The issue is that many people want an instant fix and have little patience. Also, ignorance runs rampant! Thanks for your insight, sense of humor and wisdom, P.S. I am an RN and appreciate your videos! I m also on compounded semaglutide..lost 45 libs... 5 to go!

I’m good till 2 days before shot day. I load up on protein all week. I’m not starving but am definitely hungrier. That’s life. We all get hungry.

I agree that this is probably the reason why Lilly is not releasing the vials in the United States. The US lives in a sue happy culture and they don’t want there to be some lawsuit because someone decided to change up their dosage that resulted in detrimental issues.

Hi Ally, I’m only 3 weeks into Mounjaro and have found great success so far. I previously was a severe diabetic so I started on Keto and lost my weight and was normal with blood sugars. I went off keto 3 years ago gained it all back and my diabetes is returning. I started the shots 3 weeks ago and I do contribute my success so far with I know how to eat healthy. I wanted to thank you because I really wasn’t aware of how alcohol effected my weight loss. I can speak from experience that it slowed my weight loss way down for 3 days. So I won’t be doing that again. So glad I found your channel

Very helpful advice. I liked how you said that if appetite suppression wanes before the next dose, one should practice self discipline and work through that for a day or two using what one learned so far with the changes that one made in life style and proper feeding patterns. Well said! Excellent advice.

What you say makes so much good sense! The trouble is that we the patients are fast proving to know more about these meds than our general practitioners do. So while it’s good form socially and legally safe to let our family physicians make these critical calls around dosing etc, if we want to make it through these incredibly difficult transitions in the safest way possible, we need to rely on the collective knowledge of our hive. ❤ Please never forget that these are the same medical professionals who-only a few short years ago-scolded us roundly for our inability to push our chairs away from the table. The deck has been stacked against us all along. Our family doctors are only just this minute coming to grips with the idea that they had it all wrong.

Hi Ally, thank you for your content! I've noticed that stress causes me to feel hungrier, but increasing my protein, electrolytes and water intake help tremendously. Meal prep has been a saving grace for me also. When i dont have my healthy meals and snacks on hand it can lead to stress eating the wrong things. Be encouraged friends, give yourself grace and take things day by day. You're doing a good job and making progress- even if it's slow.

It truly is scary how much disordered eating and diet culture there is in our society., and this is reflected in the support groups. While I am a member of several GLP 1 support groups I have to be REALLY careful as to which posts I even read due to my history of eating disorder. I also do my own research and it is scary how some people clearly don’t even read Mounjaro instructions and then ask the groups for everything. They can so easily get bad advice. It also relates to the video you did about people sharing “my friends say I’m losing too much weight”. You were right that we have to be careful what we say. I also worry about people with active anorexia abusing these meds.

Hi again Ali. My appetite suppression wears off near day 6 or 7, and I just ride the wave!! It gives me the opportunity to put my good habits and food choices in place! Thanks for all your help … WE are doing this together girl! Let kick some serious butt this month lol !! ❤️🤍💙

Totally agree. Also these people need to learn how to deal with their hunger/appetite in a healthy way. You don't want your appetite suppressed on a continual basis.

I’m so glad I subscribed. You are the voice of reason. I love the way you are to the point & at the same time compassionate💖

Thank you for saying this and your right. You really spoke to me on this one. I needed this little talk. ❤

Your can of green beans tip is golden! love Italian green beans and had not had them in years. I bought them and am so stoked to have them as a go to for fullness. I like them with a dash of wine vinegar or just mixed in with my meal. ❤

Omg you are correct I had to reevaluate my eating and I can say I was not eating enough protein.

Great video; thanks!

Thank you for the info. 😊

Your videos are so thought out and realistic, thank you!

Great advice. ❤

This was perfect for me today…thank you! Thanks for the support.☺️

You are amazing! Love your vlogs and your research.

Your video is so good and educational, thank you

You are 💯 correct!! 😊❤💪🦩

Green beans are great😁💕

Totally agree, however my insurance forced me to titrate up after 3 months of 2.5 and I’m assuming that will be the case for each level dose which is a real bummer.

Thanks Ally! I think I'll try that green beans trick!

I go up to 5, this coming Saturday I'm little nervous. Maybe I am just over thinking

I dont think thats the case with the vials, the vials are 4 single dose and can only be used 1 time, compound is one vial and can be micro dosed. The pens are being abused already. They would abuse it either way.

Great points! I am still on a lower dose but am already starting to worry about how I will deal with the appetite and food noise when I acclimate to the highest dose. On day 5 of each week when I start to get a little bit of the noise back I get nervous, but if I think about these days as an exercise in willpower training me for when I will need to do this with little help from my meds, It makes me feel better. Thank you!

I agree with this. I didn’t know how much I overate until the medicine helped me control my portions. If for some reason I can’t take this medicine it in the future I have a much better idea of what my plate should look like. Also what real hunger means versus what coping hunger is.

That can of green beans may have a lot of salt and make you more hungry unless you rinse them cutting it in half. Some experience people on compound have split the week dose to help the last days of the week.

I never heard. Of splitting your dose every one different I take ozempic I have no side effects.❤every one is different .❤

I think that changing the injection site my help with the appetite suppression. I know that if I inject in my abdomen or upper thigh, I have more appetite suppression.

🧡🧡

Dont forget the cost 1300 per month and the insurance wont pay for more.

Please do not play around with your dosing! Thanks for reminding me people that is NOT good!! Come on people. Help yourselves!!!!

I’m on 1mg on ozempic and I noticed now being on week 3, that my suppression is still going and I have to push my injection day two days later 🤔

I tried rubbing the shot site to be sure all meds are used or help to.I start day 3 and I read that it can take 8 to 72 hrs for full med effect.

No offence, but you can do this easily in other markets where we have the multidose pens. The main reason for the separate pens is they can justify a higher price. If some people are injecting every six instead of every seven days, its on them and realistically there isn’t much that can be done to prevent how something is used once in the hands of patients.

I agree that this is part of the reason why Lilly won’t release the vials. I also worry that people are doing this with compound meds, which could lead to Lilly winning the fight against compounding.
