Mounjaro injection site rotation tips?

Since starting Mounjaro I've lost 17 lbs and I want to keep my stomach area from getting lumpy, so I'm trying to figure out a good rotation pattern. Do you all strictly alternate between belly and thigh, or do you map out spots within each area? Would love to hear how you keep track week to week.

I'm only 7 lbs in but I map quadrants on each side of my belly, so I get four stomach spots before I ever touch a thigh. A little dot on the calendar in my kitchen tells me where last week's shot went, which is the only system my forgetful brain can handle. No lumps or tender spots yet with that setup.

I map my stomach into four quadrants and just snap a photo of the spot each week, easier than a written note. Down 52 lbs and never had a lump, though I'll bump to a thigh if a belly spot still feels sore from the last round.

Down 15 myself and I just move around the belly in a rough circle, pinching up to check for scar tissue before each shot. My phone reminder includes which side I used last, which solved the "wait, where did I go" problem for me. Thighs only when travel messes up the routine.

I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose? So glad I'm not alone in this.

I do the same quadrant thing on my belly since my stomach is my only real option with Ozempic, four spots rotating clockwise and a quick note in my calendar of which one is next. Down 12 lbs with zero lumpiness so far. If a spot ever feels tender I just skip ahead one position that week.

The sulfur burps hit me worst around shot day plus two, and sipping ginger tea through that window took the edge off for me. Also noticed they faded once my body adjusted to each dose bump. Congrats on the 50, that's huge.

I keep it simple: left thigh, right thigh, then each side of the belly, so nothing gets hit within a month. Down 31 lbs with no lumpiness using that. I mark the spot in my notes app with a little X so I never have to guess.

I map spots within the belly itself since that's where most of my shots land, kind of a left/right/upper/lower grid I keep in my notes app. Down 39 lbs and zero lumpiness so far, though I throw in a thigh week every so often just to give the stomach a break.

Congrats on 17 lbs, that's ahead of where I was at this point (16 down myself). I do a left/right belly alternation in a notes app since my memory is terrible, and every fourth shot I switch to a thigh. Seems to keep everything smooth so far.

I do thigh one week, then alternate left and right sides of the belly, mapping mentally around where I last pinned. Sixty-some pounds down and zero lumpiness, so it's held up fine for me. A calendar note with the spot would've saved me a few "wait, where did I go last time" moments early on.

I keep a little grid in my head for the belly, four spots around the navel, and every fourth week I move to a thigh to give my stomach a rest. Down 38 lbs and nothing lumpy yet, so the pattern seems to be working for me.

I do belly and thighs alternating weeks, and within the belly I split it into four quadrants so no spot gets hit twice in a month. Down 24 lbs and no bumps so far with that pattern. Keeping a note on my phone of the exact quadrant was the part that actually made it stick.

I do belly one week, thigh the next, then move to the opposite side of whichever area I'm on, and a quick note in my phone keeps me honest. 12 lbs in and no lumps so far. The grid approach sounds like overkill to me but if it works, it works.

Down 15 myself and I just flip belly one week, thigh the next without overthinking it. Kept a note on my phone for the first couple months until it became habit, and no sore or lumpy spots so far. If my stomach still feels tender on shot day I just lean toward the thigh anyway.

I do a clockwise loop on my belly, four spots roughly around the navel, then switch to a thigh the next week. I mark it in my phone calendar so I don't have to remember. Down 34 lbs and no lumpy spots so far doing it that way.

Congrats on 50 down, that's huge. Sulfur burps were my nemesis too until I cut way back on greasy food the day after my shot, and ginger chews took the edge off the rest. Down 36 myself and the burps mostly stopped once I figured out the trigger foods.

I rotate thighs and belly every other week, then pick a different corner of whichever area I'm on, and that's kept things smooth 14 lbs in. The photo idea from the last poster is smart, might steal that since my calendar notes got confusing fast.

I started out just winging it and got a sore spot on my lower belly, so now I treat it like a grid too. I keep a note on my phone labeled left/right belly or thigh and which corner, and 11 lbs in it's kept everything smooth. Bumping to the thigh when a spot is still tender from the last shot works well for me too.

I do a clockwise sweep of four belly spots and only move to the thigh if one still feels sore, which has worked fine across 58 lbs lost. The trick for me was always picking the same order so I stopped needing to write it down.
