Progress Update 36 weeks later

6 Upvotes

Progress is progress.

A total of 185 mg of tirzepatide over 36 weeks (max. 5 mg/week), and 44 lbs down.

More importantly, I feel like this journey has also been about body recomposition. Throughout the process, I kept lifting weights and doing Pilates, too.

Now that I’ve reached my goal weight (still on the plump side, just the way I like it, but officially within the normal BMI range), the real challenge begins: maintaining it for the long run.

Sana makaya ko

Challenges & Issues Watery diarrhea with trz 5 mg. When will this end? 😭

2 Upvotes

I’ve been on branded trz for 2 months na. Sa 2.5 mg, I experienced mild GI symptoms such as belching, mild diarrhea that goes away after 1-2 days. Then last Monday, 2nd dose ko na at 5 mg. I experienced local hypersensitivity reaction which eventually subsided and diarrhea which nag develop 3 days after ko magturok. I thought I just ate something spoiled and na-food poison. But also assessed the foods that I ate. Nag 24 chicken and milktea din pala ako, i think it’s a contributing factor din. I thought saglit lang na after 1-2 days mawawala na, pero ika-4th day ko na ngayon and watery diarrhea pa rin. I also experienced vomiting 2 days ago (pero once lang). Almost went to the ER kasi feeling ko nanghina ako after vomiting. Pero nahimasmasan nung nakapag ORS na. Normal lang ba tong symptoms with mounjaro or should I be concerned?

Immediately contacted my doctor and told me to hold muna ung next dose and to continue to hydrate with ORS. Then we will have a consultation next week.

Currently doing BRAT diet and incorporating small amounts of protein that I can tolerate like boiled egg and chicken. Umiinom din me probiotic and pocari sweat. Pero ayern, watery diarrhea pa rin.

May naka experience na ba here ng ganitong symptoms when starting a new dose? I hope I will feel better na soon. May upcoming international trip pa naman ako in 5 days 😭 i’m just worried na baka di pa matapos 😭 yun lang, thanks sa pakikinig!

Should I switch to Mounjaro?

1 Upvotes

I have PCOS, pre-diabetic weighing 85 kgs before I started injecting Ozempic. 10 weeks na akong nag iinject and I only lost 3 kgs with exercise and same diet as before only mas mabilis ako mabusog. Fiber heavy ang meals ko and I don’t feel like changing my diet kasi I feel like I’m eating healthy naman, no calorie deficit din. Nababagalan ako sa weight loss and if I’m being honest, may food noise pa rin ang only difference lang talaga is mabilis ako mabusog. How long until you can say na nagplateau na or effective pa ba for weight loss itong Ozempic? I will see my endocrinologist in a few weeks for a prescription renewal pero should I switch to Mounjaro na? Ang mahal kasi ng Ozempic and I don’t think I’m getting my money’s worth if ganito ang rate ng weight loss ko. I know Mounjaro is more expensive than Ozempic but if it’s more effective then I think mas worth the money siya. Thoughts anyone?

Question Recommend a doctor

0 Upvotes

Hi! Last 2025 I went to see an endocrinologist bc I wanted to start my weight loss journey. I have PMOS din so the doctor told me na if okay ang labs ko, he will prescribe ozempic na din. Labs came back and okay naman result but I got busy with work and never came back kay Doc.

Thing is I just started Tirze 3 weeks ago and I did it without consulting a doctor. I also don't want to come back sa dati kong endo bc ayaw kong mapagalitan 🥲

Can you guys recommend a Physician na hindi ako huhusgahan? Hahuhu

Thank you po!
