SUPPLEMENTS FOR A MONJARO AND HRT USER

HELLO ALL, I've BEEN ON MONJARO FOR ABOUT 19 MONTHS SO I AM ALWAYS WITHOUT AN APPETITE. I AM ALSO TAKING HRT MEDS. I AM CURIOUIS, WHAT'S THE MIX OF SUPPLEMENTS HELPING YOUFILL IN THE NUTRITION, AND MINERAL GAPS??

With almost no appetite I lean on a daily protein shake plus a multivitamin, magnesium at night, and vitamin D since I barely eat enough whole foods to cover the basics. My bloodwork at my last checkup showed everything in range doing that, so my doctor was happy with the combo. Curious if others on HRT here noticed anything different in what they needed.

I'm on tirzepatide too and barely getting 800-900 calories some days, so I do a protein shake, D3 with K2, and an iron-containing multivitamin since my labs came back a touch low there. Magnesium glycinate helps me sleep, which HRT was messing with for me pre-tirz anyway. Worth asking your doctor for labs before adding much else, that's what I did.

Down 55 lbs here and my appetite never really came back either, so I stopped trying to fix meals and just treat protein powder, D3, and a calcium/magnesium combo as my baseline. One thing I'd flag for HRT specifically: mine seemed to affect how I absorb things, so getting a full panel before buying anything was worth it more than any single supplement. Electrolytes also made a bigger difference for me on low-calorie weeks than I expected.

Down 35 lbs on tirz myself and the appetite thing never really left either. What saved my labs was a protein shake with collagen mixed in plus calcium and D, since HRT had my bone density on my mind. Magnesium glycinate at night was the only other thing that earned a permanent spot.

Down 60 lbs here too and the appetite never bounced back either. My keeper list ended up being a morning protein shake, D3, and magnesium at night -- the magnesium more for sleep than anything. Getting baseline labs first saved me from guessing.

Only 20 lbs in myself so the appetite suppression hits me less than you long-timers, but I noticed low iron showed up on labs once I stopped eating red meat. Adding a daily B complex plus whatever my panel flagged made more sense than guessing at a whole shelf of pills. Worth asking for the panel like others said, especially with HRT in the mix.

40 lbs down and still barely hungry here too. The labs-first approach is the way -- mine flagged low B12 and ferritin, so now it's just a protein shake, D3, and the two things my panel actually called out. Guessing at a whole shelf of pills never worked for me.

19 months in and still no appetite is wild to me at only 15 lbs down -- makes sense you'd want backup nutrition. A protein shake on the days food feels impossible plus labs to see what's actually low worked way better for me than guessing. I'd mention the HRT to whoever reads your panel results since it could shift what matters.

58 lbs down here and barely eating some days, so I get it. My routine ended up small after bloodwork: protein shake, D3, magnesium, plus iron my panel flagged low. Getting the labs done first saved me money and worry compared to my old pile of random vitamins.

77 lbs down on Zepbound and I basically live on a daily protein shake because food just doesn't happen some days. Bloodwork was the game changer for me too -- mine flagged low D and B12, so that plus magnesium is the whole shelf now. No idea how HRT factors in, but echoing that it's worth flagging to whoever reviews your labs.

At 29 lbs down I'm in the barely-eating club too. Labs pointed me to D3 and magnesium, and I add a protein shake when solid food just isn't happening -- way cheaper than the vitamin pile I used to buy.

Down 49 myself and the barely-eating thing never fully went away either. I skipped the guesswork and just asked my doctor to run a panel before buying anything, then added D and a protein shake for the gaps it found. With HRT in your mix I'd definitely want whoever manages that to see the labs too.

Only 20 lbs in myself but the no-appetite thing is real, and my answer so far is boring: labs first, then a daily protein shake and D3 because mine came back low. I'd loop in whoever handles your HRT too since estrogen can mess with some of the same stuff, like thyroid and iron numbers.

I'm 23 lbs in and living on protein shakes some days too, so no magic stack from me yet. What actually helped was getting bloodwork before buying anything, since my low B12 surprised me. With HRT layered on top, having your prescriber see those numbers seems like the smart move.

I'm only 11 lbs into Wegovy so way earlier than you, but the tiny-appetite days hit me too. My one addition to the labs-first crowd: iron and ferritin specifically, since mine dipped even eating "fine" pre-shot.

One day at a time, and it shows. Look how far you've come.

Did switching pharmacies ever cause a gap for you? What's your go-to snack on a manageable day?

44 lbs down here and the low-appetite stretch is real, especially on HRT where bone and muscle support matter more. I lean on a daily protein shake, calcium with D, and magnesium at night, but I only added things after my annual labs flagged what was actually low. Worth asking your doctor to check B12, D, and ferritin so you're not guessing.
