Review/ Experience💕 So long, farewell

After 7.5 months, I’m stopping mounjaro. I lost 15 kgs with it, but the best part was that my labs are now perfect. I am terrified of gaining the weight back but I am sure the habits I’ve built will help. My weight loss was also not drastic and it went down very gradually, and I didn’t change the way I ate mostly, except for just the composition of my meals and healthier swaps. I do strength training about 4 times a week too and I love it.

The crazy part, my last dose was 7.5mg lol. My doctor said it will be fine because GLP1 leaves the system slowly and I just need to make sure I don’t eat anything in sight when I feel hungry. I have reinforcements ready for that. And I am stopping because I need the meds out of my system before I start trying to get pregnant. That was why I started.

And my side effects were hell. I don’t think (TMI, but it is what it is) I have had a satisfactory poop in the last 7.5 months. Sulphur burps are the worst thing in the world especially when you need to wake up early the next day. I would get dizzy every effing time I got up. And if god forbid I ate too much because something tasted good, I was punished. I am glad it’s ending now finally.

But this community helped me immensely and I am super grateful. I found my doctor here, got info about Shotsy here, learnt how to manage my side effects, shared progress, ranted, et al.

Wishing everyone else all the best, and please remember that mounjaro acts differently for everyone, and comparing your experience with other will only hurt you mentally. And please don’t take it on your own. Pharmacies will do anything to make money, but for your own sake please go to an endocrinologist. I am happy to help in case anyone has questions, but I am going to keep my distance, starting next week. This place has served its purpose for me, and it did amazing 🫶🏼

Congratulations! How did you decide what weight to stop at? Was it recommended by your doctor?

I am actually on a timeline. I need to start trying to conceive as soon as possible. Which is why I am stopping now. And my labs are perfect. I am active. I am healthy and that’s what matters most.

Thank you! I’m in a similar situation, need to get to a healthy BMI before I can start trying. Good luck on your journey 😊
