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??

I ordered 5mg for my second pen... but am starting to worry that maybe I was too hasty.

Haven't had any bad side effects (apart from having a harder time doing cardio as my heartrate is up) but felt by the second week of mounjaro that the suppression was really waning and cravings were coming back. So when it came time to order I went up.

I'm four days into my third dose of 2.5 and it hit me like a train this week! Barely had any appetite at all and quite a lot of burping/heartburn/headaches. I have my fourth and final 2.5 coming up on Saturday night (moved the injection timing a little from Sunday morning).

Thinking about click counting to 3.75 to see how it goes.

I lost 12 lbs in the first week and 1.5 lbs in the second week.

Did you feel a difference in dose?

It was only last night so I don’t know yet, sorry.

i definitely don’t feel like a can judge properly right now though as I’m 99% that my body is trying to give me my first period in about 18m so hunger could be caused by that

Not that anyone cares…but it was my period…ANNOYING!!!

Just sent this message to the Asda doctor:

"I have been taking Mounjaro starting dose for 6 days and eating a high protein diet. I have experienced the following:

Days 1-4: Excellent appetite suppression; very poor sleep.
Days 5-6: Very poor appetite suppression; improved sleep.

I'm disappointed that my appetite has fully returned now on Day 6. Do you have any advice?"

It's normal for it to start wearing off a couple of days before your next jab is due
