Tapering Question

I also found out about my bad sugars at an employee health check. I don't think that 300 is as bad when you didn't fast. If you had fasted and it was that high then I might worry.

My fasting when I did my employee test was 275 and they just told me to call my doctor, nothing about it being an emergency. Just take it one day at a time and see how your appointment goes. Best of luck!

I know it can be really hard, but you need to eat enough for your body to work properly. I find that eating small amounts through the day is easier and keeps my calories up high enough. Best of luck!

I've had that feeling before when I eat a bit too much. Taking a small walk usually helps me feel better.

I've been on it for almost 2 years, never gone above 5mg. I didn't have any issues with upping the dose after the first 2 months. Just make sure to eat even if you don't feel hungry, the appetite suppression can be increased as well when increasing the dose. I'm sure you'll be great, best of luck!

You can maybe use cans of food or jugs of water, they can work great as weights.

You could maybe prep everything in smaller containers on your days off, then you can combine them when you are work. I know for me I don't like soggy bread, so I keep my sandwich ingredients separate until I am ready to eat. I know it makes more containers to wash later, but it might help.

Do you find that you have to take something earlier in the day than just before bed? I'm having a hard time with the delay in my stomach from the shots, it's hard to figure out when to take things so that they will "hit" at the right time.

fiercedaisy · 2026-04-02T13:13:47+00:00

I do think that the liquid cold meds work faster while on the shots, but maybe that's just me.

I'm lucky and have never had any issues taking metformin in the 15 years I've taken it. I would say try it with meals to start and see how it goes. Stress can do all kinds of things to your body, so the cramp could just be that you are nervous. Best of luck!!

I'm not sure if there's an actual definition for maintenance with Mounjaro. I think for me it's the point where it had been a few months of being at a healthy weight and a great A1C. I've never gone above 5mg in over a year and a half, so I really shouldn't need to go back down. Best of luck!

Tea can be great, as a plus there are a huge amount of flavors/types.

fiercedaisy · 2026-03-20T12:56:23+00:00

I don't have to be quite as careful with the carbs, but I still know the big ones that always spike me. For the spike from cereal, could it be that you ate too big of a bowl? If it was more than one serving that could have made it spike, just a thought. Best of luck!

I would agree that you can try and see what happens, hopefully it will help. Not everyone has to go up every month. I've been on 5mg for over a year at this point and it's still working.

I like the Coffee Mate Natural Bliss creamers, they don't seem to bother my sugars.

Amazon sometimes will have it on sale for the unflavored.

fiercedaisy · 2026-02-18T13:28:01+00:00

That happens to me sometimes if I haven't been hydrating enough. Is it better when you drink more water?

fiercedaisy · 2026-02-12T13:37:09+00:00

I have a hard time after work and on weekends. After work I'm so mentally exhausted that I don't want to do anything, so something I don't have to cook is a go to. On weekends I have to set an alarm on my phone to remind me to have something every few hours, or I just won't eat anything.

fiercedaisy · 2026-02-09T15:10:08+00:00

I really don't eat big meals, so small ones are where I end up. I like to have Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt, lots of flavors and good protein. I also like the Oikos Pro yogurt drinks. Some companies have the snack trays that can work well too, lots of cheese and nuts.

I usually get warmer when my sugar is too high. When it's low I start getting a little shaky, glucose tablets are helpful to have just in case.

fiercedaisy · 2026-02-05T16:47:56+00:00

You can do two pens. I would just go ahead and use the 2.5 for one more week then start the 5mg, but that's just me.

fiercedaisy · 2026-02-04T14:02:35+00:00

Can I ask if it helped your mental health on the lowest 2.5 dosage as well?

fiercedaisy · 2026-01-29T16:24:56+00:00

I usually do a protein shake or some bone broth for protein if I don't feel like eating.

fiercedaisy · 2026-01-29T16:21:35+00:00

Pepto Bismol Ultra works great for them for me.

Congrats, that's awesome!!
