Pre diabetic, Insulin resistance, Obese, high blood pressure. Start weight was 219.5pds Sept 26th. Now 13 weeks in 2nd round on 5mg down 36.1 pds. Weighing 183.4 as of Dec 21st. Doctor kept me on 2.5mg for 2 months. I wanted to do another round on 5mg because it kills my appetite so much I force myself to eat so I wanted to give my body more time before going up to 7.5mg. Only eat 20 grams of carbs, veggies, protein, & 3 liters of water Minimun a day. Weight & numbers finally going in the right direction. Happy mounjaro was created & my doctor prescribed. I'm doing the work & Mounjaro is assisting. Prevention & good health is my goal.

Hi! I love your videos. You are so reassuring and your voice is comforting (not to be weird). I have been on Mounjaro for 7 weeks. My a1c is 6 and I was 194 pounds. My endocrinologist prescribed it for weight loss and to lower my a1c and to get out of the prediabetic range. Insurance denied, as expected, but CVS accepted the coupon from the manufacturer. I have not been diagnosed with Type II, so it is viewed as a weight loss tool. Did a month at 2.5mg then three weeks so far on 5mg. I have lost 17 pounds!I will see my endocrinologist in two months to check a1c level. Mounjaro is amazing. It freakishly makes me not think of food. I am not hungry much at all. And after a couple of bites, my stomach says I am full, which is so weird. So I am eating appreciably less food and I don’t obsess about food now. My plan is to stay at 5mg until I see doc. Then I might bump up the dosage. But my side effects are occasional constipation, and nausea which weirdly hits my at night. Just slight nausea, like you kind of feel meh but not enough to throw up. And I can handle this. It is so weird to look at the Halloween candy and not want to eat it. That has never happened in my life. I hope this medicine gets approved for weight loss. It is a disruptor in the industry and can help so many people. Keep up your informative videos!

Thank you so much for this encouraging message!! I’m so happy it has been working so well for you! Our mounjaro reps were in the office last week and I was asking about the weight loss indication and they are actively working on it. I’m hoping the insurance coverage and FDA weight loss approval come asap! I’m just so thankful for the coupon right now! Keep up the awesome work

I’ve lost 7lbs in two weeks with my starter dose 2.5mg. I love this drug and feeling full right away when I eat. I no longer have a feeling of snacking and feel full for most of the day. I consume less than half of what I used to eat. I eat fairly healthy and dealt with an injury that prevented me from walking for a few years. I’m excited to start moving again and wished I started this drug earlier.

Congrats with the weight loss. I also have a injury, sciatica with back surgery in 2013.. horrible pain almost constant Since then I've gained 60 lbs. There's a lot of exercises I can't do.. I started maunjouro 9 weeks ago and lost 15 lbs. I've changed my diet but I haven't started walking yet. I want to lose about 10-15 more before I start so less weight for my back to have to carry. I'm slowly but steadily trying to gain my life and health back.

@@everydaymedicinewithwhitne4425 Big update so far! I'm down 40lbs since August of 2022. Currently on 7.5mg and tolerating it very well. I've been able to continue working with my physical therapist to gain strength and can now walk over a mile a day. The weight loss and metabolic changes to my body have made a profound impact to my wellbeing.

Just started Mounjaro a week ago. No weight loss yet, but I am definitely full faster. I’m not craving the sugar like I did before. No bad side effects as of yet. I can already see my blood sugars going down. A1C was 6.9 before starting Mounjaro. I’m anxious to see what this medication does. I had to stop the Ozempic because of the side effects. These videos are very informative! Thank you!

Today's my first day. I'm looking at all the videos I can find about this med. I like all the information you are giving in yours. My A1C was waaaay out of whack at my doctor's yesterday so he prescribed Mounjaro for me. I plan to take your healthy eating ideas to heart and hope I'm one who avoids the harsher side effects. I've started a journal to keep track of what I'm doing. Starting weight is 238.4 and I very much look forward to dropping the poundage down into the 150s which I haven't seen in decades.

Do you think that one should stay on 2.5 mg for a few months if they are still losing as opposed to automatically going to 5mg after 4 weeks?

@everydaymedicinewithwhitne44252 жыл бұрын
They are still actively studying it but right now I have my patients tapering back down slowly and that has worked well. It is safe to stay on long term as well especially for my diabetic patients because the weight loss will plateau but the glucose control will stay just as effective.

Thanks for the excellent info! I'm on week 3 mounjaro feeling good, down 7lbs so far. Can you please talk about getting to and staying on a maintenance dosage? I am excited to go up to 5mg soon and can I stay on that for 8 weeks or longer or should I definitely increase up to 7mg and so on? Dosage and determining a maintenance dose as it seems this is a med that we need to stay on independently. Thanks for sharing all the great info you give.

Thanks for the videos! I just took my 4th injection of 2.5. Next week I start 5.0. I’m only down 5.5 pounds since beginning. But, 4 years ago. Lost 78 pounds and was then stalled at 202 - 205 for 3 years! I was sick of it so I asked my dr for Mounjaro. I’m also logging food/calories and started a Pilates journey. I’m now stalled at 198.5. It’s ridiculous. Even if I weigh 3 times during the day it stays at 198.5. I’m sticking to 1200 calories a day and usually end up under by 200-300 calories. I’m wondering if that’s the problem but scared/don’t want to eat more.
@everydaymedicinewithwhitne44252 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for the comment! I would definitely try to be eating those 1200 calories in small meals throughout the day but definitely no less then 1000 calories. I think you will really start seeing the effects at the 5 mg dose and more as you increase. The 2.5 dose is just to get your body use to the medicine but we don’t see a lot of weight loss at that dose. Hang in there!!

@@everydaymedicinewithwhitne4425 thank you!! This morning I broke through the 198.5 to 196.8. This helps my mental outlook greatly! I don’t need to see a loss everyday but I do like to/need to see that scale move even if it’s slightly. I will try to get those 1200 calories in somehow. Thanks for the response!
