I walk every day now I have been on Mounjaro now my third shot was this Sunday; I have already lost 30 + LBS I only drink water or sugar free Pedialyte for the dehydration that comes with my walks. I am eating rolled oats in the am. baked salmon for lunch and walnuts and apples and 0 sugar yogurt mixed berry and some 1% cottage cheese and I am killing it. I was 356 lbs when I was put on this by my dr. for my sugar going past 280 when I wake before I eat in the morning. Now when I wake my sugar is 95 to 108 when I wake in the first month, I can't wait to see the results after my 4th month! I am so happy depression is leaving my world and I am smiling again thanks to this shot and my long fast as I can go walks! I am recording everything with Fitbit sense 2, and apple watch s8. I am also taking picks of my progression! I pray for each and every one of you to lose this weight and come out feeling great again!!

But since my one in Dec was so good, I anticipate a drastic difference in a year. MJ doesn’t work for everyone. And you MUST view it as a tool you’re using IN ADDITION TO eating healthy and exercising. Do not go into this thinking that it’s weight loss magic or that you just do a shot and all is well. YOU MUST PUT IN THE WORK and have this as a help to what you’re doing. I see so many people boasting about how they don’t feel like eating on MJ. Or that they’re dropping weight drastically every week. These are the same people that will put all their weight back on. They have not used this medication as it was intended. You MUST EAT. And you should not be losing more than 2 lbs a week, if you want the benefits of this med to stay.

[@Daisy-li3eu]

I'm on Week 3 of Mounjaro, and zero effects. This happened when I was on Ozempic and it wasn't until I titrated up to 1mg that I actually felt the fullness that everyone talked about. This is really good info though! One thing is that if any medication causes you constipation - chia seeds (crazy amount of fiber). I put them in my morning/breakfast smoothie (chocolate Kachava, crushed ice, unsweetened vanilla almond milk and PB2 - super yummy). First time in my life I have been regular as clockwork (sorry for the TMI, but hope it helps!!)

[@sjp8024]

I'm on week 6 of 5.0 Mounjaro. People look down on it as a crutch, but I have never felt true "satiety" until I was on this medication. My feeling of being "full" or "satiated" before the medication would lag wayyyy behind so I wouldn't feel it until I already overate. If I stopped short, measuring calories and such, I would stop but still feel hungry. I see this medication as correcting a hormone imbalance, a hunger/satiety imbalance. Heck, even the side effects of slower gastric emptying solved my IBS-D. It's wild how long I've been miserable because of these issues, to be gone in literally the first few days of the medication.

[@sarahtripp1443]

Did your insurance make you try any other prescriptions first before they covered mounjaro?

[@jaeshasway]

@@sarahtripp1443That’s completely dependent on your insurance company and policy, essentially what type of policy your employer provides. My employer paid for a very generous policy. Although I had been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic for many years and had been taking metformin. There was no prior authorization needed when my dr prescribed Mounjaro. They also didn’t question the CGM which I think is a must have on Mounjaro. My insurance policy changed as I think my company wanted to save money. It became more restrictive, i.e. paying for less. Thankfully I still qualified for Mounjaro and my CGM. My copays remained the same and I am able to get a 90 day supply. All you can do is try, but a longterm prediabetic or type 2 diabetes diagnosis with a history of other medications on record at the time it’s prescribed makes it easier. Reason being is many people are going in and getting an initial diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or prediabetic, no other medication and getting the Mounjaro RX. Many insurance companies will not allow it and require other medication regimens first in those cases. It’s an extremely expensive medication. Also a diagnosis of High Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol with type 2 diabetes will also make it easier with insurance. Also if you have a family history of heart disease.

I'm the same - lowest dosage is effective for some, but I think some folks (like me) need to reach the therapeutic level. My doc also said for some that it takes time as well. I'm the type though that needs higher doses of medication - even at dentist - takes forever for the numbing agent to kick in. One additional tip - stay away from alcohol - even a glass of dry wine or 2 may cause you to feel more hungry the next day which may cause overeating followed by the next day "too many carbs" hangover … ughhh.. not worth it.

[@eyesonly4451]

@@sarahtripp1443 Same here. I have insurance through a Blue Cross Blue Shield group plan at work. But BC/BS in my state will not cover Mounjaro. This leaves me paying 100% out of pocket for it. But $1200 per month is better than where the alternative was taking me. They would pay for the others, but they aren't nearly as effective on the weight-loss aspect as Mounjaro. So for me it was just a health based cost/benefit decision. I'm now into by 6th week. And my thoughts are that all of these are aids to help you maintain a keto style diet, which is where type-2 diabetics should be looking. They will not do the work without a change in eating habits. Mounjaro help me stay on the keto diet far better than I could have without it. Also, that $300 per weekly injection is a great incentive to not put that chocolate nugget in my mouth, grab that sweet Starbucks drink, or get that after dinner desert.

I was on ozempic first and all it did was make me want to eat. It was uncontrollable and i gained so much on it. I was also on glimepiride and tresiba with the ozempic. Right now im just on mounjaro and aside from the constant nausea the first 48 hrs, i have very little desire to eat or snack. It's really keeping my blood sugars stay on track as well. My highest reading since taking mounjaro has been 142. Now that the nausea is gone, im excited to see if it helps with my weight as well as my type2.

I started my first injection, which I gave in my thigh, on 09/24/22. On Day 6 and no side effects so far, I feel great and already lost about 3 lbs! I did read a nurse post on Web Md in the comments, that she recommended the thigh as she had weight loss and side effects too! I am not diabetic or pre diabetic, prescribed off label for $25 prescription for one month supply (4 injections). This is the best thing I ever did! I feel great and it could well be because the Mounjaro has reduced my desire for bad snacks and sugar!! Good luck everyone!

You don't need to wait, your doctor can prescribe Mounjaro "off label" and then you can use Lillys $25 savings card to get up to 12 refills for $25 each until July 1st 2023! After that you can go back to Saxendra or Ozempic for maintenance if your insurance does not cover it. People drop 52lbs in that time frame!

Getting ready to begin mounjaro on Monday. Kind of scared. I see the videos of all the side effect- sulfur burping and hair loss and nausea. Just coming off Ozempic which I didn't lose a whole lot. I am Type 2 Diabetic and Hypothyroid. I should probably stay off Google. However, I have heard a few say this is helping them alot so it's worth a shot

[@mariachocolate1463]

I have been on Mounjaro for a few months and am up to 7.5 dose. I definitely notice a big decrease in appetite and cravings for alot of the junk I used to crave alot are almost totally gone. I am diabetic and take both long and short acting insulins and some diabetic meds. I am definitely eating alot less and my A1c has gone down considerably. The only problem seems to be that instead of losing weight, I have actually gained about 20 pounds, from 280 to 300 now😢. The doctor insists that I HAVE TO be eating more than before for me to gain weight. But I REALLY am eating ALOT less because my appetite has really gone down. He doesn't believe me when I say I am eating less. But I used to eat constantly. I would eat all kinds of chips and cookies and cakes and candies and burgers and fries and as much as I wanted everyday, all day. Now I eat twice a day and cannot really eat even half as much as I used to. And I don't crave all the junk anymore, but am still gaining weight. I just started carnivore today. Hopeing that will help move the needle in the right direction. I wonder if it's the insulin making me gain weight even though I am eating alot less. Because I started to gain weight right after I started the insulin. They added the Mounjaro afterwards. So maybe if I wasn't taking Mounjaro, my weight gain would be even higher.

[@janemarx1321]

Very nice presentation for beginners.

[@justjo7282]

Idk but, no one seems to be concerned or talking about any long term effects of this medication. It seems they always find out later, after many people, years later, start having medical issues and by then the damage is done. I jumped on the redux bandwagon in the 90's. A few years later they realized it was causing heart issues. I now have a heart murmur, but no other problems from it. In 2007 I had gastric bypass and it's worked. I reached my goal weight of 135lbs after losing 165lbs and have maintained my weight loss for the last 18 years. BUT, I wasn't told of possible long term effects. About 6 years after my gastric bypass, I had gotten osteoporosis in my 40's. Ive had so many fractures in the last 12 years including 4 separate back fractures, arm, toes, feet, etc. At least 15 fractures. I also have vitamin deficiencies even though I take supplements. So, all I'm saying is that with all these get thin quickly methods all have long term side effects. It might be a matter of time but i have no doubt we'll start hearing the nightmares.

I have been on Mounjaro for two months. I have lost 18 lbs. The first month I experienced no side effects, but when I went up to 5mgs per week I have had the worst stomach pains and bloating. It normally starts around day three after my dose then last for three days. I have adjusted my diet to eating small portions and and using meal replacement shakes. When the pain starts I take a gas-x and normally some pepto along with a warm ginger tea. That helps but the symptoms normally last an hour or two and its pretty bad. I don't know if there is a different medicine I can take to help with the side effects?

It seems that the drug will help me to establish healthier eating habits, ones that should feel satisfying after a certain period of time, and therefore, can aim to stop taking the drug eventually.
