I’ve been thinking about what size foods I will need in my Mounjaro future and thought I would share here. I know these things are going on all over the world in food manufacturing boardrooms, so I thought I’d toss my pint-size ideas in, too.

Food Aversion from GLP-1 Medications
I was surprised by food aversions after my RNY Gastric Bypass. While I didn’t expect it with the GLP-1 medications, I wasn’t totally surprised. But the alcohol aversion? I had not heard of that and was shocked. Now I know that is fairly common and the meds are being studied to help with other compulsions as well. Do you have any new food aversions with your tirzepatide or semaglutide?
GLP-1/GIP Eating’s a New Game
When it comes to any major health gain/weight loss, eating is going to be different. Here, I compare the different kinds of eating after an RNY Gastric Bypass and while on GLP-1 medications.

The Fatter You Are…
We all lose weight at a different pace. What’s challenging is we can’t see the changes inside as readily and all we have to go by is what is on the scale. Be patient!
This Is All Too Familiar: GLP-1s vs. RNY
Reading about the concerns or worries of those taking the GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro, Ozempic, and the others, I am seeing them as incredibly similar to when one has Bariatric Surgery. I had an RNY Gastric Bypass in 2001 and here are the comparisons to that and the new health and weight loss medications.
GLP-1 Haters, Beware
When we begin the health and weight loss experience, the haters come out of the woodwork. They need to migrate back in because this is OUR choice… with the help of our care providers. It’s no one’s business to tell you you are wrong or bad or lazy when you take Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy, or any other GLP-1. This is OUR lives. Not theirs. Let’s LIVE!
