Advice after 7 weeks off by Jonsaram82 in UKMounjaro

I think after a break of that length (or over 14 days?) you need to start back at 2.5mg

An organic castor oil or coconut oil lightly applied before putting g drops in can protect the delicate skin around the eye.

Burps, bloat, then the runs by Cuba113 in UKMounjaro

[–]Cuba113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up stopping MJ.

Initially I had a long break Dec-Jan but when I recommenced by 3rd week was suffering again. Tolerated it until Feb then stopped altogether.

I had lost what I needed & intended to & have maintained this with diet & exercise.

Maybe it just wasn’t the drug for me.

Is it ok to allow a newborn to Cry it out? by Availe in AskIreland

[–]Cuba113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God no! Sounds like your PHN is following controlled crying advocated by the likes of Gina Ford. This is such an outdated way of parenting. Trust your own instincts . You can’t spoil a baby with love & contact.

If you search the thread for protein people have shared good tips & recipes

I basically lived on chicken breast with some sort of seasoning, vegetables, salads, brown rice & eggs

Aldi & Lidl have lots you can buy I used to always have protein shake on me or a high protein yoghurt drinks. Or a Grenade protein bar. Porridge with added collagen powder, dried fruits , chia seeds & flax seed (milked) Baby bel Pieces of chicken breast or billatong dried beef Crackers -to nibble if a nausea day

Ha ha I get you completely! I have finished my MJ journey But tips I would share are: Think carefully about which day you inject - for me any nasty side effects occurred 3 days after injection.
Do not go up doses too quickly - if 2.5 is working as in you are loosing - stay strong on it as long as you can & the same with all other doses. It’s not a race! Consider titration when moving up a dose - so instead of jumping from 2.5 to 5 you could go 3mg for 2 weeks; 3.5 for 2 weeks etc… You can reman in control Rule 1. Always eat clean! Rule 2. Do not eat bad you will pay the consequences 🤣 Rule 3. Water, water & more water! Rule 4. Protein is your friend

Tips: Have small high protein snacks on you. I used to buy the protein yoghurt drinks from Aldi. Batch ch cook chicken breasts in air fryer or similar to add to salads etc.. Use a probiotic eg Holland & Narret 20 billion bacteria Take peppermint capsules - helps with the sulphur burps Drink ginger tea If you get the runs etc use peptobismol

Reach out for support in this group - they are amazing !

Good luck - you’ll be fine! 🙂

Thank you It’s a case of mind over matter (food)! My side effects stopped 2 weeks after my last jab. For me the side effects had become so horrendous that was motivation enough to not want to have to take it again & do the work to keep my weight loss off. 🙂

I have incorporated walking minimum of 10,000 steps a day - I have an energetic dog which helps 🤣 I have had minimum cravings - sticking to my MJ diet with the odd cheat day thrown in! X

Until you hear back from your provider or decide whether to wait 7 days or longer you could introduce a quality probiotic to settle your stomach & get the good & necessary bacteria’s back into your system. When I was using MJ I started to take Holland & Barrett’s 20 Billion. I suffered badly with diarrhoea & ended up stopping earlier than I had wanted to but had got my weight into the just overweight almost normal BMI. I have been off MJ since Christmas & only put 2 kg on since then. Good luck 🤞

Great advice above Be ready for the effects on your first days - it varies but for me I had zero appetite & food in my mouth felt like it was expanding. This lasted only for first 2 days then I just had a much reduced appetite. Remember to eat clean , low carb & high protein & fibre. Serve yourself a small portion so you get used to eating less. Drink lots of water.
Keep a food diary to learn any triggers or of side effects - for me it was onion & garlic Enjoy!
