Weigh Loss Jabs

Hi!

Is anyone on these at all? If so how are you getting on? And any side effects? And how do you cope with said side effects.

I classed myself as obese - not sure I was clinically but at 5ft 10 and 16st 10 coming up to 40 I had a slight midlife epiphany.

So - after seeing the news and knowing various people on weight loss jabs - I signed up and ended up going with Mounjaro

Now - I am four months in to my treatment and have lost circa 2.5st. It’s now at the stage where people are visibly shocked when they see me after a while.

But the higher doses I get the worse the side effects are. Stating the obvious really.

I’m now on a 10mg dose. Awful sulphur burps and terrible cramp / diarrhoea for two days after the jab. Taking ginger supplement has settled this someone.

But, is there anyone else who gets this and what have you done to calm the effects?
Or is anyone thinking of starting these?
 
Best mates wife has had similar results...good loss, didn't mention the side effects...but we were out to lunch!
Well done mate, keep it off.
I'm always a stone overweight in summer, two in winter, due to gardening and a sweet tooth.

Well that’s another side affect - a logical one

Diet has changed. Can’t eat. At all really. Obviously I do. Very small meals, no sweets, chocolate ice cream

Biggest upset. Beer. A few pints and you feel shit. 💩

Would love to know other recommendations for alcohol as right now I’m on white wine only
 
Now that decriminalisation has virtually occurred in the privacy of your own home, have you considered buggering up your lungs instead of your liver and using cannabis?
Also helps with nausea.

The lungs are screwed anyway with the cigarettes.

To be honest cannabis and me don’t get on. Younger me dabbled to bad effect.

I need to get into yoghurt…..apparently

I’m weighing it up at the moment. I have a health check through work’s medical plan next month, and there’s the potential it could be prescribed then.

Do you have an end goal in mind?

And congrats. 2.5st off in 4 months is great going!
