My first jabs arrived today. Thinking of starting Wednesday which is technically end of April but wanted to start a new group for anyone starting soon!

Nervous but kind of excited for good results. Watched a YouTube video instruction for the pen before, I might get my husband to do it for me!!

Anyone want to join me and share / support each other??

Hey jabbed for the first time last night. Tummy felt kind of heavy this morning and went to the toilet a few times (unusual
For me). Not hungry for breakfast at all but did eat something small. However, lunch came and maybe due to habit, I started thinking about having a bag of crisps alongside what I was eating. I didn’t but now I definitely feel hungry. Obviously early days so just hoping the food noise/appetite suppression will kick in over the next week as really built taking MJ up in my head, and don’t want to be disappointed now I’ve committed. Also have been really thirsty so making sure to hydrate.

I’ve felt exactly the same! Forced breakfast (just some Greek yog and fruit) but was hungry ish for lunch and hungry again now but then I haven’t managed very much when eating so maybe just little and often?

@RhannionKPSS it’s tricky to get going. Where are you up to? Have you got your jabs or still thinking about it?

True, I only had a small lunch so will be interesting to see what I manage at dinner time

Ive forced myself to eat some cheese as a snack as I dont have time to make dinner before evening class and suspect I may 'forget' to eat a proper meal this evening or just eat leftovers from yesterday. I dont really feel hungry. I do feel a bit farty and burpy though,. which is fun

I’m having my first injection tonight. A wee bit apprehensive about side effects 😬

I started in the April group but only took my first does last Saturday 25 so I'm going to move in here if that's okay
.
I've had very bad acid reflux but that has got a bit better, Rennies have helped with that. I have a hiatus hernia so it was somewhat expected. Not had the constipation which is also expected.

I have gone to a local pharmacy, probably paid more but the pharmacist was absolutely wonderful. Can call if I have issues and go back in 4 weeks to see how I've got on, very thorough explanation of everything

I wasn't hungry to start off with but I am a little now but that could be because I've reduced my portion size.

Not able to do too much exercise as I'm so overweight, old and rolled my ankle but I'm doing chair yoga

Just really need this to work for me as my BMI is 40.

Thank you for responding.
I am thinking about which product to try. I put on 3 stone in the last 3 years and at 5ft 2 it’s literally weighing on my mind and body.

@RhannionKPSS it’s a big decision. I mulled it over for a month or so before taking the plunge and then did a lot of research and asked questions on here etc.

I actually used chat gpt at the very beginning to help me decide between wegovy and mounjaro and then I used monj.co.uk to pick a provider

do you have any specific questions?
