I am actually very sad and depressed since I stopped Mounjaro, my last shot was 38 days ago, I started at 147kg (324lbs) and my lowest was at 124kg (273lbs), I'm 184M, I've been obese all my life and actually starting GLP was the way I got to actually enjoy food without worrying about weight.
My blood tests are all good so I'm not covered by insurance for Mounjaro so I have to buy it out of my pocket which was painful but I felt like whatever it costs, if it's gonna make me lose weight I'll pay for it.
I titrated up to 10mg, I used Mounjaro for 11 months overall, For the first months I felt like I was paying for the kilos dropping but then it started slowing up until the last 3 or 4 months where it felt like I was paying for maintenance not for weight loss.
It was my fault though, when I went on Mounjaro, I didn't create structure for myself, enjoyed all the foods I liked and I was mesmerized by the fact that I get to eat everything I like and still lose weight, so I was basically on autopilot.
Eventually, the fact that I was paying for maintenance weighed on me mentally and I decided to stop Mounjaro, I contacted my doctor to see if there's anything I can do or any plan I can follow but they didn't reply, so I just stopped Mounjaro cold turkey.
Now I'm already 3 / 4 kilos back up and with an appetite so big I could devour everything in my sight.
I tried to follow a protein heavy diet right when I stopped Mounjaro and I actually fared well on it but hunger hit me like a train like 2 weeks ago, the negative mental state is probably affecting the spiral of hunger too.
This post is a rant but at the same time, I need advice from people who have a similar story to mine, I don't want to gain it all back :(
Going back on Mounjaro out of pocket is also not an option for me sadly because it feels like I'm just delaying the inevitable, so I have to face this sooner or later, and I'm choosing to do it now.
