Mounjaro Feb 2025 starters (thread 2!)

[Mounjaroday]

Welcome everyone to thread 2, all you brave people who started their WLI in Feb!

So happy we can all support each other! Good luck for the next few weeks 🎉

Mine as arrived while I was at work and hubby put it in the fridge. He said the box was a little dented but hopefully it's fine. I think I'll read all the instructions tonight and do it tomorrow morning.

Getting that sicky feeling after meals these last 2 days, which is new. Didn’t get that the first week.

My meals are a lot smaller than I would normally have too, so it’s really odd feeling like I can’t eat anymore. It’s not nausea, just feels like food is sitting there not going anywhere. Suppose that’s the delayed gastric emptying effect.

Are you eating enough at regular intervals too?

My IQ doctor order has just arrived with 5 pen needles and some wipes too.
Hope that helps someone

I used them for my first pen, they were super quick and sent me needles as well as a sharps box

meanwhile… still no dispatch email from Asda. This is rubbish. And now it’ll probably come when I can’t be in

That’s so annoying isn’t it. Have you already paid for it in full? Can you get a refund and swap suppliers? My first one from IQ doctor was approved within 2 hours and I got it the next day. I ordered my 2nd pen from weprescribe yesterday and they still haven’t approved it. I’m not in a desperate rush, but if I was I’d be annoyed!!

I'm just placing my first order now with IQ Doctor!

Those who use them, I've had an email saying it's being processed - I assume it still needs to be approved?

I think Im going to switch to them for the next pen, they seem to get good reviews and have discounts for repeat customers.
Were they quite good about photos? I had to do 3 lots for med express and really dont want the hassle again!

@FunnyCrabDance
They asked for full length and side, plus photo of latest jab label.
I ordered Sunday night and received this morning.
Very impressed with how quick they were.

Oh and driving licence.

I have paid and need to message to cancel it / that’s a week and a half I’ve waited, and I’d psyched myself up to order, after loads of doubts, after my holiday.

If it comes, and works for me, I’ll use another provider next time

Probably not! I forget to eat as not feeling hungry. Suppose it’s all about learning new habits.

A very weird side effect (or a wild coincidence) but I have been IRRITABLE AS HECK all day long after my first dose- I am not normally an angry person or an easily frustrated person but I even shouted at the cat earlier 😭

W2D1

SW: 15st 12lb
CW: 15st 6lb
GW: 13st 7lb (but would love to see 14st 7lb)

my first week was fabulous, no side effects and suppression only seemed to dip around yesterday and Sunday. I’m so happy with an initial 6lb loss, although a lot of that is water weight and also my period finished todayish so could of been that aswell for the huge drop.

Im excited to see what the week brings! I’m not sure on the bonus dose so might not do that for the first few months until I’ve got my head fully round it all.

I ordered through Chemist 4 U who were fantastic, however looking to move to Medexpress mainly for the discount code for the next pen. Where do I find discount codes? Or is it best to stick to the same supplier?

I'm slowly trying to move my jab to Friday morning/eve so just taken dose 4 of 2.5mg 12 hours earlier than last week, will take an indigestion pill shortly and hope for the best overnight. Counting this morning as weigh in.

Sw: 116.5kg
Cw: 110.6kg
Loss week 3: 1.1kg or almost 2.5lb
Total loss: 5.9kg or 13lb. Almost a whole stone already.

The lowest recorded weight I have in my phone (2019 onwards) is from 1 year ago where I got down to 105.8kg and was miserable with the diet restrictions so that's my goal currently.

Period started yesterday so I don't know how it will affect next weeks weigh in.

I've ordered my next pen and it's 5mg, loads left in the current pen so I might try getting it out and see if I can get a mid way dose to step up slower to 5mg purely to reduce side effects. I'm going to have to store the new pen in the work fridge for a week anyway, it might as well be there for two.

I've been craving sugar the last 2/3 days (nothing like before mj but noticeable) and weekends are much harder for me with free access to food and shops so I'm gradually moving my dose to Friday to hopefully give me maximum assistance over weekends.

I found it very easy to mindlessly reach for sweets from a stash last night so am having a clear out to stop that. Just the fact that I'm, so far, OK with not having sweets to hand is a major win, I definitely had/have an emotional attachment and need to have safe food available at all times.

Was eating out the last 2 days and still made reasonably good choices and ate less than I would before just by getting full quicker and staying full for a lot longer.

I have a small family gathering in mid April, almost 7 weeks away, so I'm hoping I can maybe get another 6kg off by then if I keep a steady 1kg a week loss. I'm promising myself a new pair of nice jeans and hoodie if I can achieve it.

Really? I didn’t see any emails for discounts for a repeat order so have swapped to a different supplier for my next pen. Strangely with the discount code my 5mg one ended up being cheaper!! If it ever gets approved that is 🙄

@PerditionCatchMySoul only what I saw on the Mounj website. They had a new customer discount code, and a second code for all customers to get 20.5 % off, (feb205) so I assumed it was a regular thing?

@LaundryQueenX3 I was going to PM to ask if you would like my medex referral code but it's disabled at the moment!

There’s a whole thread on here with discount codes somewhere. I haven’t looked yet but I think that’s where people post their codes.

I think I'm a bit irritable too. I have builders in and I've been really snarky with them. Of course, it may be justified! But I don't think so, I think it's me.

@MJSpideySenses when it does work again then yes absolutely I’d love a referral code! I’m only just taken week 2 jab so I’ll order next Tuesday! Thank you so much x

Thankyou I’ll have to have a look! Hoping to order after taking my 3rd jab next week

W1 D4 and this was my first day in the office since the first injection so a big test as my department is really, really bad for having mountains of snacks. Normally I'm in and out of the drawer all day but I didn't even look in it today. It's the weirdest sense of detachment to realise I'm walking past it and not even thinking about it.

I am definitely feeling hungrier, I'm ok with that as I do obviously need to eat. I'm just concerned about it becoming cravings as the week goes on and I can see Friday being difficult. I had initially planned to take it on Fridays and now wondering if I should bring it forward. I WFH home on a Friday and it's probably the day I have the most downtime and would usually snack a lot.

@LaundryQueenX3 I've put it in a thread and tagged you in it, so hopefully you'll find it. It give you £40 off and gets me credit too.

They have been great for me so far. I have only had 2 pens, both from them. It does seem simple to switch providers so I will see if it's worth it after my next pen.
