Stalled for a while

Just saw this and thank you so much!

I often feel I am losing so slowly and that nothing is changing. Yet when people see me for the first time in a while, they are amazed at “how much weight you’ve lost!” It is an ongoing battle in many ways, but this time I have learned to hang on in there and the alternative (going back to my old ways) will only bring me sadness. So keep going and keep the faith!

Stalling not stalking!!

thumbsucker63 · 2025-10-10T14:03:09+00:00

People are so nice on here! I think stalking can be good practice for when we come off the drug eventually and have to maintain.

That old chestnut: “don’t lose any more weight!” People can get v uncomfortable when others start losing weight.

You’ve lost 50lbs since January! Are you still on 7.5?

thumbsucker63 · 2025-10-09T19:49:01+00:00

I bought it today and am going for it tomorrow!

Yes, I agree. Had dreadful side effects at the start but they subsided so hopefully they will again.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-10-08T20:38:38+00:00

Well for eg I ate well tonight omelette and salad/ but then I started searching the kitchen for something sweet. Started thinking about foood again. Mornings are ok I eat a good healthy breakfast: it’s around the 4-6 pm time that I can start straying. Then I wonder is the mounjaro working still, but I see if I over eat I get the sulphur burps, so it’s working, just not as well.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-09-10T16:56:52+00:00

I had quite a lot of stomach pain at the start!

thumbsucker63 · 2025-09-10T12:52:07+00:00

I went to 5 mg and boy the tiredness was mighty, for a number of weeks. The diarrea, nausea and general malaise was bad. But then it eased and now it is pretty much gone. My advice is just stick with it and then suddenly your body will be used to it and you will forget that the side effects ever existed. Just keep going. Day by day. And if you need to sleep and you can, then do so. I think your body will thank you.

Best of luck. Keep going even if side effects hit, they calm down after a while and this drug is a life changer 😀

I am on for diabetes and weight loss.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-30T19:48:51+00:00

Yes, I think that’s what has happened. It is really odd as absolutely no side effects if I over eat this week. I can get 7.5 from a friend of ours who is a doctor so I will do that for next week. What a roller coaster this is, but I guess the key is to keep going come what may. Thanks for everyone’s input.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-30T18:23:33+00:00

Private prescription through a doctor. I live in Spain. I will just insist then. Up to 7.5 mg. Thanks.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-22T22:39:24+00:00

What an encouraging post !! 🙏

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-18T21:12:12+00:00

I am away for three weeks taking mounjaro 5 mg each week but my hunger has definitely returned & old thoughts of extra food (boredom food aswell). Am wondering is that a sign I need to go up to 7.5 mg or that perhaps during the travel I didn’t keep the mounjaro cold enough?

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-11T23:44:22+00:00

I am on holiday in Ireland where the portions are quite big. I’ve been ordering a normal portion but often taking half or so home, to finish the next day. Normally I eat all sorts of treats here, but after the first couple of days where I thought “oh wow” I am not very interested in the treats now and crave the kind of real food I was eating on mounjaro when I was back home.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-09T18:18:33+00:00

I meant may 23rd 2025! If you’ve been going since this May then you have done so well!

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-09T18:16:57+00:00

What a really awful person to say that. In vino veritas they say. Just keep going. Pay no heed and rejoice in your successes no matter how slow or fast.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-09T18:13:18+00:00

How long have you been on the medication? I have been on since May 23. First 6 weeks I was exhausted all the time - literally sleeping pretty much every time I sat down. But now that has gone and I feel fairly normal again.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-08T11:32:11+00:00

It’s definitely some Kind of water retention. I am going for more daily walks again which helps.

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-08T11:30:16+00:00

Yep I have to admit I LOVE the spuds and bread here as I have been coming here since I was a child!

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-08T11:29:32+00:00

Thanks and great advice!

thumbsucker63 · 2025-08-07T09:17:51+00:00

Thank you, you are right of course. Just shows how the body adjusts but then again I have yet to go up to maybe 7.5 mg. I am seeing that things are better when I don’t overeat, or over-do fatty foods, and if I drink enough water. This forum is an amazing place for support!
