April 26 Mounjaro Weight Loss Starters. (title edited by MNHQ at request of the OP)

[TFICoffeetime]

Hi starting mounjaro this week is there a thread already set up I can join?

It might just be me but I seem to drink more through a straw so I use a water bottle with a squarish straw if I don’t I just sip but a straw makes me gulp (that doesn’t sound nice but hopefully you know what I mean)

I'd like to join you. I'm planning to submit my first application (for a prescription) this week. Been thinking about doing this for approx one year.

I’ll join this one too, my first jab was on Sunday. Feeling pretty good, haven’t had any gastric issues or side effects yet and my appetite is definitely reduced

aiming for 2 stone weight loss

Oh god I hope we can have caffeine! To be fair I've heard it can make you constipated so I think I will allow myself a morning coffee unless it's an absolute no. I need the caffeine for energy!😂

Good luck. Exciting you're about to start.

Try not to loose hope. Men have entirely different metabolisms. And their bodies don't store fat or distribute in the same way as we do.
I'm sure it will kick in as you go higher. You've probably kept your water levels up. It must be disheartening and something I worry about but until you move up, you won't no. Your body is probably wanted a bigger dose. We are complex beings with hormones etc. I'm sure you will start to see more change as you move forward with it. X

@likewhatyoudo Take the plunge, we will support x

Fabulous! I’m on week 3. Going to do jab 4 of the 2.5 tomorrow as I wanted to gradually get the jab day closer to weekend. I have just ordered the 5mg and am a bit nervous. Have had no symptoms other than some indigestion and have lost 10b in the past few weeks. I’m really pleased with that :)

Well I spoke too soon on the no side effects. Yesterday I only managed 800ish calories and even those were forced. Today I’ve had 636 calories and physically cannot get anymore in, I’d be sick as I’m just so full. Water intake is 2000ml, and I average around 8000 steps a day.

Hey! Where are you all buying it from? I’m going to try and get it tonight, I’ve been thinking about it for months but the side effects I see on social media media are really freaking me out. X

I got mine from pharmacy2u £146.24 including postage

Thank you! How long have you been on it or haven’t you started? I really just need to bite the bullet.

I’d just go for it. I was terrified for the symptoms but it’s been 4 days and I’ve just had a bit of a increased heart rate overnight the first night but that’s it

you really don’t know what symptoms you’ll get. Worst that happens is it doesn’t agree with you and then you come off it. Best that happens is that you’re fine and it changes your health and life!

Simple online pharmacy £133ish ordered yesterday got approved today postage tracking says I should have it by tomorrow

@LWestYorks had my 2nd 2.5 dose Friday, did it for a month last year it was great, the appetite suppression was strong, but this time not so much, will persevere and hope I get that appetite suppression when I increase to 5mg

I’ve done it and awaiting dispatch, went though MedExpress. I am BRICKING IT to start. If it arrives before the weekend I think I may start Sunday?

Is this the April thread startersto write in I presume? :-)

Men often lose more quickly than women. If he’s losing well on 2.5mg, he doesn’t need to move up a dose yet. Best to wait until the suppression drops and then increase the dose. Taking a higher dose won’t make him lose faster. Does he have much weight to lose?

On the other hand, you might be someone who does need to increase their dose to start losing weight. Every body reacts in a different way so try not to compare your progress with his. Are you feeling any suppression at all? Are you strictly calorie counting and eating a deficit. Check your TDEE.

As a woman, it’s no good just relying on eating smaller portions if you’re still consuming say, over 1500cals. I have to eat around 1200 cals to lose a pound a week on MJ. I’ve lost 3 stones so far and accept that compared to others it’s slow progress, but it’s not a race.

Some people don’t start to feel any suppression and see progress until they reach 7.5mg or even 10mg. Keep going. You will get there.☺️

@WappityWabbit can I increase my dose on week 3 to 5mg I have no appetite suppression at all?

@WappityWabbit I will tell DH he might not need to move up yet, maybe he will switch with me so I move up to 5mg a week early and he moves up a week later. When he gets back from France I will ask him.

im still waiting for mine to arrive I keep checking Royal Mail tracking

Can I join you all? Ordered Wegovy yesterday, it’s been approved and dispatched today so should be here tomorrow. I’ve got about 3 stone to lose. Decided to try the cheaper option first, so hoping it has some effect.

It’s arrived 🎉 I’m going to do my first jab tonight

Mine's been despatched. Eek! I think I take it on Saturday.

Ooh, let us know how you get on!

Hello all, can I join please? I did my first jab on Sunday, feeling ok so far with some appetite suppression and no side effects yet! I would like to lose 3.5 stone.

I will do 🤞🏼
