Same - Mounjaro / Tirzeparide is nothing short of life changing.
A question I often get is "how effective is it?"
The SURMOUNT-1 study released in April 2022 showed 22.5% average reduction in weight for people on the highest dose of Mounjaro. For a 250 lbs person who should weigh 150 lbs (so 100 lbs of extra weight), this would result in them losing 56 lbs or 56% of their excess weight.
For context, bariatric surgery has the following success:
- Gastric Band: 35% - 45% of excess weight lost
- Gastric Sleeve: 60% - 75% of excess weight lost
The fact that a once a week injection is having results similar to bariatric surgery is insane, and this is only the early innings of this shift. Lilly has another drug in the works (will likely be released in late 2025) that is reporting better results than Mounjaro.
Wild and exciting times!

- joedevon 4y agoOh really? Got any more info on that drug?
- machiaweliczny 4y agoI wonder if somone studied „dragon breath” and „vacuuming” exercise vs surgery. I am 15 pounds overweight but I have a feeling that since doing these I look much better and don’t eat that much
- archon810 4y agoThe FDA recommended against it. https://www.fox29.com/news/fda-warns-against-eating-dragons-breath-foods-prepared-with-liquid-nitrogen https://www.fox29.com/news/fda-warns-against-eating-dragons-...
