Mounjaro for Weight Loss week 1 | I’m SHOCKED at how much I lost! 

Hi , what dose did u start with ? 0.5?

Well done.

Awesome just got first injection today of 2.5 . how were your results after the first week to fourth? And how many weeks did u do it for? ..so it's really effective? How much diet And exercise did u do after? Thanx much! And congrats!

Thank you so much Rhonda!

Depends on how much you have to loss

I hope it went well!

How is it going for you!

Never had constipation. I took it off and on for years. It’s how you eat, that determines how your experience is.

@@JungChaeTy_7didn’t realize you can take phentermine with monjauro. My DR cxl my prescription when prescribed monjauro

I didn't know you could take Phentermine & These injections. But I've been on & off Phentermine for 2 years. Started my injection on Monday.

Phentermine made me feel angry all the time. I am usually a calm, nice person, but on phentermine I was having to hold myself back from punching people in the face.

Phentermine This dangerous diet pill was yanked from the market by the FDA in 1997 because of its association with serious cardiovascular problems. Phentermine was the “Phen” in Fen-Phen. Along with fenfluramine (“Fen”), the duo of ingredients was linked to heart and pulmonary emergencies, many of which resulted in death. Risks.

Thank you!

I knew that about the water, but not about kiwis! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you Kathy! I’m feeling so excited about this journey!

Thank you Shirley!

Thank you Maria!

Yay! You’ve got this!

Thanks so much!

Do you have type 2 diabetes?

My employer also covered the medication 100% no copay either. I don’t have diabetes but my PCP did a insulin test and i ended up being insulin resistant so i got approved.

With BCBS, what did you have to do to be approved?

I too have zero out of pocket for this drug !!!

That's amazing! I have BCBS thru my employer, so I hope and pray that it's 100% covered. I have Type 2 diabetes

Thank you so much!

The 10th of November?

@@Brittanylosing yes! I literally just followed a support group on Facebook that day too! One of the admins made a pinned post stating “The $25 offer without insurance coverage has ended. New card = $500 off…” I did sign up for the savings card and that’s what it states on there as well. Anyone who got the saving card before the 10th is grandfathered in so you should still get the medication for $25.

Thank you!

I started yesterday and feel the same way. I hope it doesn't stay this way..

@@kristinab434 it will only last a little. Best of luck to you.

I think they r banned, bcuz Of cardiac issues, I dont know how she got them?

I am trying to choose nutrient dense, high protein foods, and I am doing a collagen protein shake daily, along with a vitamin. Honestly, I’ve got to be getting way more good nutrition then i was before when i was eating whatever

Nothing wrong with protein bars. Its the calories in your food that matters, people need to stop demonising low calorie diet foods just because they're processed. I eat three protein bars a day and am down 140lb naturally drug free.

Wow that’s amazing! I hope it continues this way for you!!

Thank you!

Wow ! Now that’s great ! I Hope my dr gives me some coupons if she even knows about monjauro. I called to schedule an appt to get it . Next week

Do u see a Weightloss specialist for your monjauro or did your primary Dr give it .

Update? I'm a Type 2 as well and I'm starting my first dose. I had a horrible time on Victoza and Rybellus. Did you have side effects?

I’ve heard taking a break from phentermine is helpful as well, so it may end up being good for you!

Thank you!

I’m not on both anymore ☺️

Yes! I’m realizing how important water is on the phentermine! If not my mouth is SO dry, my lips… everything. So weird. But i do think it’s aiding a lot in suppressing my appetite

So my sister said that the first time she took phentermine it worked amazing, and then it’s never worked the same for her. But she didn’t gain the weight back

Yes the coupon changed recently, you didn’t have to check that box previously

He told me to take it the first month, while I was on the starter dose of Mounjaro. So I’ll stop it before I go up to 5mg of Mounjaro.

And how strong phen is

My dr prescribed both and I quickly stopped the phen. Less than a week. I feel so much better without it and I’ve lost a ton!

That’s awesome! Some people just don’t like phentermine. Or can’t handle it. I’m fine with it so I’ll take it how he told me to!

Good to know! Thank you! Mine didn’t cover it so I should be good! Fingers crossed

My doctor recommended it. However I haven’t been on both since early January.

The truth!! Same

Same. I'm a very non confrontational, nice person and Phentermine made me have to constantly restrain myself from punching people in the face. I couldn't do it.

@@colleenmcbride3656 lol same

That's....not how that works. 🤦😂🤡

@@chandracox6814 😉

Phentermine. I got it from my doctor as well

My doctor recommended doing it the first month while adjusting to Mounjaro. I have not been on it since late December/early January.

That's cheaper than most get it so no, seems fair.

At the time my doctor recommended it, to be fair I don’t think it’s something he would now recommend (almost 2 yrs later with a lot more known about GLP-1s)

Also I only took both for a month

While I understand your frustration, this isn’t a problem of regulation. It’s all a pharmaceutical problem. Overcharging and under producing.

@Brittany Rose: Downsizing Yes. It is very frustrating because I need relief from my blood sugar spikes. Even changing my diet hasnt helped. The Pharmacist explained to me that while it is a drug made for those with Type II DIABETES, doctors all around are prescribing it for "weight loss". It's not the pharmaceuticals' fault. The pharmaceutical company wasn't expecting that type of supply & demand. Those looking for a quick weight loss method overpowered those of is that actually need it to help regulate our blood sugar. So apparently, it's not too expensive - people finding the funds ro pay for it. My doctor even switched me from Mounjaro to Ozempic since Mounjaro was on back order. Ozempic was out too come to find out Good Morning did a story of how people are having Ozempic weight loss parties. So again...yes it is frustrating. I wonder what people are going to do once they can't take it anymore and weight creeps back.

heyy girl , where u ever able to get it ?

@paulinAsmr HI. Yes, on and off. I finally told my physician we need to try something else because of the inconsistencies. It was irritating.

I’m not, but doctor didn’t say anything about it, and I never even thought about it until you pointed it out, since I’m not diabetic. I’ll message my Dr and make sure I shouldn’t be!

I’m not sure.

I saw someone comment that it’s a little cheaper on Amazon pharmacy!

Me too. I paid $965.00. Got mine at Safeway pharmacy.

I paid 470 Usd to get it from Dubai

It’s much cheaper in Dubai

What insurance do you have?

@@emilyyang3452 I was mistaken. I was able to get the mounjaro thinking my insurance covered found out last week it did not. Not sure why I was able to get 3 months. I'm switching to wegovy (hopefully)
