November Mounjaro Starters

[Nowthereistwo]

Hi, I've just been prescribed Mounjaro and it's being dispatched in a few days.

So I was wondering if there were others starting soon who wanted to have a chat.

I’ve just placed my order for my first Mounjaro pen. Feeling nervous.

@Icanthinkformyselfthanks Most, if not all of us were nervous before we started. It's quite natural.

First jab done!! Looking forward to the next steps

Injected for the first time today! How is everyone finding it so far? Xx

Same here. Good luck.

Week 1 Day 4. Desperate to hop on the scales but I said I would weigh myself on jab days.

Eating less and I either go for a walk or do a 40 minute YouTube fitness thing.

Early days but I am always great for the first week or two of any diet so week 4 will be my make or break time

The only symptom I have is a lack of interest in snacking which is positive but no nausea or anything like that yet. I guess that might happen when I move up to the next dose

The dreaded constipation has returned 😒I'm feeling quite victimised. I've also felt so very cold today. Normally I'm the person in summer wear in the depths of winter. At the moment I look like I'm heading off to the arctic on an expedition 😁

Injected for the first time last night, couldn’t feel injection at all. Fell asleep on the sofa and woke up at 12.45, after getting into my bed my tummy felt really bloated like it was expanding.

Today I haven’t felt hungry but I haven’t felt full. I did have a few quick dizzy feelings so I’m wondering if it’s lowering my blood sugar? Nothing major and didn’t need to treat it. Anyone else had this?

I've had to buy a slightly less really unprofessional oodie for teams meetings when I'm WFH! This room is on the cool side anyway, but normally I can manage to freeze through them before returning to unprofessional comfort - but the other morning I couldn't, and rocking a giant avocado print one was a bit obvious on camera!

I started on Tuesday. Definitely feeling a lot less hungry and quite sick at times but nothing too horrendous.

W2 D1, I'm completely in the zone and doing high protein, low carb diet alongside the medication. First weigh in today and I've lost a massive 14lbs... That's a whole Stone!!! I know most of it will be water weight, but I've got no food noise, no negative side effects and now eating 3 small meals a day. No snacking at all and drinking lots of water.
I'm committing to no alcohol and limiting carbs, as they are my downfall. I've not been hungry at all and feeling really motivated.
Already can see a change in my face and my rings are a little looser.

Week two, day one and I've lost 5lb! Annoyingly the food noise is back despite jabbing today, fingers crossed that tomorrow is better. I've realised that I really need to plan ahead and make sure I have good breakfast and lunch options that I can grab.

Amazing! 👏🏻

I don't k ow how I thought I'd feel, but I don't feel any different 😂 is that how I'm supposed to feel?

Love this! I'm also rocking an oodie in meetings. I work for a company who are all about carbon saving so using that as my excuse 😄 x

That is amazing @Cakeybake
A fantastic start !

Week 1 day 4
Had a headache pretty much all the way through, felt sick this morning when waking up but didn't last long.
Definitely not interested in snacking at all and food wise I'm struggling to eat 1000 calories. Hungry at times but a small snack of fruit or something is fine.

I was initially turned down for the jab even though I’m overweight so dh had to adjust my height or something

It might be problematic going forward tho if they ask for updates

Amazing result @Cakeybake🥳

@redavocado I'm exactly the same as you week 2 day 1 and 5lbs off 💪.

No side effects so far. Not sure if it's just a personal thing or if it's because I don't jab on an empty stomach, take probiotics pre eating and put electolyte tabs in my water. Whichever it is I am very grateful and not counting my chickens.

Pre jab day was HARD all the usual food noise and much more hungry than the rest of the week. Still feeling quite hungry today (jabbed before bed last night) but once I start eating I'm back to feeling fuller quicker x

Congrats! That's a great start!

I jabbed before bed last night too, hoping to sleep off any side effects and avoid food noise this morning. I am more full today so fingers crossed it improves for both of us tomorrow!

Well done @Cakeybake

After being excited about my week 1 loss of 6lbs on Tuesday, I foolishly weighed myself this morning to find I’d put on 1.5lbs 😢.

Feeling glum I treated myself to a Turkey Feast sandwich from Sainsbury’s for lunch to cheer myself up (with fruit and a Diet Coke - managed to restrain myself from wolfing the whole sandwich as it was 411 cals - ate the best bits though!). Lo and behold my period has literally just arrived! Feeling vaguely cheered that the extra weight might be water retention.

Feeling super tired this week though.

This is epic! Well done and that’s such good willpower to avoid carbs and alcohol.

W1 D7 (or W2 D1?!) for me today and 1st weeks results are 4.5lbs off! Really pleased with that as a start. Motivation still really high and making good food choices. 100% getting fuller quicker, but know this could be due to eating less as well. Well done to all my fellow first week completers, we can do this!
