For me mounjaro just changed everything about how i move through the day. The appetite thing alone is wild, but its so much more than that. food just doesn't have the same pull it used to and that mental shift has been the biggest thing for me honestly.

For me these intense pulls happen when I'm not eating enough, skipping meals, wrong food types, and/or my digestion tanks. Make sure you're having little balanced meals throughout, being proactive even with suppressed hunger. I used homemade shakes with cottage cheese base at first to get past...

Your mom sounds really cool. You better show her the best deals!

Consistent weight training is key for holding muscle and bone while losing. Protein matters but it's not everything. Used to be fanatic about it pre-glp-1, now I can't stomach as much. Trying to be kind to myself. Still making gym gains.

Insurance won't cover mine but my doc called it into a local compounding place instead. Comes to about $40 a week which I figure I save that in coffee and takeout anyway. Lots of people order from places like Brello or Pomegranate online for about the same.

You're doing it all right but something's missing - diet, exercise, GLP protocol. Have you thought about TRT? Recovery is key. Might be that, not more work, just faster healing.

happened fast for me too. on the 2.5 starter dose i'd get hungrier toward the end of the week, but food noise came back after my next shot. as you go up in dose it gets smoother.

That feeling of getting closer to a normal BMI after being in the obese category for so long hits different. Really good on you.

Hit a plateau on Ozempic since November. Endocrinologist says it's normal after a few months. She's switching me to Mounjaro in June to kick things going again. Just keep talking to your doc about it.

been researching which peptide combo actually holds muscle while dropping fat. tesa looks better for visceral fat than cjc-1295 but it costs way more. seen people stack cjc and ipamorelin for synergy but tesa doesn't always get paired that way. anyone got real experience with this?

food companies will adjust temporarily with smaller portions but think about this — they're evil enough to find a way to neutralize glp-1s. read about it a year ago. we live in a time where companies don't do the right thing. sad.

Update: So I dropped down to 0.25mg after talking with my doc, and food noise is coming back already. I feel like I am constantly thinking about food this week! It's such a change from the last few weeks where I barely thought about it. Anyone else experience food noise returning on a lower dose?

Just thinking about food makes me nauseous. All food. I do like water, though. I might ask my doctor to lower my dose. It took three months to shed around five pounds, and now I've dropped five pounds in A WEEK. That's too fast, I think.

Same here. I'm around 10 weeks in and not craving or enjoying the nutritious stuff I normally eat. Savory dishes, chicken, cheeses, and salads now make me feel sick. Now, I just want simple carbs. Really odd, and I haven't had any stomach issues either. 🤷‍♀️

That's a good idea, Bio_Beer941. It takes some time to get your vitamin D levels up after starting supplements, so it's not a super fast fix, but could be worth looking into.

I am still struggling with energy levels. I also have POTS, and I am wondering if there could be a connection.

I spent 3 months on one medication and gained 6lbs. Switched to another and lost 80lbs in 9 months. Night and day difference between the meds, but calorie tracking really helps. Depending on your weight and mobility, do something to raise your heart rate. I live in a city and bike/walk a lot...

Thanks for the replies, everyone! It's good to know I'm not alone in experiencing these energy fluctuations. ThinTale, that makes sense about the calorie deficit. I'll try to be more mindful of that. Maybe I was a bit too aggressive with my diet changes at the start.

What are you using to track calories, and are you weighing all your food?

I've been using Ozempic for several months and my energy levels have been all over the place. At first, shedding pounds gave me a real boost, but recently it's been inconsistent. Some days I'm up and at 'em, other days I'm dragging and it's hard to stick to my workouts. Has anyone else...
