Anyone starting Mounjaro this weekend?

[DoingItForTheKids25]

Is anyone else starting Mounjaro this weekend and fancies a support thread please join along.

I did my first injection tonight. I absolutely hate needles but found it surprisingly ok, think my last pregnancy & a complicated birth has made me a little less sensitive!

Well done @ARGYLEMIKEY!!!!

Week 3 day 1
Weigh day - lost 3lbs this week. So 9lb in total over 2 weeks. I can see that I have. Nausea only lifted today typically this week as I need to inject later for another bout of nausea I’m dreading. Really hoping my body is getting used to to this so I can cope better.

Hi All

Wow some great losses happening.
I had dose number 3 on Thursday and it is like week 1 again for me, suppressed appetite. But OMG the tiredness in this heat is a bit of a handful isn't it!!

Last week (week 2) my appetite was there and I was eating with terrible indigestion and put 1lb on, despite not eating as much as I used to. I think I was carrying loads of water as my fingers were swollen, I could see on my rings.

Anyway, that lb has gone and another one, so hoping to keep it up.

Family choosing desserts earlier and not for one second did I consider having one! Just looking at the words made me feel yuck.

I know a PP mentioned being worried about not eating out at nice places again. You will and you can but you just won't want to over do it. You'll go slower and enjoy it all more.

Good luck all.

@Moderatelyobesewhich anti sickness tablets are you using?
@BeesBeesMillionsOfBeesi keep getting bloated too. Found sipping a Sprite Zero helped me expel some air out and a swig of milk of magnesium after a meal.

How is everyone feeling in this heat? It’s definitely ramped up my insane thirst.

My period arrived this morning after being an entire week late and it’s incredibly painful. I wondered if the jabs messed up my hormones at all. Feeling a little nauseas this morning on W2 day 3.

Hopefully once the menstrual cycle is out of the way the scales will be kind to me for weigh day on Thursday.

Otherwise I can’t complain at all.

I really don't know what to do for re ordering, e mail from Med Express suggests upping to the 5 and last week I was fully onboard with that as I didn't feel like it fully worked. 3rd dose on Thursday gone and it feels like week one. Appetite suppressed, avoidance of fatty foods, limited interest in anything sweet. But I am also very tired, very! The low level nausea I can cope with but the tiredness is getting me, especially in this heat we have had.

I do want to keep losing a decent amount for an event early August and an ankle operation coming up in the next couple of months.

Will the jump to 5 make me even more tired and increase the nausea?? Any experience and thoughts on this greatly needed. I do need to decide and reorder.

Update on this, I also put it on the general WLI forum and someone made a great suggestion of ordering the 5 but easy to do half dose if I want or full dose, rather than waiting the 4/5 weeks for re ordering a different level.
Also a suggestion about a supplement for helping with energy.

Thanks for the tip, I will be buying sprite later!

I weighed yesterday and have lost another 2lbs, so that’s 8lb in the first two weeks. I am really happy with that, I’ve got loads to lose, but this is a good start.

I am due to reorder in the coming week and am going to stick with 2.5 for now. I am going on holiday in 10 days time, and don’t want to make any changes that might impact me when I am away.

Sending positive vibes to everyone, have a great week!

@hope1000 I had a look and can’t actually find the anti-nausea meds I bought, so can’t check the brand. I got them last time I tried MJ but never actually had to use them (GI symptoms were my eventual undoing). But they were OTC travel sickness pills from Boots. I did cane the Colpermin, though.

When I injected yesterday (3rd dose) I didn’t put the full 2.5 dose in but couldn’t work out the clicks. When I released it went back to the start like usual. So will prob have some left in pen after next weeks dose. Can I extract it out at the end ? Have no clue what to do? Or just write it off.

I must admit I feel so much better than I did last two weeks with hardly any nausea and more energy. Can eat but only small amount still so that dose seems better for me. Actually feel like I could do some exercise now.

@hope1000Ive bought syringes online for the bonus dose left within the own. Thought it could also be a nice prep for going up to 5mg as usually there’s around 3mg or so left.

Hi, had my 2nd jab Friday evening, don't feel the suppression as much, but maybe that's because the nausea has gone. Didn't get scales until the Tuesday, so using that as my weighing day. I've lost 6 lb! So happy. The only other thing is, I'm having pretty weird dreams, anyone else experiencing this?

Sw 12st 6lb
Cw 12 stone
Gw 10st 10 ( I think)

Strangely I've started having dreams whereas I usually have none which is odd!

I'm on week 3 and weighed myself to see no change which is a little disappointing but I keep telling myself it's a marathon not a sprint and my clothes are feeling a little less tight so something must be changing! I've reordered 2.5mg of pens from Asda again

@ForgottenFairyoh my gosh I have too! Even been having wild dreams - (wink wink) if you know what I mean. I actually started to think it’s laced with some blue pills!! Haha TMI! Unless it’s the nausea lifting and I feel more alive I don’t know. How funny

I’m having really vivid dreams too (not quite as exciting as yours @hope1000 !) I’m on Week 4 Day 4 and randomly had a really upset stomach today. Every time I think the side effects are over, something comes back! Have lost 1st 3lbs so far though.

Thats an incredible loss so far congratulations!

I feel like I’m missing out on the vivid dreams side effect 😂

I’m having on/off constipation but managing it with a sachet or two of movicol if I need to.

Has anyone suffered from headaches? Not sure if MJ related but yesterday I had a pounding headache all day, paracetamol and ibuprofen didn’t touch it until I gave up and went to bed at 7pm with an ice pack on my head. I slept the whole way through!!!

W3 weigh-in in two days. Looking forward to it.

The only other thing I am experiencing is tiredness, my dreams are disturbing, more like nightmares. None last night though, maybe the few drinks helped haha. Suppression has come back and I'm eating like a hamster come evening time.

Well done, love seeing these losses

I’ve just ordered some. It looks like I have a lot left in the pen. I’m currently week3, jab again on sat, which should be my last one out of the pen. Seems quite a bit left?? So Confused! It’s definitely working, haven’t been injecting air! I reduced the last one but only by a tiny bit. Looks like two doses left.?

@TouchOfSilverShampoo I’ve had more headaches than usual, but think it more dehydrated for me.

Had a bit of sushi for lunch. Only managed 2 rolls (would usually eat 5) and now feel a bit sicky. I seem to be doing that whole my eyes are too big for my belly thing! I really fancy food but then it disappears when I start eating. I don’t think I’ve lost much this week if any at all. So will do the full 2.5mg dose on Saturday jab day.

How is everyone doing?

Headache has abated for me finally but I’m going to do my third jab this evening so no doubt it’ll be back tomorrow! Oh well.

Today is weigh day.

W3D1 - 10lbs loss in total!! Really pleased with that. I’m definitely LOOKING less bloated but I don’t think any of it is actual fat yet, more water weight. Looking forward to really knuckling down over the next month.

I do have a big night out this weekend, which is rare for me - so I hope I don’t ruin it!!!

SW - 175lbs
CW - 165lbs
GW - 140lbs

Well done!! That a fantastic loss!

Hi All in the MJ gang

I still struggle to believe I am actually doing this! I honestly fought against it for so long but here we are.

Yesterday was weigh day and going into the lower stone bracket is a thrill

SW 12.7
CW 11.13
-8lbs

Took jab number 4 last night. I have ordered and received the 5.0 pen for pen 2 and will decide next week whether I go to the 5 or just do a half measure.

Have a great Friday everyone.

Brilliant, well done 👍
My 3rd weigh day today.
SW 98 kg
CW 93.3 kg
GW 65kg
Loss 4.7 kg
