Only side effect i get is heartburn and i get it during the night when im sleeping on the first night. I take my shots on Tuesdays at 9am. Should i change the timing on when i take it to avoid the heartburn that first night because thats the only time it happens. The rest of the days and nights im fine.

A big additional thing to mention when talking about switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide is… many ppl who’ve been on both report that the appetite suppression feels DIFFERENT between the two meds. 💡 On Tirzepatide, the ‘food noise’ seems turned down more than compared to Sema. You’re not thinking about food all the time as much. Tirz seems to be very much ‘of the brain’. 🧠 Though you definitely do get all the ‘stomach stuff’… you feel full more quickly when eating, and you have slower gastric emptying. And that ‘stomach stuff’ seems to be where Sema shines. You may think about food more, you are kinda hungry sometimes… but when you sit down to *eat,* the fullness comes on quite strongly, perhaps stronger than Tirz (though everybody’s different, and YMMV). These kinds of distinctions may be especially important for folks with certain kinds of eating disorders. Excessive ‘food noise’, for instance, may panic or trigger you. 😢

Thanks for the helpful advice. ⏮️⏪🐾🐶🐩more Kevin please ❤️

Ali I got my lab results. A1C down. Liver enzymes normal now. As my Dr said today all my Labs are Stable. Thank you for your advice and thank mounjaro.

You are the best. I appreciate your style and excellent communication skills I’ve been on the medication for one year and have lost almost 70 lbs My goal is around 10 lbs more but I’ll decide when I get there My question is once I reach goal and all my labs are normal, will the insurance company still pay for it? I plan to take it forever for maintenance Thanks for all you do!

A couple of co-workers said they were worried about me. Pressured me to not lose weight while those people had fatty liver, heart, smoking and hormone issues they refused to address. One of them was even a lead RD against GLP-1. In the past of course no one was concerned about me gaining 60 pounds in a year.

Barbells are great due to whey protein instead of a soy. I love them.

Hope you're feeling better soon, dear person.

I have a hard time with beans. I am almost on a carnivore diet. Lots of whole milk good quality cheese, pork, steak and seafood. I do have a small apple daily. I cut out protein shakes. So so weird that this finally fixed my bowel habits. I feel amazing and my labs are fixed.

Hey Allie My switch from Ozempic after 3 to mounjaro 5 was life changing! No side effects no food noise. My weightloss went to 2 pounds at first and now at 1pound a week after 8 months. 8 pounds from gw of 116. I'm 5'2 so that's cool.

aww Kevin seems so sweet! What a handsome big boy he is ❤ Love your channel btw! So Informative.

🧡🧡

Thanks this is why I love channel.thanks❤ that’s why if I switch I may get side effects.i could go up to a dose on ozempic I am on 1 now

Technically taking it every 6 days if you factor in half life you are on 14% more drugs per week .

I was on Wegovy was very nauseous. Zepbound now and I have few side effects maybe muscle aches. I’m still at 2.5 starting does. Down 15 pounds in 40 days but I can gain 5 pounds easy if I eat poorly. So I need to work with the medicine.

Thanks those are some good highlights and just like many other meds when you change rx your body has to adapt to a new system and you judge the reaction and adjust dosage like you pointed out.

I would love to come on the journey for the ride, if only they could keep Wegovy in stock. 😢

Ali, my husband is on Mounjaro 5.0 and this is his first injection. He took it on Sunday night, and for the past two days he has been really sick. Yesterday was terrible nausea, today is terrible diarrhea. I really feel sorry for him. He is ready to quit completely. The 2.5 has worked for him for a long time, but it stopped being effective. I encourage hydration, which he has done, but I don’t know if he can keep going. Any tips?

I take my injections on Friday after work because of the side effects. Diaherra and exhaustion. 😮 By Monday, Im feeling better.

I do Friday night for side effects at work and it's harder to control diet on the weekend

I lost over 70# on Mounjaro but now the prior auth is not getting done. I am now gaining back the weight. I have a commercial plan and paid $550 for my last box of Mounjaro 15mg.. so is paying 550 for 60mg total a good price??

I also take my injection on Fridays after work. My only side effect is I get tired. Last for two days then I am back to normal..

I started on Monday. It doesn't really hit me until 24-36 hours after the shot. Initially, Monday worked well for me because I work from home and any GI issues are always better at home. The problem I found is that once I get used to the dose my appetite suppression really starts reducing 1-2 days before my next shot. The weekends have always been my binge days in the past and it made it really harder to eat healthy. Now I do Wednesday and it gives me the heaviest appetite suppression on the weekend, which is when I really need it. I think this is gonna be my schedule from here on out. 🙂

I thinking of switching to mounjaro from ozempic❤

I have had very minimal side effects. I’m on 12.5mg now. I take my shots on Tuesdays since it’s best for my lifestyle and I can do concessions, restaurants, barbecues, etc on weekends. I WFH, so it’s easier to control what I eat on Mondays (my hungriest day).

I take mine on Mondays . I cant tell you how many diets i started on Monday. I am sure the Saturday and Sunday before I treated as Mardi Gras LOL. I like Mondays I get a fresh start every week and it keeps me focused. I am lucky have had minimal side effects . I work for myself so i work all all hours of day and night including weekends . I still get a nap in most days so that helps me. I know a lot of people like Fridays because weekends are the hardest for them which make good sense.

Thank you, I wanted to change my shot day to 1 day earlier and was about to ask seems I feel worse on day 2 and 3 so doing it on Friday I would be better by Monday

🧡🧡

I did noticed where I take my shot makes a difference like abdomen vs thigh. My problem is eating I'm at the low dose. Nothing sounds good oh except watermelon or organic peanut butter that's jupeanuts grinder to peanut butter nothing else added. I'm trying g the protein shakes . And I'm not really losing weight😢

My significant other knows, we both use it 😂 ❤

It like what happens with us bariatric patients, dumping syndrome, it horrible and scarey

I’m on some glp-1 message boards and some women have shared that their husbands constantly try to undermine them, sabotage them, mock their efforts etc. ideally everyone would have a wonderful supportive partner, but sadly there are some abusive people out there.

I couldn't imagine not having my husbands support on this journey. He gives me my shot every week. My heart hurts for the person who doesn't feel like they can tell their partner.

Hey Ali! Two things. For me, my husband and I share finances and the cost is not something you can hide and 2. Even though it is not necessary, I enjoy the support of my spouse during the good and bad times. So sorry everyone doesn’t have this type relationship. Married 35 years. I feel for spouses who can not share this journey either their significant other. Be safe!

Why would anyone hide that fact on their spouse I have Leukemia I tell anyone who would listen this is bull crap

Kevin says, “MOMMA... I chew the walls when I have anxiety .... wanna tryyit?!”

I live alone but told my sons, who are my emergency contacts. Also told a neighbor, who knows if my car doesn't move, to check on me.

My husband, kids and mother all know that I am taking Mounjaro, and they are very supportive. My husband read the information insert so he is aware of side effects, and he has looked into symptoms of Type 2 diabetes in case I should any signs of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. I can’t imagine having my husband walk out on me over medication.

I am not telling anyone as of now...my spouse is naturalist..he believes in herb..and doesn't really adhere to western meds. Now, I communicate that im on a high protein diet..after watching these videos on side effects..I try to eat careful as possible. I am explaining in small dose...I have pcos, along with obstructive sleep apnea..explaining that it harder for me to lose weight..i explained the food noise...I really have to slow walk him..if you know your partner..you have to how to read the room. I have food allergies so..that is a plus because he knows if I eats the wrong thing i get sick...he has just noticed my 15lb weight loss this morning..i find it amazing that this is your topic. I will eventually tell him..but right now..I will continue educating him on obesity and eating disorders..BTW I am explaining this to my other family members as well. My husband would have tried to talk me out of it...he would blame the drug if i sneezed🙄 If i had crazy side affects that were to unbearable..I would tell him. Right now..im ok ..knock on wood 🪵

I didn't tell my husband until I had the prescription in hand. I just knew if I told him before I got the meds, he would try to talk me out of taking them. To be clear, he is a sounding board and not my boss! He couldn't be mad when I told him but had several concerns about the long term effects of GLP1s. Now every time there is some article about the bad effects of GLP1s, he brings it up. Every time I complain about any physical ailment, like fatigue or ingestion, it has to be the meds. It's obviously in our refrigerator which he can see it but I do leave the room to do my injections. My husband is a worrywart and that can be a hassle but you gotta tell the other adult people in your household. So, I get not wanting any pushback. But that just seems like a lot of effort to keep secret when you live in the same household.

Can you, please please please. Talk about the Glp-1 medications stigma and shaming? I work at the hospital as a PCT and I told a doctor who I was covering that I’m taking mounjaro, and she said you should not lose weight because of the loose skin you would look better being overweight with no loose skin than be skinny with loose skin :/!! She also was rambling and saying that everyone could lose weight but people who use it lack will power 😅 she honestly made me so angry and upset because of how close minded she was. Like people don’t care about any medication you would take and the side effects but somehow theu care for you, because it changes your appearance and make you look better? Please talk about it I dont see enough people covering this topic Much appreciated ❤

My husband asked me how much I had lost in 2 weeks and I informed him that it was 6lb, he thought I would have lost more…. I had to explain to him that it is not a miracle injection that it takes time.

As a therapist who works with all kinds of people in all kinds of relationships where people are not safe from their partners, I can agree that being open is ideal, but not always a safe option. Sometimes people don’t want their partners to feel more powerful in their own skin. And when that happens, it can be dangerous in ways unrelated to medication side effects

Should there be any privacy issues in marriages?

My husband knows

My hubby knows and is supportive. He has traveled over a hour to get my meds twice when I couldn't find my dosage . I am down 56 pounds

I am very lucky my husband is very supportive🥰!! We were at the doctors office together when my doctor asked me if I would like to try Mounjaro. I looked at my husband and he looked at me and he said whatever you want to do I’m behind you 💯% ! And like you said Ali it’s very important to be honest with your significant other so in case something goes wrong they will have the information to give to medical staff. Have a good day Ali and thank you very much for your wonderful support group and your wonderful videos 🥰!!!

If she hast left thr house in 4yrs, how is she affording this, through his insurance? No wonder his made.

Awesome information.. Yes the step therapies on the non GLP can be constipation, diarrhea, lab values and even that weight loss/A1C has not changed.

I don't get that at all. I understand people keeping it from others in general, but a spouse? This is a sign of something deeper in the relationship. I hope this person is in a safe situation.
