I’m on week 3 day 5 of MJ 2.5. Until yesterday the only side effects were some reflux and sulphur burps. But since yesterday, omg the diarrhoea 🫣
it’s been constant. I am taking Imodium as otherwise I don’t think I’d have been able to leave the house. I’ve just received the 5ml pen today too but wish I’d waited a couple more days before ordering to see if the diarrhoea eases off. I dread to think what it will be like on the higher dose.

I hope it eases off soon for you! The diarrhoea is awful isn’t it, I had the embarrassing moment of being out on a walk with a friend from work. Luckily there was a pub nearby otherwise I would have shat my pants. Thank the Lord she didn’t need to use the loo either - double the embarrassmentI’m on week 3 day 5 of MJ 2.5.

Does anyone else get ridiculously itchy?
Injected my second 1mg wegovy dose at 7pm tonight. By 9pm I've wanted to claw my legs off. Absolutely unbearable itching which I've just taken a prescription antihistamine for. I also feel a bit agitated but I'm generally quite anxious and feeling weird isn't helping.
My breathing is fine, lips and tongue feel fine. So I don't think I'm having a worrying reaction. On week eleven and it's never happened before so just curious if this is common. Thanks everyone

Im slightly itchier, like in the shower I’ll find my back needs more of a scrub it used to as it feels a bit itchy but nothing too majorDoes anyone else get ridiculously itchy?

But I’m only on 0.5 at the mo! I’ll let you know next week when I go to 1 if it gets worse
I've been having a lot of nausea recently but over the last week I've tried something new. I'd bought my daughter some travel sickness patches for an upcoming school trip, and decided to try one out randomly. It's really helped! Got mine off Amazon the MQ motion sickness patches. Hope this helps someone.
I had my first bacon sandwich in 7.5 weeks! My nephew stayed over last night and he loves a bacon sarnie on a Saturday morning. I normally have eggs with salmon or chicken low cal sausages. This week I thought nah sod, have the bacon bagel (not even a bagel thin either) and I really really REALLY enjoyed it. The best part is I feel satisfied after ONE!! Before MJ, I’d go back for a second and sometimes a third, demolishing the entire pack.
And another little win, I keep catching glimpses of myself in the mirror, my head feels like it has shrunk. I took a selfie and compared it to my photos in SA (two months ago) and can see a huge difference. My face is a lot slimmer, my jaw line is on the way back. Bye bye double chin!!!

I’ve seen quite a few posts saying wegovy can effect your energy levels and when some people moved to munjaro they noticed a very big difference with the energy levels increasing.
The last 2 weeks I have been extremely fatigued and I just want to sleep all the time. I struggle to sleep at nighttime so by time I do eventually go to sleep I wake up absolutely exhausted. It’s an awful pattern! I’ve been on wegovy since the start of the year and I’ve been on 1mg for 5 weeks so far. I’m considering switching to Munjaro to be honest as I don’t want to waste my life napping during the day
4 days in I haven't lost any weight but it's bliss not feeling hungry or having food noise.
We went out for breakfast this morning and usually I would order the full breakfast and maybe add on some hash browns. This morning I ordered the children's breakfast (one sausage, small amount of beans & scrambled egg and slice of toast) as I knew I wouldn't be able to eat the normal size one - and even then I left half the slice of toast!
It's very odd getting your head round not ordering your normal amounts of food etc!
(Just for background - I'm on Mounjaro and have completed 4 jabs of 2.5 and 2 of 5.0 and lost around 18lbs (tbc on Monday morning when I officialy weigh in!))

I agree , it’s difficult to eye ball what you can actually eat if you are a plate clearer like myself lol! It’s took a good few months for me to do it but I do sometimes load my plate up and like ahh can’t eat half this
It's weird isn't it? Like you, I've always been a plate clearer as well - it's quite a revelation to leave things and think 'this is what normal people do!'I agree , it’s difficult to eye ball what you can actually eat if you are a plate clearer like myself lol!

I have had the same experience, and to be honest I still feel a bit of guilt leaving food on my plate! But it's either that or make myself ill from over-eating. I think the medication has really helped me recalibrate my brain and understanding of moderation, portions, when I feel full, what hunger cues are etc.
Every time I eat out I feel so bad leaving food on my plate 
My husband always looks at me like I'm mad but I can't physically eat any more. He'll say you've barely eaten...yes I know that thanks
there's been times it's tasted unreal and I want to eat the lot but I just physically can't eat another bite. That said I usually take a doggy bag and it lasts me another meal

I placed my first order with Pharmacy Planet on Wednesday and still waiting for it to be approved… now I’ve made the decision I just want to start.
saxenda stopped working for me. I took a break, gained a bit but not much and then went on ozempic and was best thing ever for me. Was also nice not injecting daily
Think I need to move up to 5 mg. I decided to stay on 2.5mg for another month but the food noise and appetite are back with a vengeance after my 6th jab!
Had you any loss with it? If you don't mind me asking how did you realise it stopped working and how long did it take to realise it? Thanks.
Week 4 of MJ and finally for the first time since starting felt full significantly earlier in the meal than I expected (like I used to on Wegovy). Fingers crossed this is the start of it working for me because my weight still hasn’t shifted since jan.
