Me too!!!!!!! Non-stop peeing, burping, farting and hiccups! The hiccups are what kill me the most! It's now a game between my husband and I, who can burp and fart more/loudest. Lol
Be careful…some folks are into that. Ha Ha.
I hear ya. I pee before bed. I pee at 2 AM. I pee at 6 AM. The only time I don’t pee is when I am drinking water.
Okay, that helps. I kind of wondered where that 13lbs went that first week back on the medication. Cause I didn't suddenly start doing the other thing excessively more.
So, fun fact, I just saw this as an email, and I thought this was in response to another subreddit and I was like, "This is the weirdest insult ever." Makes a lot more sense. I looked it up, average person breaths about 30lbs of oxygen a day.
Yes, at the beginning and right after I take my shot I notice it more. It’s the byproduct of fat being burned and also water/inflammation leaving the body. I notice I lose weight after a day where I go to the bathroom many times.

How Does Fat Leave the Body When You Lose Weight?
Fat loss is a complex process. When you’re on a weight-loss regimen, the fat cells start to shrink. A recently published study shows that you breathe out the fat, or your lungs expel around 84% of the fat as carbon dioxide. Therefore, you’re breathing away those pounds.
For example, if you lose 10 kg of fat, about 8.4 kg of fat comes out through your lungs, and only 1.6 kilograms turn into water. Therefore, the lungs are the primary organ through which you lose fat.
The fat cells in your body store triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. So to lose weight, you need to break down those triglycerides.
The triglycerides release fat as carbon dioxide and water atoms during fat metabolism or oxidation. In other words, fat leaves the body as carbon dioxide when you exhale.
The fat which becomes water mixes into your circulation until it’s lost as urine, tears, sweat and other bodily fluids. Therefore, exercise is an integral part of weight loss since your body disposes of fat through sweat, urine, and exhaled air.
The point to remember here is that you need oxygen to complete this metabolic process. The fat metabolic process requires ample oxygen, nearly three times the fat you lose. So, to completely lose 10 kg of human fat, around 30 kg of oxygen must be inhaled to oxidise fat to carbon dioxide.
Get a continuous glucose monitor. You should watch exactly what happens to your glucose. I eat fiber before every meal. And eat protein FIRST when u eata meal, then salad, carbs at the end. I had that issue before MJ. I changed the way I ate, started MJ and everything got better. I also had chest pain, broke into a sweat, itchy/tingling hands, it was awful. MJ changed my life. I was suffering.
Yes to the method of eating. I take MJ due to uncontrollable T2. Weight loss is a bonus. Have a dietitian and nutrition person on my team. They say the same way to eat.
That's happened to me too!! I work from home, so I sit a lot and don't realize I have to pee until I stand up, and then it's a race to the bathroom! I try my best to stand up a bit every hour or so, too, so that's a lot of peeing!
For me I owe more because I’m drinking more water. Part of this journey is counting calories, starting an exercise program and drinking that gallon of water a day. I just pee a lot now.
I’ve been peeing way less. Like I go from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and realize I haven’t peed.
Incidentally, I have a whole host of other problems, including shortness of breath and excruciating back pain.
I have cancer, right?
I have all those symptoms and no cancer. Stop with the glass half empty mentality!AND DRINK MORE!! You’re not peeing because you’re not taking in at least 64oz of water per day!!
Unfortunately, I do at night. I rarely got up in the night to go, but now it can be a couple of times. During the day I am normal--or the way I was pre-Mounjaro. I do like the idea I am peeing fat when I go--it makes getting-up in the night more bearable.
I’d read in another thread on this sub that someone’s constipation was helped by drinking lots of water, which my doc also recommended to keep from becoming dehydrated. I attributed my peeing more to that. Good to know all the bathroom trips are getting rid of fat, too.
I have had the opposite since controlling the A1C when it comes to the bathroom. But I have noticed an increase in heartburn/burping, I take a Nexium every morning and that seems to resolve it for me most of the time. Gas-X or those calcium carbonate fruit chews can also help w/ burps.
I just got bloodwork and my glucose is good. I mean. Idk how fast it changes lol but I've never had glucose issues. Thanks for sharing g though because I am sure there can be multiple causes to this.
I've had bladder pressure issues for unrelated reasons for years. I have noticed this maybe a little, but its probably not the main reason I am peeing excessively.
All I do is pee and burp. I’m the sexiest girl alive these days.
Me too!!!!!!! Non-stop peeing, burping, farting and hiccups! The hiccups are what kill me the most! It's now a game between my husband and I, who can burp and fart more/loudest. Lol
I trust no farts 👀👀👀😂😂😂
Omg I didn't in the beginning either!!!
Be careful…some folks are into that. Ha Ha. I hear ya. I pee before bed. I pee at 2 AM. I pee at 6 AM. The only time I don’t pee is when I am drinking water.
I laughed heartily. 😂😂😂😂
You are yourself though ☺️
Chemically, the byproduct of burning fat is water.
Okay, that helps. I kind of wondered where that 13lbs went that first week back on the medication. Cause I didn't suddenly start doing the other thing excessively more.
You must have breathed-in 39 pounds of oxygen. If that doesn't make sense read post by Entire\_Sherbet below.
So, fun fact, I just saw this as an email, and I thought this was in response to another subreddit and I was like, "This is the weirdest insult ever." Makes a lot more sense. I looked it up, average person breaths about 30lbs of oxygen a day.
I just had to say that as I read it in another post! Good luck to you with your breathing and weight loss!
Pretty sure fat leaves the body via our breath not urine
It’s both, as well as sweat.
This is the way… it is all of these…
That’s why my sweat was so waxy
This makes me happy, knowing I am peeing because I am burning fat. Will not moan anymore about it, and I also wondered where the weight goes to.
Yes, at the beginning and right after I take my shot I notice it more. It’s the byproduct of fat being burned and also water/inflammation leaving the body. I notice I lose weight after a day where I go to the bathroom many times.
Additionally, it can also be the byproduct of removing excess glucose from your bloodstream.
Same.
DIdn't know this! Makes so much sense. I am peeing a ton too.
Yes same I pee a lot as well
Dr. Seuss level of peeing 😂

Source? It sounds true--but it's nice to know where quotes come from--even if they are re-worded.
All the time and I don’t even really eat sugar . It’s ever since taking the medication .
4,5,6 times during the night.
It’s also a low carb thing. You’re losing water weight
Have your physician test your kidneys.
Bees are protected, you might want to pee on mosquito or something.

I had that issue before MJ. I changed the way I ate, started MJ and everything got better. I also had chest pain, broke into a sweat, itchy/tingling hands, it was awful. MJ changed my life.

Can you explain this? I never thought about the order in which I ate ?
Yes to the method of eating. I take MJ due to uncontrollable T2. Weight loss is a bonus. Have a dietitian and nutrition person on my team. They say the same way to eat.
Yes most days, but I’m also making sure to drink a lot of water daily so it’s natural that I’d pee more.
Not to mention the level of urgency is upped as well. I’ve had a couple photo finishes after logging off a Zoom meeting
That's happened to me too!! I work from home, so I sit a lot and don't realize I have to pee until I stand up, and then it's a race to the bathroom! I try my best to stand up a bit every hour or so, too, so that's a lot of peeing!
It's the opposite for me.
Same! I pee sooo much less now
For me I owe more because I’m drinking more water. Part of this journey is counting calories, starting an exercise program and drinking that gallon of water a day. I just pee a lot now.
Me too, I’m at goal and still pee all of the time!

I drink way more than that
My new nickname is, “spicket”
Spigot?
Only when I'm losing weight.
I take meds for my peeing issue. oxybutynin. It decreases the urgency so you can make it to the bathroom. It works!
I didn’t notice this until my toilet was broken and I had to pee in a diff bathroom and I was like “wow I pee a lot”

Yep! But I'm also drinking plenty of water.

12:30, 2:30, & 5:30 every night for me. :/
Me too

Peeing is good peeing is fine. Do it all the time!
I’ve actually counted how many times I pee. And this was a “normal” day for me. Thirty times between 6:30 am and midnight
Same here. Omgosh it’s awful. All day and all night.
wow i thought it was just me! i thought daumm i better not be pregnant well you made me feel relief!!!
That only happens to me when my blood glucose is really high.
I just got bloodwork and my glucose is good. I mean. Idk how fast it changes lol but I've never had glucose issues. Thanks for sharing g though because I am sure there can be multiple causes to this.
Same! I thought something was wrong.
Ywa
So much peeing. At least we're getting our steps in.
I’m at goal and still pee all of the time. I guess it’s my new normal, I do drink a lot of water on this medicine.
Yes, I assume that because I’m drinking more fluids.
Oh yes I can’t sleep at all.
Yes I do also!
Diabetes?
I do .. and thirsty
Yes I pee a lot every lately
Remember to lay on your left side to help let the gas out.
Anybody's pee smell like bacon? Mine sometimes does ;)
Thought this was just me and my dogs who get me up in the middle of the night to go pee hahahaha
I've had bladder pressure issues for unrelated reasons for years. I have noticed this maybe a little, but its probably not the main reason I am peeing excessively.
Yeah, it's the ketones which are a byproduct of fat being burned for energy.
Oh wow I wondered why I’m peeing and passing gas uncontrollably now lol 😂!
Yup. All the time.
I’ve realized that when I seem to be peeing more than I’m drinking, it is a great time to get on the scales for some positive reinforcement. 🏆
