Mounjaro - Starting soon!

[ObsidianTree]

I have decided to start with Mourjano. Have put an order in with Asda and should hopefully be delivered soon!

Anyone else going to give Mourjano a go?

yeah I am on Wegovy but Mounjaro sounds better.
did asda make you send a photo?

[TwirlyWitch]

my Mounjaro has arrived from Asda today, just taken my first injection. I used Ozempic 18 months ago and lost 5 stone but 2 stone has crept back on. I tried Wegovy at the highest dose last year and it didn’t work at all so hoping this will work. I had to send 2 photos to Asda. One of a scales reading and 1 full body photo. It came the next day.

I've been waiting for it to become available, ordering straight away!

[TwirlyWitch]

Yes! 🙌 They were super quick and I applied yesterday morning, got it prescribed by the afternoon and it arrived today.

[Fantina]

How much is the prescription per month?

[TwirlyWitch]

It was £187.99 with postage

[Fantina]

Thanks @TwirlyWitch. Good luck to you all, I may join you at some point

Yes they do. One standing on the scales and one full body shot

Mine arrived today but going to wait to take it for a bit as I already have a 0.25 wegovy pen that still has 3 doses left. Don't want to waste the money so will probably finish that before starting the murnjaro. They are saying you need to wait before switching, but in America they don't have to wait, so thinking maybe UK is over cautious. But will think about waiting a bit before taking it.

How are you feeling after taking it?

[TwirlyWitch]

I’ve felt pretty good so far. A slight headache and very very mild nausea, eaten much less than usual already- I’ve missed this feeling!

[ObsidianTree]

That sounds great! Can't wait to start!

Good luck!

[HouseNoMore]

Ordered yesterday and Asda were so quick! Missed the 3pm dispatch by minutes so it's arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to start

[Buffypaws]

Mine is approved now… still have three Wegovy doses but I might double up and get them gone in two

[HelloMiss]

Only the 2.5 dose in stock

Will they let you start on the 5.0?

What dose are you on?

I do want to finish the Wegovy fast so I can start this! So might try and increase to finish it quicker. Didn't get side effects from first jab, so might be ok.

I'm thinking because everyone will be on 2.5ml, they haven't ordered the 5ml yet.

I don't think anyone will be allowed to start on a higher dose in UK

[PeachPoster]

I'm just about to start on this too! I can't believe that I've actually taken the plunge and ordered it! I had a horrible shock on the scales this morning....😳

I’m on 1.7. I’ve only lost a stone.

[FlappyFish]

Mine arrives today. Line the poster above I can’t believe I’ve taken the plunge. Also Asda. No it’s not cheap. But neither is eating endless food. I’m 5’7 and starting weight of 14 stone. Would love to keep track with you all.

[Buffypaws]

yes Lets all keep track
I’m dying to know how it feels - if it’s noticeably more effective than Wegovy from the off
i get appetite reduction but it’s subtle and I am also suddenly mad for pudding

[FlappyFish]

Mine has arrived and first injection done. Very straightforward. I’m due on tomorrow and normally want to eat and eat. Really curious as to how it will work. Also well aware the psychological side of knowing I’ve taken it will have an impact.

[zobalina77]

Mine also arrived today from asda and have done my first injection. Really quickly processed as I only ordered on Thursday night.

[PeachPoster]

Yes mine arrived today too so I think I'm going to take my first shot tomorrow. I have a lot of weight to lose as weighed in at 17 stone which I was so shocked at! I have just given up on diets over the last few years as they just set me off with even more overeating and I've just let myself go. I feel really good about my life in general and have worked hard at my mental health, but I seem to have disconnected from my body and I'm not taking care of it and at 47 I'm worried that I'm going to get seriously ill.

I work from home at a computer all day and I'm so sedentary despite having a load of gym equipment I could be using. I'm feeling awful -my feet hurt all the time after walking and my joints are sore going up the stairs. I'm really hoping this helps to quiet all the food voices and cravings, so i can make better choices in food and exercise.

I'd love to hear how you are all getting on. I'm feeling really positive about beginning. I've got myself some electrolyte drinks and a new water bottle to get me started!!!

[ObsidianTree]

I have decided to just start when it's been 7 days since my last shot of Wegovy. So will take my first shot on Tuesday!

I started keto in Jan at 17st 6lbs. I lost a stone but then feel off the wagon after about 3 weeks. Seem to have maintained at 16st 6lbs since. I started wegovy a week ago and haven't lost anything. Hoping murnjaro will be a quicker weight loss like reported by Americans.

So starting stats:
SW 17.6lbs
CW 16st 6lbs

Height 5'8

Good luck everyone. I will post on Tuesday when I have taken jab.

Anyone else that's taken it etc, keep us posted on how it is etc :)
