Not Ozempic but Mounjaro and now Zepbound.
Yeah it pretty much feels like a miracle. I’m down 55lbs in 6 months, ends up at like 2-3lbs per week which is considered a healthy loss. I’ve done literally nothing different with eating, I just… eat less.
When did you start seeing weight loss? I'm on Wegovy and still titrating and I'm underwhelmed by the results big time.
Not on it, but Primary Care clinical staff. Lots of people feel underwhelmed at the start. Some are more "slow and steady" than others. I would try not to judge the clinical results until after some time at 2.4mg.
Thanks very much for this reply. I've been seeing a dietician whose advise is that I've been eating too little to lose weight and that feels absolutely stupid.
I'll admit since I increased my intake I've been feeling better, and I haven't gained any weight, but I'm impatient. I wish I could just stop eating and lose it that way...
It was slow for me. I was on .25mg/week of Ozempic at the start and now am on 1mg/week. It is the right amount for me. I've been losing 8-10lbs each month and doing nothing else but eat less. If I were to incorporate more exercise, I could lose it at a higher rate.
I'm on 1.3 and I'm just not seeing what I want to see... I'll try to be patient. Thanks!
There's also the bow shock you experience as your habits change. When I started, I still had the bad habit of overeating, but Ozempic won't allow it. I eventually learned to eat less or regret it. How long have you been on it and how much have you lost so far?
Like 2 months and 1 pound!
O, o, o, Ozempic!
Auto Parts!
OW!
I use semaglutide from a compounding pharmacy. I feel like it's helped me take back my life. It's great for me.
It only gives 8% of its users diarrhea so it's better then Taco Bell.
For me, it makes me constipated due to the way it slows down my digestion. The metformin keeps things moving though...
I was on sumaglutide for a month. Made me ravenously hungry and gave me nonstop stomach cramps that only went away when eating. Fuckin' sucked, as it raised my fasting blood sugar by a lot, too.
Wow, sounds like the opposite intended effect! For me, it seems to work as intended.
This was the first time I'd asked to be taken off of a medication.
I'm down 65 lbs! Ozempic/semaglutide has muzzled my out of control eating. I've been on different weight loss meds and none have targeted the cause: bored eating when I'm not hungry. I still eat pretty much whatever I want, but I can't handle any overeating. I made it through the holidays and didn't gain any weight! I enjoyed the holiday goodies and was good to have a small amount. Going back for seconds sort of disgusts me. Went to the doctor today and my A1C is 5.8! It's not been that low in 15 years!
Check out the podcast Maintenance Phase and their episode on Ozempic
I was on Ozempic for about two years due to Type 2 and a bad A1C. I lost about 10lbs but gained it back as soon as I switched medication. Everyone is praising these drugs as miracles, and they are.. But only if you're able to keep the habit they help you build. I'm now on Mounjaro, and I tried Trulicity. Both have done better good for me than Ozempic ever did. My A1C is almost normal, and my energy is so much better. I've also lost about 10lbs and am exercising more/eating less and building the good habits. It definitely changes your metabolism, and makes you feel fuller faster. So it can be a huge blessing if you need it.
Me: likes them all
