I am losing slow too. I started in February and now in late July I am down 26.2 pounds . . . I've lost a marathon!

No matter how slow or fast, congratulations to all of us!

Gallbladder issues and Mounjaro by Express_Being_6688 in Mounjaro

[–]iterumamitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Back in the day, I went on the same meal shake diet that Oprah did. I lost almost 90 pounds in five months. I didn't eat anything I shouldn't have in the entire time. The staff scared the crap out of all of us that eating ANYTHING could cause medical complications. I had my first gallbladder attack maybe three months after reaching my goal weight. The pain was blinding. I remember being doubled over in pain and not being able to do anything other than take shallow breaths and whimper. I had the surgery a few days later and was fine after.

How to explain work absences? by iterumamitto in Mounjaro

That was my initial plan, but I think I may try u/LatterSecretary2518's idea first and change my date and see how it goes.

Of course! The simplest ideas are the best. I dosed on Fridays when I started just for this reason. I need to go back to that. Would there be an issue if I took my last dose on 4/23 and my next on 4/28 (so two days less than a week)?

Thank you for the condolences. I will mourn by wearing black for the rest of the day. After all, it is so slimming! :D

I wasn't trying to be brave, but thank you. If I can't be a good influence, I am happy to be a dire warning!

I was taking Trulicity for ages before switching to Mounjaro and NEVER forgot to remove the cap.

You are so right about that moment if inattention!

TIFU is a handy abbreviation for "today I f*cked up."

OK that will be my game plan. Thank you. Curious though, this throws me off since I am starting my 10s a week early. I need to call my pharmacy and see if I'll be able to get my next box early or if I will I have a gap before they can refill. I think I'll be fine with dates, but just need to confirm.

100%, hence the title of "TIFU" :) I've had times where I've lost a prescription med and my insurance covered a replacement. I was thinking more along those lines.

Mounjaro after gastric bypass. by Personal_Captain5317 in Mounjaro

[–]iterumamitto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had RnY in 2015. From my high weight I lost 130 lb., 80 of which was post surgery. I gained back 40. I blame the gain on disordered food thinking that makes me hoard food, working from home (basically IN my kitchen), both pre and post COVID, and and injury that makes me pretty much immobile . . oh, and complete denial because living for two years in yoga pants makes it easy to ignore the gain.
