So far, I've had pretty mild side effects. A little nausea sometimes, but nothing too bad. Mostly just feeling fuller faster, which I guess is the point!

Thanks everyone for the support! It really helps to keep me motivated. I'll keep you all updated on how the dosage increase goes.

Hey everyone. I'm dealing with type 2 diabetes and my doc put me on medication, mainly to get my blood sugar under control but also to help with weight. I've been eating better too, and since April I've managed to drop about 60 pounds. I started at 370, now I'm around 310. Still got a ways to...

Fantastic!

Wow, you look great! Where did those years disappear to? Congrats!

Incredible progress! If you don't mind sharing, what's the small dose you're on, and did you experience any side effects?

You looked great before and after! 🥰

Compounding pharmacies have different concentrations of tirzepatide. I've used two different ones, and the first had two different strengths. The second one adjusted the mg of tirz in each mL, so you always inject 50 units no matter the dosage.

The half-life for tirzepatide is about 5 days. Doesn't matter who makes it. It can vary a little between people though.

To answer a couple of questions: [@QuirkyKing] My tattoos have actually held up pretty well. There’s a little bit of distortion, but nothing major. I've been using lotion religiously. [@CarbDone] I think 10mg was my sweet spot. I felt the most effective appetite suppression without too many...

So true. For years I refused to let anyone photograph me or video chat with me. You go!

Please excuse the messy room! I can't believe it's been a year since I began my Mounjaro journey. It's incredible how far I've come. I didn't take many before pictures because I was so unhappy with my appearance. I remember being diagnosed with T2D last year and the shame and worry I felt...

Damn, wish I got some kinda energy boost... maybe I should up my dose? lol

I don't refrigerate mine, and it still works great when I inject – 100mg into the muscle every other day. I frickin' love NAD+!!!

It's only been like 10-12 pounds for me.

We had a slight cold snap here, and I was freezing too. I wanted to stay in bed all day under the covers. That's not normal for me. It was 53 degrees, and I was wearing a sweater and still wanted a jacket.

Lucky you! I'm always hot. I keep my place like an icebox most of the year.

Thanks, Jayne! You and Weezie do a great job keeping this forum under control. It's a great place for support.

What kind of stomach issues did you experience before? Like, diarrhea or what?
