      Not Ozempic but Mounjaro and now Zepbound.

      Yeah it pretty much feels like a miracle. I’m down 55lbs in 6 months, ends up at like 2-3lbs per week which is considered a healthy loss. I’ve done literally nothing different with eating, I just… eat less.

        When did you start seeing weight loss? I’m on Wegovy and still titrating and I’m underwhelmed by the results big time.

          Not on it, but Primary Care clinical staff. Lots of people feel underwhelmed at the start. Some are more “slow and steady” than others. I would try not to judge the clinical results until after some time at 2.4mg.

          It was slow for me. I was on .25mg/week of Ozempic at the start and now am on 1mg/week. It is the right amount for me. I’ve been losing 8-10lbs each month and doing nothing else but eat less. If I were to incorporate more exercise, I could lose it at a higher rate.

        For me, it makes me constipated due to the way it slows down my digestion. The metformin keeps things moving though…

      I use semaglutide from a compounding pharmacy. I feel like it’s helped me take back my life. It’s great for me.

      I was on sumaglutide for a month. Made me ravenously hungry and gave me nonstop stomach cramps that only went away when eating. Fuckin’ sucked, as it raised my fasting blood sugar by a lot, too.

      I’m down 65 lbs! Ozempic/semaglutide has muzzled my out of control eating. I’ve been on different weight loss meds and none have targeted the cause: bored eating when I’m not hungry. I still eat pretty much whatever I want, but I can’t handle any overeating. I made it through the holidays and didn’t gain any weight! I enjoyed the holiday goodies and was good to have a small amount. Going back for seconds sort of disgusts me. Went to the doctor today and my A1C is 5.8! It’s not been that low in 15 years!
