Made me sick as a dog. No weightloss and no change in blood sugars. It’s expensive.
If it works for you, you still have to eat right.

I tried it after hearing good feedback from others. Unfortunately, my stomach couldn't tolerate it. A couple of days after taking, I would get horrible diarrhea that was disabling for close to 24 hours. As soon as I stopped, the diarrhea stopped.

My insurance covers it so it’s not expensive (for me). The side effects are not fun but totally worth it to me (started it around two months ago and lost a little over ten pounds so far including over the yomim tovim)

If you do t mind me asking how much do you need to lose. I need to lose about 20-30 pounds my doc I doesn’t think it’ll come off too quickly for me.

Does have some mild side effects but the thrill of losing lbs that otherwise didn't budge still pays.

I took Saxenda and I’m wondering how those 2 drugs compare to each other? Fwiw I was so, so sick with nausea and diarrhea I had to stop. Just wondering if Ozempic is different

Works so well for me. Lost 15lbs in 3 months. Never hungry. Plan to keep using it until I lose another 25. I also peloton daily and eat healthy. It was always the quantity and not the quality that did me in. Ozempic helps curb my portion sizes.
I got super constipated this week so I took a week off and drank a bottle of mag citrate and got back to normal. Plan to restart ozempic tomorrow.

For those that use it, what dose are you maxing at? I wanted to go to 2.5mg like wegovy but my doc advised that I stay at 1mg. I’m not diabetic and I am taking this for weight loss only. Just curious what others are doing.

How long did it take you to lose that weight?

So I just started last night. .5 a week. My doctor wants to go slow scan I’m on this for 1 month. Plus he changed my diet to all plant bases with minimal fish. Plus exercise. I’ll keeping you all posted but because I have Pcos ands hit menopause I expect it to go very slow. Dr did say that he’d add another drug in a couple months if the weight loss is too slow. FWIW, only 5 days of no meat/chicken ands increased vegetables ands I don’tneed to take my med for GERD daily🤗
