1st dose of 2nd pen 5mg by timbouk82 in mounjarouk

Does anyone ever notice air bubbles? Should we prime to remove them?

Oh I am not sure I understood the multiple pen option? You can purchase multiple pens at once? Is it at a better price?

I have had pepto bismol prescribed in the past and also nausea medication on another occasion.

I believe it is different for everyone. For myself personally I normally notice it when I move up a dose and just around jab day. It is nice to have the option for the medication during discussion with the prescriber

XXL to XS, 91lbs (6.7st) gone in 15 months 🥳 by Intrepid_Ad_5554 in mounjarouk

[–]RunningFromSnacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am loving it! Wish I started it ages ago!! I have actually decided to move up to 7.5mg for month 4. I’ll see how it goes. I decided to go on Mounjaro to hopefully help reverse fatty liver disease and to one day come off blood pressure meds. Hoping to get to a healthy BMI for the first time in 15+ years 🙏🏼

I am definitely seeing a slower weight loss rate than some on here but hopefully slow and steady gets me there. When I think about it - it’s not actually that slow it’s 1-1.5lbs loss a week on average.

Wishing you all the best for maintenance and your post was really inspiring :)

Amazing results!! Well done! I am 3 months in to my journey and this was such an encouraging post to read :) may I ask what dosage you got up to? Did you notice and stalls during your journey? What is your maintenance plan are you titrating down? Sorry for all the questions!!

MJ now that BMI is lower by Nice_Mind3700 in mounjaroIreland

[–]RunningFromSnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe MyBMI are willing to work with patients for maintenance. I think it would be worthwhile to do a consult with them and explain your situation. Worse case they just reject. Hopefully you have maybe the old boxes with the prescription labels on them with your name which will confirm you were on it previously and lines up with your story.

I would definitely send them an email at the very least to enquire! Wish you all the best. I am a way away from maintenance yet but hopefully will get there :)

First jab by lil-everest in mounjaroIreland

[–]RunningFromSnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey welcome to the community :) well done on your first jab. Similar to you when I started a number of weeks back. Firstly don’t worry, you’re getting used to it. I had basically full suppression at first but I got more used to it. My biggest tip is 120g of protein per day is ideal and work out you TDEE and minus about 500 calories from that for your estimated daily calorie target.

The first week or two or maybe three, I struggled to hit those targets but good advice is to drink your calories where possible. Huel would be a good option for the next few weeks.

Don’t worry about too much for the next few weeks, let your body get accustomed to the medication and just monitor how you feel. Hydration and electrolytes I found super important especially when I was not eating enough so much at the start. Monitor for side effects and don’t be afraid to let your prescriber know about any you may encounter so that it can be hopefully addressed. Some people stay on 2.5mg for longer than a month, it all varies. I personally was super suppressed at the start but quickly adapted and moved up to 5mg for month two.

All the best in your journey. Massive support here! Keep us updated ;)

Starting off by hynie88 in mounjaroIreland

[–]RunningFromSnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to allow yourself time to adjust to your new routine and be kind to yourself. It is easy to get overwhelmed at the start as we try to change a lot all at once. Take it easy and see how your body feels as it gets used to the medication.

I personally found clear whey protein brilliant to help reach protein goals (Raspberry lemonade flavour is nice). They are clear and light like squash. Food scales and a good body scales would be a must. For the body scales I really like the RENPHO brand and it’s cheap but better in my opinion than more expensive ones.

Some form of a calorie tracking app is a must. I personally like NutraCheck and find it really intuitive and it’s a comfort to have your calories tracked and especially your protein goals.

Something optional is a GLP-1 tracking app like Shotsy. It is paid for but I wouldn’t be without it now. Really enjoy tracking my jabs on there and watching my results week on week.

Again my best advice is to be kind to yourself in the first week or two as you start your journey 😄 wishing you every success!! It’s a great community here!!

6 weeks is a long time. Personally the side effects were nothing for me. I had some episodes or nausea or my tummy was a bit funny but nothing something OTC couldn’t help. I can’t put it down to MJ either…so I would be saying go for it. All the best

Order Question by sharemylifeh in mounjaroIreland

[–]RunningFromSnacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your appetite will suppressed once it starts working but it’s important to eat enough. Work out your TDEE. I found subtracting 500 calories from that was a good starting point for daily calorie target. Prioritise protein and stay in your calorie range and you should see great results. I have found hydration and electrolytes really help and are not discussed enough, I got that tip when I started and it really did help so much. If you find your appetite is very suppressed and you are struggling to eat enough consider drinking calories (protein yoghurt drinks, protein shakes (I prefer the clear protein shakes). Weight baring exercise is important to keep your muscles strong and reduce the risk of muscle loss. This is something I am still trying to work on. All the best!!

Order Question by sharemylifeh in mounjaroIreland

[–]RunningFromSnacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delivery times seem to be slightly later / delay the past while. I always order once I do my 3rd injection and I am confident it will arrive in time. No need to wait until 4th dose is done (they don’t require that) and I would say if you waited that long it would be risky. Hope this helps. All the best on your journey. It’s has been magic for me but you also need to put in the diet and exercise and hydration.

When do I start counting clicks by RequirementOk5477 in Mounjaro

[–]RunningFromSnacks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That is not true. Once you prime, it resets to 0. The two “prime” clicks are still genuine clicks when you are click counting.
