June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (thread 2)

[SomethingAboutYou]

12 days and we've filled a thread! Welcome to old and new june jabbers!

Feeling a bit guilty. Didn't really fancy it but ate half a large bar of chocolate. Bit pissed at myself but then took a breather, and realised stopping at half is an improvement on what I would have done before!! Also need to realise I can't avoid sweet treats forever and need to change my mindset on that!

Amazing, well done!

What made you do that? Can you work out what your triggers are? But yes, it’s good that you pulled yourself up.

I think it's just a terrible comfort habit when I feel stressed. Will need to think of something else to do instead 🤣

W1D5 I ate more today than the last few days (but <1000 cals) and I feel really full ☹️. Literally only meat/fish/salads but it’s brought on a feeling I can equate to eating too much Chinese lol. The jab is really doing its job I think.

Maybe a weird side effect but I’ve noticed I’m not as hot in this weather as I usually would be… is that a Mounjaro thing?

heads to google

I really want the being cold side effect! Fingers crossed it turns up soon. I’m feeling more full than usual and am also better at stopping when I’m not hungry (only had half a sandwich for lunch - previously I’d have been almost incapable of not finishing the other half even though I didn’t really want it).

For those with a sweet tooth, I’ve just had a bit of sorbet which was delicious and really sweet. I weighed out the recommended serving size which isn’t that many calories (much less than chocolate) and haven’t eaten the whole tub 😀

I’ve changed my chocolate in the evening habit to grapes in Greek yogurt. It’s still gorgeous and sweet and good for the protein level too.

Blimey this thread moves quick.
I'm just coming to the last jab of pen one tomorrow. I need to reorder over the weekend, and thinking of going up to 5mg.
Have any of you gone up to 5mg yet and did you notice much of a difference in SE or suppression? Thanks

Can tell its next jab time tomorrow. The hunger has been insane today and I have over eaten 😭

I hope i get the cold effect too . I am always so hot and i havent started it yet .
I have major issues sleeping too .
I like to sleep in the pitch black and quiet , but been so hot had air con on a few hours when i get in bed.
Have had trouble sleeping a few years now and being hot ( usually my head !)
Would love to sleep properly and well .

2 weigh ins so far and have lost 9lb - at 3rd jab they have put me up to 5m for next pen, worrying about side effects as I’ve had very bad heart burn and sulphurous wind which I’m struggling with
Anyone else getting same?

If you scroll back a week I’m asking for a handhold as I’d just done the first jab (which took me a few days to summon up the courage to do) and here I am a week later, 5 pounds down and no side effects. It was a big thing as I have health anxiety and am also phobic of medication.

I’m not saying I’m not worrying (I still am) and I’m still very reluctant to say I’m in the clear because I feel like I’m tempting (negative) fate, but your feelings are not unique.

i suspect you may feel better within a couple of hours of doing it.

The advice videos I’ve seen have very much been in favour of being led by you, not ‘them’.

if you don’t feel ready to go up, then advocate for yourself, you can always order another 2.5 and if they’ve already sent the 5 and you can’t cancel save it for after that,

I am deciding if to start mine Sunday or Monday.
Welcome to be a buddy for anyone too

We can support each other .
Dreading doing it the first time in case i do it wrong

I’m collecting mine tomorrow. I would love to be your buddy

You could also use the 5 pen to dispense 2.5, or build up to the full dose via 3.75 or whatever, by counting the clicks.

Great, lets hope we get on ok and lose some weight ❤️

@Gingercar Congratulations 👏 are you our first stone loser? Although stone winner feels like better terminology. Think we should have an award for everyone who hits a new stone loss. Here you are ……..🥇

I am interested in what the higher doses of mounjaro ‘do’ - is it just a continuation of the hunger suppression I.e you might need a higher dose to continue the same effect over time (or get to suppression if it doesn’t happen at a lower dose) or is there something else to it?

I am W4D3 and the hunger suppression is working well enough to not be hungry although I am wanting the odd packet of crisps now which I didn’t before. I am keeping in my calories although the weight loss feels like down to lb a week. But if I’d eat the same calories on 5mg (1,200 per day) is it any different to staying on 2.5mg?

w1 d6, lost 9.8lbs! I’ve had what I thought was no suppression, still drinking wine. But obviously something’s working. Can’t wait to jab again tomorrow night

Weight loss this week negligible. But still down 9lbs in 3 weeks.

I know water intake hasn’t been the best this week and have had some heavier meals and the snacking has ramped up towards the end of the week.

I too am curious what 5 looks like, I guess it’s the same as 2.5 as in it’s different per person.?

W2D1

down 2.9 kg (6.6lbs!) which I’m pleased with! Noticed appetite suppression lifting a bit yesterday so need to be careful today as would prefer not to jab until tonight. Kept drifting back to the ‘fridge last night despite having eaten plenty. And wanted chocolate for the first time in a few days. But have meals prepped and planned for today so hopefully it’ll be easier to ignore the fridge’s siren song.

anyone else noticed taste changes? Had some fizzy orange yesterday and it tasted utterly vile and chemically whereas it was a nice treat before. The fizz didn’t cause side effects though this time round so I suspect it was the cheesecake last time (or just the jab itself).

peppermint and liquorice tea definitely helped with the sulphur last week so I’m stocking up. Also quite nice cold - looking for calorie free cold drinks to replace fizz and cordial with. Still drinking plenty of water but want to ring the changes - anyone got a favourite?

Hello

so I’m coming towards the end of month 1 week 3!!

sw 12st 8lb
cw 11st 11.5lb

10.5 lbs lost !!! I’m delighted. So far. A big loss of 6lb in weekn1 and nice and steady since then.

so is anyone thinking of doing the golden dose and what syringes do you buy to do it !

• But if I’d eat the same calories on 5mg (1,200 per day) is it any different to staying on 2.5mg?*

i wonder this too
