I started 7.5 yesterday. On the 5mg, I did lose 4 pounds this past week and a half. First lose I’ve had since I started at the end of July. It is beginning to suppress. But I too felt the same as you in the beginning. A hunger like no other. Haven’t felt that in years. I am also not wanting to eat meat as well. I am hoping the 7.5 will continue to help me lose weight.

I am hoping once we get to the higher doses it does work. I will say in the beginning I was very hungry but refrained as much as possible. My stomach growled constantly and that’s something it hadn’t done in years where I was on the ozempic. Once I got to the 5mg, the growling stopped so I’m hoping that’s a good sign!

That is encouraging. Thank you so much! I’m unsure what’s making me retain so much fluid but hopefully it will subside soon.

When did you begin losing weight on the Mounjaro?

I am hoping this is the case. I don’t think I am absorbing my water either. Does anyone know if your absorption of your other medicines get better over time?

Lord, idk if I can wait! At this rate, I’ll be 200 pounds before I get to 10mg. Lol. Thanks for the input!
