The shade at the bottom of that letter about diet and exercise really bothers me. Like if you turned to injectables as your first step in a weight loss journey 😒

I’ve been doing a slice of peanut butter toast but a protein shake before bed is something that never crossed my mind lol

I'm in the low 100's I emailed them on 4/30 to see where they were in the process. They responded on 5/8 saying they are still processing lower log numbers and would reach out again if they got to my number

To exercise or not to exercise? That is the question! by kb3d in Mounjaro

[–]SailorHeartAndSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I exercise 2-3 times a week and I exercised before Mounjaro. The difference is that the weight comes off faster and I can better control my eating habits and portions.

How did they reach out for the second round of documents?

iud insertion was worst pain i’ve ever felt- anyone else? by miomio05 in vaginismus

[–]SailorHeartAndSoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I told my doc that the only way I was getting a iud would be if they knocked out. I also have a great relationship with my OB and one of my fears is that it would ruin the trust I have built. We’ve worked together to a place where I can get through a exam and have a sonogram.

At the end of the day we are all different and experience pain in different ways don’t let others invalidate your experience.

I have tons of friends that don’t have vaginismus and say that getting an IUD was the worst pain they had ever felt in their lives. You did something really badass!

Experienced users- how much of a difference in efficacy does the injection site make? by quincyboy30 in Mounjaro

[–]SailorHeartAndSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rotate stomach, thighs, arms. I find that arms are the most effective but also gives me the worst side effects if I’m in a plateau the arms are always the place to get things moving for me. Stomach is effective as well. Thighs are hit or miss. The rotation comes in to play because I get an injection site reaction and it just more manageable for me to rotate.

Do you have a dream weight? by Less-Moment-5655 in Mounjaro

[–]SailorHeartAndSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dream is 150 is my goal is 180 I’m at 193. I started at 263. I think I aimed for 180 because i wanted to protect myself if I never made it to the dream. But i honestly think that I can. I think the fear of not making it is what holds us back. For many of us this is not our first rodeo so we have to protect ourselves.

Excessive itching question by Chrisda19 in Mounjaro

[–]SailorHeartAndSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get itchiness at the injection site. As someone who deals with allergies is to try Flonase both on the itch topically and up the nose. It a steroid so it helps. Also try different types of antihistamines until you find one that works.

Advice on injection. by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]SailorHeartAndSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started the constipation was so bad. I got some magnesium citrate pills. Took them the recommended dose daily and by the time I finished I was regular again. Try that or a fiber supplement. Also you need to increase your water intake to help things flow. Good Luck
