I’m so sorry to hear about your patient. Such sad news. I get what you are saying l. On the whole it’s helped that I am calmer. As a mum with ASD anxious kids, the calmer I can keep the better to support them. just feel a little numb. So sorry again for your loss.

I feel totally the same (also a mum to two ASD kids). Normally I’m very emotional/stressed/anxious and must cry at least a couple times a week (in private) but since MJ there’s been none of that, even when I’ve felt like crying - this week was a death anniversary of a much loved family member and still nothing. It’s very strange.
It feels helpful to know I am not alone in this. Thank you for replying
. I am incredibly grateful for the calm it’s brought me. Constantly fire fighting and it’s helped immensely, but I am aware I’m also a little numb. But overall clearly a positive thing.

This is my second day and all I've managed today is a Lidl probiotic drink and a couple of spoons of overnight oats - I had to force them down.
I've got soup and roast chicken on a wholemeal thin for my dinner - I doubt I'll be able to eat. Is it okay to have days where you eat very little or should you try and eat anyway? The problem is that I feel like I've eaten two roast dinners and can't fit anything else in...

It doesn’t have much impact on me. However, I kind of wish it did!!!

Just eat what you can in the meanwhile. The suppression usually tapers off towards the end of the week in my experience and I do more eating then if I’m not able to stomach much in the days after injecting. It’s just your body taking its time to get used to the medication in its system. I really struggled in the early weeks but now I’m eating plenty for me and still losing 1-2lbs average a week. As long as what you are managing to eat is balanced and you aren’t too low on calories for days on end you’ll be fine. And again, drinking enough.

I can’t give any advice here as I never was really big into alcohol even before starting, but lots of accounts on here and Reddit say it has made them cut down on their intake.

It has an almost anti-depressant effect I feel. I do feel much better since taking it but I think the weight loss and seeing results has had a big hand in that too. A big part of my anxiety deep down was about my weight and the effect it was starting to have on my health. It’s nice to be free of that. Glad it has helped you too on that side of thingsIt feels helpful to know I am not alone in this. Thank you for replying

Thank you. I'm drinking plenty, it's just eating that's difficult. I literally couldn't be tempted by anything - it's a very strange feeling. x

It has made me completely uninterested in drinking at home but I can still enjoy drinking socially. I definitely don't drink as much when out but I see it as another cost saving.

I felt the same. I was like a bottomless pit before so it amazed me how little notice I took of food once it was in my system. It has gotten easier and it’s normal to feel hungry when it does start to taper off before your next injection. I still manage to enjoy food at the weekend (I inject on Monday nights) and have had a few meals out with minimal side effects.

Sadly no, it hasn't affected that at all. I could really do with it though.

I did a month of Wegovy at the start of my weight loss "journey" and that completely killed my appetite for alcohol. This was an unexpected but pleasing side effect as I'd developed a bit of a problem during lockdown. Mounjaro isn't having the same effect to be honest, but I can now happily have a glass of wine in the evening without finishing the bottle! I think some people on here have commented that they don't want a drink at all on MJ, so your mileage may vary!

2 weeks in and went for a Toby Carvery tonight. Did my usual of getting a bit of everything- I managed about 1/3 of the portion! Side effects - I’m struggling with constipation and piles… if that’s the worst side effect I can put up with it for the losses!

Similar side effects as me
I know they are all over tik tok being promoted and I’m always cautions of stuff influences promote!!! but I bought the fibre gummies from Amazon, I take 3 each morning and it’s really helping, I’ve had no issues since starting them.

Did anyone get zero side effects and suppression the first few days after starting?

My second jab is on thurs! I'm starting to feel the food noise slowly creeping back in, I feel strong enough to not surrender to any urges though! Does suppression usually slowly start lifting by the end of the week?

Week 1 & 2 the suppression wasn’t as strong the last two days. I have just finished week 3 and my suppression was through the roof for the 7 days. It’s so strange how it works.
Also I don’t know if I am imagining it but the week I injected into my left thigh and not my right my suppression wasn’t as strong and I had a real lack of energy. It could just be coincidence tho.
Does anyone continue to inject into the same side? I know you are supposed to alternate.

I'm planning on alternating around my tummy
yes, mine has completely. I’m usually quite a big drinker and this weekend gone is the first in ageeeees that I haven’t been bothered about a drink at all!
I’m on my 5th week on 2.5 so due to re-order ready for next week.
