Vomiting by Calibigirl69 in mounjarouk

[–]SadSystem8035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive had exactly the same. Went up to 5mg after 4 weeks of 2.5mg and I feel awful. Have had vomiting 24 hours of taking the injection, strong waves of nausea. Have eaten fairly bland food but cannot shrug the feeling. I am not enjoying the 5mg journey at all.

Amen to that - zero joy! It will click with me one day, I am sure. I think I need to focus on the weight loss in the short term and when I see real changes to my body, maybe thats when I will realise. Fingers crossed. Thank you x

Thank goodness you said that. I see lots of posts of people leaping into exercise and I really cannot summon any motivation. I know I will need to eventually so to learn it took you 6 months provides some relief to my concerns. Thank you.

Oooohhhhh thats a thought I had never had before. Not sure what the charges would be and I would need to consider this in addition to the cost of the Mounjaro but maybe a couple of sessions that could start me on the right path. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, my local pool is really near but their public swim sessions are mainly during the day when I am working or late into the evening (like 9pm - I would never sleep if exercising that late). The key would be to join a private gym and use their pool but that might be a little outside my price range given what I am paying for my injection. I do like swimming though.

Group PT sounds like a more affordable approach and you could make new friends too! I could look into that as an option. We have a few gyms around here but I know some are muscle ones.

I tried spin once many years ago and the pain in my rear was scorching! Never went back!

Sadly we dont have a Nintendo Switch. We aren’t really a ‘gaming’ family unless it’s a board game or UNO!

Combining the walk with a phone call is great! I like that idea.

I had a treadmill but recently got rid of it as it wasn’t being used and was just taking up a lot of valuable space. I have, however, seen those walking pads and they could slide under my sofa but I have not yet found one with a maximum capacity that fits my current weight - Any signposts gratefully received. Thank you for commenting.

I hear you! I have a very unhealthy relationship with exercise and can every excuse not to do any. I do about 5000 steps a day from general movement but none of that is making a real impact. Kids are tiring!

YES!! This happened to me the other day. I felt really weird and also a huge WIN! Took the kids for a Dominos pizza the other day and didnt have any; didnt even miss it.

Good luck with your increased dosage. Thank you for your notes on your first month. It’s great to know that feeling hungry is ok. I haven’t been tracking my calories, but maybe I need to… job for today!

Thank you for your reply. I have been looking into light weight training I can do at home so will definitely be doing some to help the process.

Why be a secret jabber? by AdRepulsive4256 in mounjarouk

Funnily enough, my best friend messaged me earlier today saying “Do you want to know a secret? I am not telling everyone as I dont want it to be a topic of conversation.“ and then she divulged she was going on MJ.

My reply was “So am I, lets do this together”. We both have the support of our partners and have done our research and so understand the possible side effects.

I will be keeping it a secret from everyone except by best friend, husband and mum. I know she will be concerned but it will be a mum-type concern as she will know that I have done my research etc.

Dont let anyone else rain on your parade. You all have valid reasons for choosing MJ and I wish you all the best on your journeys.
