I started mounjaro 2 weeks ago, I have lost 18 pounds already, my blood sugar dropped from 482 to 170-245. I am in horrible pain but I feel better otherwise. Nurse suggested I might be dehydrated and try drinking more water and Gatorade. I have been drinking propel and water more and I still hurt but maybe need to add magnesium and potassium for more benefits. I definitely don't want to eat, I added up my food journal and I didn't eat 3000 calories in 3 days. I have so much weight to lose and getting my health back. You are such a inspiration and my husband is also a truck driver but OTR or flatbed, he says it has abused his old body until its impossible to do now for him. Keep up your great work

So excited for you, you've done so great!! My first week of 5mg I lost 3.2!!! I have lost 2.2lbs per MONTH for the last 7 months so 3.2 in a week is AH-mazing! Even 4 weeks on 2.5 got me 2.6. I'm down 5.6lbs for the month of August, most of that number this week but I'm taking it! I couldn't be more thrilled with this. I tried the strawberry fluff this week and it's a bit sweet for my taste so it's my third favorite 😄 for me it goes lime/orange/strawberry. Different tastes makes the world go round, right? I'm glad you gave my lime a chance. Your nails are FIRE!! How did you even do that? I'm impressed. They look fabulous, you look fabulous and that chicken pot pie also looking tasty!

Welcome to the channel, Valerie! Ozempic only goes up to 2mg dosage. I'm currently on Mounjaro which goes up to 15mg. I was previously on Wegovy (the weightloss version of Ozempic) and had great success with it but couldn't afford it once the coupon ran out... so here we are on this Mounjaro journey. I'm hoping for the same kind of success once I reach the higher doses. 🥰 I love to hear about y'alls success so let me know how it goes for you on Ozempic!!

@mindypweightloss

Жыл бұрын

Hey Rebecca. I know it can be so frustrating but know that everyone's journey is different. Because 2.5mg is considered a loading dose not everyone loses and most that do have A LOT to lose (even after losing 85lbs I have over 100 to go). Are you using anything other than the scale to measure your progress? If you aren't already I HIGHLY recommend taking pictures and measurements at a minimum to make sure the number on the scale isn't the only thing you have to look at. There have been months where I've lost VERY little or even gained but I've lost inches. Don't be too hard on yourself. 🥰

@@mindypweightloss I don't track calories. If I start trying to count calories or carbs or fat grams I get psycho and obsessed. It's the reason Weight Watchers never worked for me because all I do is freak out over the numbers. I do know that I am eating much less than what I typically do. And while I don't have the perfect diet I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and very minimal fast food. I know my diet alone would never cause significant weight loss but I was hoping because I've been eating less that it would start. I also quit drinking diet soda and have been drinking mainly water some tea. Breads are definitely my downfall

@@Rivkah_of_the_Remnant I totally get the obsessiveness of it all. It's why I meal plan. I know how many calories in the meals I'm making and I just copy paste. It's also why I tend to eat out at the same places... I already know what I'm getting myself into. That being said... without tracking I wouldn't know how to judge how much I'm eating because when I don't track I eat mindlessly. Less so on Mounjaro... but it's a pattern for me. I know there are some apps out there that allow you to track by taking pictures of what you eat instead of tracking calories... it's just another way to hold yourself accountable. 🤷‍♀️

Hey Mer, Unless he/she can give you a medical reason (it would react with another medication / thyroid cancer runs in your family, etc) then I would get a second opinion. I've had to fire 3 doctors since I started this journey last October to find someone who was willing to let me guide my own treatment. You have to advocate for yourself... they may very well not feel comfortable prescribing off label but the reality is that Tirzepatide WILL be available for weight loss under a different name extremely soon (once the trial completes and the FDA approves it) just as Wegovy was for Ozempic.
