MJ users - when did you begin to have any hunger suppression?

I know everyone is different but I'm interested.

Just started MJ but did 8 weeks on Wegovy and had zero hunger suppression. I know I need to be patient but I'm curious how it's been for others.

Not till 10mg for me, but I swapped from top dose of wegovy so that was what I was told to expect

Day 2 of 2.5mg - it was wild. I’ve taken it for 13mth now and never really got over 9-10mg.

I'm day two tomorrow so it would be amazing if it worked that quickly. I'm pretty sure it won't though!!

Within 12 hours. But I fully acknowledge I responded incredibly well to it!

I jabbed at 7am and didn’t really want any lunch that day. I’ve definitely felt suppression from day one. It’s not been perfect - I’ve definitely had to use willpower at times but have had a degree of suppression since day one. I’m on Wk4 D2 now.

I had a bit of suppression on 5mg, but really noticed it at 7.5mg. I don't think I felt much suppression at 2.5mg at all.

Good luck! Mounjaro has been life changing for me 👍

Thanks for the replies.

I know that I still need to put in the work so I'm not expecting a total miracle. I just had such a disappointing experience working Wegovy I guess I'm a bit disillusioned.

Need to get my head in the game!

Within 24 hours. Be prepared for the fact that if Wegovy didn't really work for you, you may not get suppression for a while. Unfortunately these drugs just don't work as well for some people.

That’s interesting as I have recently swapped from Wegovy after a 4 stone loss as I plateaued and also knew that mounjaro can be taken longer term so wanted to move over.

On week 3 now of mounjaro smallest dose and my food noise is loud!!! I am snacking like I haven’t done for over 14 months on Wegovy. Hoping as i move up through the doses that suppression comes back. I am losing and gaining the same pound or so which is so frustrating after such successful yet steady loss. I only want to lose another 10 pounds or so ideally so hoping it kicks in soon! You have given me a bit of hope!

I had suppression from day one on Wegovy.

I did the same lost four stone on wegovy, plateaued for nine months. Moved to MJ in September last year and have lost about 30lb since then, nearly six stone in total. It's still slow, but I'm older, peri. Etc etc @MarshaMarshaMarsha

This is what I was worried about.

Felt as though I wasted 8 weeks and best part of £300 on Wegovy.

I fully expect myself to be one of the people these med's don't work for.
