    Thank you so much for this video. I had my first Wegovy injection 6-19-24 and just ordered the sharps disposal container. I started off drinking tons of water and focusing on smaller, protein heavy meals. So far my only side effects are a bit of bloating but I'm only on day five. I'm 53, post menopause and my goal is to lose 30lbs. I'm 5'3" and starting at 160lbs, wish me luck!

      Thank you for the video. I am 54, my first injection was 6/30/24, I am 5'4 and 276lbs, can't do any exercise as I just had knee surgery, drinking water, eating fruits, protein, still have a craving for chocolate, but I get heartburn if I eat carb, so it's making me think twice about that. So one step and a time

    In addition to pharma mail-back programs, your town can provide you with drop off sites for used needles as well as disposal of other, unused meds.
    It’s usually a police office and/or town hall. Be sure to seal the container and write “do not recycle” on the container so it doesn’t get confused with the recycling.

It’s actually nice to feel full and stop eating. My biggest piece of advice to you as you start your journey is to really pay attention to what you are eating and drinking and how it affects you.

    Well done! Have you found that the your energy levels or up or down after being on wegovy? I'm worried that taking it (i have a prescription) could reduce my energy levels and possibly even contribute to lower mood, which would not be good for me. Thoughts? it really sounds like one needs to be prepared and have a plan for compensating as the body adjusts to the medication. Appreciate your helpful videos on your journey. thank you again.

    • @JScottBeauty
      @JScottBeauty  Місяць тому +1

      Mood and energy were a concern for me because I was (am) also working my way through menopause and that’s a whole other nightmare. For me, going to the gym regularly is huge for keeping my mood in a good place, and in order for the gym to be effective physically, for me, protein is super important and that actually contributes to keeping my energy up. That being said, we are all so different so if you do decide to try semaglutide really pay attention to every side effect you’re having and address immediately even if you have to try different tactics every few days to find what works for you.

    I didn't know that Novo Nordisk had a program to send you a sharps disposal thing (and then a thing to send it back), but my state's health department advises that you put them in a hard plastic container, like a laundry detergent bottle, and when it's 2/3 full, you tape the lid up and throw it in the trash. They will even send you stickers to put on them to show that it is a biohazard, but that's it-- they just go in the trash. It seems wrong, so I just requested the sharps container you recommend!

Told me to just tape the lid and throw in your trash. But I could check with my trash service and make sure. I said I can’t believe these are just getting thrown in the trash. I have also regular needles 💉 because I also have to get B12 injections. But that’s what everyone has said. You just tape up your plastic container and make sure it’s marked biohazard. ☣️ throw out with your regular trash.

      It depends, so far the research indicates only 20% can maintain weight loss after coming off. Many doctors indicate that it is like other meds (eg, blood pressure meds) just because your health stabilizes doesn’t mean you stop taking it. So it’s really a case by case decision with your dr.

      Honestly, it seems like every insurance company has different criteria. From what I’ve learned, only 20% can come off the drug and maintain the weight loss. According to my endocrinologist, we should think similar to blood pressure medication, you wouldn’t stop the meds because your blood pressure normalized. Since it’s only a once a week injection and I’ve had no adverse reactions, I’ll be staying on it as long as my insurance covers it 🙏🏻

    When I joined the military, I Iost so much weight in basic training. Afterwards, I struggled with maintaining expected BMI. It didn't matter if I ate low calorie and worked out 6 days a week. I would fail fitness tests for having too high BMI, even if I met all other standards. Now I suffer from sleep apnea, and the VA blames that on my weight gain. I work a physical job, and eat very minimal amounts of sweets. I drink soda, and eat zero candy. I've recently replaced soda with iced tea. If Wegovy delivers as it promises, I believe I can add many years to my life.

      I do have GERD but that’s not the primary issue.

And because my mother and I always had the same symptoms and she passed from esophageal/stomach cancer, my gastroenterologist keeps me on pantoprazole with regular screenings and endoscopies.
