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?

All fine here, actually feel really good. The side effects thing has been what's been putting me off doing this for ages and I'm relieved that I have suffered lightly.
Did a sneaky weigh this morning and it's all going the right way thankfully! Will do proper weigh on Thursday morning x

Really well after the first couple of days ropey feeling days.. drinking plenty of diluted juice I can’t drink plain water but I’m making it as weak as possible but no fizzy pop or crappy snacks

I am just about to order wegovy. Partly for financial reasons, but also I am hoping to go slowish and for a long time as I have so much to lose. I am so worried about loose skin!

OMG that sounds scary! Not surprised you were so ill😮

I really struggle with plain water as well and am having very weak elderflower presse

Yes I had a sneaky weigh-in too! and all good, but very aware that my weight can go up and down every day so not going to rely on the numbers until Thursday

I'd like to join this group too please. I started on 28th March so I've had 2 jabs so far. Great to discuss and have some support x

Great to see lots of people joining in. Hopefully we can all share experiences and support each other.

My pen is sat waiting in the fridge, I am due on tomorrow and always struggle around that time so I am waiting until the weekend. I’m bricking it.

Hope all the new starters are feeling okay!

I had planned to start today. I have suddenly got really nervous and havnt done it. I feel in a panic about how I will work out what I can and can’t eat and how will I know how much to eat Please tell me I am being silly

ladies, I mean this with love, just start

stop putting it off - the side effects really aren’t bad (I haven’t had any) and the feeling of control once you’re on it is incredible

apricot - download the myfitness pal app and just log everything you eat in there. Make sure you have enough protein and fibre and that’s all there is to it!

Good morning everyone. Well done to those of you who have started! I’ve been dithering/delaying but the time has come and I need to get on with it now. I did about 3 months on MJ last summer but a combination of sickness and price hikes stopped me from continuing. I lost about 2st in those 3 months so I know how effective it can be.
Hoping to lose a minimum of 3st but preferably 5st before a milestone birthday early next year. I have been on a number of weight loss threads over the last few years and the support offered has always been so helpful and informative. Here goes .. !

Hi everyone, another new starter. Just had a notification that my first pen will be here today!!!

A few questions:

1. I am currently getting over a cold, should I wait until I feel 100% before starting?
2. Do people keep their pens in the fridge after opening? Am I right thinking it can be kept at room temp if below 30 degrees?

Excited and scared all at once!!

I have also been dithering for many months about taking the jabs but saw a friend who lost 5 stone on them recently and decided to go for it. I’m sick of being miserable about my weight and each time I start a diet it’s less effective than last time. Have ordered Mounjaro and waiting for a call from the pharmacy to complete the assessment. Switch between feeling excited about the weight loss and anxious about how it will go. Really hope it works and side effects are manageable. Good luck everyone. I’d like to lose about 2.5 stone.

Hello, I'd like to join too, my MJ pen arrived today, but I think I should maybe delay until Monday, as I have a big emotional family event happening this weekend, I'm really worried about side effects.
I'm doing it through Voy, and have already started logging my food in anticipation.
I need to loose at least two and a half stone, and am utterly fed up with the constant cycle of weight gain and obsessive dieting I feel like I have been doing for decades.

My 2nd dose is due tomorrow so I’m weighing myself later 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I would advise to wait until you feel 100% before starting - I had a cold when I started and I felt awful, the side effects were enhanced!!

Morning, How was the weigh-in?! Definitely noticed more appetite yesterday and for the first time this week fancied a glass of wine! But I resisted and 1st official weigh-in tomorrow morning.

Morning I’ve lost 4lb but I did stuff myself with 4slices of takeaway pizza last night so I’m looking forward to my 2nd dose

Well that's not bad then

No I’m quite pleased with it and to be honest I wouldn’t have had a takeaway but the food shop comes today so there was nothing in (we’ve been away) and the kids needed feeding

Morning all.
Does anyone know if there is any truth in the rumour that eating chocolate whilst on Mounjaro causes terrible side effects? Several people have mentioned it to me.
I still have chocolate from my birthday in November and Christmas, as I was too ill to eat, but I'm frightened to try any.

Morning all, I am on day 10 and have lost 7lb so far (which is great!), but I am definitely feeling less suppression this week compared to last week. I guess that means I'll need to go up to 5mg next month?

@zacsGranny i have eaten some Easter chocolate with no side effects, but I'm not experiencing any side effects anyway (yet).

This hasn’t happened to me! Try a small bit and see how you feel?

DH on first week and is having real trouble with diarrhoea . Any advice? Would taking anti diarrhoea meds interfere with effectiveness? We’ve just realised he needs to avoid caffeine. I’m sure this will settle down but would love to hear from others how long this lasted for etc. I feel so sorry for him as it took a lot for him to get this far
