So my attempt to diarise daily my journey failed at day 2 when I completely forgot to come here and update
In my first month, I took the medicine on a Monday evenings just before bed, around 10.30 in the evening. I initially used the thigh as a target injection site and this worked well for me and reduced symptoms such as Nausea, however I did suffer quite badly from nausea and acid reflux trough the first month.
I lost approximately 1 Kg
In these posts, pages and messages, I hope to document my journey using Mounjaro to control and manage my weight and other health issues.
I plan on writing it as a daily diary, but past history suggests I am not good at remembering to do it every day, I’ll be keeping notes and updating the site as and when I can. I’ll try to do it daily but we’ll see.
Caveats
I am starting this journey at a time in my life that maybe isn’t ideal, but I’ve delayed and delayed starting and decided I just need to bite the bullet.
There is a lot going on in my life that would not be classed as “normal” and over the next few weeks I’ll also be caring for someone close to me who has had major surgery.
I am prescribed Mounjaro by my GP, I am not paying for it. This is to deal with health issues caused by having a BMI > 40 if my weight plateaus but everything else is improved and within metrics they consider normal, the help will stop at that point.
