Moun-June-ers 2024 - New Wardrobes, New Lives and Plodding into Maintenance

[IReallyNeedThisToWork]

New thread as the old one is full. Can’t believe so many of us are still here!!

@daffodilandtulip ouch!! I think realising that this is a physiological problem and not a personal failing has been a game changer for me!

There is nothing to ‘sort out’. I am not ‘weaker’ or ‘lesser’ or ‘whatever’ than slim people. I simply have a medical condition that makes my brain and my body want more food than I need to function!!

Don't get me wrong, I am still very self-critical and way harder on myself than I am on anyone else, but I now know that my obesity is not, and never has been, my fault!

Hopping on to update.

I had a stash of MJ that lasted until mid February and I maintained at between 10st 5 and 10st 7 for probably 6months or so.

Once I ran out I moved to wegovy as I’m in a financially worse position this year so the cost is a re struggle. Didn’t take a break.

And since then have gone up to 11st 2! Because Wegovy has had little effect in terms of suppression so far, or anything. I’ve moved to 1mg this week and have had side effects burps followed by diarrhoea but I don’t feel any suppression at all.

Ill keep trying Wegovy but might end up having to go back to MJ, somehow… just keep hoping costs come down again!

Oh god that sucks - so sorry Jomo. It seems to be a common story sadly

There was a story on the BBC earlier this week about Zepbound prices being slashed in the US (that's their Mounjaro brand name). Hopefully that might mean they'll come down here too soon.

What dose were you doing when you stopped? I've managed to get down to 5mg and now trying 3.75mg so at least it's not as eye watering as 12.5mg was ...
