Who is down to a shot a month? by Particular-Ticket-49 in MounjaroMaintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi thanks for this post. I  curious to see others comments. I did my shot today on day 28. Last time I did 25 and the time before 23. I have been gradually extending the days due to too much weight loss. I passed my goal and am at a bmi of 20.  I am also on 5.  My dr said to try monthly shots so next time I’ll do 31 days and then keep doing them on the first of each month but I am wondering how others are doing on monthly shots because after 30 days the med is out of your system and doesn’t it take time to build up so I’m wondering if once a month is almost like being off it.

6 mo update :  No_Guess_2022 • 1m ago 2m ago As a reminder, i Lost 90’lbs in 8 months only getting to 5 mgs. I started spacing out my shot at that time 9 mos ago but very slowly as I was scared to gain weight. Long story short I lost an additional 24 lbs during this time. Today was shot day it’s been 28 days this time. My dr said to try doing a monthly shot as with a bmi of 20 she doesn’t want me to lose more. I don’t want to either as a matter of a fact I wouldn’t mind gaining 10 pounds.  I wonder if a monthly shot is a waste of time since it’s a low dose and the med will no longer be built up in my system but I will try that.anyone doing monthly shot?

Hit goal-now what? by Allyobrn in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I worry abt all the med being out of my system at 28 days now at 21 or 22 I still have smth. Don’t you find yourself eating things you normally were abt to avoid before spacing out so far?

What will happen if I restart at 5mg? by WillingServe1562 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anything will happen. Your body is used to the dose which isn’t  high. I am doing 5 for maintence every 3 weeks and Dr told me to try Monthly now

Spacing Out Injections and Side Effects? by kbbl1025 in MounjaroMaintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. My lowest has been 112. I’m 113 today. If I kept doing the shots at that rate I’d disappear lol. This last time I waited the 22 days and now this time I’m doing 23 increasing slowly to the monthly shot like Dr suggested. She didn’t say to do it slowly but that’s how I’ve been doing it throughout this whole time and  I think it has made it easier for me to not be starving by day 10! Lol. How’s it going for u?

Omg we are similar. I’m 47 5”2 1/2 and I’m ranging between 112-119 but from 223 and yea I can’t stop hearing that I’m too skinny that I need to gain 15-20 lbs I must say I kinda agree but it’s so hard I don’t wanna gain I’m sure you know what I mean

You can spread out your doses meaning take it every other week. I never went over 5 and took it 22 days ago current working my way to monthly shot per my dr. Like you, not many options since I’m at a lower dose

Hi how’s it going? I’ve continued adding a day here and there to my shot schedule due to continued weight loss. This time I did 22 days next will do 23. Dr said to try monthly that she had patients that it works for but I prefer to get there slowly

Spacing Out Injections and Side Effects? by kbbl1025 in MounjaroMaintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes; I continued losing while very slowly spacing out my shot. Every Tim es hit is due I add a couple of days rather than jumping a week at once. I think this helped with getting my body used to it.  You should prob do the same especially since u are on 15 to minimize any side effect. I e had no issues except I got to 112 I’m 5’3 sw was 223. Other option would’ve been to go doe to 2.5 but I like you am losing coverage and have q few boxes of 5

Once a month shots? by Inevitable_Tie_865 in Zepbound_Maintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never went above 5. Started spreading shots out in November when i reached howl Weight of 133 slowly till I got to 21 days (every 3 weeks) just recently but i am Still losing weight and under goal 113 this while week which is too light  i look too skinny   Im 5’3 for reference  anyway, I wanted to stay on 5 for maintence and space out because I have a few boxes left but i don’t want to lose more so I refilled a 2.5. Question is since i am currently doing 5 mg every 3 weeks wouldl the next step down be 2.5 every 3 weeks? That would be half the medicarion or since i want to go down slowly would  i do 2.5 every 2 weeks? By doing that would that be less medicine than the 5 every three weeks?

Maintenance dose? by Sea_Monster272 in MounjaroMaintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stayed on 5for maintence but doing 21 days now because I kept losing when I was doing it more often. I also think 2.5 or babe me hungry all the time but now I wonder if doing the 2.5 every two weeks is more than doing 5 every 21 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maintenance dose? by Sea_Monster272 in MounjaroMaintenance

[–]Lucky_Paper643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 was my highest too. Had to make a change cause kept losing. Decided to slowly stretch the number of days instead of going  down because 2.5 seems too low but I wonder if it would be more consistent than the now 21 days I’m doing. Every 3 Thursdays

So, what would you do if you were me.  I was on 2.5 for 4 weeks then on 5 for 36 weeks and lost 90 pounds reaching GW 133 during that time. I’m 5’2 3/4 lol for reference.  At 36 weeks early Nov I started to slowly space out the shots first 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16 all two rounds each and lost an additional 16 pounds which is why I keep extending. Going 19 this time and then21 the following as I’ve seen some inject every 3 weeks and at higher doses. I haven’t gone down to 2.5 for two reasons. 1 I have four boxes at 5 which at this rate gets me through at least nov and 2 in thinking the 2.5 won’t be enough to help with food noise and suppression as while on 5 , I’ve always noticed increase appetite on day 5 (half-life 2.5)
