Thank you Jackie Great tips to have for when I start x

I am very windy ,but I have changed my diet and I just treat maunjaro has my friend .I have increased my fluid intake ,so far so good 9kg down

Some really great tips there. Kiwi is also good for constipation. The best advice I had was eat slowly and chew a lot.

Love Center Parcs - we go to Sherwood Forest one. Well done on 4 stone that’s amazing 😻 Team RH is a health and fitness app that’s awesome, even though I’m at target weight I’m a member as it’s ace for accountability and support. They have just added a GLP 1 plan to their app, just shows how big it’s becoming. Have a great 2025 xx

I have stopped for the moment. I was on the 5mg. I had a strange sensation in right-hand side of my back and near my belly-button on the same side. Skin was sensitive but not sure if you could say it was sore. Also felt a bit numb. Was a combination of those feelings and felt like it was the skin rather than muscular or internal. Might not be describing it well and have no idea what it was. My stomach is still sensitive in a small patch. Might try again when I am sure there is nothing serious. Think it might have been linked to a bout of constipation. I was doing well at taking in water bit forgot over a couple of days. Had a bit of pain from that just before the skin thing.

I'm in my 4th week at 2.5mg and the queasiness still comes and goes. I have the new dose of 5mg starting on Wednesday (2 days) a little apprehensive about titrating up and my current queasiness. I haven't lost much from week to week but overall, I've lost 9 pounds in nearly 4 weeks. Final check in 2 days. I think i'll do monthly measurements and weight checks instead of weekly. The food noise definitely returns by Monday (2 days before next dose). I feel so liberated that Im able to turn down offers of snacks and treats. Speaking of, I haven't had any wine either for a week now and Ive noticed a huge difference by not having any. More energy and lighter on my feet. kinda crazy...but a great feeling! You are a true warrior, Jackie! You're doing so well after your surgery and recent health scares. <3 a true inspiration for us

Really great job with the weightloss Jackie. I used to get low after Christmas, but as I get older, I settle more into being me. When I started looking at my faith and making Christmas about that and family, I found I was a great deal happier. It is just after 4:00 am and we return to school today. Students come back tomorrow. I am looking forward to getting back into teaching British Literature 2 during this spring semester. Brit Lit isn't my field (20th C American is my love), but my classes are doing a theme of horror and the students seem to get into that. Jumping right in with Dark Romanticism, then moving to Gothic Victorian, and on.

Great weight loss Jackie x

Happy New Year 🎉

Great job, Jackie! How you manage with the addition of the surgery is just so admirable. While 7.5 mg for me was fine, titrating up to 10 mg was almost life changing. All the food noise disappeared, the pounds started departing, my thinking fog disappeared and I just feel so much better, it's like magic. I have lost 32 pounds in 15 weeks but it was very slow; almost no weight loss until I went to 7.5 in mid October. The dr and I agree that obviously my body doesn't produce enough of the peptides that the jab provides so finally having something to help me after all these years of food deprivation and dieting with no results is almost a miracle. Let's just carry on, shall we?

Amazing results Jackie, glad your surgery went well and you have.a voice. I hope you can find a way of eating that doesn't trigger your anxiety around having a gall bladder attack or the attack itself. I think looking at the psychological reasons around why we eat/crave/overconsume are definitely worth a deeper look and Mounjaro gives me the headspace to be able to do this and challenge or look at my thoughts when they pop up. We are all a work in progress. Enjoy the time with the grandkids and in nature.

Seven weeks on and I have lost just six pounds and the food noise is coming back just a couple of days after the injection I’m serving on will power alone on about three days. I am having trouble with the injections, I am having a reaction to the medication when I inject a big round red spot appear. I think it’s an allergic reaction and I’m having to take an antihistamine tablet a day because it’s also itchy. I saw an American lady doing one of the KZbin shorts she seems to have had a reaction like mine she took an antihistamine tablet a few days before her shot and she said so far so good. I had a go on my last injection and I think it’s an allergic worked although to be honest I have four found circles where I have had two bruises and the two allergic reactions so 🤷🏻‍♀️who knows but I’m pretty sure I didn’t inject near the red spots. Going to inject in my thigh next time with taking the antihistamine tablets. My diabetic nurse is going to do a blood test and she will not allow me to go up to .5 until we know if my body is having a reaction to the medication if so I think my practice will stop me from using it. Prayers for me please 🙏🏻 as this is stopping my blood glucose from going high. 🫶🏻

My thought going into 2025 is how life saving for me this medication is. I turned 60 in September and felt very despondent, have a lot of weight to lose and after trying all diets under the sun had no hope….i then learned and researched Mounjaro, am lucky enough to be able to afford it and so started my journey on 22nd November 24. I am only into my 7th week and just done my 2nd 5mg jab (I am doing 5th dose for cost reasons), have been relatively side effect free, little sickness, windy and burpy after my first 5mg, but only lasted the day and was manageable….my loss this week was 6lb which I didn’t expect but have been out walking, as no longer painful knee yay. So my total loss is 21 1/2 lbs, I understand and expect it to settle and I honestly deprive myself of nothing, if I want it I have it….amazing thing is I just don’t want the same rubbish I used to eat. Sorry for the waffle and well done on your losses, hope you soon get well and back to normal x

Slow and steady wins the race my lovely. You've lost 4 stone wow!! You've got this! ❤

Happy New Year 🎉🎉

The info had to be sent to my doctor. I tried clicking No and then it wouldn't let me order until I said yes.

Thanks Jackie 🎉

If 5 is the increased strength but not the amount of liquid then is half of that dose actually 1.25 of liquid? Im still waiting for my first dose to arrive but keen to extend it and uae the 5th dose etc

Do you use the same needle for each of the 4 or 5 jabs? Or did you just reuse the qeek 4 needle for week 5?

I used a code for my first month.. after that do you have to pay full price? Are there any other codes available for month 2 or don't they let you apply another one after the first order?

Thanks Jackie.. Take it easy and happy new year. I've also been having poached chicken and I've found it easier to digest and easy on my tummy. I put a couple of pound on Christmas week.. 😢 So I've just took my 1st 5mg dose today so I'm going to Do This 😊 🎉

Where does the gallstone pain start please

Disappointed to see my comment of best wishes, praise and advice on a facebook group deleted. I’ve supported from day one and given praise on these videos when others give you grief. The advice was instead of a Facebook page, for more privacy to create a group. Open public pages if people comment or even like a post all their real friends and family will see it in the main newsfeed and not everyone wants people to know their journey. With locked groups they do not. I was only trying to help. I’ll step away from this channel now but good luck with the rest of journey.

Jackie, you crack me up! I swear sometimes you're listening to what is going on in my head. You just hang in there and recover from your surgery. That wasn't a small thing and your body has a lot going on right now. I am purchasing used clothing on E Bay and a few things on Amazon to tide me over. Still in my US size 22 but I can tell that size 20 isn't that far off.

It’s week 16 on Mounjaro. Lost only 1stone 8lbs. Very slow. Slow is better because don’t want to end up with extra skin. As I am already flabby

In September, 5 days after my 1st 2.5 Zepbound shot, I had a gallbladder attack. It scared me to death, and I THREW OUT THE OTHER 3 SHOTS THAT CAME IN THE MONTHS SUPPLY! Anyways, I had surgery to remove my gallbladder (had a 1 inch stone), recovered from that and in my follow up visit with my doctor he asked me if I wanted to go back on the Zepbound. I told him I was scared, and he told me most likely I'll be fine because I no longer have a gallbladder. So, I did and I'm down -25 lbs. in the first month. Also, I'd recommend looking up a "Gallbladder Diet." there's plenty of people that have had the surgery and go on to live a normal life. Love your channel and content, Eva. P.S. I kick myself in the butt for throwing out those shots. In the US my prescription costs $1,249/month :)

I’m the same as you, not buying clothes. I have 12-18’s in wardrobe but the black bags are getting filled for the Charity Shops. I love your chats, you say it as it is ! Take care and see you next time. Xxx

I am so happy you changed your mind and talked to a GP and is soon having a scan done. Keep us updated! ❤

Belated merry Christmas to you Glad you thyroid op went well I have gallstones and am going to start mounjaro I know how horrific a gallstone attack is The consultant says I must lose 3 stone plus to have an op Guess I’m scared taking the mounjaro if it’s going to cause a flare up but I need also to lose the weight Be so interested as to what happens with your scan etc please

Thanks Jackie, I just got my 5th dose out my the pen. I too had a right old struggle but managed to click it to the 1. It give me about half of the dose, so used the insulin syringe to capture a little more. If I haven't had the full dose, I'll see how I go and perhaps start my 5mg the following week.. Hope you are doing recovering well ❤

I've had little to no effect from the 2.5 starting on the 5ml next week. I enjoy listening to your journey. Keep strong and carry on. ❤Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all. 😊Oh I should add that I have given up alcohol so maybe something has been affected by the medication 😊

Dear Jackie, I did something stupid that I really regret now. I finished my 2,5 without the extra dose, I then started on 5 and due to finances as I wanted to stretch after a week or two on 5mg I injected myself with the magic dose of 2,5. So not only did I go down for a week but also it was that extra dose. I am back on 5 and plan to these the magic 5th dose also to stretch till pay day but I'm scared that I caused damage to my treatment and that it won't be effective. I don't feel much food suppression after what I did. Do you think I ruined it for myself? I don't know how to better explain it. Would be grateful for a reply. Agata

Baileys and Bristol Cream unopened here. No interest in them. No chocolates in house at all. I’ve polished my halo 😂😂😂

Merry Christmas Jackie. Hope you have a fabulous time ❤ and recover well..

Merry Christmas 🎄 x

I'm having my lowest calorie count for Christmas ever,no interest in food. Hope you recover well, ready for the new year.

Merry Christmas to you also. A gallbladder attack is awful. Worse than having a baby. Had mine out 37 years ago. The attacks get worse.

And she places the word “monjauro” into the title to get views. Glad you feel better.

I have been a massage therapist and energy healer for almost twenty years. It's amazing what breath and intention can do. I have been on Zepbound for almost 20 weeks and have had a few crisis times also. I always return to the breath.

I had gallstones years ago and what you’ve described sounds exactly like that. I would say it probably passed which is why the pain suddenly went away, and came on after you’d eaten something fatty.

I had this happened on Zepbound when I went up from 5mg to 7.5mg. I never used another 7.5 pen and went back to 5mg. I didn't go to the hospital but I was close to going.

My diabetic nurse told me that if you get pains across your stomach get help straight away it could be trouble of pancreatic problems don’t leave it. The other thing it could be is kidney stones. I have had in the past trouble with kidney stones but about 15 years ago when I worked in a hospital I suddenly had stomach ache at first I thought they were period pains but my supervisor sent me to A&E I waited from 9.30 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon to get seen. The pain got so bad I can honestly say it was worse than having a baby. I say in A&E holding kidney dish after kidney dish just throwing up constantly about every 5 minutes. When I was finally called to have an x-ray I finally saw the doctor and had a needle in his had I pulled my trousers down and just told him to just stitch it in I was by that time in so much pain I practically begged him to stop the pain. That was renal colic and I had a stone which got stuck scraped along the tube and scratch it sending it into spasms. Please I also believe in the spirit realm but they helped you then but you now have to help yourself and get that pain checked out.

Take care of yourself. 🫶🏽

How amazing. I’m totally going to join you’re other channel as I am a true believer and need some healing myself when it comes to my broken heart of losing my Mum this year 💔 very glad you’re feeling better and good luck with your surgery. I’m also on Monjouro which is what brought me to your channel, so I got two for the price of one finding you! Be careful with lamb and just red meat in general on this medication, even in small doses I’ve heard lots of people not being able to tolerate it. TFS you’re story 😊

Well, what is “it” ?🤷🏽‍♀️

It does sound like gallstones. Lamb can be very fatty and it could have set something off. I had my gallbladder out in 1999, before that everything that has too much fat in it set it off. Glad you’re better but do see your Gp. Merry Christmas. I’m on second week of mounjaro, 7lb off 😊 x

Ouch! Sounds like the pain i experienced when I had gallstones. Please see your GP when you can. Hugs!❤❤

So you were barely eating but still thought it was a good idea to eat a really fatty meat? Fatty foods along with spicy foods are well known for causing GI issues while taking weight loss injections. Shame you didn't ask the spirits for help before causing all this drama and wasting precious NHS resources SMH

Sounds like a gall stone attack. You should have an ultrasound to check. It comes and stops so suddenly and is excruciating.
