Hi all. Been reading through these and some of your past threads from september onwards last year. There's come fascinating info included and some good advice / tips. I started on mounjaro 4 weeks ago (2.5ml starter dose, this is my 4th week), I have close to 6 stone to lose but I think I did surprisingly well in the first 3 weeks on this injectable. I lost 9lbs (I am aware a significant % of this might be fluid), and saw a marked reduction in my appetite often finding I had to 'persuade' myself to eat. In my current 4th week, I have found that whilst my appetite is no-where near what it was pre-Mounjaro, I can tell that my body has become used to the drug. I have my next, higher dose, waiting for next Monday. I am trying to stick to protein with veg meals, drinking more fluids and ensuring I get my fruit in. For me the biggest challenge was reducing my bread intake, most days I could eat a good 3rd of a sliced loaf! Since reducing this to 2 slices per day (if I actually use them), I've found my joints feel much better and I feel less 'stodged', so I am really looking forward to reducing my weight sensibly and seeing the benefits to my arthritis. Enjoying reading the comments here. 😀but I've been particularly interested in the comments on the 'bonus' dose and what people are saying about them. I have at least a further dose on my 2.5mg pen which seems wasteful, so am considering the purchase of some needles to drain the correct amount and use it as a 5th dose, so any comments on this would be interesting.
