Just started Mounjaro two months ago. Early days but the food noise reduction is already noticeable. Down 12 lbs. Reading everyone's longer-term stories keeps me motivated for the journey ahead.

Does anyone else stay at 0.5mg longer than the standard schedule?
I stayed on 2.5 for a while myself before bumping up, mostly because the appetite control was still solid and I didn't see a reason to rush. Not on 0.5 though, so I get why you'd want to sit tight
Need a protein idea for right now, appetite is gone
Cottage cheese with a little everything bagel seasoning has been my thing on days like that, no cooking and it goes down slow. Cold shrimp is a good call too, I keep a bag in the freezer for the reall…

St Paul here so I'm just jealous of the standing orders, but I do the boring version and ring the same chemist a week before I need it. Has worked so far, though I've only been at this a couple months…
Hello I am new!
I was deep in the peptide rabbit hole before Mounjaro too, still have a stash of things I never finished. HGH is the one I keep circling back to but haven't pulled the trigger on yet.
Todays vetting checklist, adding a few new points
My own rule is simpler. If they can't answer a basic question in plain english without hedging or copying the same blurb twice, i move on
