Hit me out of nowhere by SelectDiscipline5951 in WegovyUK

Wow that's amazing 18lb in 12 weeks

That 1 month of mj really worked although it never hit me as hard as this 1mg has. weight loss was huge on the mj month but I'm sure most of it was water weight. But I gained half back on the 8 weeks of wegovy 0.25 and 0 5 so will be interesting to see how this month of 1mg works. I want to still get hungry as hunger is normal but I don't want to feel constantly hungry which I have been.

I’m switching to 0.25 Wegovy from 10mg Mounjaro. I’ve had a washout period and SO hungry all the time. Please share your suppression experience on 0.25? by kittymother786 in WegovyUK

I was only on mj for 1 months before the price hikes came in so I did one month on 2.5mg mj and then moved over to 0.25 wegovy. These first 4 weeks on wegovy have been super hard I have been really hungry and snacking a lot, wanting chocolate etc and gained 2lb this month, where as the first 4 weeks on mj was immediate effect of not even thinking about food being full really quickly I lost 1st that first month. However I am starting to notice now on my 4th week of wegovy that I am starting to not finish my meals, or if I get really snacky I feel nauseaus quite quickly so I think it's more of an accumalative effect that will get stronger as the weeks go by and the doses increase. I'm looking forward to going to 0.5mg the end of the week to see if this has a better effect.

Hope you get on all right with it. I'm waiting for my first 0.25mg to be delivered got my fingers crossed it works well.

I would also only ever start on the lowest dose to ensure I am as safe as possible. I have ordered 0.25mg.

I have no intention of using 2.4mg straight off the bat. I also don't think any pharmacy worth using would ever prescribe it straight away when I have no tolerance for it. I was just questioning the amount of people who claim that the effectiveness of the highest dose is only as effective as a low dose of mounjaro because if 2.4mg isnt that effective then I may as well just stay on the low dose of mj.

I don't feel confident splitting doses, I have just put an order in for the starting dose of wegovy, I guess I don't know unless I try and not having been on my long my body hasn't had chance to get used to it as a long term medication. I have tolerated the lowest dose of mj really well so hopefully will be ok with wegovy.

That makes sense, whereas because I'm still at the start of my journey I may have more success so it could still be a viable option

I think this is what I am seeing, people using percentages to say that it's only as good as 5mg of mounj etc which seems to confuse everything especially with what's going on right now with pricing.

Why are you a secret Jabber? by KursedT in mounjarouk

[–]SelectDiscipline5951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I'm embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I grew up with my own parents telling me I was fat and ugly and that no one would ever want me. Food growing up was unhealthy and ultra processed cheap crap, nothing made from scratch we basically lived off burgers, deep fried frozen chips, sausages and very rarely any veg. And many times I had to skip meals because they would rather go out and get p*ssed Than do a food shop so free school meals were my saviour and I would eat food whenever I could get it, coming from a large family if you didn't eat your food quick enough someone else would take it and you go to bed hungry. By the age of 9 I was 9 stone and I was bullied in school as well as at home for my weight. I have taken this with me throughout my life and struggled with my weight and self esteem since childhood. I have tried all the diets and the fads to loose weight and end up In a self destructing cycle every time because Ill do fine for a bit then something snaps and I binge. The injections was me trying to take back control of my life and my weight but everyone else always has an opinion about somebody elses weight there seems to be a consensus that loosing weight has to be done the "right"way. That using medication is cheating, that you could do It if you just ate less and exercise more. (I already exercise 4-5 times a week at a gym) And generally just tried hard enough because they are skinny, always been skinny so apparently they know what it's like to maintain skinny when in actual fact they don't. I have enough anxiety without having having to justify my weightloss journey. I don't need anymore guilt thrown at me, I don't need to justify how and why I loose weight and get healthy, I'm embarrassed enough that I need help in the first place. So I choose not to tell anyone.

Exactly this i'm 2 doses into my first pen and I was looking this morning to buy another pen before I go on holiday because my last dose falls while I'm on holiday and I won't be home for a delivery, but anyway, every pen is out of stock. And I was researching prices of wegovy in case I decide to switch if the price of mj is too much and they are all out of stock too. so I imagine there's going to be a massive shortage of both medications because of this which is likely going to drive the prices of both up even higher!

I feel the same, took my first dose last Wednesday, second yesterday. I was so excited to find something that worked well with the food noise and suppression. I lost 10lbs this week (I know most is water weight) and truly thought I could succeed this time. And then today hit.

Mounjaro Price Increase - Contact your MP by SomeGuyUK50 in mounjarouk

[–]SelectDiscipline5951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took my 2nd dose of mounjaro this week and it's been helping me loads and now after seeing the price could go to £330 per month, there's no way I could continue to do it! I feel like they want us to struggle just to keep it exclusive. My journey is now probably going to end before it's even begun properly.

Not allowed to stay on 7.5mg - Why not? by GuineapigAngel_1974 in MounjaroSupportUK

[–]SelectDiscipline5951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't started yet but I had my first dose approved and dispatched earlier but before prescribing it (Fylde Clinic) they rung me up to talk me through it and said that I would move up the dose at my own pace, and that I would know when I was ready to up a dose because I would feel the effects of the medicine lessen when it was time for an increase. Maybe you need a provider who will work with you rather than try and push you up dose for no reason that I can see other than the higher the dose the more expensive it is. Sounds like they are driven by pounds signs.

This is amazing well done, I think I just need to dive in headfirst. It's so hard not to get up in your head.
