Mournjaro newbie - when to take?

[Georock]

My parcel has just arrived! I’ve put in fridge as instructed. Should I take right now or wait till tomorrow? Just for context I’ve been really depressed today so I’ve been stuffing my face with junk food and had a few glasses of wine. Kids are not here right now as DH has taken to his family for a visit. I don’t know whether to take now or wait till tomorrow. I’m thinking after Xmas break I will be back in work too so maybe good idea to start on Sundays but I don’t know what to do. Any advice pls

I do mine on Friday nights as I wanted both the worst side effects and highest suppression at the weekend - side effects because I didn't want to have them at work and suppression because I find the weekends harder to stay in control. But are you sure you want to start just before Christmas? You don't know how you'll react and it would be rubbish to have bad side effects impacting on the holidays.

I had my first jab of Mounjaro about ten minutes after the parcel arrived.
I think it was about 11am on a Tuesday.

It doesn't make any difference when you start because you can change your jab day whenever you like.

@RenegadeKeeblerElf i rather start in the holidays as don’t want it to impact my work. I have very strict times at work I can use the toilet so I’m worried about that. I’m not really going anything over the holidays not seeing any family or friends it’s just with kids really

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne oh I didn’t know that, I thought you had to take same time and day

I would also wait until after Christmas. I felt quite nauseous in my first week. Definitely don't take it after a day of junk food and alcohol as some people find it affects them quite quickly and you might feel even more nauseous

You are supposed to take it on the same day, although there is a bit of leeway. It's not desperately important to be the exact same time though.

I would normally say the best time is right now. But 3 days before Christmas? Don’t do it. Wait 4 days. Maybe to the weekend. You would more than likely be fine but it’s a risk to feeling shit on a day that revolves around food when you don’t know how you will react. And like someone already said, eat ‘clean’ and stay very hydrated for 24h before first jab to minimise chance of side effects.

I do mine on a Sunday as my suppression is less the day before and it means that I can enjoy a treat On a Saturday - whether that be a glass of wine or a bar of chocolate. Crazy that is a treat now as pre Mounjaro it was mainly a daily thing! I can't over indulge but it's nice to not feel too bloated after them!
