Had RNY in 2011 and lost 100lbs. I did it because I was getting more and more diabetes meds added on. I went into remission for about 3 years before diabetes returned even with the weight loss. I have now been on Ozempic for two years and following a low carb to no carb diet. My BMI weight should be 96lbs. Down to 104lbs now. But I still have to practice TRE, 16/8 eating cycle to keep my glucose low. Ozempic makes it doable. Hope someday I will figure this all out and be drug free.
The reason it's making headlines is because the FDA added a new warning to the Ozempic label. FDA said the medication will now include a warning about potential intestinal blockage. That legal warning was also added to the weight loss drug Wegovy, which is made by the same manufacturer as Ozempic.Oct 4, 2023. ( i think it is more dangerous for people that have bariatric surgery because our autonomy is already changed by the surgery)!
I have the medicine coming, but I’m so scared to take it so therefore it was a hope that was shot down for me .
Good for you man...keep it up !
Thank you!
hello I just found your channel so i first wanted to say congrats and thanks! I also wanted to reply... i have been on MJ for 5 months... A1C is regulated and down 35 lbs. I DO think the slower you lose the better off your skin is... I have not experienced OZ face or MJ butt lol! I prioritize protein ... but i know my water intake and strength training has to improve as well. Lastly... I do believe that some will be able to get off of a form of glp1. it depends on their level of insulin resistance in the first place. Many of my friends who have reached maintenance take a shot 2x per month or 1x per month along with berberine and that cuts the cost. I am 5 lbs away from my 1st maintenance goal of 180. I want my skin to have a chance to catch up to the weight loss. I will focus more on strength training and in the spring focus on my last 15lbs as my goal weight is 165lbs. I also use the waist to height calculator as my metric and not the BMI... thanks again
That's all very encouraging, thank you! I love hearing positive stories like this. Congrats on your success so far, and best of luck on the final 15-20. I admire your patience and dedication.
how are you able to regulate ( slow down ) how much weight you are losing if you are still taking the medicine?
How is it going ? Looks like you haven't done videos in awhile
I tried Victoza and then Ozempic. I could not continue the treatment because of the nausea they caused which was unbearable and more importantly my mind went to a very dark place !
Shame because otherwise it does work well as an appetite suppressant.
I'm sorry to hear that, but glad you had the wisdom to get off of it when it started messing with your mind. I consider myself very fortunate that I haven't had any negative side effects at all. I'm genuinely sorry it didn't work out for you.
Thank you Mark. I followed your journey and I like your advice. I think that I have no other option but to undergo gastric bypass surgery. I have tried everything to lose my excess weight but after my mid 30's that became impossible .
I’m new to the channel, i saw that you had a bypass 3-4 years ago. Im guessing youve gained some weight back hence the reason you are on semaglutide? Also what would be better? Im considering getting a gastric sleeve, but if the weight is going to come back on with 3-5 years then would it be better to semaglutide? My insurance covers neither, it seems like in the long run semaglutide will cost more than bariatric surgery.
I did have some regain but was maintaining an 80 lb loss. My bariatric surgeon is the one who put me on semaglutide to help me lose what I had regained. In terms of total weight loss and maintenance, bariatric surgery will always beat semaglutide in both the short and long term. Gastric bypass has better long-term results than gastric sleeve, btw. Even though there is usually some regain with both, it's much less with the bypass than the sleeve.
I need your advice i had gastric bypass surgery in 2018 i lost 120 pounds only to get knee surgery and it was one of my worst surgeries i stopped losing weight and gained and then i had a foot surgery now im back up to 278 lbs and my insurance wont pay for ozempic my question to you is wegovy just as good as ozempic
I just about got sick in the grocery store. Week 4 starts tomorrow and w my side effects it makes me nervous about taking 4th shot tomorrow.
Oof, I'm sorry to hear that. Crossing my fingers for you that your body adjusts soon and you start feeling the benefits without the side effects.
@@SprintingSlowly how are you? Did you stop?
Is wegovy the same as ozempic
I had gastric sleeve surgery 2 years ago but was not able to lose more than 40 pounds. I can feel my hunger creeping back especially because I have a very active lifestyle so I've decided to try Ozempic. I got a prescription from my doctor but haven't filled it yet and was curious if people with former weight loss surgery are able to get away with taking less of the medication because of the reduced stomach size?
I was on the lowest dose for over a year and just bumped up to 1.0. I have had times where I did not take it and maintained. One bout of nausea at the beginning but I didn’t attribute it to Ozempic. Didn’t know it was a side effect…LOL
It is awesempic that ozempic works so well for you :D
😆
I think staying on 2.5 for maintenance. But, most will gain the weight back if they don’t change lifestyle and quit eating processed garbage foods.
