Hello.

Just given myself my first Mounjaro jab!

A few nerves leading up to doing it, but it really wasn’t bad - a sharp scratch at most.

Now we wait… fingers crossed that the Mounjaro gods will smile on me and I won’t be up all night with side effects.

Weight is going the right way again. 23lbs down as of this morning.

A side note - I just want to thank everyone who takes the time to reply to my ramblings. I don’t always have time to reply to everyone individually, but I do read it all and really appreciate the support. This forum has kind of become a blog for me to document my experiences, progress etc. The fact that anyone would take the time to read it, let alone reply, is humbling indeed. Thank you.
 
Well done @Katetype2

You’ve shown yourself that you can do it. Hopefully they’ll quickly become routine.

Great news on the weight loss too!

And thanks for being part of the forum, and sharing your journey with us 🙂

Hi @Katetype2 hope you get on well with Mounjaro
 
Both intrigued and terrified by Mounjaro so interested to see how you get on with it.

Best of luck! :care:
 
I had my first Mounjaro jab Saturday, no side effects so far but have already reduced my fast and slow acting Insulins by about 40%! And probably will need to continue reductions, lucky to have Libre in the mix to monitor BG levels,

Good luck Katetype2

Well done @Katetype2 - keep us posted. Rooting for you! :party::star::care:
 
Good results Katetype2.

Keep up the good work
 
Well done on the first injection. I still remember using way too much force behind my first injection, and surprised who easily it went in.

Well done on weight loss. I look forward to hearing how things go. Keep us posted.
 
Hope it works well for you, I have been on it since October, weight loss has been steady if slower than I had hoped, but my appetite has certainly shrunk, and my fasting bag are a lot better.

great to see you have seen a steady weight loss since starting Mounjaro back in October @Grannylorraine I often wonder how other regulars on the forum are getting on with MJ
