Taking a break

[Sux2buthen]

I’ve been on Mounjaro since July and I’ve managed to stay in 2.5 comfortably. In total 3 stone I’d off. The last half a stone has been purely due to a tooth problem over the last couple of weeks.
However I’ve had some sharp stomach pains the last couple of days. It seems to have stopped today; coincidentally my tooth also feels a bit better today but the pain made me so worried about my gallbladder/ pancreas and all that that I’ve decided to take a little break. Or use 2 weekly instead of weekly.
The fear I’ve lost weight too quickly and damaged myself outweighs the satisfaction of weight loss until I know I’m ok.
Has anyone else taken a break?

I've been on it a year but I've only lost 1lb a week, I am 5ft 3 started at 13st bmi 32.4 and prediabetic so weight loss was slower until my blood sugars were resolved and metabolism increased but I'm at bmi 22.8 9st 2.8lbs now. To be fair I've not had side effects other than nausea when moving up a dose and I've been upto 15mg, that was far too strong for me.
Have you been tracking your food as to lose that quickly, your food intake must have been slow which is concerning with muscle loss. Smart scales would show fat v muscle loss and other factors like hydration etc and total body fat. Higher protein diet is important for muscle maintenance and best not to drop too low on calories, eat little and often. My muscle rate was 43.5% when I started and is now 38% so still good for a female. If you want to take a break that's upto you, you can take it every 10 days if you'd prefer. Have you reached your goal? You could also move to wegovy to see if that's better as most find it weaker in suppression etc
