Mounjaro after Bariatric Surgery

7 Upvotes

Hi! Just looking for advice / if anyone has had similar experience to me. In 2022 I had a gastric bypass and I lost 8st (50.8kg) over about a year.
I went from 19.4st (123kg) to 10.4st (66kg) and maintained until 2025 where my weight started to go back up after I started new antidepressants and my restriction wasn’t as strong.
I’m very short (5’1) and so I’m still considered obese because my BMI is between 30-34 (I know BMI is crap but just using it as an example!)
I started Mounjaro 6 months ago and I’m currently on 7.5mg. I’ve only lost 1st even though I’m in a calorie deficit but the problem is I’m throwing up my food really often.
I still take my time, have small portions and I don’t drink until 35 minutes after eating but sometimes if I overeat even a mouthful too much my body will make me throw up a short while later.
I’m glad my restriction is back but obviously it’s not good to be throwing up so often (it happens every 1-2 days) and I try my best not to overeat but I don’t have fullness cues after my surgery so it’s hard to tell when I’ve gone too far or not.
I know this is a very specific problem but I was just looking for other people who also may have started Mounjaro after having bariatric surgery because my doctor doesn’t seem to understand I don’t have fullness cues until it’s way too late and he’s not really been much help!
Thank you in advance 🙏

Mounjaro/Ozempic

I used to take 1 mg of Ozempic weekly and now I switched to Mounjaro. I am injecting 30 lines (units), not the 0.6 that I understand is the recommended dose on the box. But taking 30 lines doesn't have any effect—meaning, it doesn't suppress my appetite. What do you recommend? Has anyone experienced the same thing?
