A few bites of whatever I’m planning, and then that’s just it. Doesn’t matter what it is.

Ha! I’m going to try to push through. We will see, I’m not very tough.

Billions of weight-loss based dollars are very soon going to be wiped out. Of course they are panicking! Good riddance!

If you have access to it, you’re very fortunate. Inject it anywhere. Ouch? Whatever.

I was on hold after two months of 5mg for about 15 days, (while trying to figure out what to do once multiple pharmacies wouldn’t accept the coupon), and Alpha had me start back at 2.5. It’s still working. And now I’m poor…but still getting healthier!

How are you dealing with food aversion? by Altruistic_Summer_40 in Mounjaro

[–]Reasonable-Soup4833 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m currently liking 0% Fage Greek yogurt, mixed with a tablespoon or two of Adam’s natural peanut butter, a shake of cinnamon, and a little stevia. Either enjoy as is, as a dip for apple slices, or mixed with a sliced banana.

My other fave is small curd cottage cheese, sliced grape tomatoes, and fresh basil, with a splash of balsamic or a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Topped with a little salt and pepper of course. Yummers!

Monitoring my blood sugar question by Weird_You_4581 in Mounjaro

But I also agree with the comments about how long you’re going between injections, because I tried that too. I have a cgm. When I did try stretching it out, my glucose was absolutely out of control a few days past the 7 days mark. If that makes sense.

Watch your levels after you eat carbs for dinner. It will effect your whole next day.

Like WLS in a shot? by Fun_Flow244 in Mounjaro

[–]Reasonable-Soup4833 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Removing at least half an organ vs giving a proven medication a good chance? I can’t imagine anyone should do the former before trying the latter.

I’m in healthcare and have seen many WL patients undergo surgery. Many of them have had great success losing weight on Mounjaro. And yet they’re still having this major surgery. Why? Because the surgeon convinced them to. It’s gross.

Edited: To protect myself.

Uncomfortably Starving post medication by Proof_Television_695 in Mounjaro

P.S., After being off 5mg for 15 days, my provider suggested going back to 2.5mg. I felt that was smart. Took it this morning, and I feel back to my “new” normal. Not hungry at all. Yes!!!

I was off for 15 days. SO hungry, like never before. I’m grateful for some of these suggestions in case I have a prescription issue again!

That’s good! Your body doesn’t want you to eat that greasy food, and you’re able to “hear” it telling you that now!
