What I Ate Today on Mounjaro - back for round 3!

[IReallyNeedThisToWork]

With only a tiny bit of space left on the last thread, here’s a new one!

For accountability, inspiration and support, not judgement!

No point typing all this out again. I’ve had exactly the same again today - I’m a creature of habit 😅

Week 52, day 7, 10mg, dose 1 (again)
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon
L: an apple, a pear and some cashews
D: peppered hot smoked salmon fillet, salad, cowboy caviar, a nectarine
S: double gold caramel billionaire magnum! It was AMAZING!!
Usual supplements, 3 litres of water, green tea, CBD drink, yogi tea

@IReallyNeedThisToWork - magnum billionaires are my absolute favourite!!!

W5, D5, 5mgs (all the 5s lol)
SW 77 kgs, CW 73.5 kgs TW 57kgs
B: coffee with semi skimmed milk, clear protein drink
L: Greek yogurt, strawberries, blueberries and chia seeds
D: chicken casserole, peas, carrots, broccoli
S: x2 rice cakes with scrape of peanut butter
2l water, 3 peppermint tea, glass slimline tonic

@FoxRedPuppy I'm definitely not. I struggle to drink anything, always have, I am drinking a 1l bottle of clear protein water and a glass of squash a day. This is a great improvement on the coffee and fizzy drinks I was only drinking before!

I might try movicol, I'll ask my GP. Thanks

You can buy movicol from pharmacies as well. It does require you to drink more. Essentially it helps you absorb more water into your stool, which then softens it. Sorry if that’s TMI!

Really helpful thank you!

Feeling it this morning and have a very unhappy stomach 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh dear @IReallyNeedThisToWork hope you're ok.

W5, D1

B - greek yogurt with chia seeds and honey

L - cottage cheese on salt and vinegar rice cakes, with Everything But The Bagel on top - this is my current food obsession

D - Chicken caesar salad

Snack - soreen thing with butter

Drinks - only 2 coffees. No wonder I'm so constipated! I never seem to remember to drink anything til the evening and then I'm so full I can't get it down me.

Sorry @PearlsPearl I've been on a work thing and away from the thread! I felt absolutely fine, tbf what I ate was 600 calories and about half of what I'd have previously had. Swapping out fries for nuggets is fewer calories and way more protein too. It's not something I'd do regularly but as an occasional treat I now have a go to order that is still within my calorie goal.

Week 16 - 5mg

Brunch - mushroom omelette and a latte

Dinner - chilli con carne with a small amount of rice

S - couple of chicken satay bites, grapes and a protein water.

How are people managing to eat 3 meals a day? Looking at these posts I’m really worried I’m not eating enough. But I feel so full that I feel sick everytime I eat and have to lie down after! I’m in wk 2 on 2.5. This is what I ate today:
B - two boiled eggs & half an avocado
L - small greek salad with half an avocado & half a pack of smoked salmon
D - nothing
Two cups of tea with full fat milk, lots of water.
I’m not counting calories but wondering if this is enough? Does anyone know if Huel is any good for getting nutrients & extra calories in?

@purpledaze24 welcome! Don’t panic, the suppression will ease over time. Little and often is probably a good way to do things. If you feel fine and have plenty of energy, low calories won’t do you any harm short term. You may want to invest in a good multi vit and watch your fibre intake to prevent any toilet issues. What you may find is that suppression eases as the week goes on which case you could eat more.

What you have listed sounds healthy and filling with plenty of good fats. I personally wouldn’t drink Huel as I aim to avoid upfs as far as I can and I also hate the texture of shakes!

Yesterday - week 53, day 5, 10mg, dose 2.2
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon
L: buttered bagel, an apple and a pear
D: chicken stir fry
S: honey roast cashews
Usual supplements, 3 litres of water, green tea, yogi tea, CBD drink, electrolytes
(hungover and tired!)

Today - week 53, day 6, 10mg, dose 2.2
B: as above
D: steak and salad
S: an apple, salt and pepper cashews
Usual supplements, green tea, 3 litres of water, CBD drink, yogi tea

@purpledaze24 it's because you're still very new to taking Mounjaro.... I was exactly the same in the first few weeks. I remember not being able to finish a bowl of yoghurt and berries or only having half a tin of soup and feeling full.

As @IReallyNeedThisToWork says....just concentrate on getting something into your system and what you have eaten seems nutritious. You'll gradually find suppression changes a bit. I'm starting my 17th week tomorrow and am still on 5mg so I can eat a meal no problem.
