June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (title edited by MNHQ at request of the OP)

[Potterson13]

Hi everyone!

I started MJ around this time last year, but due to costs and unforeseen family circumstances, I fell of the band wagon and took about 6 months off. I’m now a stone heavier than I was. I am back and ready to go again. First pen, back to 2.5mg, arriving tomorrow or Friday.

I found the last thread I was on very supportive so wondered if there’s a few people around who want to join me!

How soon do you all order jab 2? I’m with Medexpress if that makes a difference.

My appointment is not until 30th. Glad I didn't wait any longer to get the order in!

Good luck! Sounds like we’re on about the same journey with regards to weight loss - I have such high hopes!!

How are you feeling about it all?

First jab this morning! No one knows so lets see how this goes 🤣

Hey!

I'm feeling good. Stocked up on fruit and yoghurt and I'm really hoping this is what I need to stick to a diet. How are you feeling about it?

Just to add my sister-in-law lost 5 stone in 9 months on Mounjaro, and my brother has already lost just under 2 stone in 2 months, it’s what prompted me to try it. Keep the faith, it works!! 💪🏼

I picked up something similar in Holland & Barrett today which were peanut butter protein balks by Deliciously Ella - they were SO good! But I have to limit myself to them out of home as DD1 is allergic sadly.

I’ve got my second weigh in tomorrow, but nervous it will be disappointing but looking forwards to my third jab as I’m definitely hungrier today.

@BonjournoMonjourno your camera story made me laugh!! 🤭

Hello to the new starters @SirHectorDoolittle, @DD517 and others!

That's fantastic news! Well done you!

Can understand how that sort of weight loss, so quickly could be unsettling; but I'd give anything to see that sort of progress.

W1 D3 for me. Not hungry at all and have only managed a Babybell at work today. It's not that I'm feeling full, it's more just not interested in food. Don't really fancy anything.
My metabolism is already rubbish. Don't want to do anymore damage, so need to eat well. It must be psychosomatic rather than the jab on 2.5 I assume.

The psychological side of things is really fascinating … just not thinking much about food. It is freeing.

Starting tonight before bed! Nervous!!
Totally overate all day today as a sort of goodbye to food. I know it's totally backwards... but i guess it's like having a last cigarette before knowing you're going to quit.

Does every provider ask them to upload weight pictures for each month to get a new dose?

I’m with SheMed and they do a zoom-type call

Do you have to weigh in on the call?

I'm trying to arrange my 2nd delivery of 0.25g pen but Juniper wants £189! I don't really want to pay that.

I found a discount code.

How far can you order it advance does anyone know. I'm in wk 3 but have found Juniper quite slow so was being proactive.

@BonjournoMonjourno love your username!

Yes. ☺️ they scan the qr on the monjouro box and then check the scales while I’m standing on them

It takes about 3 minutes usually

Week 2 day 5 and suppression has kicked in for me. I'm not hungry but able to eat when I remember. Food noise is gone. No side effects still but think now the medication has properly kicked in they may be on their way. Still drinking lots and taking my fibre.

Period week this week too - interesting to see how this effects weigh day as usually I gain.

I’m on W2D5 and wow has the suppression kicked in! Set reminders to eat smaller meals regularly which is helping with nausea.

Have also decided that daily weight checks are the way forwards, as I can track fluctuations (am due on any day!)

How is everyone finding protein/fibre balances?? I’m definitely feeling a bit…. Erm, slower in that respect 🤪💩🛑

I’m definitely struggling with my fibre intake, I have a nut allergy which doesn’t help as they are always recommended.

Bit worried about DH, we’re only W1 D2 but he’s barely eating. Maybe 500 calories but I’d guess less.

I had a slice of wholemeal bread and a third of a tin of baked beans for lunch. They’re quite high in fibre

Any tips for getting less lumpy protein shakes?

Protein shakes are the devil. I was heaving trying to drink just a small cup. Not for me.

Has anyone else bruised quite badly at the site of the injection? I've just noticed quite a large black bruise on my stomach from the second jab which I did this morning.
