For the first ten months on Mounjaro, I never really felt much difference between injection sites. I used my stomach, upper thighs and the back of my arm and if anything, I thought my stomach was my best area.
That has completely changed over the last couple of months. My stomach has gone from being my go-to area to the one place I now avoid.
I can’t say for certain why. I’ve lost over 12 stone from my heaviest and I do have loose skin around my stomach now, so maybe I’m not hitting the fatty area the same way I used to. Maybe absorption has changed. I genuinely don’t know.
But I do know how it feels. When I inject into my thigh or the back of my arm, the Mounjaro feels much more effective for me. There is no comparison at the moment.
It’s a good reminder to pay attention to your own body. What worked at the start might not always feel the same later on.
Has anyone else noticed a difference depending on where they inject?
