Scared to start

[TreeHuggerMum1]

So, I’ve had my first dose of Mounjaro in the fridge for a week! I’m so scared to start. I had a really severe reaction to (an unrelated) medication last year and it’s really made me nervous to try anything new. But! I really do want to give this a go. Anyone started and didn’t get side effects??

I took my first dose tonight so I will let you know!

Hundreds of thousands of people take it and for most people the side effects are minimal.
Just crack on. I took Wegovy but it's the best decision I've ever made, zero regrets.

@Papergirl1968 how was it ?

I can’t honestly say I’ve noticed much difference yet. No side effects and still pretty much as hungry as ever.
Hoping it will kick in over the next couple of days.

I’ve felt a bit bloated today and not as hungry as usual.
I need to train myself to make smaller than usual meals and - as the GP advised - stop when I’m full. My default setting is to finish whatever is on the plate so it’s changing that mindset.

Definitely feeling less hungry than usual the last few days, and not craving chocolate, cake, crisps etc.
I hadn’t lost any weight on Tuesday but seeing as that was only three or four days in, it wasn’t really surprising.

Hi there, I’m due to start this week and I was just wondering how you were doing on it?
Thank you in advance

Sorry, @Jem2409 I didn’t your message.
Slowly is the answer.
It took me about six weeks to lose half a stone even though I was eating only a fraction of what I used to.
Side effects were ok apart from some heartburn especially if I’d eaten too close to going to bed.
I started with a stomach bug on Thursday so skipped Friday night’s injection on the advice of the pharmacist who said to take it a couple of days late if it clears up or skip it altogether if not. Still having bouts of diarrhoea so I think I’ll leave it till next Friday now. And even with that and projectile vomiting I only lost another pound.
How are you doing?

Hi, I took my 4th injection on Saturday. As of yet no side effects thank goodness. Don't think had any weight loss as of yet. I too was also very nervous.
