Worried about pancreatitis on Munjaro / Wegovy

[bbqprincess]

I've been taking MJ for 5 weeks now and I'm absolutely fine, I literally have had no side effects at all. So I'm really pleased.

But I do worry I could get pancreatitis, it really freaks me out and this worry did initially stop me from trying it / Wegovy and co.

How do you deal with the worry ?

I just can't help but feel like I'm being irresponsible, as I want to stay well for my kids.

Am I overestimating the risk ? I asked my GP if it could just happen at any time and she said, yes. So that didn't help my worries !

I think if you focus on what obesity does to our bodies then pancreatitis is really the last of your worries . I've had a massive loss over a year on these jabs . Did six months on them and six months then without them, losing the weight under my own steam. Pancreatitis is worse with fatty foods too so just avoid them. I've had none of the other side effects either OP so I feel very lucky

@toomanyjobsforonewoman how much have you lost on the jab? I'm looking at trying it but have a lot to lose. Curious about where I could br in 6mnths. Sounds like you've done great _ did the jab success help motivate you to continue without it do you think?

Turtle runner I've lost 8stone 6lb to date . I've gone from a size 28-30 down to a 12 ( even tho I have a shit tonne of loose skin now ) I've seen rated back on mounjaro to get me in my healthy bmi which is only a few lb then I'm done. The six months on it almost reset my eating which then turned into habit.
It seems extreme but I only eat around 800calories and intermittent fasting too .
It has been completely life changing for me . Please trying not to worry, if you get pancreatitis just stop using it, but think of what obesity is doing to us .
