Saxenda, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro advice and support #9

[unidentified]

God I’m exhausted today. What a rubbish nights sleep. Woke about 3:30/4 feeling so sick! I don’t know how I didn’t vomit everywhere. Horrible! It eventually passed but I definitely feel that heaviness in my stomach and as if there’s that lump in my throat. My mouth is so dry too.

Anyone ever had a faulty pen in all their experience? I tested my new pen for the first dose as usual and it squirted out instead of just a drop, twice. I put a new needle on and tried again, and a drop appeared so I went ahead and when I injected the pen made more of a crackling noise when it wound down - I don't think the dose went in properly and the skin was cold to touch.

What’s the reason?

 

[neverbeeninfluenced]

Yes I've done that or clicked back down a doses. Sometimes the hunger comes back hard and its something I'm careful about.

Start asap. You could be down a stone. One the road to a healthier version of you. Skip a dose on holiday or titrate down. Ive been on hols in active loosing time. I found I controlled food/drink during the day and had my nice food at night. Mean't the break didnt disrupt long term goals. Pre oz I'd easily be up 7lbs in a week away.

On the supplment; I take Biotin 5000 as my hair really suffered. Collagen is also a good combater of Ozempic face,

Thank you for your advice, much appreciated!

Sorry I dipped out of this thread. Is Rybelsus still a thing? Or any other tablet equivalent

 

[barrrlohflaughs]

Yes!! My tummy weirdly is covered in bruises that I don’t even remember doing.

I use the Renpho scales and app and feel like it’s really good at showing progress?

Yeah I like the app with the graph and everything, but I want something to tell me how much I’ve lost in total…unless it does do that and I can’t see that in the app

Great thanks I might try it early on then rather than wait until tonight. Did you notice any difference with your weight first couple of weeks?

I’ve been doing it in my tummy. It’s really easy, you don’t feel it. I took it before bed the first week as I was worried about side effects but took it earlier in the day (lunch time ish) the second week and haven’t noticed any difference.

Morning lovely lot,

just did my second shot of MJ and noticed this. I only got it last Saturday, should I contact MedExpress? Is this out of date??

 

[Userom]

Poor thing. Sounds like it could be a bug though?

Yes I’ve started to feel normal today and have eaten pretty normally. So hopefully over it now

Haven’t taken my dose though as a bit nervous. Might do tomorrow if I’m 100%.

How long is your holiday? I’m on week 2 and I have a festival to go to on what would be week 4 - I am experiencing severe a few days after I inject so I plan to hold off on week 4 until the day after festival which would be 5 days later than my usual day. I know it’s probably not the right thing to do (I think I read you can miss up to 4 days on the leaflet) but I absolutely cannot go to that and risk needing the toilet. ( I haven’t eaten processed food at all and haven’t touched a drop of alcohol on this journey so far)
Everyone reacts different but I will say having it has made life much more enjoyable, I feel happier and have more room in my head for other things now I’m not thinking about food 24/7.

It’s 2 weeks!
Festival toilets are not good at the best of times but with that would be hellish! Although maybe explains the state of some of them

I thought about delaying it as I’ve had things on but yesterday decided to just go for it. There’s always going to be something

Exactly this. I just wish I’d started weeks ago when I first decided i was going to.

What is the best time in the day to take the injection - morning or evening ? Thanks

 

[Amym2020]

Hi, my Mounjaro has arrived. Where would you recommend is the best place to inject? And are you best taking it before bed?

Anyone got any tips for the awful conspation? That and headache is my only side effect, the headache I can keep at bay if I am constantly drinking water for the most part.

constipation on the other hand- I have senokot max strength 3 days in a row and barely anything! Worried I need something stronger or some lactulose or something similar

 

[Jennyfromtheblog]

My MJ arrived today, are people keeping it in the fridge or at room temp once started?

I keep mine in the fridge. And you will be fine with the needle, it’s tiny and you don’t feel it. I had to double check it was actually in my skin!
Good luck on the start of your journey

 

[Amym2020]

Thanks!

Whats the most you can take? did it make any difference taking 0.7ml?

60 on that is 0.6ml so the same as a normal dose. I took out everything I could which was 0.7ml as you lose some priming it

What is your BMI?

It's 32.6

 

[PinkandTwinkly]

Hey all! I’m on 0.25 weygovi and so far (second week on it) I haven’t really felt very much change at all, but that’s expected I think at this early stage. However, I did want to do Mounjaro but I read from ZAVA which is where I buy it that if you take oral contraceptive it’s recommended not to as it affects the pill from working properly. Is everyone that’s taking MJ not on the pill?

Its not just MJ, Wegovy is the same, both suggest using another form of contraception, as either jab could make your oral contraceptives less effective

Has anyone managed to stay on the same dose on Wegovy. I don’t want to push myself onto a higher dose if it’s giving the desire effect.
