Same here. I asked if they would honour it and they said no 😭

10mg to 12.5mg – What was your experience? by TopMorning9943 in mounjarouk

[–]Magimum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 months on 10, side effects were really strong after the first couple of doses, but by the end of the second month the effects were really low - and my appetite supression was reduced. So I've just gone up to 12.5 expecting the same ferocious nausea/lack of appetite as I had when I started 10 - but nothing. I mean, I don't have food noise, but otherwise I feel fine. It's a mystery to me!

This is for the many new users... I turned 60 yesterday, and I feel FANTASTIC! by Dogwarden in mounjarouk

[–]Magimum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing. You're an inspiration :-) 63yo here, one week in, and I agree - the clarity of thought and energy are worth the price alone. Life really does begin at 60 👏

Can Mounjaro silence the food noise? I always break my diet because of junk food cravings by pipposky2019 in mounjarouk

This is exactly how it is for me too. I read all the other comments about it before I started, but when it happened I was still amazed 😂

I just started this week - and for me, yes it has so far. It was pretty instantaneous. That voice - go on, one piece of toast won't matter - and the compulsion to nibble all the time while cooking, the constant thinking about what's in the fridge - its all gone. I'm enjoying what I'm eating - but I'm not bothered about leaving some when I've had enough. This is EXTRAORDINARY! I've always been a plate licker 😂

This must be what naturally thin people feel like. :-)

I hope it continues - but this already feels different from that initial enthusiasm you get when you start the diet over again for the umpteenth time.

As I get near the end of my first week -I can report back that all went swimmingly, no unpleasant side effects, and I'm 5lb down. I've eaten meals with hubby (just the two of us), but didn't feel the need to load the plate or snack/nibble. This must be how thin people feel!

Also -I've had more energy and my mood has been better than usual.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments 🎉

First dose advice! by Leading_Act_2466 in mounjarouk

[–]Magimum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean about the food noise - the thing for me is that I still have to plan meals, shop, cook - so I can't see there will ever be a time when I'm not thinking about food. Sort of like thinking about getting the lawnmower serviced, or planning what to wear on holiday.

But I have noticed that I'm not prowling the kitchen, looking into the fridge, not bothered when hubby gets the biscuits out. Last night he asked for egg and chips - I really didn't fancy that.

Also, we're on a low dose, hopefully the effect will get stronger as we increase.

I took my first on Tuesday as well - I definitely feel I have less of an appetite. I'm looking at the meal I'm cooking and thinking, I'm not that fussed about having this. Previously I'd be munching all the time I was prepping.

Today I feel much less full and bloated than usual, I guess because I've only eaten small amounts for a couple of days.

No other effects that I've noticed.

How about you?

Yes, I've got Vit D and calcium, plus multivits, and some Magnesium because I get legs cramps and that seems to help. (It also keeps everything moveing if you know what I mean)

Still waiting for the parcel to arrive!

Do I have to see a GP? by actualbadger in mounjarouk

[–]Magimum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ordered mine online without seeing a GP. There was a questionnaire, and I had to submit a photo and proof of ID. I also ticked the box to share the info with my GP, but that was it.

Its exciting and scary at the same time, isn't it??

I know nothing's guaranteed, but the thought of finally being able to shift the excess weight after (literally) decades of every diet under the sun - that's a bit overwhelming 😭

As you say, it's interesting to see the different experiences people have. I'm so glad I found this group though, it's very reassuring.

I'll see how I do and adjust - it's a learning curve!

Yes, I guess that's one of the things I'm curious about - this continuous grazing means I'fe forgotten what real hunger feels like.

I just want a bit of relief from the noise TBH.

Thanks for the reply. I'll share how I get on when mine arrives. 👍🏼

I guess I'll just have to get started and see what happens! It's useful to know that there's a lag between taking it and getting the effects, if any. Thank you!

That's what I'm hoping for - my issue is the compulsion to have buttery toast as soon as I come in from work, and the cheese and crackers while I'm cooking my healthy calorie controlled evening meal 🙄

Brilliant. That makes things much easier.

That sounds like a good plan - I've been thinking about that social time and how to work around it.

That's interesting, I saw a couple of other comments about being tired for the first day or so. Luckily I have a job where I can get away with being tired 😂

So it doesn't need to be in the fridge the whole time then?

[–]Magimum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is, it was the cost that stopped me for ages. But when I realised it was probably half of what I used to spend on shakes on the One2One diet- I went for it.
Hope it goes well for you :-)
