Weight loss injections

Hi, I'm also frustrated with putting on weight, which seems to go on in days and take months to lose. My GP did offer to see the nutritionist for support though I have not done that yet. I don't think I'd be happy to consider injections personally, but feeling good about yourself is so very important so I hope you get the support you need from your GP. Best wishes 

Hi AJM  I am frustrated about my weight as well.  Had cancer 12 years ago and went up to size 18.  Joined weight watchers and lost some of it.  Went down to about a 14.  Now cancer has come back and weight is creeping up again with treatment.  I dont think I would consider the injections because of more chemicals to the body.  I think your oncologist would know if it was safe or not.  Good luck.

Hi AJM

I lost weight with the injections Monjoueno. I was told to stop them when I started chemotherapy.  Ihave gained 13 lb since stopping. Now gabapentin is putting more on .

Take care Pam  

I've done Four weeks on 2.5mg and lost 5 kg.

I didn't have any side effects I'm having a two week break now because of surgery.

Starting again when I feel ready on lowest dose again only 6 kg to go.

Love AJ

Jumping in on this older post because I’m in a similar boat after cancer treatment. AJM, that’s great you lost 5 kg so quickly on the lowest dose. How was the surgery pause? Any tips on managing the restart? I’m considering Mounjaro but worried about side effects with ongoing hormones.

I also paused Mounjaro for chemo and regained weight

Starting again on the lowest dose sounds smart

Good luck with your surgery

Ive lost 10kg now started Mounjaro 2.5mg after chemotherapy treatment finished.

It helps with inflammation and generally feel better on it.Im on letrozole for atleast 7 years.Hormone treatment makes you store fat cells so impossible to lose weight without it.I had no side effects at all.
