May 2026 Mounjaro starters - thread 2

[madeinthe80z]

Can’t believe we are in a new thread! Keep It up everyone

I’d asked the question and looked it up and if you are going to take 2 doses from the same pen you should change the head. Each dose is 0.6ml and after the golden dose there was another 0.2ml left or so I’ve just guestimated I will have gotten about 3ml

Well done @TeamsThemeTune 🙌

Well I took the plunge and did 5ml from a golden dose from my pen . I had been doing 3.75 from the the 5 pen all month and managed to get a 6th dose then which was 5 ml . Am delighted , even though I still have to fill my subscription order so I don’t get cut off . I now have a full pen stockpiled for emergencies in the future . My weight has been up a pound down a pound up and down since I went on holidays . I am hoping it goes down and stays down now after this . Was pretty shaky and felt crap this morning , don’t know why . Perhaps low blood sugar . I decided to go up a dose as I found myself eating Nutella on a spoon this week , which I have not even considered or wanted to do since I started the end of April . The craving for chocolate has returned and I have been able to eat no bother . I need to be a bit more mindful . Doing lots of exercise though so that’s something ….. anyone else start 5 mg recently ?

I started with 5 on Sunday. I've been so tired! Early to bed last night and I had to have a sleep during my lunch break today as I also felt a bit shaky. But.....I do seem to have some appetite suppression which I didn't have on 2.5 and after 5 weeks my total loss was 1kg. I'm hoping 5 makes a difference.

Thanks Janif - yeah it will be worth the if the scales go down !!

Sick as a DOG today ! Did my first 5 mg dose last night after having taken 5 x 3.75 doses the last 5 weeks . Even that bit extra has knocked me out !! Haven’t been able to really eat today - no harm I suppose . Drank loads of water etc anyway

This sounds like me every week. Feel awful again after jabbing yesterday. I’ll be ill tomorrow too then back to normal.

worth it in the end though isn’t it.

That doesn't sound easy at all. I hope it stops feeling like that for you soon.

Aha , it seems to be a common reaction so ! I think only after a couple of weeks on one dose did it calm down and lessen …. Ans then repeated again once I went up a dose . I can actually cope with it as long as the weight drops iykwim !!

I will be ordering 5mg as soon as I land from holiday. The 2.5mg I took before we left has done nothing, the buffet hates to see me coming

Took 3.7 this morning, up from 3.1 (thank you @mollio for the instructions, it worked beautifully).

Just got into my hotel and checked in on holiday, popped out for a drink before getting some bits…and met a lovely waiter.

He told me mum was healthier than me, I shouldn’t drink Fanta lemon because it was bad for me and I should drink water instead. When I said I was on my holidays so it’s fine to drink it he told me to look him in the eyes and asked me ‘tell the truth, you are always on holiday aren’t you?’

Then he went on a massive lecture about how all my mum carried me for 9 months and all she wanted was for her daughter to have a nice figure.

What a rude and impleasant man. Immediately delete the memory of his impertinence and remember you are so much more precious than any random gobsworth can see. It doesn’t matter if we are big or small, we have as much worth and dignity as anyone else. I sincerely hope you didn’t take what he said to heart. Enjoy your holiday and feel free to ‘accidentally’ open a shaken Fanta bottle and point it in his direction as he walks by 😂

I did something worse, and I’m not proud of it, but also, fuck him.

After he brought the biscuits my mum told him he was out of order and he walked off with his hands up, no apology or anything…so she crushed them up and left them on the table and told me we were leaving.

Then in a rage I picked up the two drinks and poured them out on the table 😬 - now that the incident is over I feel like I shouldn’t have done it, but at the time I was in full rage mode. Unfortunately it made me no better than he is…but it is done now.

@Boreded I had to read what the waiter said twice, I honestly thought you were joking at first. Im so sorry your holiday got off to such a shitty and demoralising start, but truthfully, he's not worth the space in your head. I understand rage mode and its after effects of feeling regret, even shame, but we own it and we move on.

Have an amazing holiday ❤️

Weigh in today. I lost just under 5 kg, 6th jab today. Gone up to the grand total of 2.5mg 😂

WTAF?!! The Biscuits and drinks were a very reserved response, well done to you!
have a fab holiday, pleeeease try and move on fr that experience x

Excellent! And you've done it on a lower dose!

@Boreded you have encountered what is commonly known as a dickhead. They are everywhere. Some of them are waiters. And he'll still be a dickhead when you're thin, so fuck him.

You and your Mum sound like forces to be reckoned with.

Have a fabulous holiday. <3

Actually, I should have said "he'll still be a dickhead whatever you weigh", as that's more accurate.

May that waiter never feel the cool side of the pillow again @Boreded

Thanks guys…honestly it was so bizarre. What a dickhead indeed lol.

thats unbelievable, so so rude and uncalled for.

Honestly it was the most bizarre thing to have happened to me. I could not believe it, and he just kept on going…like read a room would you, stupid.

Oh my god the absolute cheek of him FFs !!
what country is it ?

Oh my god @Boreded! I'm so sorry you have had to deal with that waste of oxygen!

Why on earth would he think you gave two shits about his opinion? Is this a terrible attempt at 'negging'?
