I am going to share with you two BIG MISTAKES, I made in my week #4 on Mounjaro! It is my hope that by sharing, I can help someone else who is also on the journey of using Mounjaro or is thinking about trying it. I will share any weight loss as well as blood sugar effects and side effects I have experienced. I appreciate tips shared from you, too! Please feel free to share in the comments and if you have any questions, I will try to answer them either during this live or in a future video. I plan to go live on “Mounjaro Mondays!”
I am taking Mounjaro to help with my Type 2 Diabetes as well as for weight loss. Both of these Mounjaro mistakes I made could happen on Zepbound too! Both are made with the same ingredient-- Tirzepatide.
If you have diabetes, I have a type 2 diabetes playlist on this channel. You are welcome to watch videos and reach out to me in the comments. We don't have to struggle with diabetes alone!
I am starting a Mounjaro playlist on this channel as well and will be recording my journey to help others. If you are also on a Mounjaro or Zepbound - tirzepatide- journey and have tips to share, please do! We can help each other!
Here is a direct link to my "I got Type 2 Diabetes...Now What" playlist:

Here is a direct link to my "Mounjaro Journey" playlist:
• Mounjaro Journey
I have type 2 diabetes and hate pricking my fingers constantly. I also have a video on this Anchor Moments channel of me inserting a Freestyle Libre glucose sensor in my arm for the first time. It didn't hurt! I have been wearing the Freestyle Libre and Freestyle Libre 2 sensors for over 3 years now and enjoy not having to prick my fingers daily!
Here is the link to my Freestyle Libre video:

I mention in this video of an outstanding Facebook group I joined that is so helpful! It is run by a nurse practitioner. It is called Mounjaro Zepbound Weight Loss Support.

You are so welcome! That was the advice I wish I had before I bumped up to 5 MG. I am doing so much better now that I have TUMS and Pepcid! Plus eating smaller portions has helped a bunch! I hope you have a great week! Thanks for watching!

We are about on the same time frame! I will do my fourth shot in 2 days. Me, like you, start feeling the hunger and food noise the last 2 days of the week. I am moving my shot day to Wednesday morning so I can have better food suppression over the weekend, since that’s when we go out to eat. I’m glad to have found your videos. Makes me feel like I have a ‘buddy’ to experience this whole thing with. ❤🎉

OMG! I did the same thing a few days ago, except I did it twice. You are right. It is a very expensive mistake. I wasted two of my four pens and I pay out of pocket. I am still adjusting to the Mounjaro pen. I was on Wegovy for eight months and got used to that pen. It is different. I learned a very valuable lesson. I just learned the hard way.

@AnchorMoments 2 месяца назад

It is a hard lesson to learn! That is why I shared it. I hope someone else will watch the video and learn from my mistake. That gray cap NUST come off FIRST or the pen will be ruined. How are you liking mounjaro so far? Is it working better or worse than Wegovy for you?

@cindysnyder3177 5 месяцев назад

I was told by my doctor the 2.5 milligrams just prepares your system so may not loose as much as you think you will.

@AnchorMoments 5 месяцев назад

My doctor said the same thing. It is to help your body adjust to the medication so you don't get too sick. 5 MG is the first dosage that is at a therapeutic level. Because everyone is different, some people do well on 2.5 and stay on it for a few months before dosing up.

@MothersLovingArmsNursery 4 месяца назад

@@AnchorMoments Remember that it's safer and will last longer to lose weight slowly and gradually plus you will have a lot less saggy skin. If you lose weight too fast your skin will sag. Not everyone can afford or can do plastic surgery. I can not be put under for surgery because of my heart. I have to lose as slow as possible, and remember to put olive oil or avocado oil or even organic sunflower oil all over to help your skin stay flexible, dry skin sags worse.

@judymiller2022 3 месяца назад

I am glad to know I am not the only one who did that exact thing.

The drug company really needs to use GIANT print about how important taking off the gray cap is the VERY FIRST thing you have to do or you will RUIN the shot. You are definitely not alone Judy and it is so stressful when it happens. Though we do learn quickly after we make that mistake.

@Naturalista20 Месяц назад

I sure wish I saw this video before I titrated up on Saturday to 5 mg. I ate half of a bacon cheeseburger with onion straws on a brioche bun. I ate a quarter of the bun. I also ate a 1/4 of a fresh peach tart w/ whipped cream. I was so sick on Sunday and then got the sulfur burps on Monday night. I definitely won’t be doing that again. I will be stocking up on the Tums, Pepcid Complete and Pepto Bismol. I will also stop eating until I’m full and eat until I’m satisfied. Thanks for all of your tips! They are so helpful.

I took my third shot yesterday. I've had a little constipation but that's it. Last night I had horrible stomach pains and diarrhea real bad till early morning. I'm glad I survived the night.

@AnchorMoments 3 месяца назад

@@scruffybehr call your doctor's office and ask which over the counter medication you can take for this side effect. Sounds like maybe Pepto Bismal might help with the diarrhea. For me, Pepcid Complete helps me with extreme stomach pain. Hmmm...give you doctor a call. You don't need to go through this with no meds and some are easy to get over the counter. I had the one horrific night with vomiting and diarrhea and nothing in the house to help me out since I normally do not have stomach issues. Now I take a Tums at the first sign of a stomach ache. If 2 TUMS don't do the trick, I give myself a Pepcid Complete. That usually stops my stomach ache in its tracks. I am so used to getting constipation, that a little diarrhea doesn't last long with me and I roll with it. Definitely ask your doctor your best bets for you. I hope you don't have any more nights like that one. Let me know your updates.

I listened to it when I was on my first week on mounjaro and it is so good! Rosie had some kind of barriatric surgery...not sure which one. It helped but later she discovered mounjaro. She said the combo of tge surgery and 2.5 mounjaro/zepbound, was life changing! She lost a ton of weight and was finally relieved of the food noise and cravings! She never needed a higher dose.

So far I have learned….The day of my shot I keep my food on the light side. Very very light. And the next day too and the day after. Saturday (shot day) AND Sunday and Monday. I have Rolaids, Pepcid, Gatorade, ginger chews and ginger hard candy. Etc… Thank you for your candid comments and helpful suggestions. My sugar has dropped but not so much my weight.

@AnchorMoments 6 месяцев назад

Hi Judy! Thanks for watching and for your tips! 😊The best part of Mounjaro for me too is how much my blood sugar has dropped! I put a picture of my blood sugar chart from last week in my community post area of my channel. It is almost normal! I haven't tried Rolaids yet. That is a good idea. Where did you find the ginger chews and ginger hard candy? I bet that would help! I have ginger tea but haven't seen the chews or hard candy before. How long have you been on Mounjaro?

@Sally-vlado.mitchell 6 месяцев назад

@judybisognj9466 Hi Judy don't give up or get discouraged. I feel the same way. I was on Mognjaro for 4 weeks did my fifth shot yesterday and I felt like nothing was happening and was very discouraged but I kept with it and I'm down 8 lb today my little bit of advice is don't weigh yourself every day you can go crazy. That's what I did but now I'm sticking to every 2 weeks and definitely don't weigh in if you haven't went to the bathroom😂 Good luck on your journey. Hope to hear from you again with some great weight loss and better blood sugar levels have a great day!🙋

I agree with Sally, @judybisognj9466! I wish you both the best! Congrats Sally on your 8 pounds today! Thanks so much for your encouraging words to Judy and to us all! One to two pounds a week is great! Weight is weird and can stall for a bit and then make a drop. (Sometimes it even goes up a little due to salt intake, inflammation, constipation, etc. which isn't fat increase...just a temporary scale number increase.) Consistency with healthy lifestyle habits will win in the end! Here is to us all winning in 2024 with better health! 😀

Great video thanks! So I was on Trulicity before my NP put me on Mounjaro. The pens work exactly the same. I didn't read the instructions (typical man). I removed the gray cap and put it on my stomach and pressed the button. The needle struggled to get out but when it hit my skin it was horribly painful. 😢 I then read the instructions and it said I had to remove the cap and turn it from locked to open. Lesson learned. Where I shot myself got bruised and purple. Read the instructions first...... 😊

Hi, I think I love you. You are so sweet and I feel really bad because you made a couple of mistakes I've been on MJ 5 mg for 4 weeks. I just took my 5th shot today I'm not sure if this is your first shot of MJ 5 mg or your second, but you definitely need to change the way you eat again with this. Milligram the first week I did exactly what you did and was sick but then I realized if I ate a little cleaner things worked out better. I guess I learned the hard way to stay away from red, spicy food bell peppers, onion, garlic or anything really heavy like shepherd's pie or stews I'm sticking more to oatmeal eggs, turkey, bacon baked chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli yogurts cottage cheese. But I'm more than sure you will figure out what to eat. You know your body more better than anyone. I guess we all have to live in there while we are on this journey of what makes us sick and what doesn't lol I think you are amazing and you are doing a great job and I know you're not far from your goal when I started MJ I was 215.8 lb. Today I weighed myself and I am 208.4😮 I was at a little bit of a stall but it's starting to pick up now. Slow is okay I guess

@AnchorMoments 6 месяцев назад

Hi Sally! Thank you so much for your kind words! I did 3 weeks on MJ 2.5 MG and then 5 MG for my 4th shot, and tonight, I injected my 5th shot in my leg at the beginning of the video. You are right that eating healthy food that is not heavy or greasy in small amounts works best when taking Mounjaro. I can do heavy foods only if I eat a small amount. I like all the foods you listed-- especially warm oatmeal with milk and banana slices in it! Yum! Sounds like we both started Mounjaro at the same time! I took my fifth shot today, too!

See how you do on 2.5 mg. Some people lose weight on the lowest dose and stay on it for a few months because they are having success there. Watch and see how your body does on it. When you do titrate up to 5 mg, have some TUMS or Pepcid Complete or Pepto on hand in case you need it. I was not prepared for the stomach upset. Once I got stuff to help with it, I was fine. I am 7 and a half weeks in and I have only thrown up the one time in week #4 when I had absolutely nothing to help me with the stomach upset. I also know now how incredibly important it is to keep my portion sizes not large. I eat until I am satisfied not stuffed. I am loving this medication! It is helping me a ton!

Thanks so much for your videos! I’m also type 2 diabetic and insulin resistant. Today will be my 3rd 2.5mg shot of Mounjaro. I’ve only lost 1.4lbs so far. Not going to lie, I’m rather upset over this little amount in 2 weeks. I’m eating healthy so….but my sugar has been dropping so that’s been fantastic. I wonder if those that lose a minimal amount on 2.5 are diabetic.

@AnchorMoments 5 месяцев назад

HI Donna! I have heard that people who are overweight and not diabetic lose more weight than diabetics on Mounjaro/Zepbound. The 2.5 MG shot is not a therapeutic dose. It is meant to get your body used to the medicine so you have less severe side effects. The 5 GM is the lowest therapeutic dose. Since you are doing well side effects wise, you can ask your doctor to bump you up to 5 gm for your next box of four shots. Some people do well on the 2.5 starter shots and lose significant weight. They can do well by staying on 2.5 gm until it no longer reduces their appetite. Then they will titrate up. It is a little different for each person. Thanks for watching and commenting! I am here for you to cheer you on! Keep me updated on your progress and continue to eat healthy! You got this!

Hi Chela! Welcome to Anchor Moments! Are you still having those side effects? The combo one is the WORST! Fortunately, I have only had it the one time right after I titrated up to 5 mg. I swear by taking some over the counter meds when I get even an inkling of stomach upset and it helps! I also drink lots of water. I haven't had stomach upset for weeks now on 5 mg but will be titrating up to 7.5 mg in a couple of weeks. I will be sure to have my TUMS, Gas X and Pepcid Complete with me at all times the first week I titrate up! I never want that combo again! How long have you been doing Mounjaro or Zepbound?

I do a Mounjaro Monday live each week and if interested, you can watch them on replay on my Mounjaro Journey playlist or catch me live next Monday at 6 pm Pacific/8 pm Central/9 pm Eastern/2 AM UK. 😀

@@AnchorMoments I have been on Mounjaro 5mg since June 10, the incident happened about twice, but I have been eating more protein, and food with fiber. I try to avoid greasy food since I noticed it was what it was causing the "combo" but I'm doing better. I started at 285lbs and now I am currently at 270 lbs. I feel great!

I just started on Zepbound, 2.5 Not feeling much in the way of appetite impression, is that unusual? I'm only on my 2nd dose

@AnchorMoments 5 месяцев назад

2.5 gm is a starter dose to help your body get used to the medication so you don't get extreme side effects. Some people get appetite suppression right out the gate and others do better on the full dose of 5 gm or higher. It might build a little and you'll get more after your next shot. Make sure you are drinking lots of water, eating plenty of protein and I try for 4 servings of fruits and veggies a day. That will help. Message your doctor and ask how many grams of protein and ounces of water that you personally should shoot for. I try for 100 ounces of water and 60 to 100 grams of protein a day. Good luck! Let me know how you are doingnext week!

My insurance will only fill at minimum 21 day mark. How did you get the 5mg while still having 3 left

@AnchorMoments 6 месяцев назад

My first Mounjaro box had four 2.5 MG pens. The first 3 weeks, I injected my pens correctly. The fourth week I forgot to take the cap off and unlocked the pen and pushed the plunger. This ruined that pen. My doctor had just ordered my second box of 4 Mounjaro pens that are 5 MG. I took my first 5 MG pen in place of the last broken 2.5 pen. That is what happened. I moved forward to 5 MG one week early.

@judycutter1321 6 месяцев назад

So I had 3on 2.5 than 5 on week 4 😰😓😤 because cover was on

@AnchorMoments 6 месяцев назад

Yep! I had 3 weeks on 2.5 and then 5 MG on week #4 because I forgot to take the cover off of my 4th 2.5 MG. I already pushed the plunger with the cap on and it sprayed all over the outside of me instead of going into my skin. I was so bummed!

@scruffybehr 4 месяца назад

I'm on week three and I haven't lost a pound. I'm eating a little less but not by much and I crave sweets alot at night. I eat salted sunflower seeds and salted roasted almonds throughout the day is that bad? Frustrating im not losing any weight yet.

@AnchorMoments 4 месяца назад

Are you on 2.5 mg?

@AnchorMoments 4 месяца назад

Nuts and seeds are a healthy snack but very calorie dense. I suggest measuring out one serving of each in a little baggie or a bowl and then once they are gone, wait for the next day for another serving.

@shannonneill227 4 месяца назад

When you inject your thigh, is it your inner thigh or outer thigh?

@AnchorMoments 4 месяца назад

In the mounjaro pamplet it shows the top of the thigh, though you could probably do your inner thigh...you just need to be sure you are putting the needle into your fat and not into your muscle.

@bostoncityofchampions6581 2 месяца назад

Stick to the outside of the thigh, to avoid the blood vessels that populate the inner thigh.

I don't understand. How can anyone want to eat too much food if this is an appetite suppressant??

@AnchorMoments 6 месяцев назад

Hi Barbara! If the meal is extra delicious and a favorite, you can still eat too much. I love shepherd's pie. It is ground beef with veggies in a pie shell with creamy mashed potatoes on top. Very rich and delicious but heavy. I made the mistake of eating too much of it. I can only eat a tiny amount of it and eat it slowly, to not get an extreme stomach upset. It was a hard lesson learned.

@mastinanagel380 5 месяцев назад

I was told that you really need to stay away from certain carbs and sugar. Following a Mediterranean Diet will get the best results.

@AnchorMoments 5 месяцев назад

The Mediterranean Diet with whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, fish and lots of fruits and veggies and olive oil, etc. is very healthy! Have you been following it while on Mounjaro or Zepbound? Are you having success?

@AnchorMoments 5 месяцев назад

Hi Eric! Don't eat too much in one sitting or you can get severe stomach upset and be prepared for stomach upset by having antiacids readily available at home, incase you do end up with severe stomach upset and/or diarrhea. I gave my examples of what happened to me that week and I did not have anything in my home to help me. I shared what I bought at the store that made a difference for me and I am on week #7 now and I haven't thrown up since! Good luck on your journey, Eric! Are you taking Mounjaro or Zepbound currently? If so, for how long? Have you had any problems with side effects?

@AnchorMoments 5 месяцев назад

I also shared about how I ruined one of my shots!

@ericburd 5 месяцев назад

I am taking Mounjaro...I have been giving my injections in my stomach, and the first 2 were alright...however the next two were not great...so I am starting my second month (and I have diabeites so thats why I am taking the Mounjaro, not for weight loss), and they have increased it from 2.5 to 5. I took 45 grams of protein before my shot in the morning and it seemed to help well...but here I am on the second day again 45 grams of protein this morning but feeling very very tired....not hungry at all but will forced myself to eat later this evening...it will probably be some sliced turkey or sardines and some boiled eggs..(YUM YUM!, said sarcasticlly). @@AnchorMoments

@AnchorMoments 5 месяцев назад

Hi Eric! I too am taking mounjaro for my type 2 diabetes but I also need to lose weight as well. Protein is important, but see if your doctor can refer you to a registered dietician for nutritional advice. When I saw a registered dietician after my type 2 diabetes diagnosis, she had me do the plate method. Where one half of your plate is fruits or veggies and one quarter is protein and one quarter is starch--either a starchy veggie like potato or bread or pasta or rice and one tablespoon or so of a healthy fat like olive oil, salad dressing, or avocado. Makes for a more fun dining experience and you will get vitamins, minerals, and fiber too. I couldn't eat just sardines and boiled eggs. Your nutritionist can also let you know about how many calories you need to shoot for as well as how much protein for a man of whatever size you are. My blood sugar right now is AWESOME on mounjaro and I am positive my a1c is going to be a lot lower because I wear a freestyle libre sensor and I can see my numbers 24/7 and they are going way down! I wish you much luck on your journey!
