Hey Kay, it’s good to hear your honesty about your experiences with Mounjaro. Type 2diabetic here, just started MJ, on my 3rd dose Sunday, lost 16 lbs so far, the diarrhea is real, but I’m getting use to the urgency to go, it’s subtle, but when it’s even the slightest, I’m making tracks. I am 68y/o and did every diet on the web. Lose it, gain it back. This time with MJ, I’m eating about 4-6 oz. of lean protein with real vegetables and not a lot of food. Real food, nothing processed. I find I leave food on the plate. NO desserts. Went stone cold on sugar intake about a month before going to the endocrinologist to get my prescription for MJ. Waited 3 weeks before I received my supply. So I know I will not be able to afford the MJ eventually. So I’m training myself how to eat so when that day comes and I’m hoping to stay as slim as possible. From 320 to 304 so far. Diabetic2 for 14 years. The best thing that I do? I police every freaking thing I put into my mouth. It’s the only self control I can follow through with. Forget about the snacks and junk foods. I hope this helps someone. I have went through stages of being overweight all my life. Weighed as much as 425 lbs. I think I’m onto something,?at least it works for me and it could help you too. I bet in your experience as a nurse, you’ve seen bariatric patients gain all their weight back, it’s because they still love to eat. Eat enough to get by, practice eating 2 small meals a day in a 4 to 6 hour window. You will get results if you stick to it and drop the sugars and carbs and sodas. Just my experience that I’m passing on to whoever reads my comment.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Moumjara has been a lifesaver for me. 20 years on Prednisone destroyed my metabolism. There is no way I was going to lose weight solely thru diet and exercise. I've lost 50 lbs in 7 months. My energy level has surged as the weight has dropped off. I'm back to a rigorous exercise regime, which was impossible with all the weight. I'm not diabetic, and the coupon didn't work for me, so I paid full price - and it was worth every penny.
@BoringTroublemaker7 ай бұрын
I’m in the same position. I’ve been on prednisone for 5 years (kidney transplant) and will be on it for the rest of my life and have gained 100lbs - I was already obese to begin with but my weight had been stable for decades. I struggled for the last few years to lose weight on my own and it was virtually impossible. I already have a good diet and exercise 5 days a week. My doctor put me on Ozempic even though I’m not diabetic (and miraculously my insurance covered it, I’m not questioning it) and in the last 2months I’ve already dropped 20lbs and changed nothing.
@NikkiMillerInspirationsАй бұрын
@@BoringTroublemakerI had a heart transplant 3 years ago and have been on Prednisone ever since. Now down to 5mg but I have gained about 70lbs. Was on Ozempic for a year and lost 15lbs the first couple of months and then not much since. So my doctor's wants me to try Mounjaro now. Hope Ozempic continues to work for you and you can gain a healthy body back with medication.

@@NikkiMillerInspirations thank you 🙏 I’m now down 70lbs but the weight loss has slowed a lot. I’m very happy with where I’m at though, even if I didn’t lose another pound. I feel so much better. I really hope mounjaro works better for you. My husband takes it (zepbound) and it’s worked well for him. I’m rooting for you. Even low dose steroids over the long term can (and often does) cause insulin resistance in most people and makes it hard to lose weight. Don’t beat yourself up. You’re already fighting an uphill battle. I know your struggle. Congrats on your transplant!

Don't watch the scale. Watch the tape measure. You will lose inches faster than you will lbs. Your neck, face, thighs & waist will prove it is working when the scale will have you beating yourself up. Don't fall for it. If you're getting tested thru labwork by your physician, you will see that your A1C is coming back into alignment and regulating your liver and pancreas. That's where the real results are.

I'm so happy for you. I just started Wegovy. 3 weeks in and I am just starting to feel a difference in the amount that I eat. Only 3lbs down so far, but it's a start. No side effects so far. I'm also happy that you mentioned the coupon. No one tells people about it on other videos and I was about to do a quick video to help spread the word! I took the coupon to the pharmacy and they had not seen it before. So that means no one is using it!! The pharmacy had a problem processing it because they didn't know how to process it. So I called the Wegovy hotline after I left and they directed me to the reimbursement form and they will reimburse me the copay. The hotline also said next time call them while at the pharmacy and they will tell the pharmacy how to process it. The rep also congratulated me on the insurance and said I should get the 3 mos supply since the copay will now be $0 with the coupon. They will pay up to $225 of your insurance copay as long as it is not a government issued insurance(like medicare, etc.). I'm blessed that my insurance copay is only $25 but they will cover it so I end up paying nothing. God is good!! I have a friend that just started the compounded semaglutide, so I'm happy to have a buddy to do this journey with. I wish you the best on your journey !

Congratulations on your weight loss. I have been on Mounjaro for 285 days. I was losing 2 pounds a week and then suddenly stalled and then regained about 12 pounds. I was shocked. I increased my dosage to 7.5 and I am back down 8. Just curious if you ever stalled on your journey? Dosages are 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5 and 15.0. I had IBS and Mounjaro made me regular I was so happy but I did have some constipation once and it was horrible. I used Miralax and it was better in about 3 days. Some other side effects - I am tired the day I take the injection and the next day and then it goes away. I also have times when I feel cold. It comes and goes and I have learned to just accept it as a side effect. Experienced some burping but again it does not last long. Thanks for your great channel. I also love this medication. The drug is a game changer.

I'm glad you don't have to have that surgery the one thing that people don't realize obviously but don't have a weight loss issue or possibly have never walked in these shoes is it's not all the medicine because an individual still has to do the work to get the goals and maintain their milestone CHANGE. 🙌🏽 Even if an individual has surgery, that's not an easy process. Real work starts after the surgery. And that's another story. It's unfortunate that these medications are marked up so high that some people that need it.

I have a cup of cousins and a niece who have been taking Wegovy also. The high dose is the one that's been on backorder. The lower dosage was always available. In a few cases I'm familiar with, it's not even about the person having a vain attitude but improving their health and making their levels be normal with diet, exercise, and a weight loss medication for assistance for pre-diabetes or whatever their situation is.

This medication is a game changer in the battle to correct a glitchy A1C problem. I'm on it and am reaping the rewards of it. Praise God😭

Quick question; you mentioned comorbidities as a dangerous combination with this drug and thyroid issues was one of the diseases you mentioned. I have Graves Disease, but was told by my primary doctor that this particular condition wasn't a problem. Should I get a second opinion? It's well controlled, and I know my weight compounds the problem. Not worth damaging my health though.

Comorbidities were NOT stated to be a dangerous combination….it just makes the weight loss difficult or come at a slower rate (in speaking with other patients) because other medications may be taken for those said comorbidities……if your doctor says it’s controlled then you need to go with whatever your licensed provider advises….ALL STATEMENTS ARE FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES AND IS NOT TO BE TAKEN AS MEDICAL ADVICE….I may be a nurse, but it isn’t my scope of practice to diagnose and treat health conditions

I'm on week 5 starting the 5mg dose...recently diagnosed Type II Diabetic... lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks on the 2.5 dose... Changed my diet completely and am getting better at making exercise a priority. I've had an ok experience, but for the 1st two days after the shot.. It makes me 'go' A LOT... 😂😂... smh... But I haven't had any too bad side effects as a result so far...and my A1C is improving...

In my very first month taking 2.5 mgs per week with strict keto and cardio I lost a whopping 42pounds! My family Doctor Who prescribed this medicine was astonished! So there’s a high probability that there are a lot of people that will be extremely responsive and sensitive to the medication so keep that in mind!! My doctor shared with me, the dangers of losing too much weight too fast, so I probably won’t be doing that again …

Hi. Thanks for watching. Short answer: YES, one can take Mounjaro or any GLP-1 with hypertension and diabetes. These meds do not DIRECTLY affect your blood pressure but rather the systems that regulate it. In turn you lose weight (although not guaranteed) and reduce your cardiovascular risks….as always, it is advisable to consult with your doctor to find the solution that works for you! 😊

You should put a head phone warning just before your intro hits, just about blew my ear drums out. Your mic volume is too low and that music was WAY too high. On that note I'm on week 3 of zepbound I've lost about 10 lbs so far. The appetite impression is pretty crazy. Only side effect is first few days after a higher dose or starting the medicine you get indigestion since you have food sitting in your digestive track for a lot longer. Also a lot of gas. But other then that no issues. Feel great. 247 down to 237 now. I walk 5-10k steps a day and work out hard at the gym once a week doing weights and cardio.

Hello, I come from Germany and thank you for your video. Please excuse me, I have to write everything with a translator as I don't speak your language well. Here in Germany everyone is going crazy. Doctors, media - everyone. The mood is not good regarding Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro. Wegovy is hardly available here anymore and is always sold out in pharmacies. Ozempic has not been available in pharmacies for months. That's why the mood is so bad - it is seen as a lifestyle drug and people with obesity take the drug away from others. People like Elon Musk and Kardashin who "promote" it ensure that the media rejects the drug. My doctor is good and I've been taking Mounjaro for 2 weeks now. Mounjaro is not yet available as a pen in Germany. You have to draw it up into a syringe yourself. There is only Wegovy and Ozempic as a pen, but as I said, it is almost never available. How much does Mounjaro cost you? Here it costs 260 euros for 4 weeks, or about 280 dollars. I've heard it's very, very expensive in the US.
