First thread is full and I couldn’t see a new one to continue it so thought I’d make it so we can all carry on chatting.

Ah ok.. sounds like you did get the full dose then, just in 2 parts..

I know what you mean now.. glad you got it sorted..

Yes two parts and probably two bruises 🤦🏻‍♀️

Second injection this morning and I’ve been violently sick three times throughout the day. Cannot eat anything. On my second day with an eight week old puppy (and 2 young DC) this is not ideal at all. I feel so ill 😣

Oh no, that sounds rotten. Poor you. Did you have any side effects after your first jab? Hope you feel better soon.

Oh that sounds awful. Do you have a partner or friend who can step up for a few days?

Midlifecrisisxamillion · 13/10/2024 19:32

I felt full today after tea. I think suppression is hitting 😃. Week 1 - day 4.

Oh that's interesting. I am finished day 2 and kind of assumed if it hadn't fully hit, it wouldn't increase until next dose

Oh you poor thing. Did you feel nauseous after the first jab or has this come from nowhere after the second?

NearlyAutumnNow · 13/10/2024 20:29

Week 2 day 3 - feel the urge to resist yummy things slightly less than week 1. Anyone else?

Theamazingshrinkingwoman · 13/10/2024 20:31

Possibly slightly but I think suppression was best Monday and Tuesday for me. Will see how it goes

Beautifulweeds · 13/10/2024 20:35

Can I ask how you have got the injections please? From Gp or other means? Tia

Edited

I am on day 6 today and only felt full from day 4. I am still hungry but feel full on smaller portions when I eat. I didn’t feel any different day 1-3.

Private online pharmacy. Voy / Med express / boots / Asda - see discount code thread for more.

HansHolbein · 13/10/2024 21:01

Hi all, can I join?

I just put my request in with Asda for Mounjaro 2.5.

I’m assuming it will take a few days to all go through.

Hope you don’t mind another one!

I bought mine via the slimming clinic. Nothing to do with the GP.

Welcome!

I started this week with Asda. I ordered on Monday afternoon and picked up Weds afternoon.

Re. The vomiting - felt fine on the first jab, couple of waves of nausea but that was it!

My stomach is paining in hunger but I can’t keep anything down. Praying it is NOT like this tomorrow, with school runs and work thrown into the mix.

In answer to PP, no partner - raised them 100% alone. I’ve got through worse times (all 3 of us having d&v in the middle of night at the same time springs to mind 😅) so will be fine I’m sure

EVK · 13/10/2024 21:57

Midlifecrisisxamillion · 13/10/2024 15:01

Fingers crossed you feel a bit better soon. I felt bad until day 3 but feel a lot better now (day 4) thankfully.

Anyone else find the mix of stones, kgs and lbs that people post confusing?

Yes 😂 I just googled a conversion chart 😂

Homeiswherethedogis · 13/10/2024 22:03

Joining in if I may. Took my first last night. Either it's a placebo effect causing greater will power, or it's working in some way already as I didn't fee hungry until mid afternoon.

Biggest thing I've noticed is a need to pee all the time.

HansHolbein · 13/10/2024 22:12

I’m just looking forward to not giving a shiny shit about food!

I really have tried everything apart from surgery and I really didn’t want to do that.

Question for you all, did you tell anyone? I’m thinking not.

ThisOdyssey · 14/10/2024 00:12

Hi, I’ve just started taking Mounjaro. Hoping I can join this group? I’m typing this in bed at the end of Day 2. So far, no side effects 🤞🏼. I definitely felt less hungry today and ate about 50% of what I’d normally have. There also seems to be a lot less ‘food noise’ in my head, so no desire to snack at all. Early days though - let’s see how it … I have a lot to lose!

Oh no, I really hope it subsided for you, you poor thing. Do you think it might have been caused by anything you ate from the day before the injection? I don't mean in a food poisoning way, but I remember on another thread someone was saying they had diarrhoea and someone else was saying it could have been because they had battered fish and fried food and MJ really disagrees with anything fried. Either way, hope you feel better super soon x

I told my DH. It's just him and me and our toddler at home. I also told my sister as she was the one who helped me decide to go on MJ. Otherwise nobody knows and I won't be telling anyone either.

Onedancewontdo · 14/10/2024 00:53

I’ve just ordered Mj was wondering if anyone can advise on a diet to take in conjunction with the injections
