First day
First day on Ozempic. Have tried and succeeded on every diet I’ve ever done but it always seems to add back up. I’m a healthy eater and quite active but I’ve got a big appetite. Weight, blood pressure and blood sugars have been on the rise for a while now and dr.recommended ozempic to aid in this. I was pretty scared to do…

Exhausted?
Hi. Im 55 and have 60 lbs to lose. I began Ozempic 2 weeks ago. Im taking even less than the minimum dosage (because Im a super reactor on meds). Ive been very happy that food is no longer central in my life and Ive been clean eating & low cal/high protein eating since starting. I feel mostly VERY tired. Also, I am winded…

End of year 1 on Semaglutide compound
I ended year 1 on semaglutide compound today. Losing very very slowly. Lost 8.6kg's over the last year. I'd really like to lose a little bit more, but the expense versus the slow loss is hard to justify. I am on 1mg now. Am thinking of slowly decreasing, very slowly. Perhaps get back down to my start dose of .25mg by the…

Hello group. Just started a semaglutide generic a couple of weeks ago
It's difficult finding conversations and thoughts from people about semaglutide, probably in part because it goes by so many names I just took my third dose of 0.125, looks like others here are on a much higher dose. It really didn't do much for me the first two weeks but now lately food just kinda sits in my belly and I…

Back on WL Meds
Hi Everyone, I was here before. I was on Ozempic from December 2022 to the end of December 2023 and lost 50 pounds. My insurance stopped covering Ozempic unless you have T2 diabetes, so I had to go off of it this year. Unfortunately, I got sick several times and had to take steroids twice, which caused me to gain back 60.…

Hi how has your mood been
I have been on Qzempic for two months. Close to 20 lbs down. I was also doing intermittent fasting. My moods have been all over the place. So not doing the fasting anymore. Do you think that will help?

Diarrhea symptoms?
I recently upped dosage from 1.0 to 1.7 mg. I had not experienced any side effects on the lower dosages, but starting with the 1.7 I got 5 days of constipation followed by 3 days of diarrhea. I have heard this abates but not found any information on how long it takes. Anyone else have experience of this?

Introducing myself
Hello, 63 y.o., post menopausal, type 2 diabetic. I had my semi-annual wellness check up in Nov. and was not surprised to see that my A1C was 6.3. So I started Ozempic 2 weeks ago, 0.5 dose. So far I am down 10.5 lbs. The nausea, cramps, and fatigue are pretty annoying. Is this typical? Do these symptoms subside? Thanks.

Newbie week 3 on Oz
4th shot Monday, July 10th. One more dose of .5 and then on to 1.0 . No negative side effects so far. I have noticed less thoughts of food and no real cravings for sweets. That is an awesome feeling! Really helps me, so hope it keeps up. Healthy food choices mostly, smaller portions, two meals a day, no snacks except…

Introducing myself…
Hi everyone! I started Ozempic March 21st for diabetes/weight loss and 6 months in I am down 90lbs. Of course, I have a lot to lose (200+) but this is the first time in my life that I have succeeded in losing this much weight. I was on 1.0mg for the last few months but about 3 weeks ago, I noticed my hunger coming back. My…

Finished Ozempic - No Weight Gain
Hi all, I took Ozempic for about 9 months - went from 210lb to 149lb. I was addicted to eating for anxiety and because Ozempic made me not want to eat, I no longer have that urge. I'm keeping a wary eye on myself to be honest, as I've heard folks do gain it back. BUT I am seeing a naturopath and she is helping me stay on…

Help! Wanting to quit injections
I need your help. I have been taking ozempic for 6 months now. The vomiting, stomach cramps, nausea, and now constipation are awful. The doctor prescribed zofran but I am still throwing up. I feel awful. I’ve not really lost much weight. 15 pounds in six months. Any suggestions to help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Change group name to include Wegovy, Semaglutide?
First post in this group. Happy to be here. 3 weeks on Wegovy. Same drug as Ozempic, just prescribed for obesity instead of diabeties. I'm suggesting changing the group name to make it easier to find for others on semaglutide who may not think to search for one of the brand names. @timpicks

What Eating Plan do you follow?

2mg Dose is Unbelievable
Hi, T2 for about 20 years. Have been on Byetta and Victoza. Ozempic 1.0 for a few years. Recently my control was not optimal and overall numbers showed it. About 2.5 months on the 2.0 Ozempic dose and it has been amazing in controlling satiety. My FBS numbers are 25-40 points lower. Some limited indigestion. I weight…

Subject says it all. Scale showed179.5 this morning - lowest I've been since late 2021! - following a four week stall. This med is AMAZING!! Just the cessation of "food noise" in my head is worth the price of admission!! HAPPY MONDAY!!

Ozempic - week 9
Started 1mg on Saturday. Only have enough meds for two more weeks. Waiting for my doc to change my Rx to the 4mg pen. Happily am (for now) grandfathered into a Canadian pharmacy to continue being able to order. Canada has effectively issued a temp freeze on all new patients, largely as a result of an unethical doctor in…

Ozempic - Week 1
I just started on Ozempic on April 19th, 0.25 dose. So far so good, I seem to have less sugar cravings (my weakness!) but I still am having the urge to eat out of boredom and/or habit. Even so, with the Ozempic it feels easier to not give in, and I haven't! I have had minimal side effects so far, which I am very thankful…

Nauseated

Down 40 pounds
It's 16 weeks and 2 days since I started on Oz. I'm currently on the 1 mg dose. I have pretty good appetite suppression without too many side effects at this point. I get occasional bouts of diarrhea mid-week, but the nausea and stomach cramping have gone away for the most part. I went too long without eating a week or so…

Ozempic - week 6
I stuck with the manufacturer's recommendation and did four weeks at .25mg. I'm now on my second week at .5mg. Down 10 pounds, woot!! The appetite suppression didn't really start until .5mg... but it's been wonderful ever since: like those first six months after my gastric sleeve procedure. I have had a good bit of…

Week 1 in the Books
It looks like this isn't a very active community, but I figure if someone keeps posting here, maybe someone else will join me... I just finished week 1 and gave myself my second shot. I was down 9.8 pounds this morning! Ozempic did a good job of suppressing my appetite right away. I had a rough time with stomach cramps and…

Increased Dosage
I increased my dosage today to .5 mg. I'm waiting to see how this new dosage effects me. So far I have lost 20.9 pounds after 4 weeks on .25 mg. I hope that I have a good reaction to the increased dosage.
