May Starters Thread 2 ~ heading into summer!

[SussexLass87]

Hi all...as the first thread is filling up I thought I'd start No.2

Come along to share experiences, vivid dreams, nausea remedies and celebrate eachother's successes...❤️

@ElsieJay could you possibly have put the syringe in your sharps bin?
The only other thing I can suggest is to start your next pen now - if you've got it - but only use 2.5ml.

@Iggy35 thank you for that reassurance. Really hoping it does improve. I also have to be realistic as the first week was SO good I can’t expect that again. I’m sure it impacted my mood too, I was on a high.

@Apprenante - thanks, just been downstairs and checked but no joy. Grrrrr !
And stupidly I don’t have another one waiting, so about to go to Asda online and order a 2.5 for collection.
Sods law isn’t it, don’t want to tell DH I’m on Mounjaro so the injecting is done somewhat furtively and rushed - serves me right.
Expensive lesson learned there.🤬🤬

How did I miss so much. Oops! Life's been busy, but I'm 6lbs down so I can't complain! Not many side of effects for me yet either!

@LittleNooshyes I have already done my first order and injection. It was all provided by them with a small charge for sharps bin. Found Asda to be very good.

New 2.5ml pen ordered . Phew ! 😥
Assume Asda must be having supply issues as I wasn’t able to Click and Collect, had to be delivered.🤬
Which I didn’t want, for secrecy issue already mentioned .🤬
Will have to beat DH in the rush to answer the doorbell ……🤬

Ah sorry I thought you were asking!

Asda are warning of delays due to high demand so it does sound like it.

I don’t know what it’s like when you click and collect but the postal bag is fairly unmarked and super padded so it wouldn’t necessarily scream “weight loss injection”. Just make sure he doesn’t open it before you.

If it’s like my Asda delivery it comes via dpd and you get your one hour slot notified on the day so at least you’re not stuck by the front door all day.

Oh how frustrating to lose your other pen. That’s the sort of thing I would do!

Have they definitely given a delivery date? I was browsing another monjouro thread and someone was saying Asda had told them they couldn’t deliver their pen until the end of the month due to low stocks.

Oh no @ElsieJay ! So easily done when your minds in a spin. Sort of thing I’d do as well 🫣.

Well done everyone who’s had losses and hugs to those feeling it’s a slow week.

Weigh in and jab 2 for me tomorrow morning. I’ve been proper hungry today and been wolfing food down at meal times but those meals have been enough. Interesting how it’s eased off quite a bit at end of week for me - glad it’s injection tomorrow on that basis.

Med Express are also having delays now. I need mine by next Sunday 1st June and I’m not convinced it will arrive in time.

MedExpress are adverting facebook like crazy, which seems unfair if they can’t keep up for current customers. It put me off last week when I was trying to decide who to order from. They’ll lose current customers too.

@Fatrosrhun - they said delivery would be Saturday 24 May , which I thought was quite good going as they probably won’t approve my prescription until tomorrow morning .
Time will tell ….
@dc82 I just couldn’t believe it , what a stupid thing to do . At least you’ll be extra-careful now !

Hi everyone, now on E4D1
honestly there was so much left in the pen (golden dose) I couldn't bring myself to bin it after all it's not exactly cheap. So I figured why not use half of what's left to get me to around 3.5mg before jumping to 5mg next week.

It took a bit of force to twist the pen, but it worked no problem.

I'm really concerned about my suppression. I'm now to the point even the protein shakes I make myself drink are making me want to be sick. I tried so hard to have a small meal last night and just ended up feeling bloated and unwell because I just did not want it. And that was on day 6 (usually when appetite comes back)

I'm not sure I'll be loosing any more weight if this carries on! My body may try save fat and think it's in starvation mode. Most definitely not getting enough calories or protein. This is me t to be a way to a healthier life style. Not an eating disorder 😔

I felt amazing for two weeks. Loss was fab etc. hardly any side effects. But this is just too much. Fingers crossed something changes and fast.

Still struggling with constipation. But as I've said before it's not like theres much in there to need to come out.

I'm taking all the vitamins needed
As well as collagen and creatine.

Getting the 5mg was probably a big mistake.
Not ready to give though so hopefully onwards and upwards. Well done everyone else your doing fab. And vertual hugs to thoes suffering 🫥🫥

I have finished week 1.

Only lost 1lb.

I'm ok with that. I suspect I will need a higher dose next month.

I found the appetite suppression good until 2 days ago. No SE.

W2D1...

5lbs off in first week which I'm surprised about but also realise most of it is just water 🙈😬😅

Will try for 2lbs this week altho the hunger as jab wore off was mad so willpower will need to be strong until it builds up/go up to 5mg 😬😬

Am going to try for just 1 night with wine this weekend... normally would have 3 nights seeing as its bank hols 🙈🙈

Morning

Week 3 weigh in and jab day tonight

SW 208.2lb
CW 196.6lb

Week 1 5.2lb
Week 2 4.2lb
Week 2 2.2lb
Total 11.6lb

No side effects, good suppression but can still eat. Able to stop eating when full. Would love a good poo but can’t have it all 🤣

Would love a good poo but can’t have it all 🤣

Oh god, yes. I reckon I could lose about 5lbs in one go if I could have a decent poo!

Morning. Weight 1 done and I wish this had been around years ago! All those diets where the food was not particularly healthy and success zero.

Week 1 - 8.5lbs

I know this won’t be sustained and don’t want it to be too quick but a great motivator. I’ve felt fine and have been enjoying really healthy food choices. Even my Diet Coke intake has decreased! Here’s to week 2!

W1 done. I'm 2kg down and 3cm off my waist. I haven't had loads of suppression - I'm still eating full size meals, just fewer snacks. Hopefully this is sustainable. 🤞

Anyone having poo issues, I did until I’ve been taking one of these a day and been going regular! 😂

Lindens - Pro Bio Live Plus... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OKEX6AS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Week 1 done and lost 4.4lbs. I’m good with that. No side effects apart from constipation so I’m taking a laxido every day.

Normally on Thursday or Friday I’d have a bit of a blow out/cheat day and yesterday, I could defo feel MJ wearing off yesterday and some cravings returned. But if this is going to be a lifestyle once I’m done with the jabs, I have to learn moderation! So I’m quite proud of self because I decided to have two glasses of wine and stop there. Normally it would have been a bottle of wine, a takeaway and a big bag of minstrels and it would likely have continued into the weekend. I tracked everything in my WW app and while every day this week I’ve had somewhere between 1000-1200 cals a day (depending on how I felt), last night I had 1600. But I tracked it all and resisted the massive self sabotage that usually hits me and continues throughout the week. So pleased!

Sorry for typos everyone, I was actually nodding off while trying to write this last night 😂🙈

Morning!
W2 D1

Well done to all for weight losses 🎉 and 💪sticking with the process despite some side effects!

Morning weigh in and 7.5lb loss. Thrilled with that. Lots will be fluid I suspect as I've massively reduced carbs which tend to bloat me. But I'll take it!

Second jab done, hoping the appetite suppression will return a bit more. The last 2 days I've been hungrier than the previous 5. The food noise was back a little, but still significantly less than pre MJ and it was much easier to stick to healthy food choices. No 💩 side effects thankfully, other than smaller ones. I'm sure the level of water helps so would reccomend it to anyone struggling. I fill up a 2l bottle when I'm working and drink from that. At home I have a 750ml one which I make sure I drink a minimum of 2 in the day. I also have herbal tea, tea and coffee during the day with the odd fizzy drink.

Going to make the most of the last of the sunshine today before half term starts (typical!). Off to Wales tomorrow until next Friday evening so jab 3 will be a day late, hoping I can maintain the good food choices!

@TimeForTeaAndMe do you have to move up a dose? Sounds like you may need to stay on the lower one if your effects are as strong as that? If you already have your pen, can you half dose?
