Weight loss
Hiya everyone,
After having my son in October 2023 I’ve been really struggling with my weight. I’ve had quite a traumatic birth ending up with a C-section which I was out to sleep for, and to this day I still get nightmares about it all. Safe to say my head hasn’t been in a space to focus on loosing weight after the baby. But with the weather being so nice recently I’ve just become even more depressed about my mummy pouch. I’ve tried taking oralist not too long ago, but I feel quite unclean down there when taking it and I don’t like it. Was really thinking of starting mounjaro or wegovy. But no idea where to start and I’m terrified of doing the injections myself. Does anyone have experience with any of these and what do they think of them in general.
Any advice would be highly appreciated 💙

I wish you the best 💗
I started taking Mounjaro when my October baby was around 7 months but ended up falling pregnant again when she was 9 months. Lost about 2 stone in that time.
My sister started the mounjaro injections 4 weeks ago and is eating healthily, she's lost 1st 4lbs so far. I started calorie counting 3 weeks ago, no injections, and I've lost 7.5lbs so far. I've found it really difficult to lose weight since my c-section too and my weight has really got me down, like you say, especially with the warmer weather. If you want to message me for support losing it, feel free. Wishing you all the best 💕 x
First of all I’m so sorry that happened to you and it makes sense that you’re still processing what happened to your body and feeling where it is now. I personally thought postpartum breastfeeding would make weight come off but I understood that need for more nutrients, lack of sleep and craving things like chocolate for magnesium influenced my weight. I am pregnant again now and minding my weight doesn’t stop. I don’t have experience with the weight loss medication but the one thing that has been helping me is protein first. For some reason I’ve noticed that that helps me lose weight. I found some protein shake brands that I like but also stock up on proteins I don’t have to defrost like eggs, sardines, tuna (though not while pregnant), jerky, and more. That seems to help. I’m not perfect and I don’t like restricting myself because I grew up with a restrictive, shame based food mindset. My other favorite tip is to ADD. Add greens, add fruits, add add add versus take away.
