Personal Health: Mounjaro Week 4

After forgetting to write anything last week, here’s my update for the end of week 4.

Still not really feeling any side effects – maybe the occasional bout of diarrhoea (TMI) – much less bloating now, that seemed to be a week 2 phenomenon. In fact, during week 3 I was feeling almost high about how well it was going… then I had a lovely boozy Saturday and essentially undid a weeks worth of loss, and then another week to fix.

The last 4 days I’ve actually gone up, so I think I need to refocus a bit and slim down the portion sizes. That said, overall I’m now down ~1stone since starting, or ~6.5kg.

If I wasn’t weighing in daily, I’d be celebrating that – but I’m feeling a bit frustrated. I decided mid-last week to stick to the 2.5mg dose for the next round, but I’m now thinking I should probably have gone up. I’ll bare that in mind when I need to choose next time.

Nearly missed getting this dose. I did leave the renewal until the week before as I was deciding whether to increase, and the lead time from ASDA said 4-6 days. Thankfully it came through quicker than that, but something to be aware of.
