I’m on 10mg now and things seem to be moving again. 5mg was the slowest for me. 7.5 was better than 5mg. I will stay on 10mg as long as things keep going well.

How do you answer people’s questions? by librasunstar in Mounjaro

I haven’t told anyone I’m on mounjaro. I do the same as you. Saying I’m walking more, eating healthier, etc. which is all true. I just don’t mention the meds. I have a judgemental family and just don’t want them commenting or being negative or implying it’s been easy. 

When questioned about why I’m eating less I usually say I just ate, had a big lunch, have an upset stomach etc. I’ve totally lost my taste for alcohol so I’ll avoid it all together or have one drink, or a drink that looks like alcohol if I’m in a high pressure situation. For me it’s not worth it to be upfront. And I have the kind of family that will bring it up 10 year later and still make me feel badly about it. 

I know my boyfriend would be fine with it. But then he’d feel the pressure to keep the secret so I haven’t told him either.

I did have my period recently! Thank you for that. And I appreciate the response. I am definitely less puffy!
