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!

Week 59, day 7, 7.5mg, dose 2.2
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon
D: chicken and ricotta meatballs in tomato and basil sauce with mixed beans and spinach, an apple
S: salt and pepper cashews, a pear
Usual supplements, green tea, 2 litres of water, clear whey, yogi tea

B - black coffee

L - ryvita topped with hummus, kimchi and mixed seeds

D - one of those viral frozen gyoza curry bakes. It was lovely!

@GameOfJones Gyoza curry bake?!?!? Details please?

B: decaf black coffee

L: Red lentil dal with courgettes.

S: handful of DS’s crisps, bit of cheese

Forgot to eat dinner, had a protein yogurt just before bed 😬

@IReallyNeedThisToWork like this but with a couple of spoonfuls of thai red curry paste mixed in with the coconut milk. There are loads of different versions doing the rounds on my socials at the minute but essentially you're just mixing up a sauce, adding frozen gyoza then cooking in the oven. I baked at 200c for 15 mins covered with foil then 15 mins uncovered. I would definitely recommend it!

L: leftover chicken and coconut curry

D: cod with a chorizo crust, ratatouille salad, edamame and radish salad, plus a bit of random sweetcorn that needed eating. Protein yogurt with a kiwi.

@GameOfJones oohhh, thanks! Does look yum!

Week 60 (how?!?), day 1, 7.5mg, dose 3.2

L: poached chicken with ratatouille salad, cold new potatoes, leftover guacamole and sauerkraut

D: breast of lamb with a spicy anchovy rub, roasted cauliflower and aubergine, tomato salad

Way over calories for the day I expect, but celebrating starting maintenance. (Maintenance phase will be just the 1 day at this rate.)

Thanks @IReallyNeedThisToWork
Are you maintaining? How’s it going?

@gimmemounjaro I am indeed and hmmm, not entirely successful so far! 😂

Have come down to 7.5 and am trying to eat more but still slowly losing. Am now 9lbs under my goal weight but not that upset as I’ve actually finally lost almost all of my belly fat! Can’t afford to lose more though as my ribs and breastbone (who knew I even had them?!? ) are becoming visible. Might give 5mg another whirl soon…

Watching and learning

Ooh that’s something else to worry about @IReallyNeedThisToWork - I am so preoccupied with not putting all the weight back on again, I hadn’t thought about not being able to stop losing, that’s wild. My next injection will be 7.5mg and I’m hoping to get a fair bit lower to get rid of some side effects. If I can manage without any MJ at all, so much the better.

@gimmemounjaro it really is a ‘thing’! Highly recommend ‘mounjaromaintenanceuk’ on Reddit for loads of info (and angst!😂)

Week 60, day 5, 7.5mg, dose 3.2
B: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon
L: Stilton and oatcakes, an apple
D: coconut and coriander salmon, new potatoes, broccoli
S: 2 nectarines, an apple, small handful of honey roast cashews, 2 slices of chorizo
Usual supplements, 2 litres of water, green tea, yogi tea, glass of cava

Really, really snacky today 😫

@IReallyNeedThisToWork loving the sound of coconut salmon! I keep meaning to ask you what does your dosage mean eg 3.2 ?

Here's yesterday's...
Week 21 day 4.
7.5mg, 32 pound down

B...I was away for the weekend so breakfast was a pain au chocolate 😂

L....chicken and roasted vegetable flatbread, ate about half.

D... (Home) Spaghetti Bolognese. Ate about half.

B - all bran
D - chicken and veg stir fry

Snacks: raspberries, mango, low cal jelly and far too much chocolate. Really struggling with food noise still. Starting 5mg on Thurs so hoping the bigger dose will help.

@Fatmumslim01 it’s a fast800 recipe. Salmon baked in coconut milk, coriander, garlic, ginger, chilli and garam masala. One of my absolute favourites! I shove it all in the airfryer😁

My dosage means it’s the 3rd dose of 7.5mg for the second time as I work my way down in maintenance. It’s the only way I could think of to remind myself’ 😂

B: protein yogurt with kiwi and strawberries

L: chilli, square of dark choc

D: sausage, black bean and cavolo nero casserole, apple with peanut butter. Some completely unnecessary cheese 🐭🧀

@gimmemounjaro I LOVE completely unnecessary cheese!! That was my Stilton yesterday!

@gimmemounjaro actually, been thinking about and realised that all cheese is actually completely necessary! 😁

Week 60, day 5, 7.5mg, dose 3.2
B: sourdough toast and cream cheese
L: scrambled egg, feta, asparagus, smoked salmon
D: chicken stirfry with udon noodles, 2 nectarines
S: Tesco salted caramel choc ice, an apple, bite of a fibre bar but it was nasty!
Usual supplements, green tea, 4 litres of water (hot day!), 0% spiced rum, yogi tea
