OMG, thank you, thank you. My doctor put me on this shot to replace other diabetic meds. I didn't think anything about it. Week 1 and 2 I felt like my stomach was shredded and the idea of food made me nauseous so i barely ate anything for the first 3 days after a shot. On my 3rd dose, I had exactly what you described for a full 3 days straight. I finally did some research and found you. You saved my sanity and made me start thinking of this as a weight loss drug rather than a diabetes one. It took me all week to recover. I talked to my doctor, and he said to try one more week with some changes to my diet. I am happy🎉to report that week 4 I have no side effects. Thank you for putting this out there, I would never have taken another shot if it weren't for your honest and positive videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you for being transparent, it’s necessary. The doctors should share more about side effects. I had to invest in sleeping on depends in fear I couldn’t make it to the bathroom in time. I think support groups are necessary while on these injections for the first time.
I’ve been on mounjaro for six weeks now I’m on 5mgs,so far I’ve only lost 3lbs despite following the plan,my blood sugars have came down,what am I doing wrong
I’m not even on the meds, but I am working on my relationship with food.. so I found you on RUclips. You have a gift for speaking, explaining, encouraging, presenting info. AWESOME! Keep it up - really enjoy your channel!! 👏🏼👏🏼
This is such a helpful video. I am on blood pressure meds as well ( week 1 of mounjaro ) with glass shower doors that face me. Pre-prepping suggestions are FANTASTIC. Thank you
Ive been on Mounjaro for four months now. i've lost 42lbs and feel great. My appetite is way less and when I eat I get full quickly. I started on 2.5 and moved on to 5. I have had none of the the side affects that people complain about. I'm on blood pressure meds, metformine etc without any issues. My a1c is regularly 5.9 to 6.0, I no longer take Humalog and very low amount of Lantus. Mounjaro has changed my life. the flip side is that being obese has many many disastrous consequences.
Hi everyone here from Texas plse serious note asking as very concern from my health I was prescribed Monjuro bt Iam terrified too used it cuz I suffer from sever chemical Ashma when I smell those things ND rapid heart beat ND too am scared of get d jittery i know I sound nuts by honestly it all truth gbs everyone in this journey thanx
Oh my gosh that's scary! I take blood pressure meds and live by myself, definitely need to think of a plan. Glad you are ok and thanks for the heads up.
Thank you for sharing your story. I stopped eating red meat 1 years prior to knowing Mounjaro existed. I think that helped minimize my side effects. However, I have noticed different side effects per injection site. Stomach makes me constipated. Thigh gives me loose stools. Arm gives me migraines and a slight pain in my glutes. All of this was with 2.5 and subsided after 4 weeks.
Very informative video. I am beginning week 9 tmrw on Mounjaro. I have experienced violent vomiting on 4 occasions. Like you, I quickly realized meat was going to be problematic especially ground hamburger. I too related the small amount of food intake and digestive issues to the stories from gastric bypass patients. I am keeping heavier meals, if you can call them that, strictly for lunch and keeping it light for dinner which most of the time consists of a protein shake. I absolutely agree chewing your food many times seems to help. I have lost 11 lbs so far, but more than anything it’s helped with my daily sugar readings which have dropped from over 300 to 150 as of this morning. Good luck to you on this journey. I will definitely be tuning back in for more advice.
I have been on mounjaro for a year. I have lost almost 90 lbs. the only reaction I have ever had is slight itching on the injection site. It’s been great for my weight loss, also my A1c has gone from 7.9 to 6.5. Also the highest dose I have been on is 7.5. I love it.
Wow! I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Thank you so much for sharing because it prepares the rest of us for the possibilities. I’m on week two, so far so good in terms of feeling fine. Two nights in a row I had one of the lean cuisine protein meatloaf, mashed and gravy, red meat, which I actually rarely red meat, but I do like some of those easy meals. I eat salmon quite often and I’ve had that once or twice since starting the medication with no problems. I’m wondering if I’m gonna have problems down the road as I adjust the medication upwards because obviously right now I’m on 2.5 still. The first week I had almost a week of appetite suppression and now in the second week nothing- no signs of appetite suppression or thankfully any side effects.
I am on Zepbound and I lost 30 pounds since the 2nd week in January and it is the 2nd week of March from today. It works! :D I do caution if you have issues with taking iron, please do not take it the day you take a shot. I had nausea and vomiting and abdominal cramping. It took 3 days to subside. And do not eat any greasy or rich foods, it will upset your stomach. Taking this medication you do feel mild nausea and could be confused from the feeling of filling full.
So sorry you went through that! FYI I had that happen in the beginning as well. I am on week 61 and I can tell you that it gets better, but each dose increases the GI issues. However, I am now full carnivore to deal with other health issues and still on Mounjaro and I have never felt better. So the red meat issue definitely gets better!
I’m in Mounjaro 7.5 for weight loss. So far I’ve lost about thirty pounds. However week three of the 7.5, I got very sick to the point where I really didn’t want to eat anything. Vomiting, diarrhea; poop is watery, nausea, abdominal cramps, dehydration. I had to go to the ER. The ER doc suggested that I stop taking it until I speak with the prescribing doc of the Mounjaro. I will be seeking for a lower dose and/or to take it every other week. I don’t eat meat, except for fish by the way.
I just ate a 16oz. ribeye tonight and I am week 3 of mounjaro and it went down fine. Wow sorry you got sick!! I have lost 20 lbs in 3and half weeks and feel great and not really any side effects. I have so much energy bc my blood sugar is now in control.good luck with your journey going forward!
I'm astounded at this. I had a normal sized portion of chicken pasta on month 2 on mg. I was so, so ill. Everything came up undigested, at the same time the other end explosive. Felt, so, so very ill. It was awful. I never ate a large portion again. Lesson learned the hard way. 🤮
What episode do you describe your dealing with constipation? I am now subscribed so very helpful and i need more info on constipation. But i will watch all of your videos as they are the most scientific and well thoughtout approach Thanks . approach
Im so sorry you went through that. My diabetic dietician warned me to avoid all full-fat food, including milk and red meat, as it would make me sick. I went out to get a coffee and forgot about the milk. Within minutes of drinking it, I felt sick as a dog. The nausea, sweats and belching last for 3 days.
You cannot overeat on this medicine because your digestive system and stomach emptying is slowed down so it will sit there if you overeat. So the body will get rid of it one way or another. This means the medicine is working since it should cause a change in behavior. People with bariatric surgery also have this. Dumping and food sitting in the stomach
Wow…good to know about the BP Med reactions. Could this have been a low blood sugar episode. Too low in fat diet could cause a gallbladder issue. Everyone get on a well balanced diet while losing weight.
Just found your channel! I’m on Ozempic - second lowest dose and had to stop. The nausea is absolutely UNREAL! Gas, gurgling, cramps stomach. No thanks! I do have chronic IBS, so this was probably just too much for my system.
I have been there violently with 7.5. Now on my second week of 12.5 but I noticed I threw up last week on Tuesday. Usually take it on Sunday but I take an Alkcetzer 30 minutes before the shot.
I have something similar to dry heaving but it’s air that comes out so basically I’m throwing up air. I’m this way the day after the shot with lots of sulfur burps.
Whoa I did have a bad experience last month that scared me so bad because I did pass out right before throwing up, I actually fell backwards and luckily just a couple small bruises I’m glad I saw this video I do take bp meds I did check my bp it was normal afterwards but I was not ready for that and I thought I was going to die at the time. It was awful.
That’s so strange I had steak tacos week 2 just 3 street tacos and chipotle salad 1/2 steak 1/2 chicken and I was fine. Red meat seems to be fine. I probably need to watch fatty foods.
I’m on week 5 on 2.5 mg and have lost 8 pounds so far with no side effects at all. I’m hoping this continues. I went through the first month with fabulous results so I thought I’d stay on 2.5 mg just to see.
I started on ozempic for several months.. diddnt care for the constant nausea.. my dr said ohhh Monjuaro.. is sooo much better.. (Lies).. within 1st week... nausea every day.. drinking pepto like no tomorow.. diddnt help.. stomach has been knots.. violently threw up one night... no my high b.p. meds diddnt make me wanna pass out... well i think im gonna bow out on using this.. i know my body.. & feeling this bad is not an improvement... going forward.. im switching to (Berberine) natural equivalent.. 🙏🏻 wish me luck..
Hey sweetie, I dont take the shots. But something you said about feeling like passing out. If this is a common issue. It could also be caused by the Vegas nerve. When throwing up, it irritates this nerve, causing this feeling. If you can take an ice pack and put it on your neck or center of your chest, it will help. I have this problem. Smart to preprep the bathroom. I am prepared if i get sick from a stomach virus. I'm not sure if you are taking this shot for just weight loss, but I've been cutting carbs and fast food, and the weight is coming off. Very low carbs also stop my hunger and cravings. Also, be careful passing out. If you feel it coming on, you need to get on the floor immediately. You can hit your head. Also, if you are not on your side when you pass out and you start throwing up, you can choak to death. Please be careful being this sick loosing weight. It sound like your body is rejecting it. You can also watch Dr Ken Berry on youtube . He talks about low carbs and weight loss. I just got diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My dr said low carbs and 20 min a day exercise. I need to loose a good 60 pounds. Again, good luck honey !! ❤
Interesting that you've had fatigue. I actually got an increase in energy. I'm nearing the end of week #2. I haven't had a problem yet, but I'm going to be careful with too much food and too much fat, now that I'm going to be heading into week #3. And, thanks for the tip on the chewing!!
You need to report this to you health care provider….I am on week two of the mounjaro….I haven’t any of these issue other than constipation….maybe bcuz I am vegan….I pray your doing much better this is very helpful….take care of yourself.
I took one shot…… I got so very sick for days upon days. One was enough for me. Anything giving me these kind of symptom says to me it’s not good for me. I listen to my body……..
I been on thus for 5 month and i do omad n i eat meat ever meal never had a problem just got to control your portions. Im on 7.5 3rd month to me it the sweet spot. Just make sure to take vitamins there is one just for glp-1.
Ok i been on mounjaro for 3 months started at 2.5 up to 7.5 doing pretty good then jad problems with my insurance for about 3 weeks thats when i was off i started back at 10mg oh my i vomited till i had dry heaves it was so bad i am also on metform that was day one i hope i do better now
Can I ask what milligrams you are on? I just started my Mounjaro journey 1 week ago. My doctor for some reason started me out with 5 milligrams. I was SO SICK the next morning I thought I’d die. I called him and said I wanted to take the 2.5 instead. I’m scared to death to even take that one now
Is steak OK to eat? The reason I’m asking is I’m going on a cruise next month and they have chicken and steak on the chip and obviously I want some steak and I’m on the same exact injection Mounjaro.
Ive been on Mounjaro almost 15 mos never been sick from red meat. I dont have it often but the times Ive had its been fine. Never have thrown up not once. I dont count how many times I chew and eat pretty quickly. I also did 2.5 one month and 5mg 3 months so I had a while to work up to 7.5. Not sure what dose you are on but some seem to titrate too quickly. I just finished 5 boxes of 12.5mg and 2 days ago started 15. Ive seen people on this med 6 months already on 15. I say take it slow folks, its not a race. I lost a lot of hair and I def did not eat between 600-800 calories. Hair loss happens with any significant amount of weight loss. It will grow back, just def not fun while you lose it and waiting for it to grow back 🙁😥
@@shoeplugtony7018 100lbs in 10 mos… by 13 months I was down 120lbs… then it stopped completely. No weight loss for 2 months straight going up and down the same 3lbs and I was doing all the right things trust. I know the body needs to adjust so I just kept on truckin and the scale started moving again. Since January I have lost another 15lbs … so 135lbs total. I have 40 more I’d like to lose before skin removal surgeries. The weight loss definitely slows down. The food noise comes back, not the same as before the med but its not like when you first start so lifestyle change is very important, but its something Ive been doing for years, the med gave me the help I needed with my hormones as I have pcos, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. You didnt ask all that lol, but just thought Id give details. This journey is different for everyone. As someone with lifelong chronic obesity it was the tool I needed to help me finish my journey as I lost and gained the same 50lbs for 8 years. I didnt gain weight after covid or after kids in my 30’s … obesity has been a struggle for me since I was a teen and yo yo dieting definitely messes up your metabolism so very grateful for this tool.
I took my third shot Friday and by Saturday I was so sick and my stomach was so distended I looked like one of those poor little babies in the Third World countries that their stomach is distended. It hurt to touch it. It hurt to lay down. It hurt to set up. My daughter-in-law gave me some extra strength, Gas-X, and after three doses, I am starting to feel better but my stomach is still sore and it hurts and the gas the belching and the farting are so bad and the pain to touch my stomach Saturday night I threw up I had diarrhea all of that stuff and I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. I was also just diagnosed with diabetes type two and I am on met Forman a couple other medication’s that they started me on I don’t know if I’m abnormal or what but I’m freaking out just a little bit.
Sorry you got sick but side effects are a very individual experience. I’m on 10mg and have had no side effects at all. I listen to my body about the quantity I eat rather than what I eat.
YIKES! You poor thing! Glad you are feeling better now. I have an appointment with a nutritionist next week. I am anxious to talk with her. Congrats on your loss! Week 3 for me on Ozempic - zero loss.....: (
That's terrible to getvso sick. I'm on week9 of mounjaro5mg. I got very sick nausea an d diahrea on week5. I took some electrolyte powder mixed with 20oz of water and it got better so so far for the last week or two nosevere sickness and no diahrrea. I will not go on any higher than 5mg.
I am on 12.5 mg and tolerate it. I do have zofran which helps. I have been on Monjaro since September 2022. Lost 88 pounds. I had nausea at first and sometimes now for a few days after my shot. When I get takeout I make at least 2 meals from it. I learned to stay away from foods that make me feel sick. I eat beef but not a lot of it. Good luck everyone. I am lucky that I tolerate the 12.5 dose. I never had vomiting .
Sounds like you may have been suffereing from a GI bug, not neccesarily a side effect of the meds. I expereinced this week 2 and it was definately a bug and not the meds.
On Mounjaro for 5 months. I can eat red meat just fine. But too much food makes me sick. Doesn’t matter what. Amount that is too much is objectively very little. Even one or two bites too much. I’m guessing you just ate too much.
This is definitely a per person thing because I eat red meat daily and have not had any side effects and haven’t deben sick. Sorry that happened to you but want others to know that what you’re describing isn’t for everybody so they aren’t afraid of eating red meat. It’s per person.
OMG, thank you, thank you. My doctor put me on this shot to replace other diabetic meds. I didn't think anything about it. Week 1 and 2 I felt like my stomach was shredded and the idea of food made me nauseous so i barely ate anything for the first 3 days after a shot. On my 3rd dose, I had exactly what you described for a full 3 days straight. I finally did some research and found you.

Thank you for putting this out there, I would never have taken another shot if it weren't for your honest and positive videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you for being transparent, it’s necessary. The doctors should share more about side effects. I had to invest in sleeping on depends in fear I couldn’t make it to the bathroom in time. I think support groups are necessary while on these injections for the first time.
I’ve been on mounjaro for six weeks now I’m on 5mgs,so far I’ve only lost 3lbs despite following the plan,my blood sugars have came down,what am I doing wrong
I’m not even on the meds, but I am working on my relationship with food.. so I found you on RUclips. You have a gift for speaking, explaining, encouraging, presenting info. AWESOME! Keep it up - really enjoy your channel!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!!! Remember to stay positive and focus on your goal! I’m here to support you!!!!❤️
This is such a helpful video. I am on blood pressure meds as well ( week 1 of mounjaro ) with glass shower doors that face me. Pre-prepping suggestions are FANTASTIC. Thank you
Ive been on Mounjaro for four months now. i've lost 42lbs and feel great. My appetite is way less and when I eat I get full quickly. I started on 2.5 and moved on to 5. I have had none of the the side affects that people complain about. I'm on blood pressure meds, metformine etc without any issues. My a1c is regularly 5.9 to 6.0, I no longer take Humalog and very low amount of Lantus. Mounjaro has changed my life. the flip side is that being obese has many many disastrous consequences.
Can you please share the price of Medicine.
Hi everyone here from Texas plse serious note asking as very concern from my health I was prescribed Monjuro bt Iam terrified too used it cuz I suffer from sever chemical Ashma when I smell those things ND rapid heart beat ND too am scared of get d jittery i know I sound nuts by honestly it all truth gbs everyone in this journey thanx
Great post and Advise! Thank you for sharing.
Hi.How low the units of lantus?I'm the same situation hope one day quitting lantus too.
Thank you for sharing
This is so well presented!! Great job.
Thanks so much!
Oh my gosh that's scary! I take blood pressure meds and live by myself, definitely need to think of a plan. Glad you are ok and thanks for the heads up.
I purchased a smartwatch that links to my iPhone because I also live alone. It’s just a precaution
Thank you so much for continuing to be transparent.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your story. I stopped eating red meat 1 years prior to knowing Mounjaro existed. I think that helped minimize my side effects.

I pay 25$ for a 3 month supply.
Where do you get your Manjaro for a $25 for 3 months Supply
So many great ideas❤ Thank you

Thanks for watching!

So sorry you went through that! FYI I had that happen in the beginning as well. I am on week 61 and I can tell you that it gets better, but each dose increases the GI issues. However, I am now full carnivore to deal with other health issues and still on Mounjaro and I have never felt better. So the red meat issue definitely gets better!
Thank you!
Carnivore is the way to go. Then try and get off meds.
I’m in Mounjaro 7.5 for weight loss. So far I’ve lost about thirty pounds. However week three of the 7.5, I got very sick to the point where I really didn’t want to eat anything. Vomiting, diarrhea; poop is watery, nausea, abdominal cramps, dehydration. I had to go to the ER. The ER doc suggested that I stop taking it until I speak with the prescribing doc of the Mounjaro. I will be seeking for a lower dose and/or to take it every other week. I don’t eat meat, except for fish by the way.
I see this is common on 7.5 week 2 and 3. I wonder what causes it!
I just ate a 16oz. ribeye tonight and I am week 3 of mounjaro and it went down fine. Wow sorry you got sick!!
I have lost 20 lbs in 3and half weeks and feel great and not really any side effects. I have so much energy bc my blood sugar is now in control.good luck with your journey going forward!
How did you eat 16 oz steak ? I thought you can't eat as much on this??
I'm astounded at this. I had a normal sized portion of chicken pasta on month 2 on mg. I was so, so ill. Everything came up undigested, at the same time the other end explosive. Felt, so, so very ill. It was awful. I never ate a large portion again. Lesson learned the hard way. 🤮
What episode do you describe your dealing with constipation? I am now subscribed so very helpful and i need more info on constipation. But i will watch all of your videos as they are the most scientific and well thoughtout approach Thanks . approach
The one titled Constipation Cure
wow!!! this was VERY helpful info.... thanks so much
Same thing happened to me. It was so awful and I was by myself. It was so bad I can’t even mention what all happened. Good luck on your journey.🙂
Was the meat cooked well?
Im so sorry you went through that. My diabetic dietician warned me to avoid all full-fat food, including milk and red meat, as it would make me sick. I went out to get a coffee and forgot about the milk. Within minutes of drinking it, I felt sick as a dog. The nausea, sweats and belching last for 3 days.
I had the same problem of nausea and being violently ill when I updosed to 7.5 mg. I'll have to go back to the 5 mg.
You cannot overeat on this medicine because your digestive system and stomach emptying is slowed down so it will sit there if you overeat. So the body will get rid of it one way or another. This means the medicine is working since it should cause a change in behavior. People with bariatric surgery also have this. Dumping and food sitting in the stomach
Lord I live alone and this terrified me. I'll hold off on beef until I have someone with me.
I experienced stomach sickness for the first time, I’m on week 6 of 2.5. Hope this never happens again.
I do wonder if you had food poisoning instead of just reacting to beef? Esp that very violent reaction. Glad you’re on the mend
That’s a very good point. I’m not sure!
Or a bug ?
Nope. Never in 60 plus years had vomiting like that except after fried food meal I ate too fast.
I will never forget projectile vomiting eating some steak & blooming onion from Outback. It was at week 3. No big issues since then.
With the nausea I use Alka Seltzer and it works for me, every time!
Great option!
Wow…good to know about the BP Med reactions. Could this have been a low blood sugar episode. Too low in fat diet could cause a gallbladder issue. Everyone get on a well balanced diet while losing weight.
Just found your channel! I’m on Ozempic - second lowest dose and had to stop. The nausea is absolutely UNREAL! Gas, gurgling, cramps stomach. No thanks! I do have chronic IBS, so this was probably just too much for my system.
Thank you for sharing your story.
I have been there violently with 7.5. Now on my second week of 12.5 but I noticed I threw up last week on Tuesday. Usually take it on Sunday but I take an Alkcetzer 30 minutes before the shot.
I have something similar to dry heaving but it’s air that comes out so basically I’m throwing up air. I’m this way the day after the shot with lots of sulfur burps.
Whoa I did have a bad experience last month that scared me so bad because I did pass out right before throwing up, I actually fell backwards and luckily just a couple small bruises I’m glad I saw this video I do take bp meds I did check my bp it was normal afterwards but I was not ready for that and I thought I was going to die at the time. It was awful.
😢 So glad yur still with us 🙏🏾
Glad you are feeling better
That’s so strange I had steak tacos week 2 just 3 street tacos and chipotle salad 1/2 steak 1/2 chicken and I was fine. Red meat seems to be fine. I probably need to watch fatty foods.
I’m on week 5 on 2.5 mg and have lost 8 pounds so far with no side effects at all. I’m hoping this continues. I went through the first month with fabulous results so I thought I’d stay on 2.5 mg just to see.

I have been on ozempic and now zepbound for about 4 months and have never had an episode of sickness. I guess I’m lucky
Where do I find support groups?
On Facebook
I have the gastric sleeve. I wonder if i will projectile vomit.
You definitely have ptsd. Lol. Glad you feel better.
It like what happens with us bariatric patients, dumping syndrome, it horrible and scarey
Hey sweetie, I dont take the shots. But something you said about feeling like passing out. If this is a common issue. It could also be caused by the Vegas nerve. When throwing up, it irritates this nerve, causing this feeling.
If you can take an ice pack and put it on your neck or center of your chest, it will help.
I have this problem.
Smart to preprep the bathroom. I am prepared if i get sick from a stomach virus.
I'm not sure if you are taking this shot for just weight loss, but I've been cutting carbs and fast food, and the weight is coming off.
Very low carbs also stop my hunger and cravings.
Also, be careful passing out. If you feel it coming on, you need to get on the floor immediately. You can hit your head. Also, if you are not on your side when you pass out and you start throwing up, you can choak to death.

All the best to you!
Interesting that you've had fatigue. I actually got an increase in energy. I'm nearing the end of week #2. I haven't had a problem yet, but I'm going to be careful with too much food and too much fat, now that I'm going to be heading into week #3. And, thanks for the tip on the chewing!!
And with too much alcohol too 😐
Dr. Dubrow says he knows many who have developed pancreatitis from drinking while on these meds
You need to report this to you health care provider….I am on week two of the mounjaro….I haven’t any of these issue other than constipation….maybe bcuz I am vegan….I pray your doing much better this is very helpful….take care of yourself.
im sorry you went through all of that i had surgery too
I took one shot…… I got so very sick for days upon days. One was enough for me. Anything giving me these kind of symptom says to me it’s not good for me. I listen to my body……..
I been on thus for 5 month and i do omad n i eat meat ever meal never had a problem just got to control your portions. Im on 7.5 3rd month to me it the sweet spot. Just make sure to take vitamins there is one just for glp-1.
Ok i been on mounjaro for 3 months started at 2.5 up to 7.5 doing pretty good then jad problems with my insurance for about 3 weeks thats when i was off i started back at 10mg oh my i vomited till i had dry heaves it was so bad i am also on metform that was day one i hope i do better now
What should calorie intake be? And protein per day?
It depends on the person
How much was the dosage? I just started and I ‘m at 2.5
2.5
Pot roast got me too, lol. Not barfing yet, but I feel like it’d be better if it just would come up, ugghh.
I’m so sorry I hate that feeling!
Can I ask what milligrams you are on? I just started my Mounjaro journey 1 week ago. My doctor for some reason started me out with 5 milligrams. I was SO SICK the next morning I thought I’d die. I called him and said I wanted to take the 2.5 instead. I’m scared to death to even take that one now
I’m on 2.5. Stay on it as long as you see results. The side effects get better/disappear with time
Is steak OK to eat? The reason I’m asking is I’m going on a cruise next month and they have chicken and steak on the chip and obviously I want some steak and I’m on the same exact injection Mounjaro.
I would try a small piece at home no fat take digestive enzymes and see how it goes
Oh my goodness chewing. Forgot about that. I gained all my weight after bariatric surgery because I know that my bad habits back. 30 chews who onew?
Ive been on Mounjaro almost 15 mos never been sick from red meat. I dont have it often but the times Ive had its been fine. Never have thrown up not once. I dont count how many times I chew and eat pretty quickly. I also did 2.5 one month and 5mg 3 months so I had a while to work up to 7.5. Not sure what dose you are on but some seem to titrate too quickly. I just finished 5 boxes of 12.5mg and 2 days ago started 15. Ive seen people on this med 6 months already on 15. I say take it slow folks, its not a race. I lost a lot of hair and I def did not eat between 600-800 calories. Hair loss happens with any significant amount of weight loss. It will grow back, just def not fun while you lose it and waiting for it to grow back 🙁😥
How much weight you lost since you started?
@@shoeplugtony7018 100lbs in 10 mos… by 13 months I was down 120lbs… then it stopped completely. No weight loss for 2 months straight going up and down the same 3lbs and I was doing all the right things trust. I know the body needs to adjust so I just kept on truckin and the scale started moving again. Since January I have lost another 15lbs … so 135lbs total. I have 40 more I’d like to lose before skin removal surgeries. The weight loss definitely slows down. The food noise comes back, not the same as before the med but its not like when you first start so lifestyle change is very important, but its something Ive been doing for years, the med gave me the help I needed with my hormones as I have pcos, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. You didnt ask all that lol, but just thought Id give details.
This journey is different for everyone. As someone with lifelong chronic obesity it was the tool I needed to help me finish my journey as I lost and gained the same 50lbs for 8 years. I didnt gain weight after covid or after kids in my 30’s … obesity has been a struggle for me since I was a teen and yo yo dieting definitely messes up your metabolism so very grateful for this tool.
I took my third shot Friday and by Saturday I was so sick and my stomach was so distended I looked like one of those poor little babies in the Third World countries that their stomach is distended. It hurt to touch it. It hurt to lay down. It hurt to set up. My daughter-in-law gave me some extra strength, Gas-X, and after three doses, I am starting to feel better but my stomach is still sore and it hurts and the gas the belching and the farting are so bad and the pain to touch my stomach Saturday night I threw up I had diarrhea all of that stuff and I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. I was also just diagnosed with diabetes type two and I am on met Forman a couple other medication’s that they started me on I don’t know if I’m abnormal or what but I’m freaking out just a little bit.
Could i mention dont drink people while on this drug my Dr said more people get pancreatitis who drink quire a bit.
I cant eat ground beef. Feel as if a big lump in my stomach by eating a hamburger pattie.
Great video
Sorry you got sick but side effects are a very individual experience. I’m on 10mg and have had no side effects at all. I listen to my body about the quantity I eat rather than what I eat.
This is very true!
YIKES! You poor thing! Glad you are feeling better now. I have an appointment with a nutritionist next week. I am anxious to talk with her. Congrats on your loss! Week 3 for me on Ozempic - zero loss.....: (
Thank you! Stick with it, some don’t see a loss till much later and that’s normal❤️
That's terrible to getvso sick. I'm on week9 of mounjaro5mg. I got very sick nausea an d diahrea on week5.
I took some electrolyte powder mixed with 20oz of water and it got better so so far for the last week or two nosevere sickness and no diahrrea. I will not go on any higher than 5mg.
I am on 12.5 mg and tolerate it. I do have zofran which helps. I have been on Monjaro since September 2022. Lost 88 pounds. I had nausea at first and sometimes now for a few days after my shot. When I get takeout I make at least 2 meals from it. I learned to stay away from foods that make me feel sick. I eat beef but not a lot of it. Good luck everyone. I am lucky that I tolerate the 12.5 dose. I never had vomiting .
Wow! I've never ever experienced this! Im on month 3 at 7.5mg. What dose are you on? Also have your doctor prescribe zofran for nausea.
2.5, I don’t take zofran because I don’t get nauseous. This was like full blown sick!
Some of us just are going to have the side effects. I still do and I’ve been on it 10 months, not as often, but still do. Worth it tho!
100% agree worth it!
Please anyone on here who gets slow bowels and intense constipation from the meds, what are your solutions??
Check out my constipation cure video❤️
No issues with beef…
What caused you to pass out exactly? Is it because you ate meat? I’m sorry, I am confused and now nerv😢ous
Week three for me. No side effects. No weight loss. Nothing. Obsessing how I'm failing at this, too.
Be sure to watch my latest video on clearing out those negative thoughts. You can do this❤️
Sounds like you may have been suffereing from a GI bug, not neccesarily a side effect of the meds. I expereinced this week 2 and it was definately a bug and not the meds.
Has anyone experienced anxiety or depression with this?
Yes that’s common but goes away with time
How long did that last for you?@@FitFlavorFun
My insurance doesn't cover Mounjaro.
On Mounjaro for 5 months. I can eat red meat just fine. But too much food makes me sick. Doesn’t matter what. Amount that is too much is objectively very little. Even one or two bites too much. I’m guessing you just ate too much.
Maybe!
This is definitely a per person thing because I eat red meat daily and have not had any side effects and haven’t deben sick. Sorry that happened to you but want others to know that what you’re describing isn’t for everybody so they aren’t afraid of eating red meat. It’s per person.
I liked listening to your story but I find the dogs very distracting.
