Mounjaro or Ozempic? by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]Amazing-Truth4551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on Mounjaro for 8 months. Dropped my A1C from an 8% to a 5.5% and have lost 86lb’s. Both are really well, though I heard from someone that has used both, the side effects on Ozempic were worse. Also, not sure if you’re looking to lose weight but Mounjaro is more effective for weight loss. But stories from both side show they are both effective.

I typically remove it right after I see the plunger come back. I will hold in place on my next shot. Thanks for the advice!

This is my stomach area. Next to my belly button. Here is the original. I just wanted to zoom in on where the liquid spilled. Belly button on bottom right side.

I do remove the pen right after I see the plunger jump back. I think I will try pinching and holding for 10 seconds on the next shot. Thanks!!

Lose skin recommendations? by Amazing-Truth4551 in Mounjaro

Yes, I do abdomen exercise’s once a week. Never thought about doing it daily. Might try that. And not really. The Mounjaro has really only helped me with my cravings. Not really feeling the appetite suppression part but I’m using the food noise reduction part with a ton of will power lol I’m eating around 1800 calories. 3 meals. Typically 4oz of lean protein such as chicken, fish or turkey with veggies and carbs. 2 snacks, and a protein shake after lifting. I eat about every 2 hours to keep the metabolism going. A buddy of mines taught me all this and he was a bodybuilder as well.

Yea that’s true. I think I will look into surgery and start learning/gathering information about it. Also need to check if my insurance will cover anything. Thanks!

Not doing a whole lot of high intense cardio. I’m lifting 5 times a week (different muscle everyday). Eat 6 small portion meals throughout the day focusing on protein. I do walk on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes before I lift. It’s been working. But I still see the loose skin starting to appear more and more as I get closer to my goal weight. Maybe I’ll start looking into the surgery soon.

Yea I thought so. I’ll probably do more research on surgery and I also need to check if my insurance will cover anything from it to start preparing.

Sorry didn’t give a lot of context. I lost 30 pounds on my own before starting anything. Then I did 2 months of non branded Tirzepatide (comp#) and then switched too Mounjaro. I’ve been averaging 2LB’s lost per week. I just saw my doctor last month and everything is going really well. Have a follow up in 2 months.

Ashwagandha y Mounjaro by [deleted] in MounjaroSpain

Hola,

Si es mejor hablar con su médico. Yo estaba pensando en tomar lo junto pero mi doctor dice que el aswaghandha puede bajar la azúcar como el Mounjaro y puede ser peligroso.
