June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (thread 2)

[SomethingAboutYou]

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

Sorry to sound stupid but what do you mean by therapeutic effects?

The alcohol suppression is great isn't it. It's what I really hoped for the most.

I did my 2nd jab yesterday. I've got the dizzy, spaced out feeling again I had last Sunday. I was expecting it this time so didn't panic!

I forced down 3 ryvita with almond butter for breakfast but food repulses me today.

My food shop was about £20 just now. I have stuff in cupboards and freezer and I'm meal planning and prepping.

I'd usually put lots of extra bits in, treats, and stuff. Not today...🤢😂

I am doing my jab in the next hour as just had a coffee and something to eat.
Apart from worrying about the jab , i dont have any money to go and buy any different food in till next weekend
I have pasta bake in the freezer and meat ( pork chops)
I have small potatoes and Mexican rice , eggs and freezer stuff .
Will I be ok on this till i can do a better shop ? Salad stuff and veg .
What about milk?
I cant drink tea without it …but i only have two cups a day and a milky coffee in the afternoon.
Rest of the time i have water .
I dont have sugar on or in anything.
I do have a large bowl of strawberries and raspberries in the fridge i picked yesterday
Is ice cream on them a No ? Its bog standard ice cream, neopolitan ?
Thanks

Forgot to add .
I sleep terribly so never get up till very late .
I dont have breakfast ( dont like many breakfast foods)
I usually have a cup of tea, then later on a milky coffee and a biscuit or 2.
Then at night a meal .
My problem was snacking at night, crisps, salted nuts, or sweets and chocolate

Didnt you say you were with Voy? If so, Speak to Voy - press the chat icon. Tell it what you’ve got and it will suggest the best way forward. No point paying all that extra money and not using it.

Good Luck Cat Lady x

I still have milk in my tea and have been fine. Some people have found side effects from sweet and creamy stuff so ice cream may not sit well on your tummy but you won't know until you try.

I find that I snack a lot at night when I've not had enough food throughout the day.

Use what you have this week, it would be a shame to waste what you have. I had chocolates in the house when I started and made them last over a few weeks instead of scoffing them all in one go!

Alcohol suppression is sadly not working for me, I drank A LOT of champagne at a friend’s housewarming yesterday… 😳

But food suppression has been amazing. I’m W4D4 and usually I’d eat loads of carbs and cheese after a big night and instead I’ve only had a piece of toast and a light lunch. So that’s my win for today!

Hi all! 3rd injection last night. For some odd reason, the morning after I’ve injected, I’m awake by 4.30/5am! 🤷‍♀️ I have no idea why. Anyway, I’m 10lbs down in 2wks!

I had wine for the first time last night since I jabbed. I still had a few glasses, but less than I would normally! I definitely had a point where I didn’t want anymore wine (which hardly ever happens!).

I’ve been for a run today (well walk, run I’m still getting back into it after heart issue).

My mounjaro has appeared on my prescription list for my GP. It says I can’t request it, but obviously Asda did inform my GP. Not that I mind.

Injection is just getting room temperature now, so 15 mins to do it, then will put back in fridge.
I dont have any scales at all , so i tried on some trousers i would like to get back into and some tops , will rely on that for now.
I hated scales even on my own i felt awful getting on them

Well i have done it , hope i did it right as never felt anything. Did it in my tummy

My jabs arrived eek. I don't know when to inject. I was thinking next sat so I'm home in case of side effects. Or should I just go for it?

I have yet to be tested by a social event/celebration...🤔

Gosh, does it have to get to room temp? I didn’t know and just did my first dose straight from the fridge yesterday.

I put mine off a couple of days ago. My pen came Friday .
Kept watching YouTube videos on now to do it and where.
Did my first one 10 minutes ago , didnt hurt at all .
Worst problem i had was getting to top of the needle !
Hope i have done it right as expected to feel something and i never heard the clicks after counting to 10 whilst needle still in

Oo good luck!!! Keep us posted how it goes over next few days. I'm just panicking. I have a busy week so maybe Sat is just most sensible 🤞

I've just taken my 4th dose of a 2.5mg pen. I'm planning to move up to a 5mg pen next time. However, there is still the "golden dose" left in the 2.5mg pen. Should I take this (or try to) and then hold the 5mg pen back for another week (I already have it). Would it keep ok - I'm not storing it in the fridge?

I waited until a Saturday for my first jab as I work Monday to Friday and was worried about side effects.

I thought it would be better to be close to or at home.

I do feel very tired and quite light headed on the Sunday but I could manage that at work on reflection.

So, it’s sat in the fridge and I’m too scared. The instructions have confused me. How many clicks etc . Scared I can over dose. I’m going on holiday 5th July, so I’m wondering do I jab tomorrow and next Monday and potentially lose 7lbs, and might be ill when we’re away. Or do I leave it until we get home ?? Decisions decisions

I only read that it can sting straight from the fridge , i dont know as only done my first injection an hour ago

I watched some videos on youtube before doing it and i was scared.
Didnt even feel anything , didnt hurt at all .
Worst problem i had was getting top of the needle 🤣🤣
I was also worried it wouldnt prime …it did ok.
When needle is in the pen just turn the bottom bit two clicks to the longer mark.
Hold pen upright and press in…should see a tiny drop end of needle.
Then turn the bottom bit to number one , put in wherever you are doing it and press bottom bit whilst its in.
When its pressed right in, hold bottom bit still and count to 10
I heard its supposed to click but mine didnt .
Then take it out , discard needle and put top on and done

While its in , slowly press the bottom still it says 0 .
Forgot to add that .
Then keep bottom bit pressed in and count to 10 , then take it out

You tube is good to watch a couple of times
