Hi Rob, I also just stumbled across your videos which are just great. I have been on MJ since the 23rd of May and its been a very interesting journey so far. Its so refreshing finding UK voices on this medication and its results. You are doing brilliantly. I would say enjoy Florida leave the pen at home. This is a long journey and a marathon not a sprint. Enjoy your holiday and the medication will still be very much in your system and may help you to manage your reaction to all those delicious USA buffets!! I was on 2.5mg for 4 weeks but then I've been on 5mg since and this is week 18 for me. I've lost 32lbs so far and I am circa 10lbs away from my goal weight, this stuff works but I think I will be on it for the rest of my life in some form. So thanks for the videos and keep them coming... you have inspired me to take my next shot in my thigh as I have only ever injected in my tummy! I look forward to seeing more or indeed less of you xxx
Wow, fantastic progress and results for you 👏👏👏 that's really great to read 🥰 I hope taking your next shot in your thigh is good for you? If not, errrr, sorry?! Haha 😆
I'm so glad you posted about the pen cooler! I'm off to Amazon to get one right now. I went up to 5 mg at about the same time you did. The only thing keeping me from increasing the dose again is the possibility of make the (ahem) constipation worse. Maybe I'll let you dip your toe in the water first. LOL I hope you have a wonderful time in Florida. I'm envious beyond words!
glad to see you bought the pen cooler. in Gatwick you can put the pen in the fridge and put the blue ice insert into a bucket of ice overnight. it will work great! ❤ congrats on your fantastic weight loss! wow! 🎉
Thank you so much 🙏👍 I had planned to do this for Gatwick but it didn't go quite to plan as no fridge in the room!! I did manage to solve it, which I will explain in a video soon though 😊
Hello Rob I’ve just found you and want to thank you so much for much for doing these videos! I am on week 7 of my Mounjaro and stuck to the 2.5mg for my second pen as I had been getting really good results but find now it’s really tailing off so I have just ordered my first lot of 5mg which I was really nervous about. After watching this I no longer am stressing about it though so thank you for giving me confidence that it’s going to be alright. I’m dying to hear how you managed with transporting and taking your injections while away as I am also going to Florida shortly and am anxious about how I’m going to manage it all. Did the cooler work? I think I’ll order one, if so. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks and don’t stop vlogging! Also, wow and congrats on your epic weight loss!! You look great! Big hugs, Carolise x
Hey Carolise 👋 thanks so much for the support and compliment 🥰 I hope that your experience on 5mg is good and continues to go well for you. I have filmed a video about our whole holiday trip and my experience with taking mounjaro and everything. But, just to confirm that yes, the insulin pen cooler that I got worked well 👍🥳
Hi, Rob! New to your channel. I am in Orlando loving you are coming here for holiday. What fun you are about to have. I've been on GLP-1s for 2.5 years now (1st Trulicity and now Mounjaro). I am on 15mg Mounjaro and have been for 9 months. I have a small piece of info if you are still home before Orlando. I encourage you to think about taking ONE pen with you and only one. That way you do not have to worry about taking a pen back home. Your pens are going to be home and safe, just the one might be a good idea. *Remember your pen in the fridge before you leave for the airport in Crawley!* Many people forget in the rush. A note on the hotel room door can help remind you. Have a wonderful time in my hometown!
Oh yes, we love an Orlando trip, it's becoming a bit of an addiction 🤣 we already have one trip next year and are trying to fit in a second!! Re: taking one pen, yes this would have been perfect and my preferred option if the pen here in the UK was the same single dose pen that is distributed in the USA. However our pens have 4 x weekly dose in (plus a 5th dose which is a whole thing in itself) and so depending on how new / full the pen would be it could mean 4 weeks of mounjaro.
@@robcadenelkins2 By now you are either here in Orlando (did you get caught in Helene?) or safely back home. I apologize for being so centric-thinking, forgetting you have different pens than we do in the US. I really look forward to hearing how you ended up traveling with... or without...your pen. Wave to me as you fly into MCO!
Ahhh, we are back home safe and sound, we left (as scheduled) before Helene thankfully, I hope you were ok through it? I can definitely see the benefit of the single use pens but then we (UK) get the magical fifth dose and I think the out of pocket expenses are less here?
@@robcadenelkins2 They are definitely less expensive there. Mounjaro is over $1000 a month. Wahhh! I am so so happy you missed Helene totally. She was windy and rainy here (really windy), but she was a bitch as she moved further north. Did you have a good time here? I can't wait to watch your next video about what you did with that pen! I hope you will share food experiences, too. So so glad you came home safe and sound.
Greetings from Charlotte, NC Can I say you are amazing and look incredible!? I LOVE your vlog and your accent, & you're simply adorable. Lucky guy your hubby!🤗 🙋🏽♂😏💯😍

Haahah well you can be sure that if my constipation or any bowels changes occur I'll be here sharing it on the internet 🤣🤣🤣

Hi did you put the cooler in the hold baggage or take it with your carry on bag? Thanks
I am on week 5, lost 24lbs so far. I'm feeling great.
That's fantastic! 👏👏👏 We got this 💪
