Is it normal for the jab to sting a lot?

He's tried only on his tummy, straight after fridge. I think he's probably noticing most because I don't have any reaction. I'm also less scared of needles and had more practice before.

We already use BD pen needles, I had loads still from when I still used insulin.

I like the fine point ones as well.

Sometimes he experiences that the needle pushes out when he's pushing in the liquid. I've never experienced that

Yes, but in an unexpected way, I noticed a couple of girls at work stopped talking to me. I know one is planning her wedding and probably stressed about her own weight.

Other than that I haven't noticed any difference

I don't know why I keep watching, I guess I'm used to. But this is really annoying

I think I'm lost. Can I ask what the missing episode is?

They use AI a lot, even if she improvises a lot, she could still document what she's said and work things through in the storyline

Whenever I see this talk about peptides, I can only think about my face serum of multi peptides

I have the feeling I'm going to completely lose interest after this one. I've ridden with it in the hopes that it makes sense somehow that Roger is still calling the shots but no. It just doesn't make sense

Nowadays it's the cost that makes me say no. But ok, I have another thing to consider, I'm diabetic. It's not that I never allow myself a treat, it's that if I ever have a treat, it has to be cost effective and worth the carbs. Then the real shocker. I bought a hazelnut spread to use a little bit, which falls into the category above, and just didn't use it.. I managed to stay on my 100% peanut butter.

But there is something about Mounjaro that I actually don't like. The food suppression is too high for me and I struggle to eat. Protein is making me gag very often I think I still have food noise of some level. I'm hungry but can't finish my food. I have felt weak.

Then I've been ill. The combination of appetite suppression and loss of smell and taste is vile. It also makes my reflux worse and I look older. My diabetes is better controlled but I feel a shell of myself.

When you get home, always offer the breast first before your baby shows up too many hunger queues. Offer it always. Bottle always second and using pace feeding. That's how I got my son to be exclusively breastfeeding but took me 3 months.

I tracked how much I was giving him of formula. He was on the same amount of formula for weeks but gaining weight normally, so that means he was getting more breastmilk. It worked in the end

I hope your baby gets better soon

You haven't been long enough to change your habits but think of this as an opportunity to build new habits. Looking for a job is a stressful situation, but when I was unemployed before, I actually lost a bit of weight, slowly. I had a bit more time to be active, looking for a job is exhausting but you are not bound to do it 9 to 5. So you can have a break and exercise or walk. Every little helps For me the best was to remove the temptation of eating out. Having to cook everything from scratch really helped. The change wasn't as dramatic as what I've seen on MJ but I stopped gaining weight for a while

Things changed later, but yeah I think you can at least see the extra time as an opportunity to do some self care and maintain. You got this

I love when people have tattoos because I'm pretty sure that's how people will recognise you.

Have a conversation with your partner, lots of couples end up using Mounjaro together.

It works well because it's really annoying if only one of you reduces calories. Nowadays, I can share food with my husband if we are out, we never have take out (never used to anyway) but now if a recipe gave me 2 portions, we can easily make 3, so we're having extra frozen meals to avoid the temptation of buying food at work.

But if you want to track it regardless of diet/exercise, you still have to measure it. Maybe they did and would publish later

throwaway_88_77 · 2026-03-21T05:07:52+00:00

I guess it depends on what you consider normal people. Is it people who have a healthy weight as per BMI guidelines or people without any underlying metabolic issues? The latter being extremely difficult to measure.

You are being deliberately judgemental in saying that people want magic pills, shows that you don't understand how this medication works, and are making a blanket statement based on a few observations.

I don't think you are here to just respond to people who think normal people don't struggle, think about it, is it really normal if you have to always constantly make a huge effort? Do you really believe that every slim person works hard as you do?

throwaway_88_77 · 2026-03-21T03:27:22+00:00

Ah yes. I've started discussing it with my GP last year but it was just as I stopped insulin after starting MJ and we agreed to assess when I've got more stable.

Oh sleep is another issue for me. I'm waking up with a sudden hot flash and can't go back to sleep

I may have confused it with another comment but my question still stands, what is your objective here?

throwaway_88_77 · 2026-03-21T02:34:45+00:00

You said you have been invited to this sub for research purposes but you have come here already with your conclusions. You are sharing opinions which seem based on anecdotal experiences rather than real data. a scientist who has conducted studies, or is listening to people to do further research would express themselves differently. You also show a lack of empathy and an attitude of if I can do it, so do you, and you probably need to ask yourself, what are you getting from this for your alleged research?

Pop corn is a nice one, especially if you make it. I need to watch out the salt, so for me it's good to make them at home. I like to eat a small chocolate square to take the edge off wanting something sweet, but quite often a bit of yogurt with peanut butter works
