On it for life then.........😐

[Ihavesomeballs]

I've lost 11kg on Mounjaro. I wasn't obese to start with but I'm tiny, 5ft 1 inch. I'm now just in the healthy weight BMI. I stopped my 5mg dose for 3 weeks as I had to wait till payday to order my next pen. In that time I wasn't eating any more than usual but I put on 2kg. So I guess I'm on it for life......which sucks as it's bloody expensive. Anyone else??

Clearly you don't actually read scientific literature if you think that gut microbes aren't implicated in health outcomes. Enjoy your sulphur burps meantime.

Give me your email address and I'll pass you his details and you can ask him directly.

The trial data, the global health authorities and my own personal experience.

which I agree doesn’t trump your world leading expert snd his top secret research.

honestly I’d just stop, you’re posting some right old nonsense, from no studies to not approved for life and so much shite in between.

😂

Clearly you didn't read my post if you think that's what I wrote. Your comprehension will need to improve before you can attempt to be condescending.

As for sulphur burps, you wish. As do I a bit actually, I used to be an avid belcher as a child, me and DB made a game out of it. Might've been nice to return to an old hobby. Sadly I'm one of the ones who've just glided through the WLI experience!

Apart from the fact that this is a well weird suggestion, surely he shared the information with you when you discussed in depth? He told you who has been doing this research into microbiome and mitochondrial damage caused by Mounjaro and why it's not public knowledge? Surely you didn't just believe a load of old toot because a doctor said so?? Because if that's not what happened you'd be able to say here. But you won't.

I took it for 4 months, dropped from 190lbs to 163lbs. Healthy BMI top end is 165. I stopped in June. I've gained to 169 but I've been stable at 169 for months. I try to keep fit and work out which helps I think but I have a terrible sweet tooth. I'm hoping I can maintain th9ugh.
BTW I'm 5'9" and 14/16 so different parameters.

I had sulphur burps briefly. Before that I had frequent burping in general due to acid reflux. Since taking Mounjaro and since the sulphur burps subsided, I rarely burp at all - all the acid reflux symptoms have lessened. It's life changing. My oesophagus has probably never been so happy.

Yep! It's great being only a couple of pounds above normal BMI.

Feeling excitement about the other potential positive effects too. The preliminary stuff about impact on Alzheimers is something I'm really hopeful about.

Would you be prepared to spend the rest of your life on Keto and fasting? It sounds totally grim.

You didn’t ask me for any address.

Masses of research now on gut microbiome. Look at Professor Tim Spector’s research at Zoe health. Yes it’s a new field. But it’s not nonsense.

From what I can see, it's potential altered mitochondrial function in one person who took Mounjaro AND Ozempic. One of which is licenced for obesity and one which isn't.

Other research shows Mounjaro only can improve mitochondrial function.

Is there a human in history documented taking it for their whole life or the majority of their life?

I said that Mounjaro having a negative impact on the gut microbiome was nonsense.

I actually love that I can eat carbs on the medication so definitely no to keto and fasting .....that's not living.

You need to get this calculated for you again, because there is no way on this earth your maintenance is 1,000. No way. How have you worked that out? Absolutely nobody needs to be eating as little as 1,000 calories a day. Please get it worked out again because you don't need to live like that!

What’s the research on Alzheimers please?

Well hopefully the regulators are cracking down on the lapse pharmacies. I prefer pharmacies that do make you jump through hoops as I then hope I am getting a better quality service.

There is a lot of money to be made in the weight loss sector and it is attracting unscrupulous suppliers.

Can't find citations as on crap phone but some articles summarising.

It's early days yet so I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but it would be so amazing if it pans out. There are trials ongoing.

Because it takes your appetite away, soon as you stop it appetite comes back

Most of us do understand that. In the year I have been on it I have totally overhauled my lifestyle. MJ is a support tool, I have still had to do the hard yards. It is those who had not adapted that will struggle with weight gain afterwards.

And of course there are those poor souls for whom MJ doesn’t work at all.

Has that been established? It def slows down food through the gut. I’m not sure I’ve seen evidence either way

I ended up having a sleeve on June. I feel like I have my life back it's incredible. 80lbs down already and finally enjoying exercise. I highly recommend
