BMs – Still same old same old. About ½ the time loose stools, or outright diarrhea, and about half the time constipation. Miralax is still my friend. So far I have not noticed any beneficial effect from the 1000mg of Magnesium I’m taking daily. We’ll give it some more time and see how it goes. I definitely had less of an appetite this week.

Still had a few nights where I woke up early or in the middle of the night. About half those times I felt nauseous and experienced some heavier than normal sulfur burps. Mood – Been is a pretty good mood lately. Much better than a few months ago. Almost all the symptoms I had from my diabetes ae now gone. I still get a slight tingle in my left foot….but nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Seems to be less intense with each passing week. BMs – Same old same old. I used to be about ½ the time loose stools and half the time constipation. I’m more like ¾ time loose and the rest constipation. Hoping my body adjusts like it did on the 2.5mg dose. Time will tell. I definitely had less of an appetite this week.

https://www.youtube.com/ @ManOnTheMounjaro Below is last week's log from today and in reverse order. 22 December 2023, Friday Blood sugar – 102 5am – BM. Very loose. No food yet this morning. Here’s the update! Week 7 update: Starting blood sugar: 474 Blood sugar high: 119 (Sunday) 1 below my goal for the week’s avg to be under 120 Blood sugar low: 85 (Thursday) Blood sugar average this week (week 7): 104.6 Blood sugar average last week (week 6): 122.4 Down 17.8 this week. Down 30 over the last two weeks! Weight this week (Week 7): 178.2 lbs Weight last week (Week 6): 182.2 lbs - (had gained 2 lbs from the week prior) Gain/loss this week: -4 lbs Starting weight (Week 1) 185 lbs (Starting weight on Mounjaro. I had lost 40 lbs on my own since last June). Began Mounjaro for the Type 2 primarily. Losing some lbs would be a bonus. Sleep – Not as good as the last several week. Not really waking up to use the bathroom. Just find myself awake at 4am some nights. Some nights this was with a bit of an upset stomach. Able to get back to sleep. Had a few mornings of nausea. More than when on the 2.5mg dose. Two mornings woke up with a slight headache. Once I had my first cup of coffee they went away. Mood – Even though the mild side-effects seemed to be more intense, my mood remains positive. I’m feeling great. This week’s results on my blood sugar was outstanding! I was hoping to get under 110 ASAP. Never thought it would be this week with 104.6! BMs have been less consistent this week. I’ve noticed more loose stools this week. I have been taking Miralax when I don’t have a BM for longer than a day. Maybe that’s it. I just want to make sure things keep flowing. Got a comment from someone that said her husband came down with Diverticulosis and had many feet of intestine removed. I’m being vigilant in the poop department. It seems like I have had less of an appetite this week. I’m eating even smaller portions than I ate last week, mostly. I’m also feeling fuller faster and have noticed I’m easily able to stop eating as soon as I get that feeling. That’s different. This past week was my first dose of Mounjaro at the 5mg dose. Today I’m injecting another 5mg dose and will update you on the results next Friday. -------------------------------- 21 December 2023, Thursday Blood sugar – 85 12pm – Lunch. 2 eggs. 2 thin slices SPAM. 5:30pm – Dinner.

Dished a small portion. Only ate half. ----------------------- 17 December 2023, Sunday Blood sugar – 119 Woke up this morning feeling a bit nauseous. A few minutes on my feet and a cup of coffee and I’m feeling just fine. I have the sensation that I over-ate last night. I didn’t. Feeling full and bloated this morning. No breakfast for me. 1:30pm – Lunch. Nothing for me thanks. Not feeling the slightest bit hungry. No desire to snack. --------------------------------- 16 December 2023, Saturday Blood sugar – 102 12pm – Salami meat slices. 5. 5pm – Dinner. 1 country style pork rib.

In reverse order of my week. Below is a summary version of my log. Today I move my dosage of Mounjaro from 2.5mg to 5mg. I have stalled out weight-wise on the 2.5mg dose. My blood sugar avg has improved this week! 15 December 2023, Friday Blood sugar – 124 Week 6 update: Starting blood sugar: 474 Blood sugar high: 152 (Monday) Blood sugar low: 88 (Thursday) Blood sugar average this week (week 4): 122.4 Blood sugar average last week (week 3): 134.6 Down 12.2 (Now that’s an improvement!) Weight this week (Week 3): 182.2 lbs Weight last week (Week 2): 180.2 lbs Gain/loss this week: +2 lbs Starting weight (Week 1) 185 lbs (Starting weight on Mounjaro. I had lost 40 lbs on my own since last June). Began Mounjaro for the Type 2 primarily. Losing some lbs would be a bonus. Sleep – Same as last week. Still, much less than before I began Mounjaro. From waking up 2-3 times a night to just once…..and only a few nights a week….which may or may not be my fault for drinking too late in the evening. This alone, has improved my mood greatly! Mood – As my body comes to terms with lower blood sugar levels, my mind is getting used to a new calm. The changes to my physical body in terms of lower blood sugar has got me motivated to make the life changes I should have made years ago…..but was too lazy. My mood has been much better. A bit stressed this week. But it’s a week before Christmas. Everyone gets stressed this time of year. At least I always have. Do you get stressed around the holidays? BMs much more consistent and solid. Very happy for this update! I wonder if my body just had to get used to the 2.5mg dose of Mounjaro? Will it come back now that I’ve moved up to the 5mg dose? I’ve thought more about food this week. Have wanted more snacks between meals. Mostly I’ve managed to control those urges. Mostly. Today was my first dose of Mounjaro at the 5mg dose. 14 December 2023, Thursday Blood sugar – 88 11am – Lunch. 2 egg and cheese omelet. 3 slices of bacon. 5pm – Dinner. Sonic cheeseburger. Small tots. I know I know. 13 December 2023, Wednesday Blood sugar – 124 7am – BM. Pretty regular this week. Back to normal as far as consistency and regularity. Wondering if this will change when I up my dose to 5mg? We shall see. 5:30pm Dinner. Ribeye and baked beans (very small portion- maybe 2 tbl spoons) 7pm - popcorn ------------------------------------------------- 12 December 2023, Tuesday Blood sugar – 124 8:30am – Two egg omelet. 9:30am – BM. 5:30pm – Dinner. Salad (very light on the dressing….but what’s a salad without at least some Ranch on it?!). Cold cut sandwich. 11 December 2023, Monday Blood sugar -152 7am – BM. Broke a streak! That’s three days in a row. 12pm – Lunch. Tuna sandwich on whole wheat. 5:30pm – Dinner. Pork steak. Carrots. 10 December 2023, Sunday Blood sugar - 127 9am – BM. Most normal one in weeks. Also, this is two days in a row with a somewhat normal BM situation. I’ll take it. Small victories! It’s weird how happy I was to see normal looking turds after these past 5 or so weeks. I swear, the older I get the more easily I’m amused and satisfied by the weirdest observations. 5:30pm - Dinner. Jambalaya. Small portion. About ¼ of normal. Felt full. Amazing how little I’m eating these days. You’d think the weight would be falling off me. Nope. Oh well. Feeling much better with lower sugar levels! 9 December 2023, Saturday Blood sugar – 118 3:00am – BM. Solid and feel like I should have done more. Feeling bloated. Maybe it’s the pasta I had last night? I took it very easy on the pasta….but made up for in with an extra helping of meatballs. Lesson learned. 5:30pm – Dinner. 2 home-made tamales from our favorite taco truck. Delish. Hope it doesn’t mess up my sugar level in the morning.

Week 5 Journal. 2 December 2023, Saturday. Blood Sugar – 149 1pm – BM. 5:30pm – Dinner. Tortilla soup. 8pm – Handful of peanuts. 3 December 2023, Sunday Blood sugar – 132 5pm – Dinner.

Last time woke in middle of the night with stomach pains. 7 December 2023, Thursday Blood sugar – 132 7am – I was right about the popcorn I ate last night. Again, woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pains and feeling like I overate. No more popcorn at night for me. 5pm – Dinner. 8 oz steak. Shrimp and sausage. 8pm – Handful of peanuts. 8 Dec 2023, Friday - End of Week 5 and start of week 6 on Monjarao 2.5mg Week 5 update: Blood sugar high: 149 (Saturday) Blood sugar low: 117 (Wednesday) Blood sugar average this week (week 4): 134.6 Blood sugar average last week (week 3): 121.1 Up 13.5 (how disappointing) Starting blood sugar: 474 Weight this week (Week 3): 180.2 lbs Weight last week (Week 2): 180.6 lbs Starting weight (Week 1) 185 lbs Gain/loss this week: 0.4 lbs Sleep – Not as great as last week. Had a few nights where I woke up in the middle of the night. Mood – Still have a much better disposition and outlook on life. I have been concerned about my higher sugar level averages this week. It’s true, I have been snacking on nuts and popcorn more this week. It’s probably my fault. Or, it’s time to increase the dose. Will call the doctor this week and discuss. BMs still inconsistent. Maybe it’s my diet? I’ll have to have a closer look at that. I’ll be constipated for a few days….then have loose stools for a day or two. Probably due to the Miralax I’m taking to loosen the stools. Still learning my new reality. No headaches or queasiness this week. I’ve eaten more this week than the last few weeks. Not much more. A few nights where I was feeling snackish so had a bag of popcorn or a handful or two of peanuts or cashews. Still easily avoiding the sugar stuff. Still have had no interest in drinking diet soda. So weird.

Fajita, refried beans, rice.7:15pm – BM. 28 November 2023, TuesdayBlood sugar – 1215:30pm – Dinner. Haven’t eaten all day. Have not been hungry at all. Normally I’d help myself to a hefty portion of roast and gravy but I’ve learned that I can only handle about ¼ of what my portions used to be. Had a couple spoonfuls of mashed potato. Terrible gas all day. Both ends! 29 November 2023, WednesdayBlood sugar - 1236am – 2 egg cheese omelet and 3 slices of SPAM.1:30pm – BM. Not solid but not diarrhea.

I’ve gone from 2-3 times a night to almost zero. I only woke up once this week at 4am to use the bathroom. I’m feeling very rested now. I’m no longer ready for bed at 7 or 8pm. Mood – Continued success! There’s been a few times this week that something happened in my life that would have made me lose my temper just a month ago. Instead, I’ve been calm and collected. The idiots that I’m forced to share the roads with no longer make me as angry as I used to get. BMs have been inconsistent. Good and bad. Constipation and very loose stools. Not exactly diarrhea. Does your body ever adjust and get back to normal on Mounjaro. Is this something I’m just going to have to get used to while on this stuff?No headaches or queasiness this week.I’m eating far less. When I do reach for a snack it’s an apple, peanuts, and once this week, a bag of pop-corn. Weirdly, I’ve not drank a diet coke since I started on this stuff. I used to get a thirst that only a diet coke could quench. Don’t even think about it now. Coffee in the morning. Water and water mixed with an sugar-free electrolyte is my go-to now.I do get a bloated feeling quite often now. Even when I haven’t eaten anything in a while. #mounjaro #mounjarojourney #mounjaroweightloss #mounjarofordiabetes #diabetes #diabetesawareness

Week 3 on Mounjaro 2.5mg injection for my diabetes is in the book. Lost weight this week too! Bonus! Here's this week's log for those interested: 18 November 2023, Saturday Blood sugar – 123 5:30am – BM. Not solid but plenty of it. 8:00am – Coffee! Not feeling hungry. Skipping breakfast. 10:50am – BM. More solid than this morning. Good amount. Bloated feeling is lessened…but still feel like there’s more. 1:50pm – Lunch. Sandwich on whole wheat. 5:15pm – Ate a handful of cashews. 6:30pm – Dinner. BLT minus the T on whole wheat. 19 November 2023, Sunday Blood Sugar – Forgot to take today. 3:30pm – Lunch/Dinner. 2 egg cheese omelet. 2 slices of SPAM. Not at all hungry today. Ate anyway as wife insisted I eat “at least something”. 20 November 2023, Monday Blood sugar – 95 11:00am BM 2:00pm – Lunch. Half a sandwich. Not hungry really. Felt stuffed after half. Couldn’t eat any more. 2:30pm – BM (diarrhea). 21 November 2023, Tuesday Blood sugar - 119 4:45am – Breakfast. 2 eggs 2 slices of bacon. 5:00am – BM (diarrhea). 6pm – Dinner. Hamburger. 7:30pm – Popcorn. 22 November 2023, Wednesday Blood sugar – 115 2pm – Lunch. 2 eggs scrambled. 3 pieces of bacon. 6pm – Dinner. Hamburger patty with slice of American cheese. 8pm – Two handfuls of nuts. 23 November 2023, Thursday Blood sugar – 111 2pm – Thanksgiving dinner. Quarter portioned all foods. Ate less than ¼ of what was on the plate. Not hungry at all. 7pm – Small slice of Pumpkin pie. I know my blood sugar is going to be mad tomorrow morning…..but a guy has to live ya know!? 24 November 2023, Friday - End of Week 3 and start of week 4 on Monjarao 2.5mg Blood sugar – 164 (That slice of pumpkin pie last night. Totally worth it!) Week 3 update: Blood sugar high: 164 (Thanksgiving Pumpkin pie slice?) Blood sugar low: 95 Blood sugar average this week (week 3): 123.2 Blood sugar average last week (week 2): 146.28 Blood sugar average: -23.08 from last week Starting blood sugar: 474 Weight this week (Week 3): 178.8 Weight last week (Week 2): 183.6 lbs Gain/loss: -4.8 lbs. Wow. Sleep – Another restful week! Stopped drinking fluids about 2 hours prior to bed. A few nights I was actually able to sleep all night without having to get up for the restroom. Most nights I’m still getting up once a night. Much improved from 2-3 a night before starting treatment on my diabetes. Mood – Mood is again much improved. Stress is almost non-existent. Is it the better sleep I’m getting? Is it blood sugar related? Whatever it is…I hope it stays this way! Had some diarrhea this week. Few days in a row. Also have had constipation. No BM in last 2 days. No headaches or queasiness this week. Thanksgiving. I thought this would be a tough day on both my blood sugar and eating. I love to eat and I’ve always been able to make the excuse on why it was ok to eat as I like on holidays like this one. This time it was different. I could smell this fixins getting cooked all day and looked forward to dinner. When we sat down I realized that, although everything smelt great….I wasn’t really hungry. I put a small amount of most offerings on my plate. ¼ of what I’ve dished myself in the past. I was only able to eat about ¼ of that small plate before feeling too full to finish. Crazy! I normally will have 2 heaping helpings on Thanksgiving. I left the table feeling full! Later I had a slice of Pumpkin pie. Had too. A guy’s gotta live. It was delicious but I paid for it this morning with my highest blood sugar all week! 164.
