Ozempic Forum (Page 2) (Top voted first)

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!!

Thank you Molly. I bought my first batch today and I was really starting to worry. Your positive comments were a lifesaver for me.

You'll do ok. I have anxiety. I've had moments it increased a tad but knowing where it came from helped. Relaxed breathing helped but it passed almost as quickly as it came good luck

Hello
Did you alter any part of your diet? What food you eat and don’t eat?
I’m curious to know if weight loss happens due to not eating? Or because you change your ratings habits?
Thank you

Is Ozempic (for weight loss) dosage dependent? I haven't experienced any weight loss yet and I’ve just had my first inj. of 0.5mg. Thank you.

I am so happy for you! My doctor has tried several times to get Olympic through for me at the pharmacy but because my insurance is Medicaid they will not cover it. I am pre-diabetic and would be overjoyed to lose some weight because it's causing other problems as well. My appetite is over the top sometimes and seems nothing I can do about it. I get depressed over this. I guess I'd rather wait until I actually have diabetes to prescribe the stuff. Again, I just want to say congratulations and good for you!

Hi! Trying to see what other people’s experiences are being on Ozempic and being obese. I took my 1st does of .25 on Saturday April 1st and I was 381. It hasn't even been a week yet and I've lost 19 pounds! I'm currently now 362. As exciting as this is it makes me wonder if I'm losing weight too fast. 19 pounds in not even a week yet?! I'm losing over 2 pounds a day currently. Will this die off? It's wild to me, I'm already feeling such positive changes. I've also had 0 side effects besides a little backed up. I've done a lot of research and more people seem to experience the majority of the weight loss around 6 months. I do live a decently active lifestyle for my size. I'm working and in my week 9 hours a day. If anyone has any input let me know!

I am pre-diabetic and and still gaining weight. Medicaid said nope. No Ozempic for you!
I guess they want me to be full on diabetic first?

Yes, it us a prescription. Talk to your doctor about getting it.

If you’re on insulin, you’re not supposed to take this medication. And weight loss does contribute to the lowering of an A1c for a type two diabetic.

My DD is on medicaid and gets it. I think it is how your doctor prescribes it. She goes to an endocrinologist.

I mean congratulations to you, but everyone is different. It’s not that simple especially with women with hormone issues after menopause.

Re: Nicky Nub (# 32)

Kickbacks to doctors have been really illegal for more than 20 years, I don’t know why you’re being abusive to people

Have you taken this medication and it destroyed your digestive system? Or are you just mad that women are able to lose weight easily? You seem angry. Are you OK?
