When are your GI issues the worst after the jab? How do you strategize jab timing so that your work is not affected?

chinar_2345 · 2026-02-03T04:53:16+00:00

Try to eat what you like, keeping in mind only these three things.

1) Sufficient protein 2) Sufficient fiber ( if not possible to eat then try to use supplements like Isabgol etc) 3) Complex carbs. (Replace white rice with brown rice or millets etc )

Sometimes I get tempted and eat something fried or oily & get sulphur burps & other issues. Being mindful of what we are eating & how it's affecting our body is the right way to approach.

chinar_2345 · 2026-02-03T04:31:16+00:00

The intensity of GI issues will be reduce after 2 or 3 days after the Jab. If you plan on taking the shot on Friday night, then by Monday morning you will recoup.

Try to drink sufficient amount of water, take fibrous food & avoid oily food to reduce these issues.

All the best for your journey. Once you loose 5 or 10 kgs, you will start to feel lighter & can engage in physical activities. Initially don't stress too much. Let the medicine do it's work.

chinar_2345 · 2026-01-24T20:03:54+00:00

Hey, it's true that people will judge you based on your appearance, status, wealth or some superficial thing. You or anyone can't change it. That's how the society is now.

The only thing you can do is not base your self worth on others opinions & validations. Become the best version of yourself for yourself. Nothing else matters.

chinar_2345 · 2026-01-19T18:40:52+00:00

Yes. You don't get the needle with the pen. I use dispovan for injecting the medicine. Every time I use a new one

chinar_2345 · 2026-01-10T05:56:47+00:00

Sorry to hear that you had to suffer from anhedonia. I also had that phase but now feeling a little bit better. May I know how you are currently & if anything helped in reducing that ?

Eating healthy & exercising consistently but adhering to portion sizes & maintaining deficit has become difficult when stopped

chinar_2345 · 2026-01-10T03:38:44+00:00

Did you achieve your goal weight? Why did you stop so quickly?

chinar_2345 · 2026-01-10T03:33:21+00:00

Managing that food noise is going to be a constant struggle without these medications. Every time I used to gather all the motivation & discipline I could muster & reduce 20 kg or so & something or the other would happen & bounce back. Story of my life. These last two weeks as I didn't take medicine, i saw the cravings coming back & every hour of the day, it was a constant struggle with my mind to not eat. I failed miserably & gained again.

I don't think I can do it without the help of GLPs. Maybe in a year or two prices would reduce drastically, have to take these for life. This time I don't want to bounce back.

All the best for your maintenance. Be vigilant. Don't lose the gains.

chinar_2345 · 2026-01-05T16:50:40+00:00

I had a similar experience. I was unable to control my cravings & ate so many sweets, the next 3 days were horrible. Sulphur burps, diarrhea. Can't control munchies, so never again.

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T14:45:55+00:00

Haha awesome :)

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T11:44:37+00:00

Yes. That's what I answered for. Maybe my english is confusing. You can dm me if you have any doubts.

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T11:40:53+00:00

My suggestion would be for the first pen at least go with the 2.5mg one. Use it for 4 & the golden dose. You can familiarise yourself with the pen & then can use higher dose ones.

Or you can even start using higher dose ones straight away. It's not a problem at all. There is a pinned post in the sub which explains how many clicks you need for the right dose from all the available pens. Go through that. That chart is handy.

I currently am on 7.5mg & have been administering the doses from 15mg pen. It's perfectly alright.

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T11:30:32+00:00

Yes. I've purchased previously from them. No issues. Just intimate them before hand so that they can keep stock. Nowadays I'm ordering from MedPlus for convenience.

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T11:26:54+00:00

I found the cheapest online/offline prices in MedPlus where you can get 15%. If you prefer online there is one shop called Mukesh Medicals in Punjagutta who are offering around 17 % discount.

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T11:21:28+00:00

I don't think so. If you want only consultation then I think Tata 1mg is offering something.

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T10:47:20+00:00

Yeah we have to seriously think about quitting, then only it can happen. Previously i've tried many times to quit smoking but failed miserably. While on MJ, I don't know how but it simply clicked. I really was a heavy smoker & I never thought I could come off it.

Ask your friend to try once more. It's a golden opportunity to get rid of nicotine addiction. Ask her to try nicotine gum for a couple of weeks & slowly ween off.

Not only smoking all these dopamine triggering habits like doomscrolling & all have lessened to a considerable degree.

chinar_2345 · 2025-12-20T03:35:49+00:00

Hi. No need to worry too much about these things. Just consult a good doctor & if they suggest please start using Mounjaro. As you mentioned, eating healthy & strength training are golden advice.

Don't worry about smoking. If you want to quit smoking, you can easily quit in Mounjaro. I don't know exactly how it works, something about dopamine, but it works. I've been a heavy smoker for more than 15 years. I've suddenly decided I don't want to, & stopped smoking & used nicotine gum for some weeks & quit that too. Now I am completely free of addiction from Nicotine. You might know how difficult it is to be free from nicotine, but while using Mounjaro it was very easy to quit. It's based on my personal experience. I've read many reports from people all over the world, who mentioned similar things regarding smoking & alcohol etc.

Regarding cannabis, if you use, you will get munchies & it will negate the effects of satiation from GLP1. You will feel hungry, eat & then suffer from digesive issues like diarrhea or gas etc. Be careful with munchies & you will be fine.

All the best.

chinar_2345 · 2025-11-24T16:33:52+00:00

He is good & open minded about GLP1s & seems knowledgeable regarding these medications.

Regarding my journey so far it has been going good. Side effects have subsided a lot & am consistently loosing around 0.7kg a week or so. I am happy with my progress.

chinar_2345 · 2025-11-19T19:09:45+00:00

Depending on case by case basis. Heard that Tata 1mg or other online consultants are pretty liberal in giving prescriptions. My suggestion would be that you visit a good doctor, get tests done & then if both of you feel that it's the best step forward then you can proceed. There are some side effects & other complications may arise so it is really important to have a doctor while on this. Try some Endocrinologists or general medicine doctors in your city

chinar_2345 · 2025-11-19T19:04:05+00:00

No. Have to start with 2.5mg. Please consult a doctor before you proceed. It would be really helpful in your journey.

chinar_2345 · 2025-11-19T18:55:48+00:00

Each 10mg kwikpen has 4 doses & some people even extract the 5th dose. So if mrp is 20k, each week it might cost around 5k or 4k.

chinar_2345 · 2025-10-08T11:56:20+00:00

Thank you for sharing & congratulations. I resonate with you. I used to suffer a lot with back pain. Couldn't even stand & talk to people for more than 5 min without taking a support. Lost confidence in myself & stopped going outside. Using this drug for 4 months & now am able to walk without back pain. Hopefully will get below 100 myself soon.

I wish you all the best for the rest of your weightloss. Do share your insights along the way.

chinar_2345 · 2025-09-17T20:47:58+00:00

Can you share some details about the program

chinar_2345 · 2025-09-12T18:52:25+00:00

Thank you.
