Hello all. I’m needing some advice or help. I had the sleeve December 21 and had lost 80 lbs. I still had 10-15 to get to my goals so I started mounjaro in may. I’ve done great so far and have lost 12 lbs! We increased my dose to 5mg on Friday; and I’ve been an absolute mess. My body feels insanely exhausted. Walking up stairs I’m huffing and puffing. I can’t workout. I’m exhausted. My anxiety is through the roof. I also am getting married next month as well as moving 3 days after the wedding. I know I have a lot going on and I’ve been truly ok with not being overwhelmed. Friday we increased the dose and I’ve just felt so odd. My body feels like it’s a million lbs heavy and is so hard to do anything cuz it’s so heavy. I feel nauseous sometimes and most foods if not all foods make me feel repulsed. Nothing sounds good. Literally nothing. I’m barely eating. It’s been bad. I just don’t know if this is typical with increasing doses and if there’s anything I can do to feel better? I’m deff decreasing back to 2.5 or even stopping completely. I don’t wanna risk feeling this way. I’ve been just hysterically crying with anxiety and body weakness all day and yesterday. Does anyone have anything similar they’ve experienced??? Thank you!!!

Thank you so so much. That was so sweet of you. I will be decreasing or just getting off of it. Just sucks cuz I already paid for the meds too. Oh well. Not worth feeling like ass!!

grilled veggies on a stick! eggplant, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, sweet onion, carrots, portobello, sprinkle with some olive oil and spices and grill to caramelization! eat em off the stick, or toss em in a bowl with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar/glaze and some buratta or fresh mozzarella or firm ricotta and go to town. #yumYUMyum if you want a bit more protein, grill up some shrimp as well, or, my own personal fave: add some anchovies if eating out of a bowl (yes, i realize anchovies are not for everyone 😜) (yikes...now i just hyped myself into going grocery shopping for some veggies to grill...)

Hi all! I had surgery on 6/13 sleeve to bypass revision. I was struggling with the liquid diet and I had some fish (cod & salmon) in small portions but only 10/11 days post op. I feel an aching pain in my left side all of a sudden but am passing stool so I dont think a blockage. I didnt lose any weight on my 2 week marker, I remained the same. Did I damage something? Also having a hard time knowing when I am full. Good luck to everyone out there

Since patches works for some but not others, you will know on your first post-op blood tests. You can make adjustments from there. I added the high ADEK to bring up a low vitamin A but it was never "deficient" per se. It's like a simple insurance policy that will cover those four important vitamins. I hope they will work for you because it is so so easy. I hate big pills too lol .

I'm allowed to take them, just not regularly. My clinic says to take a reflux tablet at the same time.

Sounds like side effects, check out Reddit, tons of posts about it. Hope you feel better soon.

I'd be surprised if they weren't accepting of a 1-2 lb gain (if that's all it is) since people's weight fluctuates every day (in fact, MORE than once a day!). But if you're really worried, you could always do low sodium or low carb for a few days before you're weighed since either of those would rid you of excess water (which is what usually causes those temporary fluctuations).

neither surgery will help with food addiction - they just restrict how much you can eat at one sitting. For food addictions, most people work with a therapist who's familiar with eating disorders.

I would start calling bariatric doctors in your new location and ask the questions. Different doctors have different requirements. For me, my doctor saw me at 3 wk, 6wk, and will again at 6 months and at a year, as well as and every year after. I am also required 6 month labs, year labs, and labs every year after.
