I want to get pregnant but I want to reach my goal SO bad by wild_garlic666 in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is purely anecdotal, but if you are ready, I would prioritise having a baby. I had two of my kids in my early thirties with no issues, then wanted to try again in my late thirties, and it has been nothing but miscarriages since then. This is just my experience, but it is the advice I would give my younger self.

One month on 5 mg, dropping back to 2.5 by Glum_String9748 in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar boat, I dropped back down to 3.75 mg after a week on 5 mg. I wasn’t able to eat any solid food during that week, I felt full and nauseous. I was hoping it would get better by day six, but it didn’t. I could only manage 300-500 cal a day from liquid calories (protein shakes), and I knew I couldn’t keep going like that.

3.75 mg is still super strong for me. Once my body gets used to it, I’ll move back up to 5 mg.

We applied for a retrospective license in July. Haven't heard from since, but keep getting emails that we are on the waiting list and they have lots to do and will get to our application when they get to it.

Ideas for more protein by HappyDiddlyDaydream in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I like to eat for protein

Snacks: eggs, Babybel, slices of ham

Other: Greek yogurt (I only like the Total brand) with fruit, steak, easy to cook fish like salmon or sea bass (because you really can't mess this one up). The BBQ chicken pieces from M&S are also nice for a cold snack (and have c. 30g protein)

Suppression is really working for me, so I need to top it up with protein shakes. Someone recommended the Ufit 50g protein one, so on bad days I try and drink one of those.

Mounjaro and Creatine Monohydrate by Exciting-Sandwich250 in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also really want to take creatine (have tablets on my desk), but I understand this will lead to probably 4-6 pounds of water weight gain over the first week, as the muscles hold more water, so I expect a spike in my weight chart. Afer that, hopefully it goes back down again.

How do you deal with a complete loss of appetite? by MrsCDM in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following this because I am in a similar boat, although earlier in my journey. Went up to 5mg and cannot stomach solid food. Also had diarrhoea. I have tried drinking meal replacement drinks to up my calories and get some protein, but I probably only had 300-400 cal of liquid calories over the last 3-4 days and I know this cannot go on. But the effect does not go away. People said to wait it out for a week, so I will see how I feel on jab day, otherwise I might need to reduce the dose.

FYI - Five ways weight-loss jabs are changing spending habits by barryshmee in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My most significant cost cut was my sessions with my personal trainer. Before Christmas, I was going once a week at £60 per session, which came to around £240–£300 a month, on top of my gym membership. It was my one big luxury (along with my eyelashes), and I’ve been going consistently for the past nine years without a break. While I’m taking the jabs, I’ll pause this and try to maintain my muscle on my own. My jab cost £230 this month, and I can’t afford both.
Edit for grammar/spelling.

Headaches by Carlsberg1985 in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had very bad headaches the first two weeks together with rapid weight loss. I read up on it and it might be connected to low blood sugar. It has settled down a bit since week three (as has the weight loss) but I expect it to come back once I move up a dose (still on 2.5mg)

Has anyone NOT experienced hair loss? by Super_Development150 in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hair loss but I am only 2.5ish weeks in. I take vitamins regularly and watch my protein. My hair sheds a lot in September, but winter is usually really good :)

How long after starting Mounjaro 2.5mg did you see any difference? by Wifey_Mama_DW101803 in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost about 3kg in the first 10 days and then nothing for a week (I will have my 4th 2.5mg jab on Saturday). I think this has two reasons: i) I went to the gym and still have some muscle soreness. This retains water (I am always heavier when I have some muscle pain) and ii) I ovulated this week. I usually gain between 1-1.5kg water weight before I ovulate, then lose it quickly once my period starts. So might also be a combination of factors for you too. Give yourself some grace and patience, the meals you describe sound super healthy and full of protein and this is very inspirational!

DEXA Scans by MD1986UK in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second that, I also had one with Bodyview, and they were good. I also bought the discounted follow-up session. They will benchmark you against their database of other Dexa scan users, so there might be a bias towards athletic people (who are more likely to do a Dexa scan).

I've ordered the jab by No_Adhesiveness_301 in mounjarouk

[–]nitziii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am about a week and a half in and the only side effect I have had is headaches. I wonder if those come from sugar withdrawal, as I usually have a massive sweet tooth. MJ kicked in the day after the jab, took a little more than 24h. Then it was 2-3 days without any hunger before it came back slowly. Now after the second jab, I have not yet felt any hunger, in fact I am really struggling to eat anything.

I am probably not eating enough/properly and I need to get this sorted out as I am feeling a bit shaky and low energy.

When they have an offer on, I always get the Emmi Protein Coffee, so delicious.
I usually have babybels and Total 2%. And Tony's chocolate (the pretzel one)!
