July 2026 Tablet Starters

[nearlyemptynes]

Has anyone taken the step to order the tablets and wish to share their journey?

I’m day 11, lost 4 lbs
want to lose another 8
I haven’t really had any side effects Just benefits in that I’m so less achey generally and no blood sugar crashes.
im staying on the same dose next month , figure might as well while its working and would actually rather stay on them longer than get to goal weight quicker .

I’ve also got a Bolt referral code but it only works for new joiners I think.

Day 11 and about 5lbs down.
I had a great first few days BUT...the last couple of days have been very different for me.

Im no longer feeling full. Im going back to picking at sweets and crisps, ordering take aways (although Im not eating as much as I normally would).
I don't understand it.

Im drinking 2ltr of water a day and eating high protein (over 100g a day).

I feel like my body has got used to the pills and Im going back to how it was before. This is the last thing I need when its so expensive in the first place.

Ive been offered the 4mg so I think im going to have to bite the bullet and move up a dose.
Has anyone else noticed that their body may be becoming used to the pills?
Is it just a sign that Im ready for the next dose??

Yes I’d say that’s a sign to go up to 4mg. 1.5 is just to get your body used to it, for some it will wear off quicker than others.

Day 19 for me ✅

I weighed myself early today and was bang on 70kg. Start weight 74kg so 4 kg / almost 9 lbs in just under 3 weeks! I’m staying one more month on 1.5 and see what happens..

On day 11 here and I really don't feel as though it's having much effect. I am eating more healthily but I feel like that's because I'm aware, iycwim, rather than any suppression of appetite. I could probably carry on exactly the same as always, if I wasn't being careful, like the beginning of any diet. Hopefully going up to 4mg next month will help.

Im on day 12 and just wondered if anyone has any opinions about the following:

Ive had almost no side effects so far.
Ive lost 5lbs.
BUT...
Im not feeling as full as I first did.
Cravings and bad habits are creeping in.

SO....
Ive got the option to order the 4mg now and assume they'll arrive within a week.

Should I start the 4mg ASAP knowing that I can fall back on my 1.5mg if the side effects are really unmanageable (I would have around a week's supply of 1.5mg leftover) or....should I take the full 30 days of 1.5mg and switch to 4mg after that?
Any advice/experiences welcome 🙏

Who have you bought with?

arent the suppliers supposed to be on hand for guidance ?

Im only on day 4 but intend to follow the suggested doses / programme and build gradually over time

i dont think there is supposed to be a dramatics change when on the pills. It’s more slow progress

@pouletvous MedExpress

Day 10 and all effects have gone - craving all the crap again. So I think I’ll def go up to the 4mg next month.

Still only 1 kg down but DH just commented that I look like I’ve lost weight - I think 6mths of gym is finally paying off so actually I’m happy not to lose much if my shape changes. I have actual biceps and triceps for the first time in years 🥳

eta @pouletvous with Bolt and happy to share a referral code if you want one

Bit of an update from me. Did my week 3 weigh in and I’m 70.8kg. I always weigh in the morning before I have eaten.

SW 74kg
7 days 71.2kg
14 days 70.4kg
21 days 70.8kg (though mid week I was 70.0kg)

I had been looking to stay on 1.5 but I’ve just asked to change to 4mg as I’m worried the effects are wearing off :) I am still on the calorie tracking and have noticed the food noise is returning slightly too.

Feeling Down.
Day 13 and the weight loss has stalled. I've got hardly any suppression at all and I just crave all the old bad things from before 😞
I dont even feel like Im taking the pills at all.

Joining the thread, received my pills today and will start them Saturday. Veeeery nervous. I took Mounjaro for a few months last year and had bad side-effects throughout, even though on half the lowest official dose. I wanted to actually split the pills in half to ease in but have read they are ineffective if you do that, so I will go for it with a full pill.

Same. I could easily eat whatever is put in front of me!

Im seriously thinking about buying the 4mg and starting them 10 days early.
I can just see me gaining the weight Ive lost if I keep taking the 1.5mg

Im on day 5

i swing from hungry to full throughout the day (without eating)

i am eating less and feel very full in the evenings

also feeling bloated a lot: like Ive been to the pizza hut buffet

not going to weigh as im sure lack of weight loss will demotivate me

Am on Day 11. Lost 4lbs the first week but am now away for 2 weeks with no scales to track progress. Have had fairly minimal side effects but definitely a reduction in food noise and am feeling fuller more quickly. Am beginning to consider what I do next month - stay on 1.5 or move to 4? I will obviously be ‘discussing’ this with my provider but wondered if anyone here could advise based on their experience.

Is there any point in taking 2 x 1.5mg tablets a day?

That's a really good point... unfortunately, I don't know the answer 😂

Constipation has set in. What do people
do to combat that? Never been a problem in my life!

For some strange reason, I have the full feeling back this morning.
Ive only had coffee but feel too full to eat.
This is how I felt in the first couple of days.
Ive decided that Im only going to weigh once a week as I think daily weighs are making me feel worse about lack of movement on the scales.

@pouletvous you could try upping your fibre intake and making sure youre drinking plenty of water.

Most days I have Greek yogurt with ground flax seed mixed in and fruit. If I’m feeling a bit sluggish, I put unpeeled kiwi in with a bit of granola to mask the texture. Seems to be keeping things moving.

Are you sure it’s constipation and not just that you are eating less so producing less iyswim?

@NortyTorty

yes! Probably that
