Wow, well done @CrazyGoatLady - you must be thrilled!
@20bloodypounds - I read that thread earlier too, definitely one to watch. I have always been worried about the 'piling it back on' factor too - but then, I just tell myself right now that worrying about how to stay at a healthy weight will be a nicer problem to have - and not one I could realistically have contemplated having pre mounjaro! I'd rather get the weight off, and run the risk of gaining some back than stay where I was, or most likely keep going up from there!
I'm already with oushk and I'm most likely going to avail of one of their maintenance options, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I do think I've got used to eating far less, and far less often, now - even when I feel like I've seriously overdone it as in last week, I'm still tracking and when I look at what I've written down I can see objectively it's not that much after all. I'm definitely going to keep up with tracking - maybe not as obsessively as I did in the early days, but keeping a general eye on calories and protein at least.
One thing that worries me is the fatigue and general low feeling - especially when I'm getting the side effects as now, but in general really. It ties in with the mounjaro, could also be post-covid fatigue as I has a really nasty strain a few weeks back and never been quite right since, and could also be peri-menopause/ the constant bleeding I've got going on. I know that I need to build up the exercise but if anything, it's less likely at the moment that pre mj (I wasn't actually doing too bad on that front before the jabs believe it or not!). I really need to work out a way to increase it, I had plans to start doing some youtube workout videos I'd previously enjoyed, managed a shorter one yesterday but there's not a chance today - I'm knackered after being up half the night, still feel sick, still have awful stomach cramps and haven't been able to eat anything yet today.
On that note - thank you @MargoLivebetter and @Blondeshavemorefun - it is pretty miserable today! I haven't tried anti sickness meds, mostly because the sickness always seems to come after the toilet side of things, and feels very much like an IBS flare up rather than normal sickness/ nausea if that makes sense? I get the cramps and the poo struggles, then my stomach is so churned up that I end up being sick. This has happened to me pre-MJ too, just a really bad IBS flare up, and I don't think MJ helps with that side of things. I'd thought that I had it under control again, but if it doesn't settle I may have to rethink whether I can continue - or certainly whether I'll be able to move up to any higher doses.
