Week 3 2.5 mournjaro

[Mrspinknails]

Had my 3rd week injection on Sunday of 2.5. I'm also doing a vlcd using milkshakes etc as I already had them. I've lost 9lb so far.
The food noise hasn't stopped its all still difficult not to snack. I have about another 3 stone to lose.
People talk about getting a bonus dose from the 2.5 what does this mean?
Will the 5 stop the food noise more?
Also what happens when you get below 30 bmi? Can I change prescriber? Currently with pharmacy2u

I would say you are probably wanting to snack as you are not eating enough real food if on VLCD shakes. Try eating a more protein based diet to fill you up more.

To answer your questions:
Bonus dose - each pen officially has 4 doses plus extra for priming. Most of us that final liquid left at the end of the pen as a fifth dose. You can access it by either 'breaking' the pen using a hard test or using a small syringe to extract it.
Food noise: 5 g may stop it but for some people an even higher dose is needed.
Caging prescriber: yes you can generate change pharmacy below 30bmi with proof of a previous prescription. There are a few pharmacies that won't take you on at that point but not many.

Hi @Mrspinknails

That sounds tough.

Would you say you're getting any suppression at all?

I'm taking my 3rd 2.5 injection tonight.

Can you eat more protein to keep you fuller?

Please excuse typos. Can't edit in the app!!!

I'm not hungry. Its the wanting to snack the thinking about what can I eat next that hadn't gone away

Thanks
So I have ti do something with the pen for the bonus dose. I don't have any syringes and don't fancy breaking it so guess I'll just have to waste the bit that's left.

No don't waste it.. when people say breaking the pen.. its really easy, just do as you normally do, pop needle on, prime etc. Then when u twist to 1 it will stop before you get there, you just need to use a bit of force to turn it, it's just breaking the mechanism.. then you can push another 2.5 in.

My pen only came with 4 needles though.

It's very easy to order some more eg www.medino.com/product/glucorx-carepoint-4mm-32g-100-needles

Yes as someone else has put, quite cheap to buy.. about a £5 for 100. . I paid a bit more, about £8 cos I went into a chemist and asked.. cheaper online though.

Perfect thanks. I've ordered some.
