I have been on Ozempic now for 5 weeks. I started at the .25mg and after two weeks, upped it to the 0.5mg. I have never felt so dang good! I'm 53, post-meno, non-diabetic, 5'4", and SW was 264. My current weight, after just one month was down 19lbs! Now I'm down 21lbs! I'd love to finally be 165lbs or so again. I haven't been that small since I was about 11 years old.

Ozempic has saved me! I can't believe it. I actually look forward to the injection every week. I only had nausea for a little bit the day after I started. And since, then, it's been great! No diarrhea, no nausea, just boundless energy.

And not just that, but it's done something to my brain! I have this amazing sense of optimism, and positivity. I feel hopeful again! I feel like I AM going to finally lose this miserable weight.

I don't have much hunger. This stuff makes me NOT want junk food! It's a damn miracle, I tell you! I WANT to eat healthy stuff now. How did this happen?! LOL! I crave lettuce and raw broccoli, and carrots, and good steak. I hardly eat any breads or biscuits, haven't had any cookies or cake. I did have one small tiny little container of Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream. The kind in the little 1/4 cup containers that you buy. I think they come 10 to a pack? Five vanilla, five chocolate... And I'm also snacking on healthy nuts. Walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds and pistachios.

I am so happy!! Let the weight loss continue! The struggle before was real. And now, I feel euphoric and I just KNOW I'm finally going to be able to wear clothes out of the regular section of the store, not the damn plus sized 2X and 3X options!!

Have to reply to this, I feel the same. I've just started it so its not the weight loss i can comment about but it has changed my attitude to food in the past week. I've been obsessed with food all my life now I'm finally eating to live and craving healthy food to fuel my body. This has never happened me. I've been bingeing for years and it's now like a cloud has been lifted I feel mentally so much better!! Hoping this continues as I finally feel I might get down to my healthy weight.

I had a little nausea the day after my very first dose, but it came very quickly and left just as quickly. I have not had any other side effects. Everyone talks about 'sulphur burps' but I've not had those either. No heartburn. I haven't felt tired. I just feel fantastic!

Wow! So very happy for you. It's great that you're doing so amazing on Ozempic, and feeling amazing. I'm sure you attitude is also contributing to your success, the positivity really goes along way towards helping with any medical issue.

And you experienced none of the other side effects the FDA warns about, such as heartburn, constipation, abdominal pain, or belching?
