Mounjaro October starters - Thread 3

[YummyCookie]

A new one as no 2 was nearly full.

Thanks so much for this advice! It's week 5 for me too, and I went up to 3.75mg on Friday, so I presume it's just the reaction to that - but it's horrible! I'm really happy with my loss so far, but not enough to stop so hoping this feeling only lasts another 24 hours! I've had some electrolytes this morning and managed to walk my dog so I'm taking that as a win! Thanks for the advice, I'll keep sipping at fluids and see how the day goes!

@surreygirl1987 amazing milestone 😀

Does anyone else have a stiff neck? I got it after my very first injection put it down to sleeping funny but at the end of W2 I still have it. Could be complete coincidence just thought I’d see if anyone else had the same side effect.

Amazing result @surreygirl1987 👏

Day 3 of 5mg and this morning I experienced something for the first time that a lot of people have mentioned on here. 2 bites of my meal and I felt full! Couldn't believe it. Felt a change on 2.5mg but it was very subtle and just ability to go longer between eating and easier to make healthy choices. Now on 5mg I seem to have that stronger suppression that people talk about. No bad side effects so far and hopefully that keeps up.

Yes! I had it for approx 2.5 weeks. I am W3D4 now and it completely gone.

@Loujab what a strange side effect 😂glad to hear it goes after a while tho it’s been hard trying to work with it!

I have used the 'Zero' ones from the start. They are on offer at the moment on Amazon I think £4.50 for 20. B&m also sell them in packs of 10 for £2!! They have served me well, I have one every morning before anything else

More than 24hrs of my first 5mg. No side effects as such to report, but the suppression 'wow' it knocks the 2.5mg out of the park! I did not have breakfast mainly as I was out early for food shop and just had a ready made house salad box and added chicken, ate about half and am stuffed. I am going to continue focusing on protein where I know I can get 100g a day in easy

I've got a pain in the upper part of my back, near my neck, thought I must have slept funny...

@Loujab I use this brand. hydro sis electrolyte tablets

It's so strong isn't it on 5mg? Also I look forward to a cheeky red wine on a weekend and last night I was not feeling it hope this continues too. I am going to drink coconut water with lime in a wine glass😂

@PolaDeVeboise surely we haven’t all slept funny then 🤣 hopefully it gets better for us soon

Indeed, it's so strange!

I hope I get better suppression on 5mg, still on 2,5mg and losing well but I think it’s becoming more will power over suppression.

That's the ones I have, taste lovely

This stuff is pure magic! 😍

Just taken 3rd dose, glad I'm home alone as right now I'm burping for Britain

Just finished my second week. Only 1lb off this week but I'm a bit bunged up which probably isn't helping. I've had all the chia seeds and psyllium husks but it doesn't seem to help.

This is good to hear, got to admit I’m a bit nervous of going to 5mg and I don’t know why!

Can I just check something as I’m thinking I might have done my bonus dose incorrectly? I took 4 x 2.5mg from my 2.5mg pen- then on my 5th week I took the bonus dose using the hard twist. I’m getting confused as I’m sure I’ve read a few posts where (I think) the bonus has been taken with the 4th injection. I could have misunderstood this of course-easily confused! Thanks

@Fizzleaway1 i get you, that's how I felt from werk 3 of 2.5mg

@Pegsmum i was too, I agonised over it so much, I got sucked into all the horror stories on Ticktok. Then I realised people will always share the worst scenarios (I likened this to childbirth lol) I did make sure from week 3 of 2.5 I was prepared for 5mg. I started taking ginger tablets 3 times a day for example and fibre gummies to try get in my system.

That’s correct and what I intend to do for my 5th dose. Not sure why some would take it in addition to their 4th week 2.5mg, maybe they wanted to up their dose earlier than what is advised.

Hope you are feeling a little better@dazzledee . I wonder if that dose is just too high for your body. I am going to get a 5mg pen next but not going to increase my dose from 2.5mg unless food suppression stops. Will just do 30 clicks instead/

Ha! The burps are quite special aren’t they!

I'm losing well on 2.5mg. No a
side effects at all, and have done 3rd dose. Should I stay on 2.5 for at least another month or go up to 5mg? I know I'm losing well, but worried that will stop and I'll regret not moving up...

Me too! Mainly from hearing the stories of the awful side effects!
