Spacing out the doses for longer - holiday

Has anyone done this? I’m on the second month of 2.5mg, doing very well and actually worried about going too fast despite forcing myself to eat (also exercising).

Due to go on holiday next weekend and am mulling over what to do… I don’t really get drunk but would like to have a couple of crisp rosés and worried about feeling horrendous. I have not had side effects but I’m eating super clean and worried a croissants and pasta will be my undoing!

Driving to France so can keep the pen in the cool box so no worries there.

I’d carry on as normal. I’ve not had any bad effects from alcohol or rich food. Which I’ve still had in moderation.

I would (and have on several holidays!) just carry on as usual. You should be fine on a couple of glasses of rose and just clear small portions of what you fancy.

I really wouldn’t mess about with dosing for fear of something that is unlikely to happen!

I would keep taking it but for me it was life changing from day one.

I will be jabbing 2 days late when returning from hols as it will be a new pen I don’t want to take it (doing a 6 hour drive) . You will still have good amount of MJ so the affect will still be there even if you don’t decide to jab

however I drink on MJ and no issues although I must say that sometimes it hits me faster and sometimes not at all, I can get hangover from a glass and another not from 3-4 . I do make sure though that for every glass of wine I have I have 2 glasses of water with it (so I don’t get dehydrated)

a week hols might put you at a stall or maybe a slight increase but it will be temp and go down again quickly . MJ is our tool and learning to live with a new lifestyle including enjoying holiday and get back on track when returning is part of that

i did this accidentally by leaving my meds at home. Was nice not to have that post jab day effect whilst away. I was able to eat a full portion of takeaway on the last day of our holiday, something I’ve not managed since starting mounjaro.

didn’t lose any weight on holiday. Jabbed the day we got back and lost a kilo in the next 48 hours! Having fo e it this way I think I might do it like that again another time - it was very good to be able to just enjoy the holiday. Not going wild but not burping all over everyone either. Did t drink but I don’t much anyway so no change there.

jabbed as soon as I got back and I will admit this week has been a bit weird - wanting to snack more than usual - but I am still losing overall so I hope it’ll sort itself out and I’ll be back to decent suppression by my next dose.

company wanted me to take my missed dose three days late but then take my next dose four days after that to get back on track. But I think I’ll just do 7 days from my last one and change my jab day as that actually suits me better now I know what to expect on my post jab days. ^^
