Mounjaro after c section

It’s not good because there’s literally no research on how you would react to it so soon after major surgery. Mounjaro is mainly used as a treatment for people with diabetes however with recent research it’s shown to help with weight loss which is why people go down different avenues to get a hold of it. Personally 2 weeks post op and having a small child it’s not worth the risk when it is so unknown about the side effects so soon after surgery! I’d wait until at least 6 weeks and then consult with your gp. No-one on here can give you medical advice just opinions, I’d speak to your doctor.

I wouldn’t even worry about weight loss just yet, I’d definitely speak to your doctor as if you’re still on the bloood thinning injections worth asking for advice, you’re still recovering mama 🩷🩷

I think they say 6 weeks too start it after a section 🩷

My friend done mounjaro pre baby, and started again very quickly post baby around 3 weeks. And she’s now waiting to have gallbladder surgery. Doc told her it was most likely due to the mounjaro and that her organs hadn’t fully gone into place again.

my pressure if coming from I need to get back to work,

I’m low on finances due to being laid off work after 6 months because I’m pregnant.
My partner isn’t bringing in the finances we need,

I can’t get any help what so ever from the government as I’m not a resident,

I can’t go back to my job unless I’ve lost weight.

I’ve also been trying and trying to find other work and haven’t been successful

6 months is not reasonable.

I need to get back to work to earn money or I’m on the streets so the pressure is there

What sort of job requires you to lose weight before being able to go back? 🤔

I’d recommend getting a better/different job. As this is unhealthy for both your body and mind. And a dangerous road to go down.

Speak to a medical professional before you risk your wellbeing and health.

I’m guessing air hostess as there are weight limits for them?

Try calorie counting, I lost most my pre baby weight that way 🩷

Hello. Newby pharmacist here. I would not start back so soon. Your body is still healing and there’s little to no research out involving PP women.

I definitely would not recommend taking it yet if you are breastfeeding as well. Theres minimal research to show if mounjaro has the ability to affect your newborn. The medication works by decreasing your appetite and holding food into your stomach longer. I personally would be concerned that IF it is passed through your milk that it will also decrease the baby’s appetite, growth, and sugar levels. But keep in mind if you are nursing and start this med your supply will likely tank from you consuming less calories.

I second calorie counting and try eating foods that are filing but less calorie dense. If you decide to resume your shots, remember this medication doesn’t work overnight either. It still takes time for your body to still lose the weight. You may drop 1-2lbs/wk which is also very achievable by staying active and diet control.

I had a c section in April and I’ve lost 3 stone in nearly 5 months. I walk a lot with baby and do way over 10.000 steps a day. Calorie count but make sure you’re getting enough nutrition

2 months is VERY different to 2 weeks 😳😒

I started after 3months PP and everything was fine ❤️

well duh

For myself it’s not easy to just find another job, I have sent a ridiculous amount of cvs off to find another job because of my visa status I’m not as employable as other people.

Plus my job I had I can make a weeks wage in a day so to get back into that so I can spend more time with my baby is something I would prefer to do.

But due to my visa status I get no financial help from the government so I’m Litarly buggered.

hey! Thanks for your reply! Though I am not brestfeeding if I was I certainly wouldn’t be doing it.

Calorie counting isn’t going so well due to the enormous amount of financial strain I’m under. I’m petrified of being on the streets if I don’t sort something out to get some sort of income,

I have tryed looking for work due to my visa status I can’t easily find other work.

Calorie counting isn’t going so well because I’m so depressed about not having an income and the stress that comes with it for me and my baby.

So I don’t realy have much other avenue I can think of apart from starting the jab earlier. As I can’t even exercise at this time either.

yes I’m aware, it would be investing to loose weight now to get back into working where I can make a lot of money.

If I pace myself and loose weight slowly I’m still going to be without work untill I get to the goal weight

Mounjaro is a very expensive approach to take to losing weight if your in financial strain:
it’s not just take a jab and carry on with your weeks ahead. You need to be able to exercise first of all to ensure that your muscle mass doesn’t decrease and make any excess skin become loose. Which you’ve said you’re not able to do. And of course it’s recommended to not exercise for atleast 6-8weeks in order to heal from major abdominal surgery.
You’ve also said you’re not in a financial position to enter a calorie deficit which again you need to ensure the medication is used correctly and the weight can be lost.
A job that requires you to loose weight doesn’t sound like a healthy job for your mind or your body. And a job that earns a weeks wage for an average employee in a day doesn’t sound legal as you say you have a lot of immigration restrictions.
Please speak to a health care professional before making the decision to begin the weight loss injections

It’s just not worth the possibility of something happening to you and you having a baby. Honestly, walk as much as you can and weight will drop off.

You being here and healthy is so much better than being skinny for a quick fix

I’m aware of all this.

I know a lot of people on the jab who have lost a shit ton of weight without exercising.

So my plan was to start the jab now and exercise when I am able to. Like get a head start kind of thing.

If you are aware it’s very hard to calorie count and eat in a calorie deficit when you’ve got a newborn.

it’s not being skinny for a quick fix, it’s an enormous pressure to get back to work, because we are so financially under strain.

If we had a solid income I would prefer to loose weight the healthy way.

I have a little bit of money but not enough to have another 3-4 months of work.
