Looking for Advice

Hey guys,

I’m a 17-year-old dude from India, currently sitting at about 112kg (around 246 lbs), and I could really use some advice from people who have been taking Mounjaro.

I’m making this post because I’m just exhausted with trying to lose weight the traditional way. For the last couple of months, I’ve literally tried everything. I’ve been super strict with my diet and hitting the gym consistently. But despite killing myself doing all that, I was somehow still gaining almost 1kg (2 lbs) a week. It was driving me crazy.

Soo I ended up going to an endocrinologist to figure out what was wrong. She ran a bunch of blood tests, but strangely enough, everything came back totally normal. Since the weight was still creeping up no matter what I did, me, my parents, and my doc all agreed it was time to try something different. So, we decided on Mounjaro.

I’m taking my very first dose this Monday! The plan is to start on 2.5mg for a month and then bump up to 5mg. Since I’m starting in a couple of days, I’d love some real-world advice from you guys. How much does your appetite actually drop on the 2.5mg, and how fast did you notice it? I'm also wondering what side effects hit you in the beginning and if there's anything rough I should brace myself for. What foods or drinks should I absolutely stay away from so I don't feel sick, especially on shot day? Honestly, any random hacks or general advice would be amazing.

I'm a bit nervous but really hoping this finally works for me. Thanks in advance for any help!
