I was still hungry on mounjarno 0.50. I'm on the 0.75 . I was happy with this dose I wasn't able to get this drug either until my doctor called my pharmacy and said I had to have it because I'm a diabetic. The pharmacy puts in a order every week but they never get what they order, they get 10. I do get my mounjarno know. I took ozempic for 2 years and lost 50 pounds but ozempic made me sick on any dose, mounjarno has been great for me.

I actually did think listening to your daughter was pretty funny 😂 I think you should go up to 7.5 if you can.

I was on ozempic for 2 years, and I lost 50 pounds, but I was sick for 2 years. I told my doctor I was done and couldn't take it anymore. My doctor said I would gain all my weight back, and it would be horrible for my diabetes. So I'm on Monjourno started out on 0.25. I couldn't tell I was on anything, and I was starving. So, the 2nd month, I was on .05 it was better, but I was hungry. 3rd week I'm on 0.75 and my food cravings are gone I'm not sick, I can eat but very little. The only side effect I have is that I'm tired. This drug is so much better than ozempic.

Good to hear from you! I've heard that the weighted vest really bares down on your shoulders so I got a weighted belt. It's an adjustable one that let's you add and subtract the weights. I like that not only can i wear it for my treadmill, but I can use it doing daily chores. I've just started this week so we will see! 😊

Not telling you what to do at all but I have RA as well and was on methotrexate and Humira for 11 years and lots of prednisone which ended up making me a diabetic since it spikes your blood sugar so much. I got sicker and sicker and was on 17 meds total at the end and ended up at 303lbs. 5 years ago I changed my diet to only meat, eggs, veggies and have reversed the diabetes and put my RA into remission. I am not on any meds now except that I started Mounjaro on March 6th of this year because I still have weight to lose but my CRP went down from 265 to where it is now at under 4. One thing I will warn you about is that I would gain about 6lbs every time I took my Humira shot but it would come off on its own in a few days to a week. I just don’t want you to be discouraged if you see that. Just keep doing what you are doing and all will be well.
@KeepItTogetherAmy3 ай бұрын
Thank you for sharing your experience with RA! 💓 I been discouraged and knowing that Humira might up my weight is frustrating, but I'd much rather have my pain and inflammation under control so I can be more active than not. Thanks for the info!

Hi. I'm Debbie I've been on Ozempic for 2 years and I've been sick for 2 years I was afraid to tell my doctor as he might take me off of it I got by with Zofran and smelling rubbing alcohol. Lost 40 pounds the hard way, I just couldn't take it anymore and told my Dr. He put me on mounjarno it's been 2 weeks haven't been sick on the .05 dose at all but I'm hungry. I guess I'm going to move to a higher dose because I'm a type two diabetic and I need my sugar cravings to go away.

Keep up the great work. I have learned a lot about gut health and for me, water ‘cycles’ ( when I drink water during the day) has helped with gastro side effects. If I maintain a basic schedule of every couple (1-2) hours water intake (1-2 cups of water or even a diet product), I’ve been fairly regular and feel much better. Have learned where my troubles have been and by fixing them, weight is coming off slowly. I was 290 in January and now 266. I was off the meds for 2 weeks and the diet change kept me reducing at a slower pace but still felt good. Thanks for the videos, they are inspirational!

The not exercising for a week will make your legs swell. That quickly.Yes , that little lack of activity that we take for granted helps with circulation. Every day is a danger when someone has that much weight on them . And at the same time the soda is very bad I find that big people are always surprise.D at just how awful they are when it comes to their lifestyle choices and admitting that those lifestyle choices have caused their current condition. Every day meeting those healthy goals.Creates a macro picture of success or non success. ❤

I discovered from an ultrasound of my abdomen I have Gallstones I'm not sure if it is a side effect or caused from this medication I also have been going to a nutritionist since January. My nutritionist and I will get a game plan for my gallstones going forward. Maybe in place of eating fish just take fish oil supplements? I definitely would ask your nutritionist if that could be a good substitute. Do you like tuna fish?. Take magnesium supplements for constipation I've heard from other U tubers who are on this medication but there are like over 5-7 different kinds of magnesium so definitely do your research. Great video, thank you for the update. I couldn't find 7.5 for over 3 weeks. But with my Gallstones I'm going to take a break from the shots to save money and with the help of my nutritionist I've been walking and definitely increased my water intake and drink protein shakes plus 1 meal a day. I'm down 40 pounds since January.

For cake substitute I do a no sugar peanut butter and skinny girl jam on a low carb flatbread. All found at Walmart. Cream cheese on low carb flat bread while the family eats bagels. Also low carb tortillas for pizza. Using a low sugar/carb pizza sauce. Real cheese. It’s like cheating but not cheating. I can’t get your mounjaro with my insurance but have been having good luck with berberine and metformin. 27 lbs so far in 7 months. Much more subtle though. I still get food noise. Not so bad though.

Took 4th shot today. I learned that when my weight stalls, my body is still changing with exercise. My clothes were looser during that time and the fat around my back, previously thick, is looser. Also noticing bp is lower. I’m very sensitive to meds, so I’m hoping for some loss about 1-2 lbs over the next days and discuss maybe staying at 2.5. I’m down 11 lbs so far. Thanks for the videos, they have encouraged me a lot!

Great videos! I started a month ago and a lot of your experiences are the same as mine. I have noticed the desire to increase walking and movement is very similar to yours. I have had some off days, with minimal desire to move or eat, but at least weight does not spike like before. I’ve always been a walker but it’s the food intake after work and at night that I am aware of now and fixing. These small steps are adding up to slow weight loss. I’m down about 8 lbs now. I’ve developed a routine for food, not snacking when I get home, etc. This video showed the change in your positivity on the weight loss and the steps to get to a lower weight. My doc also warned me that to not feel bad if there are stalls and fluctuations, they are the body adjusting. I have to be patient. Thanks for making these videos, they encourage me further that I’m doing the right things as you are.
