I just sent Eli Lilly customer service a note saying if they can’t service the customers they already have with Mounjaro they should get their daily commercials off my TV! Every 4 weeks it’s a struggle to find it. Right now my Mail Order supplier is out, as are my local pharmacies. I’m good for about another 10 days and then that’s it. I am T2 and have drastically reduced all of my meds over my 17 week Mounjaro journey and would reall hate to go back to them. Sorry, just had to vent and I don’t know if my slender hubby can handle one more MJ discussion.

Inputs, Opinions, Your Experience Wanted

Question

Hello everyone. I have been a lurker for a few weeks and rec'd a prescription for MJ this morning from my doctor to help with weight loss.

I am here on the verge of tears...I feel like I am heading towards an absolute mental breakdown going back and forth on what to do.

I was someone who was always around 140, 5'4, most of my adult life. It took being conscious to stay at that weight but it was manageable. I lost my Dad in 2017 and my father-in-law was diagnosed with brain cancer the following year. Between losing both of them, changing jobs, the pandemic, etc. and I was just over 200lbs.

I did Ideal Protein for nearly six months and got down to 150lbs again but the minute I put a carb in my mouth, I was gaining weight. All of it has came back and then some. I can feel it. I have not been on the scale and I can't bring myself to do it.

Should I fill this prescription and try again? I am so depressed. I look in the mirror and don't see myself. I feel like I never will be again. I am so scared. I quit smoking a month ago too and I am afraid I will continue to gain. The food noise is so real coupled with the will power it takes to quit smoking is so challenging.

Anyone here been in a similar boat? All I want is to weigh 135-140 again.

Been exactly one month

Weight loss

It’s been exactly one month since I started MJ. I was on 2.5 for 4 shots and then took my first 5mg this past Friday.

I am down 13 pounds! I literally cannot believe it. I feel so confident.

For side effects, I haven’t experienced any lethargy, headaches, or stomach issues.

The only thing I’m starting to notice is that the day after the shot (so, Saturdays) I am IRRITABLE. Does anyone else experience this? I’m darn unpleasant to be around, or even in my own head.

This last Saturday I reached my breaking point and told my family I needed alone time and went and sat in a park for an hour and just was present and focused on calming. That helped and I was able to reset the day, but dang! The irritability is real.

I’ll take it though for this literal miracle weight loss.
