5 Month Weight-loss Results || Compounded Semaglutide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2024
- Just a quick update on how compounded Semaglutide injections are going for me! So far, so good. I've always been a slow loser when it comes to weight-loss, so I have a lot of patience and am not in a hurry to lose as much as I can, as quickly as I can. Learning not to compare my experience to the experience of others has helped me keep my expectations managed. Thanks for watching!

Hey guys! I tried to do this without background music, as requested. Let me know if this was easier to watch! 💚🐝
Where do you get your meds from?
Yes! Thank you!
A compounding pharmacy in Las Vegas. They don’t ship so you’d have to live there (or have a residence there) to use them. You could try Henry Meds though. I considered them before and they don’t overcharge. 💚🐝
New viewer here! When you said 43 I said no way! Definitely 20’s. You look amazing ❤️
Incredible progress! You seem very content in this video, it’s nice to see! 😊 I started an anti anxiety and had some digestive side effects, but it feels good when your body adjusts and it does what it’s supposed to do! 😊
Thanks Celine! I suppose I do feel content… more content than I was before at least. And you’re right, once you get adjusted to meds it’s so nice to not have side effects! 💚🐝
Best Wishes to you & your son! I think you will maintain your weight loss if you build up your muscle mass. Also watching what you eat.
I’m enjoying the gym so far! I signed my son up for boxing and it’s doing wonders for his physical and mental health. 💚🐝
In 22 days I lost 8.1 kgs (17.83 lbs) on semaglutide. I was 93 kgs (205.03 lb) & right now I am 84.90kgs (187.1 lbs). I’m doing a low GI diet, I cut all the diary & have milk tea only when I’m extremely stressed. I’m 25 years old. I’m also working out everyday at the gym for at least 3 hours (mainly cardio). I hope to loose more weight by the following months.
Wow you’re doing an amazing job! I’ll have to look up what a low GI diet is. Your exercise sounds pretty rigorous/intense. Congrats on the 8.1kg’s gone! 💚🐝
@@RisaBeesa Thankyou Ma’am. Low GI is simply the foods that don’t spike your insulin levels at a faster rate. For example- chocolate or mangoes have high GI index & Cucumber or chickpea have low GI index. I have PCOS (insulin resistance) so loosing weight for me has been really hard but thankfully diet/exercise combined with semaglutide has been able to help me a lot recently.
Thankyou for your lovely comment
@@PinkBeagle14 Oh okay, that makes sense. I had an appt to find out if I was insulin resistant but my doctor was more concerned with my hypertension so the other topic was never addressed. I had to give up caffeine and decrease sodium intake quite a bit. I’ve heard of so many people with PCOS having success with semaglutide and hope you’ll continue to have success in the months to come! 💚🐝
Hey, really amazing journey.
But can I ask you where did you get your semaglutide from ?
Can you please suggest me ?
I want to take a safe form of semaglutide with no side effects.
Please suggest me a compounded medication which is safe .😊
That's awesome but not everyone can spare 3 hours a day for exercise......If you can't spare that amount of time for exerciise ( e.g coz of work commitements) then 1 hour a day is fine for most people....The weight comes off slower is all.
Idk how i missed this update, i can really see a difference in your face
Haha, no worries friend! Heck I miss updates all the time. Life is happening! 😊
You can see a difference between my face here and the one I just uploaded? Sweet!! 💚🐝
Thanks for this!
Of course! Thanks for watching. 💚🐝
I started Wegovy a week ago. Not going to post my wt., but let me say that I love your dog and the snail!☕️💕🥰
Hello there! I hope it’s going well for you so far. Those first few doses made me super lethargic and thirsty. I just wanted to sleep and drink lots of water all the time.
Cowboy (dog) is such a big baby. When we go on walks he thinks all the other dogs wanna be friends and when they aren’t just as excited to see him he will whine. I love snails! I’m a pretty big bug enthusiast but I felt the snail was symbolic of how I tend to lose slowly. My body is never in a hurry for some reason (even when I want it to be!). Thanks for watching! 💚🐝
@@RisaBeesa Yes! I’m sluggish, like a snail. But I like your snail. He or she needs a name. Cowboy is a sweet baby. With Wegovy, I sleep well, but don’t want to get up. And during the day, I’m a slug. And I agree… it’s a good thing we’re to drink tons of water, because I do. I started drinking a protein water, since we’re supposed to get 30gms a day. My biggest problem is me. I had gained so much wt that I rarely leave the house for embarrassment and fatigue. Health problems arose with my weight. And my age is 73. My back hurts when I stand or walk for more than a few minutes. So it’s imperative that I lose weight. And it’s imperative that I participate in the process. This is why I am so very happy. I am seeing changes for the better already! ☕️💕🥰
Excellent progress! Yay for the no more side effects! Also, yay for the working out with your kid. The older they get, the harder it is to find things to do together. Jump at every chance.
Was not even remotely TLDR. Not even a little bit.
Thanks friend!! I had to look up what TLDR meant because I didn’t understand… haha! 😆🤭 Made me wanna file a Hurt Feelings Report. And I’m really looking forward to my son and I getting into gym workouts. You’re right, it’s definitely harder now that he’s 17… one day I’ll be cool again! I do jump at every chance to hang out with him… he’s my favorite human. 💚🐝
Love him! ❤️🤎🐶😍
Aww thanks! He’s such a sweet gentle giant. 💚🐝
I walk 6 days a week 2 hours a day. I love it my starting weight was 175 it’s been 5 months I am now 152 looking forward to seeing 140 lbs so excited I am getting so close my goal weight is 130 lbs
I would be so happy at 150 but if I could get down to 140 that would be an absolute dream. You’re doing so well on the medication. I’m happy for your success! 💚🐝
Without the background music is 100% better...subbed!
Haha, thanks! Enough people chimed in so I had to at least give it a try without music. I guess I felt self conscious that my voice alone sounded boring. I appreciate you watching! 💚🐝
Thanks for this update! I’m about to start my first injections this week. Were there any foods in particular that worsened your side effects?
Thank you for uploading and congrats on your amazing progress!
Yay! Excited for you. For me it wasn’t necessarily specific foods but more the time I ate it. If I ate late at night or ate too much, I’d have the worst acid reflux. Tums chewables were becoming a regular thing. I hope your experience is positive! 💚🐝
I started ozempic a week ago … my starting weight is 310 lbs my goal weight is 160 lbs (I’m 5’10 and a half) I’m also 43 (next week)
That’s so exciting! I hope you adjust to the medication without any setbacks. I had to make a conscious effort not to compare my weight loss to other’s weight loss when they were losing so much faster than me. My weight loss has been so slow and gradual that people at work haven’t quite noticed that I’ve lost weight. My boss noticed but no one else has. It feels good to finally see results and wear my old clothes again! I’m super excited for you. You can do this! 💚🐝
I started 5 days ago. Im taking fiber gummies every day bc im already constipated. No weight loss yet. I do have fatigue, but only after I eat. I never had a bad diet, so I'm eating the same things but smaller. I can not eat sugar, carbs, or anything fatty. I will feel sick afterward. Mild cramps. Im excited to see results.
Nice! Week 1 is almost over for you. Yeah I really had to increase water and add fiber to help with the bathroom issues. It’s not a problem anymore thank goodness. Have you noticed certain foods or drinks you enjoyed before not so enjoyable now? I still enjoy coffee but can hardly drink it. 💚🐝
@RisaBeesa I can't eat sugar, carbs or fatty foods. I only drink half cup coffee as well. My stomach issues are finally getting better.
Oh! I misunderstood and thought those were dietary restrictions you had before taking the medication. I’m with you on the fatty foods! I tried to eat fast food once and felt nauseous.
Try a cup of Smooth move Tea. Works for me
I just took week 2 shot last night. I’ve been a power lifter my whole life. So working out hard has never been an issue. However eating in my sport was mandatory. Over the years I realized that it was time to let go of the sport and focus on my health. I tried to diet but it was extremely hard going from a sport that required you to eat and eat alot to be strong and push heavy weight. Now I’m focused on getting my diet in check. Week 1 was great I was very tired. No real symptoms. Still got all my workouts in and killer them. However I had to count of pre workout to push me through them. I slept really good on week one. Other than that no big symptoms. Week 2 idk how I feel yet. Woke up today craving sweets. I will say that while on the shot I have felt full sooner. I haven’t seen the signs of my body saying “hey no more sweets or hey don’t eat this” I hope this comes soon.
Hey there! From what my provider told me, I was supposed to really expect any magic the whole first month on that lowest dose… so my first 4 shots of 0.25mg I just told myself it was okay if nothing really happened. The food noise leaving my brain has been the biggest benefit for me so far and though I noticed it the first month, it was much more noticeable in the months to come. I have had a couple of bouts of stress-eating this past month and man did I pay for that big time. I’m cheering you on during your journey! 💚🐝
I have an appointment on Tuesday to get a prescription. Yay! Question for you. Overall was the weightloss steady or was it peaks and valleys?
It was not steady in the beginning, the second month in particular. I was weighing frequently and watching it go up one week and down the next… definitely stressed myself out doing that.
Seems like HTN is related to your Sleep Apnea. Maybe an EENT would be beneficial to in determining if you have a structural issue as supposed to respiratory hypoventilation. Although losing weight is definitely a big contributor. If you have some sort of structural issue in the oropharyngeal tract then even if you lose weight you might still have those issues
Good point! I do need to have a new sleep study done to see if I’m still having issues with the sleep apnea. The hypertension is currently being regulated with new medication, but I’m sad that losing weight didn’t help it. You’re right, it must be something else. Thanks for this comment! 💚🐝
I just got all caught up with your vids and now I'm sad you aren't posting anymore! I hope you are doing well!!?!?🤔 🤔 🤔
Thanks for watching! I’m still doing well… just started Month 8 a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t able to record/upload for a bit there but things are finally on the upswing here at home so I’ll get to upload soon. Thank you for being patient! 💚🐝
Bah typed this twice but accidentally erased lol I’ve had a hip replacement too, at age 18, (I’m 37 now) it’s definitely wearing out fast with being between 252-296lbs. I started zepbound 3.5 weeks ago and have lost ten pounds but I can’t get my refill this week so looks like I’m starting a compound in the meantime. All I’m doing for exercise is trying to make the habit of walking a minimum of 30 mins per day.
You’re doing great! I’ve heard good things about Zepbound and it honestly sounds promising for so many people. You were so young for the hip replacement 🥺. I’ve heard of them lasting for 30 yrs before people needing a new one, but I guess it’s different from person to person. Yours is lasting a good while! Good for you though… you saw that something needed to be done with your weight to preserve the joint and you acted on it. Walking is such a nice stress-free way to get daily movement. 💚🐝
I am your height as well. Started at 191 and in 6 weeks I have only lost 8 pounds. I’m more encouraged looking at your weight loss chart as I was thinking I should be losing more. My doctor says I’m right on track. I know what you mean by the elation you feel in your 160s …. I’ve achieved that by excercise and starvation, the wrong way. So my goal weight is also 150-155. I strength train 3 times a week and walk dogs 2-4 miles 2 times a week. Counting my macros! Hoping the weight loss picks up. Best of luck on your journey…
Oh btw…are you experiencing constipation?😖
Thanks for your comment! I feel like the constipation comes and goes but it hasn’t been an issue in a while because I figured out that I occasionally needed to take psyllium husk and also that I needed to eat slower. I kept forgetting to eat all day and then I’d get home from work starving, and I would eat fast. It’s no fun going days without being able to go to the bathroom… then when it was finally “go time”, I would get a wave of nausea and then be totally ok afterwards. The video before this one was just my 1-month experience and I shared about the constipation and some other initial side effects I noticed. We sound very similar with our starting weight and goals! So if you’re on week 6, you’re at 0.5mg (20 units)? I feel like it can be frustrating when we see other people lose like 15 lbs in a month but man, slow and steady isn’t bad. We’re still losing the weight! Wishing you good luck and good health. 💚🐝
I was on Ozempic for two months. My starting weight was 203 and 5’6. Like you, I eat right and exercise. I would lose 4 pounds and go up 4 pounds. My Dr. changed me to Mounjaro. In six weeks I’ve lost 18 pounds. I’m no doctor but You should ask your doctor to change medication’s. You can do some research yourself and you will find that Mounjaro is far more superior to Ozempic for weight loss and everything else. I also use a compounding pharmacy because my insurance won’t pay for it. I’m Pre-diabetic and my A-1 C was 6.0 with an under active thyroid. I also had two strokes in one day (54years old). That’s mostly the reason that I put the weight on in the first place. Good luck to you, God bless…….✌💙
That dog ❤
He’s the snuggliest boy! 💚🐕💚
I'm a week in almost on Ozempic. I have lost 3 lbs. On the. 25
That’s good! How are you feeling? Any side effects?💚🐝
Had to rewind the video back when you said 43 my guess would have been 28-30
Aww you’re too sweet for saying that! Haha, I’ll be 44 next month and am hoping to reach 160lbs by my birthday. 💚🐝
Congratulations. What weight loss tracker do you use?
Thanks so much! I don’t use a tracker and just keep track in the notes on my phone or write it down and then put the numbers in a spreadsheet to make a graph. There are probably a lot of good trackers apps out there though! 💚🐝
I have a RENPHO scale from Amazon, it has an associated app that tracks my weight loss across several dimensions such as bone density, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat etc. I recently bought the RENPHO smart measuring device and it tracks using the same app.
Question regarding your rate of loss- How many calories did you eat daily?
Also, do you eat healthy? Lean protein ? Like an egg and and egg whites for breakfast.?
I’m eating 1200 a day and super healthy and my loss has been 12 pounds in less than 2 months.🤷🏼♀️
My rate of weight loss has been slower than most but it’s always been that way no matter what method I try. I eat about 1200 calories a day, approximately. For breakfast I typically have a bacon/egg burrito on a low card tortilla, and then a Factor meal for dinner. Sometimes I skip breakfast because I’m in a hurry and end up taking a protein shake and a banana to work instead. 💚🐝
My doc offered this to me and I only need to lose about 20lbs …this stuff is way too common…I said no way…I have a friend in the hospital with a blockage right and is on Ozempic. Careful, this is an unknown slippery slope. Hope it helps some..but I would be very wary.
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend… that’s awful. The medication certainly comes with risks, which is why I titrated up so slowly. There are some who will want get to the highest dose as quickly as possible so they’ll titrate quicker. I’m the opposite and have tiptoed slowly into the next dose every time. Even so, I am not exempt from some minor side effects. I think that this medication is not for everyone, but so far it’s working for me. Thanks for your insight and sharing about your friend! I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss endeavors; you can do it! 💚🐝
Yep. That happens if there is not good medical who doesn’t prescribe for the right reasons, doesn’t give good patient education on the “do s and don’ts” while on the med, what to report and watch for, and regular labs…etc. It is too frequent that meds are simply given for the wrong reasons. 😢
I have been on the compounded version for one week now. When did you start noticing results?
Thanks for your comment! I noticed the decreased appetite within the first two weeks, and felt my belt start loosening a little after the first month. Some people lose fast but not me… I’m slow and steady but that’s okay! I hope things continue to go well for you. 💚🐝
Please update what are you eating with it so not to loose muscles
I definitely think I’ve had some muscle loss despite eating a high protein meal and protein shake for breakfast. I think the best way to avoid muscle loss (for you and for me both!) is to do strength or resistance training. That’s the advice others have given to me anyhow! Hope this helps. 💚🐝
What kind of exercise program are you thinking of? I doubt any of the standard personal trainer certs out there really address getting a still young person back to work after having a total hip done! Maybe someone with an actual sports science degree?
I had a personal trainer last year and just couldn’t afford her anymore with my low-paying job. I was trying to invest in myself and while my savings were shrinking, my body wasn’t. I think that I’ll try some old workouts/routines I used to do in the military but adjusted a bit since I’m older and slightly robotic now. You’re absolutely right though… if I do get a trainer again I want someone who can work with this funny hip of mine. Thanks for your comments btw! 💚🐝
@@RisaBeesa for sure. Do you remember all your post hip precautions? Obv I can’t know if you had an anterior or posterior approach, but there are clearly some basic movements you will want to stay away from. Like, deadlifts and deep squats? I spent a lot of time working in outpatients ortho, and then ran a post op floor for ortho, but most of that is a bit dated, and none of it that helpful for wellness work years down the road!
@@lovejoy1311 Well I was scheduled for a “direct superior” approach using the robot for extra precision, but the tech CT’d the wrong hip. No one noticed the imagery was incorrect until I was already sedated in the OR so, as the surgeon put it to me in recovery, he had to “go old school”. It took a very long time to recover and the main post-op instruction I remembered was to initially avoid internal rotation and to never do the pigeon pose in yoga. It’s been about 5 1/2 years now. 💚
@@RisaBeesa medicine, man. We aren’t that good at it! Well, I would avoid all running. And keep any weighted lifts that use lower extremity to a limited range. It’s not a “native” joint, so it can’t heal from accrued damage, or improve from being stressed.
@lovejoy1311 thanks for the tips! Yeah there’s something about accepting that there’s nothing quite like a real joint. Here’s hoping this one lasts! 💚🐝
I am on week 6 loss of 5lbs. Have not increased my dose. Thought I would have lost more. I walk 30 or more minutes a day. My pants have been feeling a little looser Should I increase my dosage
Hey 5 lbs is 5 lbs. I lose very slowly compared to some. I stayed on the lowest dose for 4 weeks and increased at week 5. Did your prescriber give you a dosing/titration schedule to follow?
How much does the compounded semaglutide cost per month and which pharmacy do you use?
So I pay $300 for a 4ml vial. The compounding pharmacy my provider uses is in Las Vegas and she actually ships it to me. The two vials lasted me the first 5 months since the doses were low enough that I could stretch it out. I just started the 3rd vial 2 weeks ago but I know it won’t last as long since my dose is up to 1.75mg (the syringe goes up to 100 units and I use 70 units per injection). I’ve heard good things about Henry Meds… and it’s the same price! They do their consultations and follow up appts via tele-health. 💚🐝
I should add: once I get to the max dose of 2.5mg, the 4ml vial will only last a month so I’ll be paying $300/mo.
How to order this can you please help me for more info on this
If you can’t get a prescription from your regular doctor/provider, you can try Googling Henry Meds and setting up a telehealth appointment. 💚🐝
4months later and I haven't lost nothing yet 😢
Oh no 🙁… I’m so sorry to hear that. What does your doctor say? 💚🐝
I'm on 5 months and its been so slow so far.
@@ivillasenor2829 it can be really slow for some of us. I think I’m actually stalled right now! 😳
I'm experiencing severe exhaustion I'm supposed to go up to 2mg and I don't think I will. I can't exercise! Thank God I'm in between jobs because I would be fired. Anyone else?
Makes me exhausted as well every time I go on higher dose
From what I've researched, you might should talk to your doctor about reducing your dose for a few weeks and gradually work your way back up.
I definitely feel a bit run down initially when I increase the dose, but then it goes away. Does your exhaustion ever subside? I’ve been very slow about increasing the dose, so the first 7.5 months I still hadn’t gotten to the max dose. 💚🐝
Hy, can I start with the 1.75g instead ??
Keep in mind, I’m not a medical professional… but this is a medication that providers give a titration schedule with because your body has to adapt to it. For some people, 1.7 mg is their maintenance dose and for others 2.4 mg is… but everyone titrates up to those doses as they are not starting doses. I hope this makes sense. I just want you to be safe and informed, so please talk to your doctor first. 💚🐝
Does Tricare cover your cost or do you pay out of pocket?
I pay out of pocket, $300 for a 4ml vial.
Any new updates? :)
Things are finally slowing down here at home and I’ll be recording/uploading some time this week actually! It’s been a minute. I am still doing good and look forward to updating y’all. 💚🐝
Does anyone know what compound she is using? Who is she getting it from, like hers, henry med, etc?
@@adrianacollado316 I know! Haha. She is me, so I’ll answer. It is the compounded semaglutide with L-carnitine and I am currently at 1.75mg. I’m not getting it from Henry Meds, but I’ve heard they’re reliable and reasonably priced. Mine are just from a local compounding pharmacy in Las Vegas, because that is where my provider is and I spend part of my time out there which is the only way I am able to get it filled. So it’s not something like Henry Meds, which is more convenient for people all over the country to be able to get. Hope this helps answer your question! 💚🐝
@@RisaBeesa thanks for the information! I appreciate the answer and the video
@@adrianacollado316 of course! Always happy to answer any questions from you guys. Thanks for watching! 💚🐝
Risa, just wondering if you had to reconstitute your Semaglutide with water? What was the dose of Semaglutide 10mg?
Oh I didn’t have to mix anything, the compounding pharmacy gives me a vial of liquid semaglutide and l-carnitine at 2.5mg and 100mg per ml. So a 4ml vial has a total of 10mg semaglutide and 400mg l-carnitine total. Hopefully my math is correct. I’m glad I’m not having to mix this stuff myself! 💚🐝
@@RisaBeesa thanks Risa best of luck to you
@mikeblake6357 thanks Mike! To you as well if you’re on a journey to lose weight. 💚🐝
I’m on week 5 and nothing 😢😭 like 4 pounds 😢
Same for me. It's so discouraging
@@mistymitchell2469 🥺😔 let’s keep trying 🙏🏽☺️
What does your dosing schedule look like? I was on 0.25mg the first 4 weeks… I’ve heard a lot of people don’t lose at all the first month, and then start seeing things change in the second month. Then there are some who just never see benefits from semaglutide but have tons of success with tirzepatide. I hope that things start to happen for you! 💚🐝
Once your dose increases, you will. But .25 and .5 really didn't do squat for me. But 1.0 I started seeing something I'm about to start 2.0 pretty soon
Thank you all for your messages and support… II’m trying so hard… I’m eating less and less, taking vitamins and drinking lots of water. I do have a drink here and there…
Tail wagging in the background ❤😊
Cowboy is pretty fond of making appearances. 😆🤭
Also no side effects for me at all
So lucky! Some people see zero side effects, some see all the side effects and then there’s me… who saw just a few and they were all manageable thankfully! 💚🐝
Sweetheart u don't need to lift weights or do any crazy exercising for weight loss im a 5,8 man got up to 325 now im 185 muscular energetic i had diabetes high blood pressure my vision was gone and thank God i don't take any medication totally healthy how i did it ?

Wow you've done an amazing job! That is an insane amount of weight to lose. I've heard some people mention how fixing their gut bacteria was key to finally losing weight and I'm so glad you figured it out and reached your goal. How is your vision? Was it almost gone because of the diabetes diagnosis? Again, thank you for sharing this!
You DO need to lift weights! If you lose weight without preserving your muscle, then you rebound weight really badly, only next time you will have even less muscle, which will make losing the rebound weight harder. Please, if you take Ozempic for weight loss you MUST prioritize working the muscles and preserve as much as possible!
Absolutely. I’ve gotta preserve and build as much muscle as possible. Thanks for adding this! 💚🐝
I could tell straight away bee that you’d lost weight on your face and yes to lift weights you have to have them 😂😂
Aww really?? I watched the video and kept thinking about how I wished my face showed the weight loss because I couldn’t see it. Thank you for saying that! And yes, gotta have actual weights if I wanna lift them. 🤭
Can you drink alcohol while on semaglutide?
Not really recommended. Especially for diabetics or people tryna lose weight.
I don’t do it, but I’m also on blood pressure medication so I shouldn’t drink at all. 💚🐝

Hi thanks for the comment. I went from 186 to 168 in 5 months. My hypertension isn’t resolved just yet, but I mentioned it along with other health issues that led me to want to try something different to lose the weight. Other than that, you seem to have gotten the gist of the video! Thanks so much. 💚🐝
Just realized TLDR = Too Long Didn’t Read ☹️ and is used when a post/video is too long and boring.
I kept the video pretty short. Hopefully people still watch it.
@@RisaBeesa8 minutes should not constitute a “too long, didn’t read” moment. Not to worry!
@lovejoy1311 thanks for the reassurance 🤭. I felt so old having to Google what it meant.. goodness. I was happy to keep it under 10 minutes. I feel guilty when a video is over 10 minutes because I don’t want to take that much time away from someone. 😆😆
@@RisaBeesa lol, I’m older than you, and I’m sure I have more “I’m too old for this” moments! My kids are forever keeping me appraised of where I have failed to keep up.
