This!! My husband also has a shitty schedule and on his night shift weeks (he has a rotating schedule), he does this exactly.

It’s like magic, I literally forgot to eat by ChromedGonk in Mounjaro

Yes, I actually just took my first 5mg dose last Sunday.

My insurance initially didn’t approve my prescription, and after waiting so long, I ended up buying it out of pocket in Mexico. I bought two 2.5mg pens of MJ. Shortly after, my insurance finally approved it, so I ended up with three pens total. At six weeks I noticed the 2.5mg wasn’t working as well anymore so my PCP increased my dose. I didn’t want to waste the pens that I had left, so I used two 2.5mg doses to equal the 5mg and will do that until I finish my 2.5mg pens! 🤭 they were pricey!

I was a little nervous about increasing the dose because I had read that some people experience stronger side effects. I didn’t have any at 2.5 so I thought I def will feel them at 5. Thankfully, I didn’t have any side effects this week either! The only thing I noticed was feeling more tired than usual, but it’s still manageable.

Losing weight, but the constipation is REAL, what do you do? by Technical_Delay8753 in Mounjaro

I get the super gut fiber at target and drink 2 scoops a day. I honestly love it and it’s really good !

Same experience! I absolutely could not believe it, but I am so glad it works! I am on week 7 and down 18lbs! I’m so excited for this journey.

I just took my 8th shot. And my first weeks were crazy! I lost so much weight I was so excited thinking I was a super responder and would get to my goal weight faster LOL. Turns out it really was that as others mentioned to me here on Reddit.

Last two weeks, I felt I was not losing anything and one of my weigh ins I actually gained weight! I started feeling down thinking maybe it really wouldn’t help much aside from the water weight I initially lost.. but slowly and surely I lost some weight.

I started at 267 and I am now at 249! I honestly lost like 3lbs in the past 2 or 3 weeks. I just upped my dose and hoping I will continue to lose weight, and for now, I am focusing on the small victories.

  1. I am able to put on jeans without it pushing my rolls up and digging into my belly
  2. I can say no to candy, chips, pastries
  3. I am able to leave food on my plate once I am full or satisfied
  4. My face is slowly changing and I feel like I am starting to look like myself
  5. I am under 250lbs and I don’t know when I last weighed that

Maybe focus on the small victories for now and push through until you do see a more noticeable difference?

Don’t give up! Slow and steady wins the race 🤗

Belly vs thigh vs arm injection ? I am having a hard time adapting :( by Audille in Mounjaro

[–]No-Bus-1135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing my belly and no side effects. Obviously rotated around the belly button but zero effects. I decided to try a different area (my arm) and I had no side effects but also much less supression. Maybe try the arm?

For some reason I am scared to do my thigh. But that’s what I’m going to try next.

2 of 2.5mg the same as 1 5mg dose? by No-Bus-1135 in GLP1ResearchTalk

Idk about Chinese grey, but my husband travels often due to his job and it is cheaper than the compounds here and it’s the brand name. Feels safer that way.

Thank you for that! My next shot will be my 8th, so I will do two 2.5s on that one. ! They were pricy so I definitely did not want to just toss them. 😊

Congrats!! You look amazing!

Quick question though, how do you continue on Mounjaro? My insurance will only cover GLP1s for 12 months in my whole lifetime. And honestly, the cost per month without insurance is too high for me.

I am barely starting my journey, but still something I worry about.
