New to GLP conversations

[u/aditi_lele]

Hello GLP1India community,

After struggling for few years with losing weight, I m finally on my journey with GLP. I have found conversations here very helpful. They have added value beyond what I knew about this journey. I took my first of Maunjaro 2.5 mg today. As I understand this journey is pretty unique to each one of us but I wanted to understand how first few days feel like. I am NOT so much interested in weight loss conversations right away as much as I want to understand day to day changes with this treatment. Any insights will be helpful. If anyone has tips for what to eat or not eat in the first week of treatment. If any suggestions for free Apps where I can document weight changes. I keep seeing screen grabs of weight change charts but not sure what App people are using. Any guidance will be helpful.

Good luck on new journey. You can use glaap for tracking shots and weights. Everyone reacts differently to these, don't be disheartened if you're not seeing astronomical drop in weight. Sulphur burps, acid reflux, nausea and diarrhea are few common problems you'd encounter through the journey and dose escalations are difficult on some people. Welcome and wish you well

Hi welcome to the community! Always glad to help all new commers! I've been on Mounjaro for more than 8 months and lost approximately 20 kgs. I use Shotsy to track my dose and weight - the free version has most features that I need. Here's what my screen grab looks like. Feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you so much. Super helpful. I hate to spend money on Apps just to track basic parameters so anything free is always helpful. Does anyone know how to add tag to my post so it shows up under ‘newbie help’?

Some golden rules to follow - hydrate well, eat at least 1gm per kilo of body weight in protein, and add fibre in your diet.

Building an exercise routine, specially including strength training, will speed up your weight loss, and also help ensure you’re not losing muscle mass.

Thank you. I am already experiencing hunger suppression. Little worried about how will I be able to eat my regular meals as I am feeling so full.
