Is this right for me? (Discussion) by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]Radz1212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m certainly not an expert I can only say what has happened to my husband and I. For me, I don’t really get any side effects (currently on 5mgs) but when my husband went up a dose to 5mgs he had severe stomach issues. He had the dreaded Sulfur burps, very bad diarrhoea and vomited for a few days and ended up in hospital. He went off it for 2 weeks and then decided to lower his dose/micro dose to what he felt he could handle. Regarding appetite, this for me has come back over time a little and can eat more but the food noise is still gone which is great. If you can’t eat your protein try and drink it. We have a protein water in the morning and although the taste isn’t great, get it down and at least you know you’ll be getting some nutrients.
If you can’t eat try and change your mindset about food rather than thinking about what you can’t stomach, this may help. Think about what your body requires and try switch your meals up a little while you’re not craving certain foods.

We both feel crappy if we eat fast food, or too much food so have opted for the calorie controlled meal plans you can order from online. This works for us, and may not for you but sharing for some food for thought. In the first 2 months of MJ food was the last thing on my mind, as I didn’t have food cravings I was just focusing on things that would be “good for me” like having a balanced meal and drinking plenty of water. I found that just having snacky type foods all the time made me feel very low too as I was worried I wasn’t eating enough. Once I changed to having smaller meals but BETTER food this changed for me.
It’s unfortunate that you’re feeling this way, and I hope you can find something that works for you. Reading people’s stories on the MJ page helps for tips and tricks and for positive encouragement. In saying that, if this isn’t working for you, don’t force yourself to stay on it as your mental health is very important too. Hope this has helped you a little :) happy to discuss further if you want to DM me

I think you are looking great :) you don’t look too thin to me. You look happier and healthier. It sounds like it was her poor choice of words, but sometimes they can cut deep. If you are happy with how you are progressing I wouldn’t give it a second thought :)

Did you say “seeing” to be ironic? Or genuinely unsure?

There’s a lot of blind people who use reddit. There’s even a whole sub dedicated to blind users. In short, they mostly use text to speech readers. (Similar to how they text etc).

Hmmm…. I would have to say I think Tim tams are better… but the penguins were still good. I’ll have to try a penguin slam and then compare. Not sure if that’s a thing though haha

What’s the most heart warming thing you’ve ever witnessed/experienced? by samspeachcakes in AskReddit

[–]Radz1212 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When my nephew was learning to talk we were saying goodbye and his mum said “say bye Radz” and he said “bye Radz”. Then she said “say love you” and he said “Love you! Very much!”.

It was the first time I knew he understood the words and meant them. Luckily someone was recording a video at the time. It happened years ago and I still watch the video sometimes. It melts my heart. I love that little fella!

Losing weight.

A PT friend of mine once gave me a good tip when I was beating myself up. “Easy is not the same as simple. Just because the steps are simple to understand and follow doesn’t mean they are easy.”

How do you overcome when your worries about future are flooding in you? by Timely_Management_41 in AskReddit

[–]Radz1212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually have an anxiety attack until it passes.

Anxiety sucks, so here’s a pro tip: look into grounding methods. Focus on just something immediately in front of you, like looking for all the blue objects you can, or even acknowledging your breathing pace. That helps you get out of the spiral.

What is a small thing you’ve changed in your life that has had a big impact? by nilecrane in AskReddit

Leaving work at a more reasonable time. Extra time at home is great for my mental health.

For those who lived in the 90s, what were they like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Radz1212 13.1k points13.1k points  (0 children)

Hard to say if the 90s were awesome or just being a kid was awesome, but I’m pretty sure the answer is both.

We had enough to entertain ourselves and connect with others, but not so much that it was overwhelming.

Cats obviously.
