After being on Mounjaro for over 18 months, we all talk about the goodness of it…but we hardly ever hear about the other side of the medication!

Y’all, I cannot cover the pathophysiology of diabetes and Mounjaro in the amount of time I cover other topics along with my personal experience…I just give a small blanket overview. However, there there are many video on YT that covers this! I wish everyone well on their Mounjaro journey

I've been on Monjauro for 7 months and I haven't had indigestion. I have had periodic nausea at night. Probably 3 times where I slept with a bowl next to my bed. I havent had the sulphur burps but they sound awful. I haven't gone above 5mg's tho so that might be why. I LOVE this medication. Some months I only lose 2 pounds but the next month I will lose 12 pounds. I have lost a total of 47 pounds now and I feel amazing! I cant wait to see where I'm at on my one year date!

Girl the sulphur burps are embarrassing. Do what works for you weather you move up or stay at the same 5mg. You’ve done great so far with the weight you’ve lost. Keep going

Thank you for your video. I'm going to start tomorrow on the .25 mg it is helpful to understand what to expect and weigh the pros and cons overall. I just know for me I've lost a lot of weight over 100 lbs. However this last year the weight is slowly creeping back on, and I'm still doing all the healthy things I was doing before including weight watchers and getting on average 7000-10000 steps per day. 😩 Likely I do have central hypothyroid due to I have a goiter with normal labs which makes figuring out what the problem is very difficult. I know I've done all I know how, I need my body to work with me, and hopefully, this will help. 🤞🤞🤞Thanks again. 💛💙💛

A diet called Greysheet where you use a digital food scale for every meal could help you stay consistent if your weight gets higher than you prefer. I think it's the best diet because it's predictable weight loss.

I think many people who get pancreas issues on the meds are diabetics. And since pancreas problems (that's where insulin is made) cause diabetes, it's probably not a side effect of the meds but a diabetes issue.

It can be a contributory factor. Thanks for your input

When did you start Mj? What dose are you on? I started Apr 2023. My loss is so slow. I lose a pound gain pound 🥴. I wish I could get closer to that 199. I have not seen that number in a long long time.

Hi. I started 9/23/22. I’m on 12.5mg. Plateaus happen to me also. I’ll dance around a 5 pound weight gain or loss. Then reweigh after some time and find myself losing 10 pounds. Best of luck in meeting your goals.

@WOMENONFIREMINISTRIES-e2j 2 ай бұрын

I am now on 5mg as of yesterday. But the total amount of weight I lost on 2.5mg was 10. But I gained 5 back. Because I did go out of town and I didn’t eat like I was suppose too that was my fault. But thank God I didn’t gain all ten back. But now I am on 5mg so we will see how it goes which I am sure it will be good

Hello Nurse Kay, did I understand/hear that taking anti-diarrhea should NOT be taken? What should I do if this occurs as I'm due to start my injection on Sunday and I wanted to be prepared for the possible side effects.

Stay hydrated. Replace what’s lost with electrolytes.

I find physicians only know how to write a prescription, don’t know anything about nutrition or side affects of medication unless the patient experiences them.

Hi Kay, i am T2D and have been on MJ for nearly a year. I have plateaud at 10mg, which I have been on for 7 months. My doctor will not increase my dosage. Do you have any recommendations?

@nursekaypea 4 ай бұрын

Has your doctor indicated why they are not changing the dose? Sometimes we may need to change our providers if they are not doing what’s best for the patient.
