6 months on
I started mounjaro in March weighing 105kg. 55 f. On September 19th I weighed 87.3 kg. It has been a journey. I am still on 5mg.
On September 21st I fractured my ankle. It turned out I needed surgery.
Surgery for me happened yesterday. The interesting things are you require a 24 hour fast rather than a 6 hour fast to make sure gastric emptying occurs. The anaesthetist took an ultrasound of my stomach just to say if my stomach was empty - which it was - but by that stage it had been 28 hours without food.
I was weighed with a moonboot on for surgery - I weighed 83.2 kg. I am allowed to take mounjaro whilst on the prescribed medication for pain relief.
It has been a journey. I am so grateful that I was significantly lighter when I did my ankle (carrying a washing basket down the stairs and missing a step!!!). I can hop around in a frame and crutches for a short distance - and can manage myself much better because of the weight loss. It honestly is the best decision I made for myself.
