"You may get some gastro intestinal issues. If they are bearable stick with it they won't last long. I'm on ozempic and have dropped 20 kg easier than I have ever before. But it is something most people have to be on for life to keep the weight off. I'm diabetic so will be on it for life anyway to control my diabetes. But it's amazing. It stops the food noise and keeps you fuller for longer. We don't know what the long term effects are but diabetes and obesity are so harmful to our health that most people think it will be mitigated. Oprah is looking incredible on it." That’s amazing well done you Mrs | |||

Drinking 6 litres of water a day keeps you full, and its free, and healthy. Most people on these death jabs weren't drinking anywhere near 7 litres of water a day.. Im on my 6th litre of water today and just about to have my 1st meal of the day.. Mind blowing lol | |||

"I know a few people on it and they’ve all had great results.

One got headaches but electrolytes seemed to fix that problem.

A prime example is my niece who is in the process of getting them prescribed yet she has done absolutely nothing to attempt to shift the weight herself, eats nothing but pizza, kebab, Chinese ect, drinks 50 red bulls a day, only works 2 days a week spends the rest alternating between sleeping and eating. Surely she should have to demonstrate some form of self control before being given them ? Obviously paying private is a different story | |||

I have had no side effects at all and I'm currently taking 12.5mg injections. We know a lot of people taking them. A few have had nausea and headaches. Most have been fine.

The fact they are taking it to the highest court in the uk (and no evidence) lol , you are aware under legal binding through the courts any legal information given out will be detrimental to the case and thrown out? Yes its a lot of money but when there is concrete evidence as to the reason why their daughter died they want justice and protect the others taking these death jabs.. Look at the case in Scotland with the woman who died taking these death sticks, still going on a year later.. Again, proven the jabs were a significant factor in her death.. | |||

You’re asking your body to do something against what is natural, it’s never going to 100% safe. Luckily I don’t have to rely on this sort of thing, very much looked after myself with a good diet and lots of exercise. But I can worry about others and I will. | |||

Luckily I don’t have to rely on this sort of thing, very much looked after myself with a good diet and lots of exercise. But I can worry about others and I will." You do realise that some people are taking this medication as prescribed by their GP/NHS? You do realise it is perfectly safe to take and is licenced by the MHRA? Any risks are absolutely miniscule compared to the benefits it brings to a great many people, that's fact. It wouldn't be available on the NHS otherwise. Bully for you that your method of maintaining a healthy weight works, for many others it doesn't so maybe take you ill informed internet nonsense and worry elsewhere, you just upset people. | |||

"I’ve had such a good experience with it. I would recommend eating little and often. Even if you’re not hungry. The worst thing you can do is not eat. The nausea is real 😩 I think the main thing you can do is to train your mind to think differently about food choices. There’s no point in losing all the weight to then come off mounjaro and start eating shite again. Use it as a tool to help with better food choices and don’t be dependent on it. My inbox is open if you need any support! Wishing you luck 🍀 " Good advice 👍 | |||

"I’ve had such a good experience with it. I would recommend eating little and often. Even if you’re not hungry. The worst thing you can do is not eat. The nausea is real 😩 I think the main thing you can do is to train your mind to think differently about food choices. There’s no point in losing all the weight to then come off mounjaro and start eating shite again. Use it as a tool to help with better food choices and don’t be dependent on it. My inbox is open if you need any support! Wishing you luck 🍀 " Thankyou so much Mrs | |||

"Once you start on this or any other weight loss drug is it a lifelong thing? " Nope. Generally people have a target in mind and once reached, they'll reduce dosage gradually until stopping completely. The point is that by the time they have reached their target weight they have completely changed their relationship with food and will eat more healthier to maintain the loss. Also, once you're at a healthy BMI you won't be prescribed it anyway. Remember, this drug doesn't make you lose weight, you still need to change your eating habits to achieve that. | |||

It might facilitate a deficit, making it easier to achieve, seemingly naturally, through suppression of those elements you mentioned. Typically people increase their dose levels, which could help to sustain that deficit for longer than someone might generally do, without it. | |||

I chat with people using Mounjaro every day, a social group of around 80 who are from a wide range or backgrounds and ages both male and femal. None have had any serious side effects, and over the last 12 months all have lost weight, gained confidence, feel healthier. All have had a love/hate relationship with diets which simply haven't worked for them. My wife has lost 6 stone in 12 months, it really has changed her life for the better. I am now on the same journey and already feeling the benefits and lost over a stone. People who bad mouth this treatment do so almost always from a position of ignorance, and why some want to spead BS scare stories is beyond me. | |||

" People who take them just as "the new skinny fad" are taking it away from the people who really need it" It's pretty difficult to get a prescription if you don't have a BMI of over 30 for that very reason. I dare say people who really shouldn't be on it can get hold of it via varios deceptive means, but I'd be surprised if it was widespread. | |||

"I'm a type 2 diabetic and I've been on them for about 7 months now. No side effects but I do know people who have felt sick on them for the first week or two but their Dr gave them anti sickness tablets to combat this. I've lost 3 stone but I cannot do any for of exercise as such due to having failed back surgery due to nerve damage which affects my legs and upper body. So I piled the weight on and this injection has been a life saver for me.

" If they're buying it privately how are they taking them away from anyone who really needs it? " Because just like 'Victosa' there is not an endless supply so if its is being bought by people to just lose a few pounds to make them look better on the beach then it'll become more difficult for pharmacists to keep up with being able to supply patients with NHS prescriptions. I was on 'Victosa' before i was prescribed 'Mountjaro' and this is exactly what happened. | |||

"Yes you can with a private prescription, i know several people who have done this for vanity not necessity. " Well if they want to do that, it's much harder now. Having gone through the online prescription process with two different suppliers in the last 2 months, they require photo evidence of being overweight above 30BMI, evidence of your weight in video form (ie scales), and other suppliers also require an actual call with one of their pharmacists. The rules/process was tightened up about 6 months ago due to the reasons you suggest. | |||

What is your evidence? I'm sorry for your cousins death but as only 82 deaths have been attributed to these types of medicines he was horribly unlucky to be one of them. Every drug can cause death. Aspirin causes 3000 deaths a year. As always you need to weigh up the pros and cons. Diabetes was killing me but I now have it under control" Very good point very well made. ANY drugs can cause death in people. Some only have to eat peanuts, never mind drugs!!  | |||

"So just to give everyone an idea of my experiences on MJ, here is where I am up to so far! I started on 26/05, so I'm just over 7 weeks in. I did the first 4 weeks on 2.5mg and I've had 3 x 5mg so far. My starting weight was 16st 2lbs (102.7kg). No 6 weeks in I have lost 2 st 5lbs (14.8kg) and weigh in at pretty much 13 stone 12. My BMI has dropped from 32.8 to 27.8. I feel much better. I've dropped sizes in all of my clothes, feel like I have more energy, I don't get hangry any more, and I generally look and feel a lot healthier. Side effects have been minimal for me. I read a lot before I started and had some worries about living with toilet issues etc, but the only things I experienced were slight headaches and broken sleep when I started. These were due to the fact I wasn't drinking anywhere near enough water and now I am back up to a reasonable amount and taking an electrolyte tablet each day I'm golden. Cost wise, I'm spending around £110-120pm on the injections depending on the dosage using discount codes where possible or referrals, and I can categorically confirm that I save more on food than I spend on the injections. If cost is something that is putting you off starting you really should keep this in mind. What will it be like when I want to come off? I don't know. I have found myself making healthier choices when out and about with work, picking the food which isn't so bad for me, only eating what I need and not clearing up the plate, turning down the pint with dinner. Hopefully these are the things that will stay if I stop using the medications. Personally for me, it's working great and doing exactly what I want it to. While it might not be for everyone, and everbody will likely have a different experience with regards to results and side effects, I think it's definitely worth a look into. If anyone wants to know more, or is looking to try it and wants a referral code which will get them £40 off then feel free to slide into my DMs." - That’s an amazing loss! And so great to hear your advice. Good luck on your journey! 🍀 | |||

I have to enter video calls to get my script though because my photos aren’t proof enough as my waist height ratio in comparison to my apparent heavy set has me in the abnormally slim category apparently.

. Losing weight gradually allows our skin to naturally readjust to our new body size. I'd gained over a stone through winter and have not been meeting, so wanted to get healthier and more comfortable with my looks.
The only side effects have been mild indigestion occasionally.
It still requires the hard work of calorie restriction and living more healthily
The good news is that they are finding new benefits from it,as time progresses. It's helping to cut death rates, after heart failure and strokes as well as their recurrence.
Newer meds under development will probably be even more effective than these | |||

"You may get some gastro intestinal issues. If they are bearable stick with it they won't last long. I'm on ozempic and have dropped 20 kg easier than I have ever before. But it is something most people have to be on for life to keep the weight off. I'm diabetic so will be on it for life anyway to control my diabetes. But it's amazing. It stops the food noise and keeps you fuller for longer. We don't know what the long term effects are but diabetes and obesity are so harmful to our health that most people think it will be mitigated. Oprah is looking incredible on it." My boyfriend is on Mounjaro. He's a type 1 diabetic so uses insulin whenever he eats. Last June when he started on it he weighed in at 19 stone 5lbs (he didn't look it as he's six foot four). He had developed a high resistance to insulin and was taking a large amount with every meal or snack. Not the best. He was only 41% time in range for his glucose control. Now, ten months on, he weighs 14 stone 8lbs and looks and feels much better for it. Zero side effects and it's been an amazing success. The amount of insulin he uses has been reduced considerably and he's now over 80% time in range. We really enjoyed going clothes shopping to replace all his old stuff. He was a 38 waist, now he's under 34 (he does need a belt though). Everyone is different and react differently. So scaremongering others because of a specific personal experience isn't the way forward. Mounjaro was fully tested for years before it was licenced. It has changed my boyfriends life for the better in so many ways. So, if anyone wishes to start using it yes be aware there could be side effects as with every other medication out there. If you get them it means Mounjaro isn't suitable for you. There may be other options available. This is my personal experience of the drug. Not something I've read or heard through gossip. Hope it helps. | |||

"The government tightened the rules for licensed medicines such as these. The online services would be likely to lose their licence and potentially lose all of their other business,as well as getting fined. This is why it's harder than buying something from eBay etc People who started some time before could have found it simpler but newer starters will find it simple but challenging | |||
