I’m prescribed mounjaro, for a while I wasn’t and paid out of pocket. I just need people to know with diet, exercise and Mounjaro I have lost 175lbs since May this year! It has been a game changer for me, I’m the healthiest I’ve been since highschool!
I have been on Mounjaro for 7 weeks and have lost 37 pounds! No side effects at all. It has given me more energy than ever. I exercise every day and have cut out all junk food!
I’ve been on Mounjaro for 8 months as I was close to pre-diabetic. I lost 50 pounds and have never felt better. I was having major back surgery and wanted to be in the best shape I could be in. It made all the difference in my recovery! I receive the viles from a compound pharmacy. I pay $395/vile and doing a shot a week, it lasts close to two months. I’ve really had zero side effects. The only downside is having to buy all new clothes. Was a size 14, now a size 6. 5’1 and was 176, now 126. I’m really pleased.
I love Mounjaro! Have lost 37 pounds in a little over 3 months and my blood sugar is completely normal. Side effects are very minimal. It has completely changed my relationship with food and made me way more productive.
It was very expensive in the beginning, over $1000 the first month, but every month, it went down and now at $60 a month on Medicare. I am afraid it will be back to $1000 in the new year. I have lost a ton. Started at 232 in April and am at 159 today, December 3. Numerous side effects for me. I have so many medical conditions that have improved immensely....definitely worth it. I do get nauseous occasionally, more in the beginning. Sometimes diarrhea and other times constipated. You have to drink a lot of fluids and maintain a balanced diet. My joints don't hurt, cholesterol down by 80 points, and my a1c is in the 5's. I also have so much more energy. My cardiologist joked with me I was trying to get rid of him because all my numbers are perfect with the weight loss.
I started mounjoro couple of months ago. I'm on 12.5. I see I loss inces more than pounds. How often do you work out and how much fluid you drink. Thank you
I love Mounjaro, it has 3 mechanisms of action against the 2 hormones instead of just the 1 Ozempic targets, I lost 50lbs in the past year on Mounjaro! My A1C went from 8 to 5.3! went from 35 BMI to 27... decreased my body mass by 23%.. that's almost 1/4th of what I was! It works phenomenal!
@@heyheyhey40 erRrrr wrong! 😑 I have pancreatic insufficiency and even if I only ate 800 calories and ran miles everyday for a year, I still would’ve gained weight because I don’t break down foods or starches / sugars. They stay in my blood. Why don’t you take a course on physiology and specifically study endocrinology. You may understand why some people can never lose weight without insulin or a pancreatic stimulator. There’s a clear connection between increasing body mass and loss of exocrine function, but I didn’t realize you were a physician. 🤦🏼
I'm on Mounjaro ! I've lost ten pounds ! I lost 20 when on Trulicity over longer period of time! Manjaro works! Stay tuned! At my lowest weight since 2012.
Food addiction is real. How amazing is this ?!?! Health insurance companies would really save money if this medication was covered so people can battle obesity.
I was on another main brand and got so sick. I just couldn’t take it after 3 months, so my Doctor put me on Mounjaro and i have no side effects and have lost 8lbs in three weeks.
I got sick with Monjaro, yes I lost 10 lbs after 6 months. But after that it gave me abdominal pain....was so sick , before and after eating! So I stopped it. It gave me gastritis. I went to Gastroenterologist.... Dr suggested to stop the Monjaro. So I did..n I felt a little better ..still experiencing abdominal pain...it's probably still on my system,..but glad I don't feel sick anymore. So be careful wit some people it can cause abdominal pain.
yeah definitely! if mounjaro wasn't working the way it's intended to it's probably because it wasn't essential, or they have thyroid and pancreatic illness history @@gladitsnotme
I am a type 2 diabetic and both Ozempic & Mounjaro both made me sick! I was actually able to tolerate a very low dose of Ozempic but I didn’t lose any weight! 🙄 Increased the dose for Ozempic it made me horribly sick!
Yes, but unfortunately as the doctor noted, the satiety eventually wears off. So, you have to learn how to realistically diet while you're ON Mounjaro, not when you stop using it.
@@maipai101 Perhaps...for diabetics, but not for people who want to lose weight. That's why a realistic diet needs to be learned in order to avoid yoyo dieting.
Agree as well. And I still haven't seen a good end game here. I technically could go off of it in a month or two but then do I go right back up? I have been eating excellent. For me, it's the sugar cravings it has stopped. I love sweets so am a bit nervous stopping it. Love to hear from someone that has stopped.
I am on week four with mounjaro. I made a mistake and took it on an empty stomach. I was so weak, nausea and dizzy. I will eat from now on. Plus I cut out all sugar. Dr says I am diabetic. You still need some sugar I guess. What a day!
Seven weeks in on mounjaro. I feel a bit nauseous about 36 hrs after injection and I am hesitant to increase the dosage yet as recommended by my doctor. At the moment no need to increase dosage. Working really well. I just don’t feel as hungry. Down 22 lbs. blood pressure noticeably down with the weight loss.
I had saxenda for 2 months and lost 22lbs it stopped working and i rebounded 45lb, im in a worse place now so just ordered 12 weeks of mounjaro, hope it helps
You don't hear enough about what it's doing for your blood sugar levels. I have fought this forever taking tons of insulin and right now I'm on a third less insulin Aunt. My blood sugars are just leveling out with the Manjaro. I could not be happier. I've lost 12 lb in one week. Pat, still my focus is on my blood sugar and I mean just like yesterday I was in Target range all day long. I haven't done that in over 30 years
If the only difference is dosage, it seems wild to me that they have to spend money on a whole second brand.....Ozempic is Wegovy, Mounjaro is Zepbound.....whats the reason to create duplicates? I'm sure studies have a lot to do with it, but why not just study ozempic for weightloss and prescribe it as such vs two sets of something thats the same. Genuinely curious.
And there goes the inventory just like Ozempic. I hope they are preparing their supply and stock at pharmacies so what happened to Ozempic doesn't happen with them!
My mounjaro was always hard to find. I started taking it when there was some coupon out there and struggled constantly trying to find it. Good news is I am on 10mg right now an any new people will start at 2.5! I am glad to hear the results but will make sure I have mine all in order.
Not necessarily so. What if you have a cardiovascular issue and need to lose weight and are prescribed mounjaro? Isn't that a matter of life and death also? Whose issue is more important?
Why? Type 2 diabetes is caused by poor diet and lifestyle choices/ obesity. You're no better than someone using it to prevent themselves from developing type 2 diabetes. Losing weight will lead to better health for millions of people.
@@agnaldoromualdobarboza6052 I live in Atlanta, Ga when my doctor up the dosage of Ozempic like 7.5mg no pharmacy has in stock it’s on back order so my doctor switched the Ozempic to Mounjaro.
@FirstClassBlonde yes you can, I'm on day 2 of mounjaro after being on ozempic for months, wasn't working and awful stomach discomfort. Hoping mounjaro does the trick 🙏.
Im diabetic,type 2 on insulin. Been on mounjaro for almost 4 months now and notice no less appetite,no weight loss. On 5mg . Cant understand why some people are losing weight so fast.
Because almost all of my side effects were digestive related, I always have some oyster crackers near by and if my stomach is bothering me i go back to my mom's old tummy fixer and take a few small crackers. They aren't too nutritional, but they seem to work. Very few calories and settles whatever is ailing right down.
Mounjaro was a game changers for me. Ozempic made me so sick so i stopped and went to this and i habe had no side effects outside of a headache the first day. So happy
@agnaldoromualdobarboza6052 Oh, Okay!]. I'm in the US. I need to take a different medication, Trulicity, weekly for 4 weeks. My doc is requesting the switch to Mounjaro a few times per week.

I am on Medicare and this is true. I am a diabetic though and have several health issues. My Dr had to put in for an authorization but they approved me.
I have type 2 and was just prescribed this Rx, but too nervous to even go and pick it up. Don’t know why, but I’m nervous to even hold it. My brain…. Over working as usual 😳
I was like that too I remember my hands shaking when I pick it up so far i did my 3 shot Friday already lost 8.4 in two weeks only side effects is constipation
I've been using Mounjaro for a little over a week. I've lost about five pounds. Bottom line, you're just not hungry. Food is still enjoyable, but I'm satisfied with about a third of what i used to eat. This makes it easier to make better food choices too since you're listening to your brain, not your cravings. It's really something.
the point is when you are fat like me its not as easy as just not eating reduce cal's and walking etc , i put weight on my body aches when i walk im too heavy i cant breath cant sleep right , docs say im too young for weightloss medication let alone if i ask for this

@@Lovelyone1 lots of things work for weight loss. That doesn't mean they should be used for them. Not everything works for diabetes care and what does work should be saved for it
Type 2 diabetes is caused by poor life choices. It's not the same as Type 1 diabetes. Most of these people could reverse their diabetes by losing weight and eating healthier. I'm old enough to remember when you only encountered people with type 1 diabetes.
@@larynOneka8080 so we choose which items in the grocery store have hidden sugars? We control exactly what items are available and affordable enough for us to afford? We control the family history which would tell us that we're susceptible to diabetes in the first place? Not every person with type 2 diabetes is now or has been fat, out of shape or eats poorly. These are simply indicators of what may happen and are not the only indicators. In fact, thin people who don't eat enough can also become type 2 diabetic, people who think they're eating in a healthy manner can become type 2 diabetic due to hidden factors and there are still factors unknown to medical science for why those things happen in the first place.
I wish doctors would STOP prescribing it simply for weight. I am a diabetic and cannot get my dosage because it is being hogged more by people trying to loose weight.
And what about people morbidly obese (as opposed to a just overweight)? Usually type 2 diabetes is in great part the result of uncontrolled obesity over time so this is preventative.
@@Jackbarrany Any weight loss use of this med is wrong. It is off label use and doctors should find another option. I have gone without most of this year because my dosage is unavailable. I take it for two reasons both of which are on label uses.

Not that simple. Diabetes Type II patients with high insulin resistance have the issue of most of what they eat going to "fat storage" while their cells are left starving. That is why most keep eating and eating with no real appetite satisfaction even with a full stomach and feel too fatigued to do any real daily exercise.
