Hi Candy, I really recommend you listening to Dr. Mike’s podcast with a weight loss specialist. It’s a good listen and I think you could get some valuable information from it! Keep up the hard work and hopefully that will make you not have so many side effects.
I’m on the compound as well although my dosages started at .25 first month the second is .5. Your dosages are different. I strength train 3 days a week and hike 4 miles 2 days a week. Doing keto and tracking my macros. My first month was a disappointment having only lost 4 lbs. Hoping it kicks in this month.
On my second week..lost 4 pounds..had cronick diarea first week.i started om 188 my goal is 145..im 50 yrs old.with fibromyalgia had my thyroid removed..osteoarthritis and muscle afrophy..high blood presure and cholesterol
Taking pictures is really important too. When I lost a lot of weight for my wedding 10 years ago I unfortunately didn’t really see it so it made gaining it back that much easier. Many people will have some form of body dysmorphia and have a hard time comprehending the changes visually. A photo makes it easier for the brain to recognize the difference especially because one can place them side by side and see it. When I look back a photos from the wedding I am shocked at how much I had truly lost but in the moment I honestly couldn’t really see it. I still saw the 280 lb person I was. I’m starting the journey back to that thinner me but with more knowledge about what body dysmorphia can truly do. I am now taking pictures every week so I can fully comprehend what is happening. That way I won’t regain.
I was on ozempic for 2 years. l lost 60lbs. I had to stop a year and a half ago because the insurance stopped covering it and the manufacturers card stopped covering it . I have pre diabetes pcos . My cholesterol is back up and now my sleep apnea is back. I gained all but 20 lbs back which sucks. I am hoping 🙏 this will work for me .
It's actually not, good/safe/healthy, to lose weight quickly. One pound a day is a 'max average.' Some can lose more and they're fine. This is especially since daily weight loss counts vary. It definitely takes time, especially those with 'excessive' weight to lose. It can take time to feel it as well as notice it.
Im worried of the sagging skin. Ive been on it for 4 months now just to lose anout 20- 25 lbs. I ate healthy for the average person but I have hypothyroidism and i managed to keep my weight between 169- 175 lbs, "5,7"for years, but I could not get below that. Ive lost the 20-25 lbs and that is with semiglutide, diet, and weight training/cardio.
Take the shot at night, if you didn’t. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. Look into liquid I.V. as it will replace your electrolytes. Others said these helped the side effects stop. Take B12 gummies. They help with the fatigue and digest better. Hope you are feeling better.
This was a very informative video. Thank you for sharing your progress. I have been on semaglutide since 9/6/24. I've lost 6.5 lbs. so far. Just last week, I had a very similar side effect immediately after I had just a few pieces of pineapple. I immediately got dizzy and broke out in a sweat and thought I was going to pass out. I got sick but it went away after I got sick. I was wondering if it was the pineapple but wasn't sure as it happened immediately after eating it. So I am going to stay away from pineapple. This has never happened to me before. I am struggling with working out as I injured my knee prior to starting semaglutide. I haven't been able to work out and so I researched this for a while before actually getting the shots. I had a few people recommend a place that does the shots and I am glad I did it. So anyways, came across your video and it has helped me so thank you for that. Congratulations to you and your husband's weight loss!!
At the time we got it it was $200 a month for injection plus the cost of the virtual nurse visit which I believe was $100-$150. I can’t recall exactly.
UA-cam sends me all these videos of former semaglutide diets....the videos report success, but the UA-camrs themselves has usually been off it for quite a while and has gained the weight back - so, it is sobering. No criticism, I'm just gauging the effectiveness of this tool.
I think varies per person. I didn’t stay on it because I didn’t like the way it made me feel and losing 6-7 pounds a month wasn’t enough of a loss to tolerate feeling that way some of the days. I didn’t gain it back right away. It was a slow gain of 15 pounds (which was only half of what I lost during the 4 months) over the winter months which has always been a struggle for me when I’m not exercising. So not really a fault of the medication. However I am proud to say that I have since lost that weight and then some with healthy eating habits and exercise this spring and summer so far in 2024. We all have to find what works for ourselves.
Of course if you stop dieting, taking medication, or working out, anything that's helping you lose weight and you stop, you will gain it back. What a silly statement.
I think the idea is that over some time your supposed to attain a new eating lifestyle and you're diet isn't really a diet anymore you just eat healthier now 🤷🏾

Loosing weight is so hard! Glad you both have found something that works for you. You both are looking great!
My 3 month weight loss was 19 lbs I have no side effects I thought it woukd be more
I was the same way! I’m on month 1 with barely any side effects!
Great video Candi. Congratulations on your results. Tell ken congratulations too. You are both amazing and are so inspiring.
Have you tried getting a b12 shot with your injection? I’ve found that it helps with side effects
Yes this is our family nest the most creative awesome video ever ❤

Good fats are good for us but bad oils and fats are not. I am doing Keto and it is working for me for sure.
I’m on the compound as well although my dosages started at .25 first month the second is .5.

Keep at it! Since you’re already working out you are building muscle which weighs more than fat! Good job!
A pound a week is great. @@OurFamilyNest
Sounds like you should be taping instead of weighing in. I bet your body composition is changing its just harder to see than a number on a scale.
Ur doing good keep at the weight training ! Muscle weighs more than fat and takes up less area. Use a measuring tape! U can track better that way❤
On my second week..lost 4 pounds..had cronick diarea first week.i started om 188 my goal is 145..im 50 yrs old.with fibromyalgia had my thyroid removed..osteoarthritis and muscle afrophy..high blood presure and cholesterol
Does that mean you took semaglutide after thyroid surgery?

Is 80mg a high dose? Just wondering i am a very very big lady maybe thats the reason? Im scared 😢
I'm 5 weeks in. CRAZY NAUSEA and feeling weak
Ask for zofran

Can you tell me about the price of what the shops cost?
$250 a month plus $100 for the monthly virtual visits to discuss your progress and medication dosage
I'm in Ohio, what is the cost of Blush? I'm using an online company currently
At the time we got it it was $200 a month for injection plus the cost of the virtual nurse visit which I believe was $100-$150. I can’t recall exactly.
Any hair loss?
No
I live in mo
I’m going to a weight loss clinic next week for consultation to see about getting the injection
I lose 1 pound a week from week 2
Starting compound semaglutide next week. Any suggestions and/or tips?
Try to eat small snacks throughout the day rather than meals. Or do food prep and do really small portions because you won’t be very hungry.

You are going to Put r .weight right back. Once you stop a shot.
I did. Back on it.
Who says she’ll stop taking the shot? To keep herself healthy, she’ll continue her medication.
If it’s for weightloss, she won’t gain it back if she continues at maintenance calories
Of course if you stop dieting, taking medication, or working out, anything that's helping you lose weight and you stop, you will gain it back. What a silly statement.
I think the idea is that over some time your supposed to attain a new eating lifestyle and you're diet isn't really a diet anymore you just eat healthier now 🤷🏾
