doing the next one.

I felt a bit bloated after dinner last night but haven’t noticed much else. To be honest, I eat healthily anyway, it is the wine and beer I glug which is the problem. I have still had a couple of glasses of wine both nights but hope I go off it… that is already cutting down for me though. I get an awful headache if I cut back too quickly anyway.

I am 5’2 and starting weight is 12 stone 7

Just ordered my first pen via MedExpress after deliberating for months! Waiting on their approval now so fingers crossed.

BMI of 36 :-(

My order has been confirmed so collecting Tuesday! I'm really nervous as I don't take any medication usually - for anything! I feel like I need this though, I'm great at maintaining a weight usually but due to stress and having a child, I let my weight creep up.

I've been waiting for a thread I can join!

Hi all, had my first injection on Tuesday - finally I have had enough of being this way and being miserable about how I look. I've hit 40 and just got divorced (at last) - this is finally my time! No real suppression yet, just some nausea but I also had a stomach bug a week ago so could still be that 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've got a long way to go so I'm here for the long haul but it's wondeful to feel motivated. Using Noom to record food and control calories, really like it so far although I'm doing weekly weigh ins not daily. Roll on Tuesday for first weigh in and second jab!

SW - 18st
GW - 11st

Can I join too please? Just in the process of confirming my order. Feel quite nervous but I know it’s the way forward, hopefully 🤞🏻 Good luck everyone!

Well here I am 21st 9lb waiting for the postman with my first order. I’m already a diet yo-yoer so fed up with my weight as it just doesn’t want to leave me since the menopause has hit. I’m a different shape my belly is getting huge this means even wiping my arse is so difficult. My food obsession is I love it so much I never know I’m full until it’s uncomfortable. I suffer from reflux if I eat fatty food late at night which is so painful at night from the burning on my lungs. Why do we do this to ourselves ? Why don’t we learn ? Well this is the last diet ever because today I’m eating the way I’m going to eat for the rest of my life. Smaller potions less white carbs and less sugar but with no restriction just reduction

I started last Sunday so due my second injection today. Much less worried about it than I was this time last week!!
I've felt mostly fine. A little heartburn and a slightly upset stomach one day but federally absolutely fine.

I just find it harder and harder to lose weight. I really do think I’m genetically predisposed to gaining weight easily. I eat fairly healthily, don’t drink any alcohol and am on my feet at work all day.
I know the only way I lose weight is to cut all carbs and reduce calorie intake right down, but it’s just not sustainable. It’s also just not working like it used too either! I know if I’m stressed or had disturbed sleep my brain goes “eat, eat, eat” and just never feels sated.
I want the food noise to just stop.

Did my first dose Friday afternoon. Have felt a bit sicky on and off but nothing major. Definitely cannot eat the portion sizes that I used to and don’t really feel hungry nor do I want to snack at all.

Hi there! I'm thinking very hard about starting this. But I'm so so scared about injecting myself. Does it hurt? Where do people inject? Sorry for the questions!
