Mounjaro October starters

Hi,
I've taken the plunge and ordered Mounjaro through MedExpress. My prescription was accepted today and as long as it arrives in time I plan to start on Thursday (my birthday is on Wednesday 😂😂). I thought I would start a thread for any new starters if anyone is interested 😊

Wow! That's amazing! How are you feeling generally?

ohforfoxs · 03/10/2024 08:12

I'm worried about tiredness mainly - still waiting for my call from Juniper so I can get things moving

Officially I am due my second 2.5mg jab tomorrow, but I’m away for the weekend without a fridge so have taken the second dose a day early. I’ve had no side effects yet and a very amenable level of suppression so hoping it doesn’t bite me in the arse.

Have also done my official first weigh in a day earlier - I’m down 7.5lbs. That’s obviously not going to be sustainable but nice to see and good for the motivation!

That's amazing well done!

loulougall · 03/10/2024 08:27

I purchased and was accepted yesterday, dispatched today so fingers crossed I can start next week! I've loved reading the success stories and it's really helped out my mind at ease too!

Generally good, like I normally would if I was trying to lose weight / eat better / throwing a tonne of water down me. But it’s EASIER as I’m as hungry.

@LanieM87 amazing, well done! How are you feeling?

I've just taken my first jab. So excited to have started this journey

Thank you!

I've been feeling good! It's a weird feeling really, I've been eating all my meals, but just much smaller portions.

Touch wood no side effects!

How exciting! How are you feeling now?

DandelionPockets · 03/10/2024 10:00

So update on how I'm feeling. I did the jab last night about 8pm. Slept like a log, but woke up feeling really sleepy. Ok now that I'm up and about. Do not feel hungry at all for breakfast, but ate a bit of toast. Need to remind myself today to keep up on water intake.

Anyone else who took it last night feeling any side effects yet?

PolaDeVeboise · 03/10/2024 10:36

I did it last night. Didn't sleep very well, and am knackered this morning, however, that could be the beginnings off a cold, picked up from a work colleague ☹️ my appetite doesn't feel suppressed AT ALL / just had my usual breakfast of egg on toast ☹️

RunSlowTalkFast · 03/10/2024 10:39

Oh! It's being delivered today!

I'm out of the house most of the day, will they leave it do you think? I can't remember whether royal mail usually do??

Guess I'll be starting tonight then. Interesting to hear all your experiences so far!

LeatherJacketWedding · 03/10/2024 12:01

I also had a horrible night’s sleep after starting last night, but apart from being shattered don’t feel any different. However… I skipped breakfast and barely touched my lunch!!! It tasted funny and I just wasn’t hungry! I forced myself to eat a boiled egg as I don’t want to be ill.

Sorry to butt in but once you've taken your first dose of the pen it doesn't need to be kept in the fridge anymore.

It just needs to be kept cold until your first use.

hopeishere · 03/10/2024 13:06

My Voyager arrived today! Plan to inject on Sunday.

UpUpUpU · 03/10/2024 13:13

Well my RM delivery slot has been and gone and no sign of my delivery :( The tracking hasn't updated since 01:27 when it says arrived at depot :( :(

Mine now says it's being delivered tomorrow because I wasn't in 😭

AlwaysReadyForABlether · 03/10/2024 13:22

I somehow expected to feel different after my first jab but honestly wouldn’t know I’ve taken anything. Don’t even have a mark from the injection and no side effects.
I am calorie tracking but not expecting a loss this week as it just doesn’t feel like anything is happening.
i know that probably sounds daft!

Yep exactly the same here. Was supposed to be delivered between 9.30-12.30... still waiting.

UpUpUpU · 03/10/2024 13:23

RunSlowTalkFast · 03/10/2024 13:19

I am sat at my desk looking out of the window and nobody has come. I am out all day tomorrow so what happens then? Shouldn't it arrive cold? If RM have had it since 1am, surely come Saturday (when I will next be in) it wont be cold anymore?

UpUpUpU · 03/10/2024 13:30

I have literally just had a text saying it has been received and is out for delivery today before 7.30pm. That is fine but I'll be out from 3-5pm 🙄

Dee03 · 03/10/2024 13:42

@AlwaysReadyForABlether
I feel exactly the same way.

I hope me four! I’ve just taken my very first dose, it was easy to do but now have to not convince myself I feel any different!

But I bet you haven’t thought about food

PepsiMaxandPringleStacks · 03/10/2024 14:48

Day 2 after taking my first dose yesterday. I can't believe the suppression and food noise is away so quickly?!?! Or is this all in my head Confused

Well it was only about two hours ago 🤣 but you’re right!

YummyCookie · 03/10/2024 15:10

I think I’ve messed up my delivery 😫I got my delivery email, it had the option to add a safe place for if I wasn’t in. So I did, in case I wasn’t home in time. But I was home. And it’s not been delivered! When I go back on the link it says thank you for rescheduling my delivery to tomorrow. Gutted as I was going to start tonight!
