How to give Mounjaro Shot in the arm 

Thank you for telling me I was very curious about it 😆 thanks for following as well glad to have you here

It’s definitely helpful to get some extra and gives you time in case you have to search around, if the pharmacy doesn’t have it I’ve been blessed that I’ve only had 1 time where I waited 3 days so that was nothing

Hi @jmlmjr27 and welcome I’m so happy you left a comment 💜 yes it’s funny that I saw the pictures of where we can inject the medicine but I was too afraid to try other spots. I was told to inject in my abdomen and to alternate sides each month so I did that for at least 6 or 7 months m. It wasn’t until I watched another GLp1 user describe how she rotates all around belly button (2 inches away from belly button) and the back of arms and thighs - upper legs, that I got the courage to try the back of my arms. It was very awkward at first but I found a way to turn and aim the one so it’s not too hard to do. I actually could have asked my his and to do it but I knew he wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it it lol and I’m a do it yourself kind of gal anyway. Funny thing is how I’m noticing more appetite suppression when I inject on my left side I started keeping notes about how I felt each day to see any trends Just quick notes Too bad you can’t just stay on one side I think it’s better to go to both sides anyway. I have learned that it is because of the scar tissue that occurs when there is an Injection Good luck to you How long have you been taking a GLP1 and which one are you taking

Tips on doing the thigh? I did it same as I do on my stomach and it poured down my leg

@@MounjarojourneywithPam Thank you for getting back to me. I just started mounjaro 7.5 mg yesterday I have been on it for 3 months. I have lost a total of 14 pounds.. and I can feel it it feels great!!! My doctor told me not to get discouraged she says, I am doing it the best way losing the weight slowly.

@@HeidiLovesNYC Hi Heidi, I started on my thighs but it was giving me painful injection site and bruises so I inject 2" away from my belly button and alternate sides. I try to stay away from injecting into a stretch mark..(i have a lot of them so its challenging)

@@jmlmjr27 that’s where I do it also. I gave up on the thigh. It does hurt!

Thank you so much 💜 thanks for watching and subscribing

He he That song makes me want to dance too lol

@@MounjarojourneywithPam 🥰🥰🥰

Right ? I’m surprised I found d a way to reach the back of the arm by myself So far, I feel like I didn’t have as much appetite suppression in my quads or upper thighs and maybe it didn’t have enough fat on the top part . I can’t tell if it’s a mind trick yet but I feel like the Injections on the left side of my body, arm, tummy had more appetite suppression. It’s not much of a difference really But I’m trying it out to see I would just alternate sides of my stomach for a long time and I just started rotating in the last 6 shots

@@MounjarojourneywithPam Interesting experiment, I'm not game to try legs or arms in case it doesn't work! :)

@@Diamond-painting-With-Marie hi Diamond thanks for asking and welcome 🤗 I also have done videos showing meals that I make too First thing I’m apprised that my food bill has actually gone down and I’m buying better quality I got to Costco for most items : Kirkland grass fed ground beef, free range chicken thighs (I prefer the dark meat and I’ll air fry and eat the skin too) my cholesterol is great by the way and the LDL is higher now too for exercising. These meats are my go to and what I have mostly made meals around. I will sometimes buy a rotisserie chicken every other week because I get tired of it. I get a pack of Fairfield chocolate protein shake, eggs (mostly for the family) but I can boil some eggs and it’s quicker to have in hand. For many months I had a protein smoothie for breakfast I stopped them in April for intermittent fasting but I’m starting to make them again. Costco Organic coconut milk, organic frozen berries / fruit (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, sometimes I’ll with it to the frozen organic mango and pineapples. I use Suzanne somers gut renew plant protein powder as the base. Ordered from their website. Costco Salad kits like the superfoods cabbage mix, romaine or spring mix, I always buy a bag of bell peppers (6), sometimes zucchini, yellow squash and brown cremini mushrooms , bag of onions and a bag of garlic (🧄, not already diced up), now I’ll pick up a bag of siete corn chips that are low carb, I like to get a bag of chomps jerkey as a snack or when I’m on the go and don’t have time to eat so it ties me over I order my coffee beans online Joshua tree coffee beans that I enjoy grinding every morning and I out the Fairfield in that instead of creamer. At Walmart, I like to buy cans of beans(garbanzo, pinto, lentils, penguin peas, green beans, kidney, black beans, black eye peas). I add a can to taco meat to add protein and flavor. Cottage cheese at the grocery store and I just switched to good culture, I blend that up to make a dip Those are my main staples I joke that helps

Hi @debp3810 I’ve noticed some weeks are different but I get more cravings the day before Yesterday was day 5 and I didn’t have food noise or much of an appetite I’ve been in 10 mg since Jan 1

Sure that’s a good idea 👍

And maybe we can do a comparison

Wow, 122 pounds! So impressive! I weigh daily too and see what the lowest weight each week is. That is the weight I count because of water fluctuations. @MounjarojourneywithPam

Happy Mother's Day Pam! I am a new subscriber. I am glad we found each other! Yay RU-vid! 😊

@@AnchorMoments I’m going to start doing that too thank you for this suggestion

Hi heather 16 months Yikes did I say weeks in the video? My apologies if so, that would be crazy fast I lost fast 24 years ago after gastric bypass but I think then I lost 100 in 6 months

@@MounjarojourneywithPam yes you did and I had to rewind it to be sure lol I was like wait whaaaaaaat! 😂

@@HeatherPaulineWeightloss oh darn it. Thank you for letting me know. And I watched it so many times and didn’t pick up on that I’m down 124 lbs now, I started walking and cutting down on snacking and eating too many carbs . I did this for 7 months and lost 45 lbs, then I had blood test and found out I went into the range for type 2 diabetes My A1C was 6, so I’m guessing it had to be higher in the last 6 months that I hadn’t gone to the Dr

@@MounjarojourneywithPam wow still amazing! I’m almost 20lbs down, 9 weeks on zepbound/compound tirzepatide and following a low carb diet

@@HeatherPaulineWeightloss that’s great !!

Ya I said that wrong In so sorry I meant 16 months 🤦🏻‍♀️ so now that May is over I’m at 17 months in this weight loss journey
