Mounjaro October starters - Thread 3

[YummyCookie]

A new one as no 2 was nearly full.

I am testing out a G&T again. Cheers 😇

We've been trying not to drink alcohol during the week for ages now so Friday night wine has always been a highlight for me, with a nice bottle chilling in the fridge. I look forward to it all day.
First jab this morning and I'm not in the slightest bit interested in having a glass. Am watching DH knock his back with abandon and nope. Nothing.
This is MEGA!

I have a bottle of wine that’s already open and I couldn’t drink it today. Have no inclination towards it whatsoever,

Ive had 900 calories today and not really been hungry - dinner was more out of duty knowing I ought to eat. But I’ve still thought non stop about food. It’s made me realise HOW much I think about it, it’s constant all day.

Anyone else feel like they might spontaneously combust and like they’re taking an illicit substance. I think of other prescription meds I’ve taken and been conscious of side effects but not really given it a second thought. I think MJ has had so much controversial media attention that I’ve convinced myself it’s going to have some sort of negative impact on me. Might just be me and my anxious mind!

Hi guys I am on week 3 and no suppression still. Feeling more full when I eat but nothing else. Only lost 1kg but have hope the higher dose will help when I am able to move up.

Are you eating the same as before or have you cut calories too?

Usually is for me too, but I've absolutely no interest whatsoever 😲 This stuff - it's pure bloody magic! 😍

I don’t drink alcohol at home so I’m never tempted for anything like wine at a weekend. My problem is chocolate!

I am eating less than before but still having alcohol and had a couple of meals out. All cravings still there.

We are Friday night winers here too and this is the second week in a row I've not chilled a bottle of white and not felt like I'm missing it at all.

@Iwouldratherbesinging

I have downloaded the app, really useful, I guess it will help me plan socially too. I’m not sure how I’d explain that I only fancy 3 mouthfuls of my dinner now, having always licked the plate clean!

Week 3, day 5, suppression wearing off today and feel hungry!

I ordered my second pen earlier, with MedExpress again but says waiting for prescription to be approved - is this usual? Thought it would go straight through as it’s my second pen with them? Also says this time I need to be in to sign for the parcel, which it didn’t last time.

That’s how I feel. I’m glad to be finally feeling in control of my eating and losing weight but I’m totally paranoid about taking MJ -
Im scared that I’ve done something which will ultimately come back and bite me !!

@EVK same! I’m glad it’s not just me.

I had to sign for my medexpress parcel, when I posted on a thread I was the only one, everyone else they'd just left it in a safe place. It was really annoying as they attempted delivery on a Saturday and then I didn't get the pen till Monday by which point it was warm

I am supposed to sign for all my prescription meds (I use an online service) and they always get left in a safe place - it depends on who’s posting them (which post man rather than service) IME. We don’t have the same postie each day, so if they don’t get delivered one day they usually get delivered the next.

@Doghairismyglitter
i had to wait for my second pen prescription to be approved too.
@ChimneyRock - im a weekend wino too 🤣 but since MJ I haven’t wanted a drink really. So it’s been 3 weeks for me - I think about maybe having one and then just don’t bother - it’s incredible! It also means I don’t binge eat crap !!

@EVK ah that’s reassuring, thank you. I should be okay as still have my Week 4 injection plus hopefully the golden bonus dose.
My stomach is growling from hunger, this might be the first time I need an evening snack 😔 will try my best to keep it healthily though, luckily not craving crisps or chocolate or anything. Frustratingly I feel really anxious this evening with a pounding heart, haven’t had that at all during injections, I wonder if the thigh jab has worn off quicker than the stomach ones did?

Do Medexpress contact you when it's time to order your next pen or do you just do it whenever you want to?

@killamounjaro Thanks for the info about the bonus dose, I've got loads of spare needles as I have used Saxenda in the past which is a daily injection.

Good to know I can get a fifth week out of it.

Urgh. Went for a birthday fry up today, big mistake, only ate a sausage, egg and some potatoes. Then DP treated me to a Burger King. Ate the burger and now have the worst upset tummy. I've avoided eating shit the past three weeks as I haven't wanted any of it, and this is a clear reminder WHY I haven't wanted it. Feeling horrendous and slightly angry at myself. But you live and you learn.
My next weigh in, is on Tuesday. Really hoping this hasn't affected me. Luckily I've been walking 15k steps a day so hopefully it'll counteract 

How did you get on? I love my Prosecco I’ve had a bottle tonight and I’m scared to sleep and deal with the consequences tomorrow 🙈

This thread is so helpful in calming my newbie nerves, loads of tips, thank you all.

Ok,1st MJ jab 2.5 done this evening- I was so nervous and re-read instructions loads and watched a YouTube on it so I didn’t mEd’s it up! Thought by taking it in the evening I might sleep through any side affects..

I had a single finger of a Cadburys Twirl this evening, first time I’ve had any chocolate since starting. Oh my god, it tasted so artificial and left a horrible taste in my mouth, I don’t know if I should be happy or crying, it was awful… I have a mini curly wurly to try tomorrow, hoping that I don’t have an aversion to that!

I know what you mean! I have thought about what I would do, I think the easiest option (for me) would be to go for a salad based option, or just say I’d had a bit of an upset tummy and don’t want to risk anything rich, could only get away with it once though…

Week 3 jag done this evening, I've lost a total of 7lb over the last 2 weeks - half a stone, I can't quite believe it.

I've had minimal side effects, a bit of queasiness if I eat fatty foods. I generally don't sleep that well but have noticed I seem to be sleeping much deeper in the last week - hopefully that one lasts!

SW 16st
CW 15st 7lb
GW not sure, but a couple of stone off to begin with would be great
