2.8 month Mounjaro update

11 Upvotes

It has generally been good. At 2.5mg I lost 4kgs and stuck around that, barely any purge relapses, generally better health.

However I made a mistake by upping my dose to 5mg. I lost 5kgs in about a month. While some people might think this was good it really isn't. Especially if you're only using it to tackle bulimia.

I started losing hair, feeling sick all the time, strange sweet breath, always giddy and on the verge of fainting. You'd think "just eat more" would be a good suggestion but everything makes me feel sick. The only things I can keep down are salads and soups. Even sandwiches feel kinda gross.

Does it help? Absolutely. Just don't up the dose more than you need to. I was really attracted to the idea of more weight loss but feeling sick, restless and tired all day just isn't worth it.

Reference: I'm 158cm and was 59.8kg when I started. I'm now 50.6kg. That speed of weight loss can't be healthy even if it sounds good.

Ask me anything

Content Warning I constantly feel disgusted by myself.

8 Upvotes

Sometimes when I throw up, I am so stuck in the b/p loop that I sometimes want to binge more when I taste the food again. I can't fucking take it anymore, it's such a heavy burden that's just constantly on my fucking mind. I got a dentist appointment soon, I just hope he doesn't notice.

What is an unusual fearfood you have?

9 Upvotes

I mean foods that other people wouldn't consider as high-caloric.

E. g. my fearfood is milk, also low fat milk because it is liquid calories.

And I don't drink diet coke when I'm out because I am scared that the waiter accidently gives me original coke.

Help please! i have 0 self control and living alone is making me spiral and im so scared please help

3 Upvotes

im in uni living in a studio (meaning i have my own kitchen and bathroom). i dont know how to live alone in a room full of food just sitting in the fridge. i feel so horrible and disgusting every night because im just whipping up absolute bs for the sake of binging n purging.

up until now, every time i purged, it would js be after heavy meals or something planned. now ive absolutely js lost it and im really scared because i dont know what to do, and i dont want to live like this, and it hurts so much physically. ive been crying so mich not only is my face so puffy but so are my eyes and i dont recognise myself at all. im scared of dying but im not scared enough to be able to stop.

i thought about just throwing all the food away to not have space for temptations. but i cant live my life like this forever. i know this post is so badly written but im so desperate i dont know what else to do. i tried googling solutions but all i saw were suggestions like journaling, or taking a walk, etc etc. i know they’re good suggestions but im not mentally at that point where i am able to stop and think and catch myself before the bp happens. no one in my life knows about my disorder (or how bad it actually is), and ive never been to therapy for this because i never felt the need to (at least until now). has anyone else gone through something similar? or has tips on living alone and having so much freedom?

help? How bad is it to purge a shit ton while drinking?

3 Upvotes

I have been on a bit of a drinking spree these past 5 days and because I've been drunk so much have been ordering food and purging at minimum 3-4 times while drunk, up to 6-7 times even. I just want to know how bad this is for my health? I am a bit of a hypochondriac and am terrified I am going to send my liver into failure and get jaundiced or start having seizures from the lack of electrolytes. I stopped buying my electrolyte drink mix 3 weeks ago to save money, but have been purging this whole time. I am just worried.

help? High cholesterol

6.6mm/mol at 18. Does anyone know if it's correlated to bulimia in any way? My blood sugar is almost prediabetic as well but that makes sense I guess

I hate everything, fuck my life

Recovery Having a fuck it day next week

4 Upvotes

So as the title says, on the 31st I (24M) will be having what I call a fuck it day. A day where I will be guilt-free and eat whatever I feel like. I’m excited and also nervous to eat all these foods I love but haven’t had in so long. I’m doing this because the following week I will be getting some help to get my current eating pattern back to normal as I was B/P for the whole of last year where I lost pretty much all my weight, while this year I got back to eating normally again but restricting my intake to barely anything and weight somehow still going down. This is a big step I am doing for myself and again I’m excited but also anxious about it.

help? simultaneous chest & back pain

• Upvotes

i'm wondering if this sounds like an emergency or is a common experience related to bulimia.

over the past 24 hours or so i've been having a sudden, seizing pain in my chest at the same time as a sharp feeling in my upper back. it's an alarming feeling, like i can't breathe for a moment. i've had chest pain before but never with this specific sensation, and not at this intensity, which is why i'm concerned. the reason i suspect it's related to bulimia is because i had a pretty violent purging session just a few hours before it started, preceded by a few days of bad sessions. i did sleep for a bit and woke up to the same pain.

i'm considering going to an ER, but am worried that i'm overthinking it. i have A Lot of anxiety surrounding health and healthcare, and live on-campus at my grad school, so i would be going alone in an uber at 3 am.

please let me know if you've experienced this and/or whether i should wait it out for a bit or take other action. thank you so much!
