So I started a YouTube channel…

I am now on the 5mg dose of mounjaro and the burps, severe gas, and bloating might do me in.

Imma wait it out in hopes that it gets better, but the discomfort is getting a little extreme.

We shall see how this week goes. On the upside, my blood sugar is down. I really want this to work because I do not want to go back to sticking myself 4 times a day.

Took my first dose of mounjaro this morning (before y’all jump down my fucking gullet, I am a Type 2 Diabetic). The doctor said it slows digestion which will act as an appetite suppressant. I did not expect the shit to work so fast tho.

I went out to eat with my wife and baby and ordered a wrap, a bowl of soup, a spankanopita, and a diet soda.

I had a cup and a half of the soda, the spankanopita, and half the wrap. Well, almost half the wrap. I took one bite too many and it almost all came back up. I was not expecting it to work so quickly. I’m taking all of the rest of it home.

The doctor told me that exact thing would happen. She said in the beginning I would take one bite too many and would instantly know my limit. Shit, imma have to start eating slower, drinking less or no liquid while eating, and ordering less.

God damn sugar betes smh. But I am glad I only have to stick myself once a week now instead of four times a day so I ain’t complaining 👌🏾

I’m tired of AuDHD trying to kill me smh.

For those of yall who don’t know, those of us who are neuro expansive with ADHD, Autism, or a mix of the two, often have strong food aversions and/or fixations.

I rarely eat breakfast, but when I do cook it for myself it’s typically shakshuka or lox toast. The last few months it’s been the toast. I make it with sourdough bread, cream cheese, pickled red onions, capers, tomato, and smoked salmon.

Today I made it and when I put it in my mouth, my body reacted as if it were poison. It tasted like the most vile thing I’ve ever eaten. I literally had to deconstruct the toast and eat it with just the cream cheese and a little Green Goddess seasoning from Trader Joe’s.

The dumb dogs were happy because I rinsed off the salmon (to make sure there was no onion) and gave it to them. When you are neuro expansive, there really is no safe food. Some thing will be absolutely perfect for days, weeks, and months, and then you take one bite too many and your day is ruined.

And for those of you who often poke fun at me for hating most fruit, this is actually why. Fruit is too much of a gamble. You can get a piece that’s perfectly ripe, sweet, and juicy. OR, it can be sour mush that will ruin your appetite. Also, so many little seeds which is textural hell 😭

I know I sound dramatic but I’m genuinely scared to eat anything else. I’m now nauseous, overstimulated because of the punch in the mouth, and anxious as fuck . It’s 2pm and I know imma be hungry again at some point today. The thought of having to put something else in my mouth is sending me down a spiral because I do not have the mental strength to be betrayed again.

Fuck .
