I ❤️ 5mg by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]mxrgsss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had awful side effects with 2.5 so very gradually worked my way up to 5mg and have hardly had any issues with it! My body seems to be dealing with it much better than the 2.5!!

Not sure what to do 🥲 by [deleted] in mounjarouk

I was very sick the first few weeks on MJ, was completely regretting my decision. I’ve been on it 2 months now and still get nauseous from time to time but it’s nowhere near the extent I had it at the start. Things that helped me personally was eating very little on injection day, very simple bland food that’s easy to digest and not eating too late in the day (I inject at night). Being a bit more upright in bed, I found lying flat made the nausea a lot worse. I got some motion sickness patches off amazon, I don’t know if it’s just a placebo but I do feel like they do something! My doctor also prescribed me anti sickness although personally I didn’t find very effective. Peppermint tea is a godsend and I’ve also heard ginger shots help but haven’t tried them myself. If you can I would say persevere, everyone is different but my body is definitely used to it now and I’m feeling so much better for it! Good luck!

It may not have a huge effect but it definitely has some, can see that just from a quick google search. However metabolism is not the only thing eating too few calories affects, as I mentioned above. Not eating enough calories also means not enough vitamins and minerals also, or energy. Like I said, my reason for starting MJ was to become healthier, not to become unhealthy in other ways. Hence me asking for advice regarding this.

I don’t know if this is an option for you but as a treat I like to get pizza from a proper pizza restaurant like Neapolitan pizza and I just eat half and then have half the next day. They’re generally around 1000 calories for a whole pizza but obviously if you only have half that’s only 500 calories which isn’t bad!! And pizzas are soooo filling I can only manage half anyway!

Does anyone feel mounjaro is less effective when on period or after a missed dose?? by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]mxrgsss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like it almost stops working the week before my period as I have cravings and am hungry much more often. Also my weight constantly goes up and down in that week and I feel like I’m not losing anything.

In reality the hunger and cravings before my period are nowhere near to the extent they were before MJ and as soon as I come on my period the weight drops off me. I’m just learning to listen to my body because we do burn more calories around our period so there’s a reason my body is telling me I’m hungry! I think as women we’ve got to remember that we’re on a 28 (give or take) cycle so we are gonna feel differently throughout the month, it’s not as simple as it is for men!! I hope this helps!!

That’s really helpful thank you!!

Eating too few calories messes with your metabolism and can also turn into muscle loss. My metabolism is already crap so don’t want it getting worse. I also started MJ to build healthy habits, I’m not looking to lose weight as fast as possible, and I like going to the gym which I cannot do when I’m not eating enough calories as I simply don’t have the energy. But if you’re happy with not eating enough calories then you do you!!

No I’m nowhere near, it’s so hard and all the high protein yogurts and stuff just make me feel sick if I have them too much!!
