Mounjaro for Diabetes Week 3

Cosplaying as my Pathfinder Character, A Gnome Druid named Aoife.

Week three was an interesting rollercoaster for me. Just when you think you get the hang of it….bang!

I took my shot in the evening once more. Tim was on nightshift, so this was the first time I did it with no one in the house with me in case anything went wrong. Once again, it left my stomach feeling “funny” for lack of a better word. It almost feels like I can feel the medicine going through me. It’s a weird sensation! I had low level nausea, so I went to bed.

Tuesday started up with the diarrhea again. Not bad enough for immodium, just pepto was needed. I also was really tired and when Tim came home at 0630, I actually went back to sleep and didn’t wake up until I was almost late for GP appointment! I also was really cold all day and after eating dinner I felt like I had overeaten. My stomach felt so full. I took more Pepto and went to bed!

Wednesday was an emotional day for me. I don’t know if it was related to the Mounjaro or if it was Perimenopause rearing it’s ugly head, but I cried over really dumb things again. both Wednesday and Thursday I had no appetite and ate very little. Basically, I ate because I knew I needed fuel, but not because I was actually hungry although on Thursday I also cooked a full batch of Hamburger Helper (from a recipe, not boxed). I wound up freezing pretty much all of it, but at least that meant I had more food in the freezer for future meal options.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were just full of the eggy burps. It was pretty rough as Saturday and Sunday we were out! I was afraid about finding food to eat while we were away, so I made a pack-up of cheese, biscuits, apple slices, and a few other snacks for Saturday. We lucked out staying next to a Toby Carvery on Saturday night, so had a roast for dinner. Sunday was rougher as after breakfast in the hotel, I had minimal options for Lunch. I wound up with poutine, but didn’t eat all of it and it still made me feel a little ill later on.

But today brings shot 4 and the last dose of my first pen. Though I had to google an image to make sure I actually had taken 4 doses because there was a bit left in it!
