June 2025 Starters - Mounjaro (thread 3)

[UglyBastardFace]

Roll up, roll up June Jabbers!

Let's become true losers!!

Just done my 2nd dose. Brought it forward a day just in case I get the squits again. Going to weigh in the morning, and hopefully if I don’t get bad side effects I will do this going forward. Pray for me 🤣

I took bisacodyl on Saturday night 😵‍💫 That soon had things moving along!!

I think others are suggesting Movicol - or something that sounds like thar!

I got my second pen today.

is there much of a difference when the dosage increases? It has all been going well so far.

I had been taking movicol and psyllium husk. Still nothing after a week!!! I have sluggish bowels anyway but MJ has made them virtually catatonic

From what I've read, stay on the lowest dose for as long as you can. If you're getting results at 2.5, why increase? Ive got a 5mg pen but only administered a 30 click dose. So, same as 2.5mg

Right I just done my first dose, I’m dizzy from anxiety I really hate being sick 😂😂😂 I decided to start with 1.25mg so 30 clicks of my 2.5mg pen

Sorry to be a pain , but has anyone got a link to the needles for the golden dose please ?
If anyone uses Voy, is there enough left in the pens ?
Thanks

Hi @Catladyof7 here are the ones I bought on the recommendation of other posters. ukmedi.co.uk/products/fms-micro-syringe-32g-8mm-1ml-fms-fms-32g-10ml-ukmedi-co-uk?variant=53484951142779&tw_source=google&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21773196199&gbraid=0AAAAAoaFwLs6hmcrgmELhkIPQZrlxzL2b&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgvnCBhCqARIsADBLZoI02meaLyf5OzkGrxONkXM-qvoFqnwlFIylas9igMlaPD8XaGu6IwMaAjJ3EALw_wcB

Hello!
I ordered these, seemed a decent price, everywhere seems to get you with the postage tho, but 10 💉 plus postage worked out at £7.50, you can also pick up some alcohol wipes too.

Day one done and I can't believe the changes already - still thinking about food a lot, but am noticing 10-15 minutes without thinking a few times. Previously unheard of!

Much less desire to snack, even turned down the Haribo at work! And not to "be good", just because I didn't fancy it.

No big side effects so far. A bit of nausea and some bad acid reflux - but that could be stress as it's been acting up pre-jab.

Hope everyone has a good Friday evening!

Bloke sugars!! 🤣

tbh I haven’t checked since I started. But I’ve not had any wobbles or side effects. I was just thinking that should check monthly. I was borderline pre diabetic when I started and have just started a nhs course. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was well under the level now.

Was doing so well today but then caved and had an ice cream with the kids after school! It’s that sort of thing I’d love to be able to resist. W2D4 and wondering if it’s 5 I need…

Its interesting how its different for different people .

Its day 1 for me too, I took it this morning for the first time, and i feel exactly the same as I always did.

Maybe try some suppositories. A week is a long time without a poo !

I think it’s fine though tk have some treats. I don’t think you can cut everything out as that will make it harder when you stop taking it. I suppose the hope is that you allow yourself to have the one ice cream and then you’re satisfied and you can track it and move on. Not have the ice cream, then a cake, then a chocolate bar etc. If that makes sense?

I’ve done some glute strength training today and will walk on the treadmill later. I need to find something good on Netflix/Prime while on it.

I had mine about 11pm last night, so maybe yours will kick in tomorrow.

I hope so! Im glad its working for you

Thanks @SunshineSipRepeatThat does make sense. It’s just frustrating I can’t seem to make it a single day without succumbing to something or other and although I’m not counting calories, I think I’m probably having more than I should be because my meals are the same and just as large and I haven’t cut out the treats either. I was hoping the jab would help me be strict at least until I’ve shed some of the weight before I moved onto a stage of making things more manageable for the future if that makes sense?

Thank you .
Week 1 , day 6 and starting to get food noise .
Think i may do my injection tomorrow as i did the first one last Sunday .
Been ok all week , but more hungry today

It's day 2 week 3. I ordered next dose 2 days ago from Medexpress and they didn't come back to me yet 💆. I wonder why.

Anyway, I started doing Caroline Girvan's Iron series for Weight Exercises and really liked it!

same!
W4D6 today and suppression is back and the urge to snack gone again!

I didn’t do measurements, which I regret so after weigh in tomorrow I will take some for comparison

What protein shakes are people using ? Ones that don't taste gross ? I'm fed up of protein yoghurts and puddings and wanting some variety for lunch can anyone recommend anything tasty ? Thanks .

I forgot to do measurements too , I'm just starting week 5 and gutted I didn't do any at the beginning, in wondering if it's worth it to do some now at the beginning of pen 2 🤔

You poor thing. Suppositories might be the idea!
