Moving to 2mg weekly from split doses tends to produce a more distinct response peak - the single-dose curve is sharper than the flatter split profile. GI adjustment at the higher single dose is worth watching in the first week or two.

The one-off vomit at 6 months is more common than people admit - usually tied to a specific food texture or eating too fast. Salty and heavy starchy foods are the most reported triggers. It's not the med failing, just a specific combination that the gut is still adjusting to. Keep a mental note...

I didn't change anything at first, but then I decided to lift weights 3x a week. That's about it.

I'm at 2mg right now.

I've never used Wegovy myself, but I've heard some people have side effects. I can't say for sure since I haven't tried it. But I was on Zepbound before Mounjaro, and Mounjaro has been a game-changer. I really love it!

Thanks! You too! I'm down about 28 pounds in 4 months. 🥰

Totally!

I'm coming up on my first year using Ozempic, and it's been a real game changer, for the better. A few things to keep in mind about my sitch: * Main (only) side effect is constipation * Good insurance through work covers nearly all costs * Using it for weight loss, plain and simple * No other...

Right, I agree with you.

Slower but steady is the pattern that holds. Forty over nine months is real progress - belly changes tend to show up later and stick.

Wow, can't believe it's been just over four months and I feel like a new person! The difference is incredible. My doctor wants to bump me up to 5mg, which I think is a good idea because the food cravings are creeping back in and I'm actually feeling hungry on the 2.5mg dose now.

Thanks for the suggestion! I took your advice and measured myself today. Lost an inch off my waist, which is encouraging.

I finished my first month on Mounjaro at 2.5mg and lost 5 pounds during that time. At first, I was a bit disappointed because it didn't seem like much. But it averages to a little over a pound per week, which is a healthy rate, and it was consistent. More importantly, I felt better. My...

I've been taking Mounjaro for three weeks at 2.5mg, and my fourth dose is due today. I haven't experienced any significant side effects, just a bit of nausea on the day of the shot and the day after, along with some constipation that's manageable with fiber. Since it's Ramadan, I'm fasting and...

I had cyclic vomiting when I tried sema. Switched to tirz and found a company that included B12. That has helped a lot!
