Moving up and jab day

[startingforthelasttime]

Hi all,

I'm 2 weeks in on mounjaro and looking for advice. The first week I jabbed on the Friday night just before I went to bed, had minimal life effects and woke up the next day with the full feeling. Ate minimally over that weekend, but gradually felt it easing off towards the end of the week, as you would expect. I was stupid and had a typical Friday night pig out, to the extent I then didn't want to take it Friday night and be ill, so held off til Saturday morning.
Carried on after that, and felt suppression again, but already feel it's worn off. I still have 2 jabs of 2.5mg. I'm tempted to jab tomorrow evening, 1 to have it start working again, and to avoid the Friday night trap! I feel Thursday nights might be a good idea to jab going forward.

Can anyone else suggest any changes I can make? I was going to keep as low as possible, but if after 2 weeks it's wearing off quickly, I guess I need to go up to 5mg. I assume jabbing early won't massively hurt? I don't really get support from my provider to ask questions.

You can jab early, as long as it’s at least three days since your last one. Last time, I jabbed on a Sunday rather than a Monday and this week I will do it on the Saturday (so 6 days again) because I am trying to gradually change my jab day to Friday.

You can change the day of the jab by a day or two forwards or backwards as a one off. Over time you won't get the same fluctuations in suppression so it won't make such a difference when you take it but having a 'pig out' is going to actively work against the effects of the drug for more than just the day you take it so you need to work out how to knock that on the head - otherwise you might as well not be taking it.
