Has anyone on here tried semaglutide injections? If so please tell me your experience. I'm weighing the pros and cons.

    For those that have prescribed have you seen rebound weight gain upon discontinuance? Read that this week and was curious.

    I just started it 8 days ago. So far no side effects. Lost 6.2 pounds in the first five days or so, but then ended up gaining by one week weigh in. Changing dose.

    I’m really scared of needles but I wanna try this so bad!! I have tried everything to lose weight and nothing has worked for me :( Im scared because I’m getting closer to 300 pounds and I’m prediabetic. I don’t wanna do anything drastic but I need to try something different because I really don’t wanna go over 300, just thinking about it makes me feel so ashamed.

    I lost 11.6 pounds in 2.5 weeks (3 injections). It slows the rate of digestion so you are full faster and not hungry. I do experience bloatedness, abdominal pain and some diarrhea. Have not been able to single out what food. I need to lose 23 pounds so i have 1/2 left to lose. I spoke to my doctor about the side effects. I am not increasing my dose and going to stop for a couple of weeks (vacation). I will drink my water and rely on the portion control Semaglutide helped me learn. If needed, I will resume. I do recommend trying it (under a doctor's care).
