Just done my first every mounjaro injection !

[meteow]

And I've scared myself reading the threads about side effects !! Tell me I'm not going to shit myself !

How was the sushi ??

@Moier Welk done on your weight loss, that's huge ! Diet sounds good aswell. Do you find you're completely satisfied?

I had gestational diabetes with dd1 and so I had to learn to eat better following the GI diet, which I did so I'm glad I already know how to eat from that. Unfortunately I've just gained weight around my middle since having another dd and never really losing baby weight from dd1. And also chocolate and cans of coke are my problem ! Aka sugar.

So I don't really feel any different to be honest , which I'm glad of as don't want side effects but keep finding myself hungry on a late evening and still wanting cookies, which is disappointing.

I’m the same, tmi but my bowels have never been better - more regular and a lot less constipation. A good side effect of the Mounj 😂

@meteow it was nice. I ate one of those small packs from the supermarket, and a small pack of pineapple chunks .
That was it.
Felt like I had eaten huge meal.
Woke up not hungry but getting reflux pain .
I'm already on max doses of Omeprazole so will need to try to eat regularly but small amounts to try to control the reflux.
No desire whatsoever for alcohol last night ..most unlike me

I was an absolute sugar addict, anything and everything sweet, puddings, cakes, biscuits, wine.

I’ve been on it 90 days tomorrow, and in all that time I have eaten a single dessert on holiday, and I did not enjoy it, far too sweet. 3 months and one sweet thing.

This has been the single best thing about Mounjaro for me. Good luck.

No l don't have food noise at all.
I used to snack all the time.
But l honestly feel satisfied and full on what l eat.
I don't wake up hungry anymore .. used to be dying for my breakfast.
A cup of tea is all l want.
I used to get grumbling hunger belly noises late at night and go and make myself some toast or a sandwich and now l don't.
I'm sleeping so much better.
My 7.5 is arriving today.
So fingers crossed long may l continue.
I'm having my bloods dine next week and seeing my diabetic nurse.
Next year I've hopefully lost enough weight to have my hip replacement.
Good luck to you.

How long do you stay on each dosage amount for? (Ie is it 2 weeks of 2.5 and then up to 5 for another 2 weeks type thing?)

Official guidance is going up every four weeks.
But it's also advised if you're still getting good suppression and weight loss you can stay on same dose for another four weeks.
So you don't have to go up each time you buy a new pen.

I know it's only day 2 but I'm not sure it's working very well for me, I'm not snacking but certainly don't feel like my appetite is very suppressed!!

@meteow ...I'm literally not thought about food once today and definitely not hungry.
I've eaten half a yogurt pot, had one small glass of wine, two olives and half a small grains bowl thing from Sainsbury's.
Feel stuffed ..
I can see this is going to work

I'm the same. I've felt hungry at times today compared to yesterday. However, when I have eaten I'm full and done within a few mouthfuls so I think it's okay. If that's how it works most of the time I'll be happy. I don't want no appetite at all, I just want to eat a lot less and not snack on junk food.

Yes, I get this too.
Hungry occasionally but a very small amount will have me feeling full again. Sometimes just a cup of tea will do.
It's a revelation! I would usually grab another packet of crisps or a chocolate biscuit (or six).

I do feel full when I'm eating, I definitely can't eat the same portions as I could. Abd I'm not thinking about food the same. And yes I do still want an appetite as I don't want to end up poorly from lack of nutrients, I just wish the cookie craving would go lol

I was a bit hungry this morning, so had the cheesy egg bits from Starbucks and half a flat white...I'm soooooo full

So far today I've had 3 pieces of roast chicken and a third of a banana (eaten in 2 sittings) and I did a gym workout. Felt like I had a lot of energy at the gym this morning. I sometimes feel sluggish on a morning which is probably from night before snacking on junk so this is an improvement so far. I'm going to try an fit a protein shake in at some point this aft but can't face one just yet.

I’m feeling hungrier today but it’s jab day on Sunday so it’s to be expected. We do need the hunger so we can be more mindful about what we put in our faces 😂

I took my first dose Weds evening and haven't had any (known) side effects other than a headache but that could be other things.

I suffer with constipation (taking iron/other meds) and I've been regular rather than urgent!

I've not noticed much of a shift in appetite but I've craved less pepsi max and vape! Still ate 1600 cal yest.

I'm going to try a bike ride in a bit and have made myself eat some cereal bars so i don't get faint

Good to see everyone doing well 👍🏻

Today I've had a piece of toast and an apple for breakfast which is absolutely nothing for me I'd usually have Greek yogurt with granola and a piece of toast first thing.

Lunch was a bit of beetroot and a mini cheese block, you know them cathedral city snack cheeses. And I don't want anything else atm, if I carry on like this it should fall off me

I've had an on and off headache too

I'm not sure if the headache is part of it but sounds like a likely side effect tbh

I've got headache too.
Think it's not enough fluids tbh.
So after the cheesy egg bites (250 cals)...I didn't even think about food.
Dp went to get fish and chips...I had four chips, half chicken breast and mouthful of salad.
Had sip of wine and decided I didn't fancy it.
I don't think I can resist the scales tomorrow morning.

I'm really intrigued by other threads were people are eating upwards of 1600 calories a day .
This was my worry as I don't lose weight unless I'm on 1200 and under. So I didn't think mj would work ..but it really has.

Hows everyone getting on ? I've weighed myself this morning and if I've worked it out correctly I think I've lost 9 pounds !! I do feel abit less bloated

Morning. I'm holding off weighing until tomorrow. I feel less bloated though and I swear my stomach is a bit flatter.

Woke up feeling quite hungry and yesterday I was able to eat larger portions than I have the rest of the week so I can tell it's wearing off.

I've just had my first dose a couple of
hours ago. I'm mainly concerned about insomnia as I don't sleep well anyway. I
Must have three or four stone to lose but haven't dared weight myself. Fingers crossed.
I remember a time when I didn't think about food and now it has such a major place in my thoughts and priorities, it can't be healthy.
I'm looking forward to taking up my hobbies again and having time and energy for life!
