Holiday take or skip a week

[Waymarked7]

Hi all, advice please

I'm on 5mg, this will be my 4th week on this dose. Had few side effects so far. Except this week I have had some feelings of nausea and some loose bowel movements. Am on holiday from tomorrow and due to take next dose a day early, to avoid taking it with us.

Would you take as normal tomorrow and hope it's been a bug or would you skip a week?

If you would skip, has anyone done this? How has it been?

TIA

I’d not skip, I see this as a long term health change. But many did for Xmas.

If you’re worried about side effects I’d take half a dose perhaps 2.5 mg. You don’t want to spoil your holiday - but it’s good to keep some ticking over in your system.

I wouldn’t skip, what about doing a half dose instead?

Oh I hadn't thought of half a dose, that's quite tempting. Would really like to get over this sickly feeling. May try 2.5mg and see if that's better as I have been forcing myself to eat most days.

Like today, had 3 slices of pizza for lunch with the kids as they have been off due to the weather. But now can't face eating dinner. But I can't only eat 3 slices of pizza all day...

I’d take 2.5mg .

Yes you can - three slices of pizza whilst not nutritionally brilliant is going to meet your fuel needs so you probably won't feel hungry. The important thing on Mounjaro is to use the limited hunger that you have to make better choices from a nutritional needs.

You should make healthier choices, I’d feel unwell if I ate 3 slices of pizza and nothing else , you need to eat clean,and get your protein in,

Yes Yes I know about all of this and generally eat fine but was off sick, trying to get ready for holiday and looking after my kids unexpectedly so let's not judge too much!

Due to delivery times etc over Christmas i skipped 2 weeks. I didn't gain any weight - we did have a city break so walked loads over new year - but didn't lose any either. 1 week, in the grand scheme of things, really won't make much difference.
