Five Months on Mounjaro
It’s been five months of Mounjaro, and month one (well, half month) of 10mg. I don’t actually see Fiona until August for another HBA1C test to see where we’re at, but my AM glucose has seen improvements recently. Some mornings are still over 7mmol, but overall I seem to be getting it lower. I’m crossing my fingers that in August my HBA1c is improved enough that we stick with 10, but like I’ve always said, if I need to move up to the next dose, I will.
However, the one thing that I’ve been absolutely plagued with this month has been constipation once again. It seems that if I don’t take the prescribed laxative every other day, I wind up with bad constipation. I’m hoping that as I still am figuring out what to eat, this will start to taper off, too. Because honestly? I’m still learning, even five months in. Each dose change comes with new challenges of trying to figure out what I want to eat, what I can eat, and what I should eat. I’ve added a teaspoon of Psyllium to my morning yogurt and Weetabix, which is supposed to help with the constipation, too.
I don’t have any updates on weight since I didn’t see Fiona and I haven’t yet taken my monthly measurements…but I feel smaller, if that makes sense?
At any rate, I’m just trucking along. August will mark 6 months and hopefully things will start to settle.
