Who cares
You watched it.
I care! You PoS!
Thanks for pinning this, made my day. What a jackass 😁
that statement only reflects on u; shame on u.
I care too. Love Jaime
We appreciate your honesty and transparency on this channel. We will support you no matter what.
❤💯!
Same
Well, not no matter what. I'm sorry Jamie but if you start Anakin Skywalker killing children I'm not gonna support u anymore 😅
❤❤❤❤❤
@miuleauna that’s fair 😂
Thank you. As a nurse, I am concerned with how a prescription drug becomes so popular. I'm glad it works for some people... But it's a DRUG, and it will not work universally for all people. You also talked a lot about how you continued to communicate with, and work with your doctor. People need to hear that. I'm sorry it was so awful for you.
Because of the amount of titration that takes place… most people continue communication with their doctors.
Your inability to sleep may be affected by your apple watch. Don't sleep with it on!
Lol just like the COVID Jab huh
So sorry ozempic didn't work for you. I have been on it for almost 2 yrs I think with a 70 lb weight loss !! Normal BS, A1C normal, off insulin. Have had gastric issues off and on but not quite bad enough to go off ozempic ! My neighbor also has has good success but her sister was on it and , like you, saw no benefit of weight loss. I do think of it as an amazing drug and again, so sorry for your experience 😬
No one knows what the long term effects are going to be . I practiced pharmacy for 43yrs . There were many drugs removed from the market after being used for many years because deadly of side effects discovered later .
Hey, Jaime. I “lost control” I say delicately coming up the steps of the subway on 42nd St. in New York City. It was summer so no coat, wearing a dress. all I had was my transit pass. I went to a nearby building and asked the guards to use the bathroom which they refused. I started to cry and the older guard took me to a ladies room and stood guard outside so nobody could come in. I still pray for him and his kindness.
Hi Serene. Mine isn’t ozempic related but I wanna make you feel better about yourself. So I did that once at Walmart - my stomach was off. I have lots of back and forth between sprinkler and cement truck - at that time I was in love with a certain soup that i shouldve ran away from… at work anyways- thank god this was 2006 and thick velour track suits were in style. And I had a nice one in chocolate brown. I had just moved into a new place and needed sheets. I had no couch yet and the floor needed new carpet. No other options. I don’t sleep on my brand new mattress with no sheets right??? Let’s go to the store with the shitz. So ok I’m not feeling good. It’s 5am and I am dead tired…. I’m in Walmart- the super huge one. And On my way to the bedding section which used to be way way in the back I feel the need …. The need for speeding to the nearest bathroom except I had to squeeze my cheeks so hard. I was sweating. I was there forever and someone came into the aisle. So I said ok. Go to the bathroom in the back. As soon as I took a step I shit myself. All down my legs. I went to the bathroom. Cleaned my legs. Tossed the undies. Went shopping for sheets. Stood in line smelling like diarrhea and then put down plastic bags in the car and drove home. I told my roommate and she listened said 😳🫣🤫. And went into her room
I'm so sorry. My husband was on it for about 2 years. It has DESTROYED his stomach and intestines. He took it for pre diabetes. He lost weight yes, but it was not worth it. As soon as he stopped, which everyone eventually has to, he gained it all back then some. He has horrible spastic colon and paralyzed stomach. Pain almost every day. It was and is horrible. Cannot leave for anywhere without knowing where a bathroom is. Doctors are prescribing this to everyone. Think twice people.
My Mom passed away from diabetes complications as a young adult. I'm at high risk so I took Mounjaro for like 2 weeks and then got scared because the food would not get digested. I would taste last night's meal the next day so then I just decided not to eat solids only protein shakes. I stopped bc I was scared of getting gastroparesis at the lowest dose. I COULD NOT imagine going up in dose.
@@Lynn-mf2ylI can have ozempic if I want because I'm diabetic, but I'm too scared to take it!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been having my nutritionist at Mayo clinic fighting my insurance on this for me. I've been so stressed out because they said I'm prediabetic at 102 not fasting blood work 😂 So, anyway, I'm no longer going to try and get this medication thanks to you and this information. You saved me. So please tell your husband how sorry I feel for him, and prayers for him being sent. But tell him, because of your post about him, you saved me. If you only saved one person from this drug, you made the difference. Lots of love to you and your husband. 🤗
I've talked to people who are 100 lbs over weight who can't get it.
It says to eat right and exercise with this. Not just eat crap bc remember it's for diabetes management
My husband was on Ozempic for two years for type 2 diabetes. He slowly turned into a sad, anxious little man.
A couple of months ago, there was an Ozempic shortage so the doctor switched him to Rybelsus. It has the same main ingredient as Ozempic which is semaglutide. Within a couple of weeks, my poor husband was so panicky he could barely function. I told him my findings about semaglutide and mood changes and he quit cold turkey. Four weeks later he's feeling much better but isn't completely out of the woods yet. I hope and pray he will make a full recovery and that those drugs haven't made permanent changes to his brain.
When you don’t eat super healthy AND workout, you don’t get all that you need.
You will become anxious and sad and other things when you are being malnourished
It’s sucks because I’ve been on all the sides of this medication and
It’s very delicate
It’s a balance
If you aren’t all in and keeping up with water in take, same routine and same simple foods everyday
This is where troubles begin
I am all over the place, the first time I took it I was doing SO GOOD
my husband got laid off so I wasn’t able to eat like I was before and it was making me so sad I didn’t go workout
I started again and I didn’t
Have the tools(food) I needed, we were so broke!
It messed me up so bad!!!!
Either you’re ready and all in or don’t do it , it’s seriously our life change and it’s not a miracle drug you have to put in the work and you have to be consistent day and day out for as long as it takes
It’s hard to explain to everyone, but I’ve been on all sides of Ozempic before I started, after I started, I was successful, and I had the worst experience, because I am so inconsistent. Moneywise I Olympic is not for me
Sometime in the future, when I am able to get food that I need to be successful
Now I'm offically scared... as I start this tomorrow 😮😮😮
Just pay attention to what's normal for you to feel and whether or not difficult life circumstances could be the cause of any new depression or anxiety. If the ozempic is the only link, then you know it's time to try something else.
I hope it works out for you. @collettewhosthatgirl1330
@collettewhosthatgirl1330 I've been on it since Nov 2022 for diabetes. It's lowered my A1c to 5.3 and I've lost 60 pounds. I have no symptoms at all. At first I would get a bit of nausea, but I don't even get that anymore.
Could it also be his unhealthy diet that’s causing this imbalance
Jaime is sooo good at talking about something serious while also making you laugh the entire time.
Not taking everything so seriously is a great way of relieving daily stress.
Is she drunk, or stoned?
Jaime I am seeing you for the first time!!! Nice to meet you. I am a registered nurse and so many coworkers are taking Ozempic. I had to try it and had negative effects. I do not have any of the conditions you have but had tremendous gastric and gut pain. Like you, I continued to talk myself into believing it was my fault, my diet, my body, until one day my pain felt like pancreatitis, pain, so intense, went around to my back; I called in sick to work and I finally went off of it. I did lose 25 lbs, but gained 10 back as soon as I went off. After a couple months Ozempic free and am now on Mounjaro day 3. So far so good and no gastric upset. As far as the insomnia, I used to say I will never be able to sleep, but it will happen for you. Love yourself, be kind to yourself and slow down. I believe a lot of weight is stress related. I don't mean to preach and say all with love, but I am 60 and rest much better since I am older. I will pray you rest well and sleep. Much love and God Bless you sweetie. Love your open honest genuine freedom. What a gift.
Your an amazing soul ma'am ❤️
Are you doing better on Mounjaro? I hope so🙏
I don’t understand what happened to people just taking phentermine. Neither drug is “safe” but phentermine seems a hell of a lot safer and is quite effective, short term, and with much more mild side effects. It also isn’t taking from people who need their diabetic medication.
@@teeeff8337phentermine is illegal in California & also that shit is legit meth lol I tried to take it and it would crack me out I got off that bs so quick
My daughter took Ozempic, got super constipated and spent 18 straight days in the hospital with complications from bowel obstruction. So scary...
I think that’s how elvis daughter Priscilla presley passed away
I got sooooo CONSTIPATED AND WAS PROJECTILE VOMITING , I think I was on the cusp of having a bowel blockage
Yes these shots are very dangerous side affects and when u stop them u gain triple the weight back it’s a temporary fix not permanent all of these are no good it’s a money making scam and their are law suits going on with all these meds !
you are supposed to drink LOTS of water, both with Ozempic and Wegovy.
Take stool softeners too
“I knew I’d have it harder because of my thyroid problems, PCOS, and daddy issues” she was so real for that one 😩💀💀 clinically depressed, autoimmune disorder gang RISE UP ☝️💯🥲
Hypothyroid, pcos and ed 🎉🎉yayyyyyyy
Depression and lupus 🎉🎉
Luckily both (the latter more than the former) are pretty much gone after starting keto and banning processed food.
Same here, RA & AS, Endometriosis & Hashimotos here the autoimmune depression and fatigue struggle is real! 💯🫶🏻🤟🏻
I appreciate seeing this. Depressive disorder and hashimotos thyroiditis here. I think I'll avoid this drug that I was tempted to ask about
I *had* hyperthyroidism and an ED, but both are cleared up and I feel so much better, not 100% though ;) still struggle with viatmins and iron :'3
Long time viewer! I wanted to add something I think would be important.
I work in clinical research and was working on a study for this specific drug. The one thing that was repeated over and over at the conferences, meetings, study guides, etc. was that it causes GI issues for most users. In order to maintain the best possible results for the drug, we had to coach our participants on diet, exercise, and *honesty*. We encouraged (not forced, but it was HIGHLY encouraged) our subjects to avoid spicy foods and follow a healthy diet. We offered “goodie bags” with materials that helped them as their trial progressed. It was VERY important that we took time to explain the GI side effects and they gave us every measure on how to reduce them if a participant began having them. I do not think it should be so widely available because it is a longterm and sometimes lifelong commitment. A lot of people gain weight back after stopping. It’s hard seeing everyone receive this drug so casually when in reality it should be handled with great care. Thank you for being so transparent!! All that glitters is not gold!
Megan, I also work in Clinical Research and was wondering what the study was like for this drug. Your comment was so helpful for me. Thank you!!
Thank you for great feedback on the reality, really interesting to read.
Thanks for spreading the accurate information about this product
How long did the trial last? I was on it due to what my dr said..which was inaccurate, insulin resistance.. I never suffered from uti or thyroid pain until I was 3 months into the treatment. My sister began having thyroid pain and she had some growth on it, now she has to take euterox. I questioned it and stopped the second I started literally peeing blood. It is a serious drug and has serious side effects. I am beyond shocked at how this is easily purchased and self diagnosed by people for weightloss (and I see even family members taking this just to lose 20lbs) this is dangerous and needs to be controlled for only people who are candidates for it.
Imagine what the medical community will reveal after a few years of observing people using these meds for the weight loss and not as a diabetic. Not throwing shade but phen phen was just this back in the day and doctors were encouraging all of us to use this miracle weight drug. Turned out to cause heart problems.
Thank you for sharing your story. Five weeks ago, my endocrinologist put me on the drug to lose weight and control my blood sugar. I too have thyroid issues and type 2 diabetes and other medical issues. Day 2 after taking the injection I started with the severe nausea, every single day with feelings of being unwell all of the time. Called the office and was assured that the nausea would go away by week four. Not! Vomiting started along with the nausea. My appetite was gone, and my morning blood sugars was in the 50's and 60's. I could only eat very small meals. I lost only 8 pounds in 5 weeks. I did not take the 5th week dose of the increase to 0.5mg. I see the doctor next month and will tell him then that I will not be taking any more of that drug. I may be fat, but I've lived this long, I'm 67, so I'll die fat with no nausea and vomiting. For those that take it without problems and lose weight, good for you. For those who have problems, I really feel for you.
Or you could request an anti nausea medication, and stick it out until you’re pleased with the results. Good luck
I’m 30 pounds overweight and more than happy to stay this way! Ozempic is a HARD pass for me.
A low carbohydrate diet or keto diet gives the same benefits without the troubles. Dr. Ken D. Berry has a UA-cam channel with lots of videos on how to do this. This has lowered my A1C by 1.2 points in 8 months (just low carb 100 mg a day) without side effects.
Take chromium picolinate. Read about it!
My dad was type 2 diabetic and after taking C.P. for a year his tests show that he doesn't have it anymore!
One thing I’ve learned with having medical problems is trust your body if you know something is wrong or you second guess yourself don’t. You are absolutely right.
Jaime, there's a saying in Ireland. "Hindsight is foresight for a gobshite" . If you knew then what you know now, you would never had gone through it. I've watched your confidence grow over the last few years but you still don't see yourself as most of your followers do. A beautiful person both inside and out who entertains and genuinely makes me belly laugh at your content. No meds needed, you're great just as you are ❤
She’s beautiful. It’s the beauty standards of this CULTure that are the problem.
She might need medication for PCOS weight management. I had a friend with PCOS (who sadly passed away very young in an unrelated accident) and I remember she was always on diets and exercising, and trying so hard to stay in shape, but the PCOS made it incredibly hard for her to stay at a healthy weight, no matter how diligent she was. Jaime pretty much said the same thing in the video. It’s one thing to have self-love and acceptance, but it’s another to want to manage a health condition and be at the weight you want to be. Chronic illness is incredibly hard, especially with comorbitity. That said, medical professionals, friends, and family memeber really need to listen to the feelings of the chronically i’ll and not dismiss them or talk them into a medication that is obviously doing them harm or has awful side effects.
I couldn't of said that better myself, well said Niamh Brennan. I would love Jaime to see herself through our eyes she's amazing.
@@aWomanFreed it’s not about beauty, it’s about health. I feel more beautiful when I’m overweight, but I’m less healthy. Sorry to break it to you, blood pressure and hearts and joints don’t care about beauty.
@@cringeproof100 that’s a ridiculous comment. U are dividing health and beauty, I did not do that.
I cant deal with those "fatphobic" labels. I cant believe wanting to be healthy is a negative thing. We all love you Jaime, thick or skinny!
I think misery loves company. When someone gets upset your trying to lose weight for yourself and they take it personally it’s because they are jealous you are doing something they can’t or won’t. I would bet that if most of the people crying fatphobic had a fairy godmother tell them they could make them skinny in that moment they would do it in a heartbeat.
I don't think improving your health is fatphobic. Being so insistent on the possibilty of not being fat anymore, that you are willing to live in constant pain, damaging your organs, and no longer living your life, is fat phobic. Skinny=/=healthy. Fat=/=unhealthy.
I'm not saying Jaime is fatphobic. I don't know her personally and I appreciate her candor, but I think this situation is worth unpacking with a ED specialist.
@@daniellerichardson5900 I disagree. And with all due respect, it sounds like that's exactly what you're saying. Being phobic means your scared of something, I truly believe that Jaime just wanted badly for this medicine to work. I mean heck, you see everyone around you getting results, I would keep trying as well. Not wanting to admit that this medicine was causing her issues, is waaaayyyyyy different than being fat phobic. And when did this word salad "fat phobic" become so prevalent? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes with the stuff that comes out of the internet.
I dunno, y'all... I AM FAT-PHOBIC for myself, in my OWN body, because it's self centered fear only. I was born in '85, 6'1", and had to sew her own clothes because XL wasn't large enough. Kate Moss was the icon then. I know it's not my fault and I know it's unhealthy to fear your body, but I think a "phobia" is a new Vocab term for me, for myself at least.
I don't give 2 💩 about OTHER peoples' bodies TBH. I actually get triggered by people trying to lose body fat because they often don't need to, but I have to be delicate about if I'll be authentic with them or not.
Anywho... Fat-phobia... If that's part of my disordered ideas about food: I'm afraid of fat because of what the world says ABOUT fat people. Cool, next therapy topic 😂
I love the comments section!
@Leigh Ann McDowell Does homophobic mean scared of gay folx? Or general disgust and rejection? What would you call going to any and all lengths to distance yourself from "fatness" out of disgust and rejection?
I'm glad you posted this. I am on Ozempic with no negative side effects. But when I searched for negative side effects, I found nothing. I'm glad to know. Good info for my brain file.
I lost 85lbs and I feel like I got a whole new life and can share clothes with my daughter and don’t have to be on blood pressure meds anymore. But I don’t have any other preexisting conditions. I’m prepared to take it til I die. I don’t pee when I cough anymore and my body doesn’t constantly ache, but I agree, you are not the ideal candidate. I’m sorry it was so awful for you girl.
Semaglutide has been a godsend for me. VERY few (and always tolerable) side effects. I guess I have been lucky. The weight loss has changed my life.
Why don't doctors see the connection of gall bladder, thyroid, IBD, PCOS, high blood pressure, fibroids etc.? Women with these problems find losing weight nearly impossible with exercise and diet. This drug and these women do not do well, and suffer. Jaime thank you, sharing this is an example of being a brave woman.
if that were the case they would not loose weight on ozempic etc...but they do..because they eat less --- an amazing drug and far less dangerous than obesity which is the number 2 contributor to cancers behind smoking
O would wonder, u r carb/sugar sensitive, poison for u? Something Jas to work for you, lots of water, running, aerobics, 3-Xs A week, lift some min weights.
So, something will work for UR weight lpss.
Most, 99.99999999999% hate alr, she is a pathological liar, gas lighter, abusive to gf and their moms, out and out arrogant mean hateful girl.Character trait of a Blizzard in the middle of a highway.
From what Ive seen low carb or even no carb works really well due to the fact that we don't deal great with sugars due to insulin resistantce and carbs are just complex sugars that are harder to break down
@@downieduck2414 Did you watch the video? For some women it is a life saver, for others very detrimental to their lives. Jaimie did not lose an ounce, even with no appetite and debilitating diarrhea and neither do many women with these issues. That is the whole point of Jaimie's post, she tried as hard as she could. I know women who starved themselves and showed signs of malnutrition and still did not lose. Telling these women to just diet and exercise harder and the weight will come off is abusive.
@@deboranontell9711true…I can’t lose one damn pound no matter what I do!
Celina spooky boo just did a video about her terrible experience with Ozempic. I'm SO glad you guys are speaking out about your experiences.
I justed watched her video this week! I think that by Celina opening up about their terrible experiences with this class of medication, more creators will as well. The severe adverse psychological side effects that they both spoke about are scary. Even with knowing everyone will have a different experience and that those are said to be treated side effects, I kinda want to see the clinical trial data.
I, too, just watched that video. I think the truth of side effects aren't being told as readily because of the user trying to justify them so they can finally find something that helps them to stop incessantly thinking about food.
I wondered if anyone else saw that. I mean, of course they did, but i wondered if there was crossover. ❤ Thanks for sharing, that had to suck big eggs. 😢
Just watched this week too. I work in pharmacy, the amount of people trying to get these meds and how much they’re paying is nuts.
I just commented the same thing. Should have kept reading. 😂 My Dr suggested it after phentermine quit helping but I’m pretty sure I want nothing to do with this. I cannot spare the time or space for a mental health crisis.
ETA not that anyone can, but I have a gaggle of kids and grad school and I’m barely surviving as is and am convinced I cannot take the risk to feel as poorly as Celina or Jaime did.
It’s amazing you didn’t lose ANY weight!! As a long-time RN I’m sooooo happy you’re not taking that shit anymore🙏
Amen 🙏
I am considering Semiglutide. The week before my period all I can think is FOOD! I fukking It. Please excuse my language. 😢
Wegovy almost killed my sister. Shes 35. She was in the hospital for an entire month and almost died from dehydration and starvation because her stomach lost the ability to digest entirely. She had her gallbladder removed and its caused long term liver damage.
Yes, can cause even pancreatitis!
I’m so sorry your sister had to go through that. God bless you and your family, as well as her recovery🩷
I was on it for 6 weeks and got pancreatitis and had my gallbladder removed also. This stuff is poison.
@@maryparsons3748
Great to know you survived the pancreatitis!
So sorry your sister has gone through so much. People don’t understand how horrible gastroparesis is & I don’t think believe it could happen to them. The reason there is a lack of appetite is because the food you ate just sits in your stomach. You will eventually have to throw it all up or it will move through the intestines very quickly & cause very watery diarrhea. That means no nutrients have time to be absorbed. Weight loss, loss of strength & electrolytes are messed up. Dangerous drug imo.
I am 78 and Ozempic caused such severe constipation I had to stop. Loss weight, but it was muscle mass, not fat. My intestines are still in recovery.
Carnivore needs no drugs
@constancecondit4349 I also have constipation but stopped for over a month but, still have constipation. How long did it take you to resolve? Mine could be another med, trying to figure it out! Thanks you
So many things cancause constipation but so many dont know enough to figure out the triggers unfortunately
Yes & it’s taking forever to figure it out, medication by medication. I was so excited about my results from Ozempic & I have been off of it for over 8 weeks yet still constipated! Your right it could be anything
@@lindaM82224 I stopped Ozempic in Oct 2023 and finally got fairly normal in middle Jan 2024. The brain is involved so it takes a bit.
Still gassy and burping so still acting up. (New since Ozempic.) I think my age (78) is a big factor. Muscle mass loss and the intestines are a muscle.
Love that you mentioned your weight loss was more likely from cutting out dairy. I’ve been on the elimination diet since January. After cutting out dairy, process foods & gluten I’ve lost about 20 pounds. It looks like I’ve lost 40 though because all my inflammation is gone! Not to mention my brain fog is gone, sleeping better, higher metabolism & less food anxiety. I wish doctors would look more at food intolerance instead of going off the idea people are overweight because they’re constantly eating & they just need an appetite suppressant.
Processed food is like drugs. All that sugar and salt makes your brain light up as if you're taking heavy illegal drugs.
So if you cut food, are you eating the same amount? Or are you also eating less?
THIS!! People are so focused on the amount their eating but not focused on how WHAT they’re eating is affecting their bodies.
The carnivore elimination diet helped me lost 60 lbs from my initial weight of 220 lbs
I couldn't lose weight until i stopped gluten. Slow but down 50 lbs and kept it off for more than a decade.
I’m so sorry you went through all of that. I’m sure your perspective will help a lot of people, so thank you for being vulnerable about it.
You are very entertaining, I even listened to the ads! I always normally skip them. Good on you for being so down to earth, informative, and entertaining all wrapped up in the one package.
As someone with pcos who is currently up 15lbs for literally no reason I appreciate you sharing because it’s not just the weight it’s so many other things, mental health, lack of sleep, the anxiety & depression. Being pre-diabetic that comes up with just that 1 diagnosis, + any other diagnosis that you have. It’s exhausting sometimes to just exist & find the will power to push through. So I can’t stress it enough, THANK YOU! For sharing such a vulnerable experience.
I have pcos but I gained weight from oral steroids bc I have lung issues rn . The stretch marks are what’s getting to me… they’re borderline taking up my entire upper thighs and on my lower back they’re super dark and deep :(
I hope you get to a healthy weight. Please read the first law of thermodynamics. You are not gaining 15 lbs for no reason. You are consuming enough calories to gain those 15 lbs. PCOS makes it a harder to lose weight, I’m sure. I have hypothyroidism and I have lost 92lbs since the pandemic began. Take accountability for your actions, take responsibility and take action. I lost the weight when I stopped using my hypothyroidism as an excuse
@@priscillaflores7656 I'm glad that this is your story, but you can't use that to beat it over people's heads. While being in a calorie deficit or surplus determines whether you'll lose or gain weight and the law of thermodynamics explains this, it doesn't account for the things that affect whether someone can get into a deficit/surplus. Having PCOS can reduce your metabolic rate by up to 700 calories. And this may take time, there are countless stories of young women who were thin but hairy as teenagers when they first got their diagnoses, but as they got older and the metabolic symptoms of PCOS kicked in like increased insulin resistance and decreased metabolic rate, they packed on the weight. One of the things that helps doctors diagnose the condition is significant weight gain.
On the other hand, I have experience with a mild form of hyperthyroidism that really won't give me other symptoms except heat sensitivity and dropping 30+ lbs in six months without changing my intake. And I understand that to be because my metabolic rate increased because of this condition. So it's not all about behaviours. You can even see Jaime here talking about being on a 300-400 calorie deficit from her usual intake on this drug, but still losing very little after several weeks. It isn't about "excuses".
@@priscillaflores7656 good for u. But hyperthyroidism isn’t the same as PCOS or Cushing’s or Prader Willi’s syndrome, etc. Instead of assuming people aren’t taking accountability ask yourself what makes you feel comfortable enough to tell another person on the internet what they’re doing wrong without knowing their medical history? Some people DO gain weight for no reason and end up having to see a professional after trying counting calories and learning about nutrition. It’s how many people end up getting tests and later a diagnosis.
People need more hobbies, and participate in community service, to keep their brains busy. Otherwise "just existing" becomes difficult.
I am a type 2 diabetic and started on ozempic a few weeks ago. I started to see weight loss almost immediately. The side effects have been mild so far with the exception of always feeling nauseous when I’m eating. I get that it is an appetite suppressant, but it has made it difficult to enjoy food. But my blood sugar has almost instantly regulated itself.
I am type 2 and I appreciate that you shared your experience. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I will try it.
I’m type 2 diabetic getting ready to start it. This comment is reassuring
I am a type two diabetic and I’ve been on it for a year and a half. I have lost that one 50 pounds so far it’s kind of at a standstill right now but that’s fine with me. I went through the nausea and throwing up a little bit, but eventually it quit And I have a 5.3 a 1C so I’m very happy with that.
😊
Congratulations. 😊 Sadly It isn’t working for me. The struggle continues.
You’re not fatphobic, that’s just ridiculous. You are concerned about your health. That should always be supported. ❤
Thank you for this video ❤ I am so sorry that you have to deal with all these health issues. Thank you for your honesty. You are incredible at telling it as it is, with humour even, but without bitterness or self-pity. I just think you are really really cool!
My doctor is trying to convince me to go on Ozempic. It's been 40 years of eating disorders, dieting and recovery. Know why I want to lose weight? I've looked deeply into this since I stopped obsessing over my body. It's not because I think fat people are less attractive, it's not because I hate my body. I dealt with any fatphobia in my head a loooooong time ago. It's not even for health reasons - my numbers (save for BMI) are perfect. I live a healthy and active life. It's only and entirely because when you're fat, a majority of people treat you like absolute, literal, worthless dogsh*t. There's no escape. It's all the time.
I'll take your experience into consideration, because most reviews just seemed too... positive. I'll admit I don't have digestive issues and might not be as likely to have trouble, but it's worth paying attention to how I feel if I do try it out. Much later. After the shortage is dealt with.
It's surprising to me how little compassion people have for overweight people. They'll say, "just stop eating so much!" As though it's always that simple. It makes me wanna say, "oh, is that what YOU did to get so fit?" Because I can tell from that lack of empathy that they've never been obese before.
Fatphobic is such a joke. Absolutely NO ONE enjoys being fat.
@@totesmcgoats435 or people in general. I know people might roll their eyes at me saying this, but I'm thin (skinny) and have had someone roll their car window down and throw fast food garbage at me yelling to "eat a burger!!" People suck!!!
@@totesmcgoats435 Even other fat people treat you like shit.
@@heatheraggus7501 going from skinny girl being told to eat more to a fat girl being told to eat less... Both fucking suck....
My aunt took this and had pretty much the same symptoms. Her doctor was thrilled that she "lost" 25 pounds, but then she responded with, "I can't eat anything because I'm afraid to sh*t myself!" She no longer taking it.
😮😮omg 😢
So many doctors literally only care about the scale over actual health and well-being ☹️
😢 that's not a quality of life
@@JamieLBW this. It’s terrible
@@JamieLBW Recently got health insurance again after years without. I've been to 8 different doctors in the last 3 months and none of them have mentioned my weight, not even my PCP. I'm the one that does in order to control the conversation, and I just say "I'm not interested in talking about my weight". When I was younger, it was forcibly talked about every visit. More and more modern doctors do not hound as much. They just want to make sure the weight isn't new.
And to be fair.. if you have a doctor that makes you feel bad, say something. I straight up say "I have a lot of anxiety about going to doctors because I have been unfairly judged in the past." You are their customer essentially. Idk why people continue to put up with being treated like a second class citizen by doctors. As someone who has worked with doctors and grew up meeting lots of doctors as a patient, YOU have all the power. If you don't like the way you are being treated, tell them that and report them to patient advocacy. Review their ass on Google and any other site that their name pops up. Also remember that doctors need to be reminded that we are humans first and patients second.
So glad you posted this. I have a friend who is on Wegovy and she won’t admit it but it’s slowly killing her. Her anxiety is completely out of control and the muscle wasting is shocking. She looks like a frail 80 yr old but thinks she looks good. She already has joint problems and those are all way worse because she is so weak and inflamed. Her guts like yours had issues to start with and are now worse. On top of all that her whacked out anxiety, paranoia and depression are going to ruin her marriage. She’s already been using it well over 2 years and has no plans of getting off. I don’t know what it’s going to take for her to come to her senses.
Thank you for having the courage to speak out on this!!
We need people like you
Explaining what could really happen.
I sent this to my spouse, who I know is reluctant to talk
About this stuff
THANK YOU!
Now I know what those awful stomach pains still are… been off Ozempic 4 weeks now. But, the migraine headaches are gone, as well as the no energy, 2 naps a day, and am sleeping so much better. I put up with so much, and rationalized all my symptoms away. Gee, no more vomiting and diarrhea! Imagine that, I now have a life!
Yes, it does that, it seems to me you can do one thing...or the other, either eat....or take ozempic.
Jamie I literally am so glad you uploaded this!!! No one believes me when I say I felt like literal shit taking this medicine (and mounjaro)!! And I didn’t lose a POUND. I couldn’t even get out of bed to go to the gym. Another weird symptom I had was joint pain! No where listed in the side affects!! But anyway I am so thankful you uploaded this.
Isn’t it funny when a weight loss strategy doesn’t work it’s because we are “lying” or “doing it wrong?” Why isn’t the strategy ever to blame? Maybe it’s not healthy or truly doesn’t work for everyone because bodies are complicated 🤷🏻♀️
The same symptoms happened to me. No thank you. 😵💫
@@rachelmiller4949
Because "wamyn be crazy!!!".
I like your profile picture.
Exactly the same here. I talked to three different doctors over 3 years now about my involuntary weight gain and all of them were absolutely sure I needed ozempic/Saxenda. I tried it twice within half a year and stopped both times after one pen, because I felt as if my intestines were imploding, I didn’t lose any weight, I felt sick and literally masochistic, even with the whole needle-thing. It’s painful and it made me feel as if I am more sick than I actually am. Anyway, my point is that the third doctor that suggested it to me was „really surprised“ that I had such a bad experience. And I honestly feel as if the docs receive wrong information on ozempic and it’s actual side-effects. O, I forgot to mention, I had heart-palpitations as well… that was seriously scary.
Of course you didn’t lose any weight; you stopped after one week. I’m down 60 pounds. Dude effects were terrible at first but now are not bad a year in. It’s changed by life.
I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that. I can only imagine the disappointment but I'm glad you are feeling better.
I’m sorry you struggled. That really sucks. I’m not sure why this video was recommended to me but I did watch and it was interesting to hear. My husband is a diabetic and keeping his blood sugar balanced is stressful and sadly he’s had to deal with some medication side effects along the way that are scary. Insulin amounts have to be based on what he’s eaten, if he’s had diarrhea, if he has exercised, if he’s got a cold, and so on. I say that only to say that I really empathize with wanting a medication to work and dealing with interactions so much that you will grasp any straw. I hope you feel better soon and find something that quiets your too busy mind. Best of luck.
Holy hell honey you are sooooo strong, dealing with all you’ve been through. I’m 47 years old and I spent almost my entire adult life trying to control my weight. So many long years in pain, disappointment, and restriction. I finally just had to eat things that didn’t hurt, didn’t matter what it was, with no regard for calorie count. Life is short. You’re awesome and deserve a life as free of pain as possible. Hugs.
Youre so pretty❤
I must concur with the comment before mine. You are, indeed, so beautiful! 🤍
Sorry, I had to peek at your pic upon reading the comments. You are very pretty, and look much younger than 40's. I'm sorry you've had to deal with yo-yo weight...I deal with it too. It sucks. Hugs & Love ❤❤❤
I mean it’s not new. Diabetics have been using it since 2012. It’s only newly been exploited for weight loss in the last couple years making it more difficult for diabetics to obtain it and making it more expensive.
@@ItsLys0620 They weren't able to keep up with the pen production.
I'm 65 and diabetic. Thank you for being open and honest and sharing this valuable information.Very sorry to hear about all the health issues you have had to go through. Don't let anyone pressure you into anything. Just do what's right for you. Only recently discovered your channel. Your videos have been a real bright spot for me. Laughter is very important.
thank you Frank 🥰
So relatable and validating, thank you for sharing. So many times it's taken me months or years to pick up that what I'm struggling with is actually a symptom of a medication I'm on. I've also had to make a lot of difficult choices to prioritise my mental health over weight loss.
Thanks Jaime for your personal insights regarding your experiences with this drug. I appreciate your clear explanations of what happened and the timeline of all of it. That you are able to sort it all out and present it this way is really helpful. You have a wonderful sense of humor and a wonderful expressive delivery. I'm really glad to have stumbled onto your channel. Thank you!
When you mentioned "quieting the voice" I felt like you were the only person I have ever heard that understands that voice like someone telling you to "eat it" over and over until you finally give in and then I feel like crap after I do. It's so hard and most people don't understand that at all when I say it's like someone in my head telling me to do it, crazy as that sounds. It would be amazing to shut that voice up for good. Thank you for understanding that and letting me realize there are others who feel the same way. It helps more than you could ever know.
When I have alcohol cravings, I get that same voice. I definitely believe you.
I have the same thing. It’s a part of Binge Eating Disorder. It sucks. For me, I am at the point where just not gaining weight each week is progress.
But, I really need to lose weight to be healthier. I need to not only be there for my small kids, but I need to interact and get in the floor and play with them, too. Which is hard right now.
Once I hit 200 I REALLY felt it. Energy decreased (even more than it already was) walking harder, and even just the way my arms rested away from my body. I also have a bad back and heart disease and I know this is just further straining it.
It’s hard, but it is important to do everything we can to be better and be healthier. Stay strong! ❤
The New York Times recently had a big article about how Ozempic and its similar drugs quiet the food mental chatter. Apparently that's not only common but embraced by Ozempic users.
I tried the hormone suppressing drug Lupron as a last step before getting a hysterectomy because of gnarly endometriosis. That was the first time since I was a kid that I didn't hear that little voice saying "eat it!". Being on Lupron was so scary because of the hideous side effects and how it takes over your whole body, but it was neat seeing how other people live. Nothing bothered me or made me worry, I had a neutral measured response to everything, my energy levels were constant, and I only ate for practical reasons. I was like "ooohhh now I understand how my husband and dad and brothers move through life..."
We are not weak or strong, we are what our hormones tell us to be!
@@dellfeld4everthat voice is hard… and then having other health issues which I have that make life seem sometimes impossible. Thank goodness for therapy, and a loving partner.
I can't thank you enough for posting this! I also have PCOS and losing weight has always been almost impossible. I have been trying to get semiglutide but Tricare doesn't cover it for insulin resistance at this point. I think this is a sign to just keep on improving my fitness level and working on my relationship with food, and accept where my body size ends up.
you should follow the " glucose goddess" her advice has helped me a lot w insulin resistance has someone who also has pcos :(
My ob/gyn recommended I go to a compound pharmacy so I only pay about $160 every 3 months for my injections. I have PCOS and weight loss is literally impossible because I'm insulin resistant. I'm down 25 pounds in 3 months and it's the first time I've felt like myself. I do get some side effects like headache and nausea.
I was just finally approved to get this medication thru insurance. I am a diabetic, and the insurance company wanted me to try jardiance first. So I've been on that for 6 months and it's not super helpful, but now I can get ozempic. Good luck. 😊
@@oisforolivia7971 do you mind sharing what compounding pharmacy you use? I get semaglutide for a similar price but they have so many new customers that can't keep up and it's delaying my prescription by 4 weeks.
Improving fitness and relationship with food will get you there.

I’m happy to meet you. I’ve been considering taking this medication, I would like to o loose 30 pounds that I put on when Covid came in March 2020, you telling your story has jammed in the braked for me. I have low thyroid, heart issues, have had issues with dizziness since I was a child. Thank you for sharing this wild adventure you had. I’ll stay away from this medication, I thank you for this. ❤
Thank you for sharing the raw details! Seriously people need to hear this!!
So sorry it didn’t work for you. Hope you’re feeling better & on a safer more effective track ❤
My Mom literally had to go to the emergency room. She was short of breath. They found that her kidney function was 10-15%.
This morning the doctors said it was caused by the ozempic
Really her kidneys are failing from ozempic? I’m so sorry. I have been short of breath then almost pass out or do pass out when I stand up. It is completely nuts
I doy know if it matters or not but from my close ones I have 3 people that developed kidney problems after COVID and or vaccines.
@@elenabob4953are they taking ozempic too?
Yeah, Dr. Attia's video said the inhibitors in the drug could also affect kidney function because those receptors are also located in the kidney. Basically this is a study that everyone has become a lab rat to see long-term results. Hope your mom is going to get better, how awful for her.
This happened to my 35 year old cousin about 3 months ago. Used it for 4 weeks. She was in kidney failure and ended up in ICU. Her doctor had never heard such a thing caused by Ozempic. It was a freak incident but it does happen on the rare occasion. Now she’s on another injection and does well.
The issue that isn’t being discussed: your digestion is directly related to your mental health, hormones , and so many other things: on one hand we have “gut health” as a huge trend and on the other hand we have a drug that makes people constipated as the miracle drug.
The gut/mind connection is REAL. I'm on the other side of the spectrum, so to speak. My BMI is just below healthy at 17.7. I've had severe anxiety and panic disorders since childhood, but they've worsened as I've gotten older. I'm on meds and therapy to manage my symptoms, and well! But the only problem left is my inability to eat. So many people make assumptions about why I'm as slender as I am, and they *really* hurt. I worry if I'll ever be able to enjoy food again. This eating thing started almost right when lockdown happened. I try so hard to eat the food and consume the calories I need, but it's damn-near impossible when your guts are doubled-over with anxiety. Being a human with a body is hard.
I thought constipated was exactly the opposite of what this drug does?
@Dunika No. Although, Ozempic can do either. It slows down digestion and lowers blood sugar. The unintended consequence being, it helps you lose weight. Weight loss is the side effect. Some people should not take it. Ever.
@@starryeyedtarot8876 hey I just wanted to say that you’re not alone!! I also feel unable to eat when stressed and the pandemic caused me to become underweight. Thankfully I’m a healthy weight again at the moment but it’s still hard to make sure I stay here. And I’m a lot weaker than I was before because I haven’t gained a lot of the muscle I lost back yet. I understand what you mean about how it’s hurtful that people will accuse us of not eating on purpose or having disorders we don’t have :/ I think people need to understand that disordered eating is not always one of the named eating disorders. Sometimes disordered eating has a cause that has nothing to do with body dysmorphia or wanting to lose weight.
I TOTALLY agree!
Thank you for sharing this video. I am currently taking this medication but I was concerned about different people’s experiences. So far it’s been a good experience for me but I appreciate you sharing yours! Thank you.
I’m really glad you did this video. I had the same problems you did. The gallbladder, diarrhea, constipation, anxiety, etc. I lost a little weight at the beginning, but then stopped losing. So, after many years of dieting, I continue to count calories! God bless you!
Do IF and chromium P! This crazyness is so unnecessary when there are natural ways to do this in an easy and healthy way!
I work in a Diabetes clinic, with people who have diabetes. Before this I worked for an Endocrinologist who worked with people with insulin resistance who did not have diabetes along with all the other disease states in the endocrine realm.
Ozempic is the same drug as Wegovy, Wegovy is just a higher dosage specifically for weight loss. Rybelsus is the exact same drug as Ozempic, just in an oral form.
Maunjaro is a slightly different molecule, with a slightly different acting mechanism but that produces similar results.
As with any medication there will be people who have side effects, some mild, some major.
There is no longer a supply shortage as Lilly opened a manufacturing plant here in the US specifically to produce Ozempic and the supply chain issues have also been sorted out.
Maunjaro is currently undergoing trials to get put on the market as a weight loss medication as well.
More and more the medical community is coming to see that being overweight is actually a disease state for many people that 'diet and exercise' just won't 'cure'.
Many people that are helped with these medications to get to a 'healthy' weight (and I am putting these in quotations because to a certain extent weight is a societal issue that we absolutely need to work on but until then these medications can help those who don't want to deal with the stares and the judging, anymore.) will need to stay on these medications in a maintenance mode just like people with diabetes often have to take some form of medication for life. The same for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic pain, arthritis, etc.
Again.
There will always be people these will not work for but we need to stop shaming people (and I am in no way intimating that you are) for choosing medication as a way to control and maintain weight because it absolutely is a disease state just as real as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, lupus, etc.
Also, it is important here to note that despite what her title says, she didn't take Ozempic. She was taking something from a compound pharmacy, and though the active ingredient is the same, those inactive ingredients do have an effect on the body and can also cause side effects. For her, though, I will say that she is probably one of the unfortunate people who just had a strong negative reaction to the medication. It can happen. In my clinic it's about 5% of our patients that we've tried it on who either can't take it at all or who are limited to the lowest dose.
Thank you, Jaime for sharing your story and bringing awareness to yet another tool people can use if it works for them in our fight for physical and mental health, as well as the risks that all medications and treatments can have.
Thank you for this wonderful comment! People spread so much misinformation and it's frustrating.
"...being overweight is actually a disease state for many people that 'diet and exercise' just won't 'cure'."
Very well said! I had RnY gastric bypass and had to take a few weeks of classes prior to surgery. I was really surprised at the science behind CHRONIC obesity/over weight and all its links to other illnesses. Once I had surgery began shedding weight, all sorts of medical issues were resolved.
When I reached a health set point weight, it became clear that my weight struggles were an outward expression of internal illnesses. After these illnesses were brought to light and properly treated, I've had no issue maintaining the most active, healthiest livestyle I've ever had.
Thank you for this comment! I've been taking Ozempic for months now, and I am diabetic. I have been on 1mg for a while to control sugars and got my A1C down to 5.8! My Dr has now increased me to 2mg to help with weight loss, and he said that is the dosage for the best results for losing weight. I haven't weighed yet, but I feel smaller already!
Apparently there’s still a shortage … I’m diabetic, and my doctor prescribed me this before my insurance was to be cancelled because I got laid off (this was at the beginning of April). They didn’t get any in until the beginning of May, so I couldn’t even get it. It’s really frustrating so many non-diabetics are using this instead of WeGovy, so us diabetics can’t even get it. 🤦♀️
Thank you Chrysallis for a very thoughtful response.
A lot of creators coming out about this drug. I just watched Celina Spooky Boo and she had horrible side effects. Honestly Im glad that people are giving their honest experiences.
Your experience with food sounds so much like what I deal with. Its a toxic relationship.
I watched hers too and I was wondering if that prompted Jamie to talk about it. But I guess a lot of people are talking about it now so maybe not
This is the comment I was looking for since I too watched Celina's video and it's sad knowing how this "drug" is really hurting people
This is the first time of ever seen/heard you and I enjoyed this video so much. The short video inserts were spot on, so kudos to whoever is in charge of that. I can see why you have such a large following. You’re hilarious and charming.
I’m so sad for you, but your attitude is so upbeat!! I had a Dr. a few years ago who is retired now but she said she would NEVER give a patient a drug, any drug that had been on the market for 7 years preferably 10 years and had been tested a lot! My friend is taking this drug 24:16 ozempic injections but has not worked as she thought it would. I’m worried that it will make things worse in her health issues . I hope someone gets your health issues straightened out, so sorry you’re going thru this. It is my first time seeing your show . Ps you are a very pretty young woman! And you have a great personality!! Gave me a few laughs thru all your trouble!
My mom was on Mounjaro and lost so much weight but had to get emergency gallbladder removal surgery while on it, despite never having gallbladder issues before. Doctors told her it’s unrelated, but I think it is.
Any rapid weight loss will cause gallbladder issues
I’ve heard others mention gallbladder issues related to ozempic!
I lost weight very fast by dieting and indeed it caused gallbladder issues - tons of stones. Edit: Forgot to mention, this was according to the surgeon.
My mom’s doctor put her right back on it after her gallbladder removal which I think is insane
I am on mounjaro but i had my gallbladder removed years ago so I could not tell you whether that is true or not.
I work in pharmacy, and I'm genuinely concerned that no one knew about the digestive/gastrointestinal/gallbladder/shitting side effects. After feedback from our first few patients about it, and a staff member being on a different semaglutide product, it's the first thing that our pharmacists warn people about when they start the therapy. Doctors need to know better about what they prescribe. If they are going to keep refusing to listen to pharmacists, then they need to become more well-versed themselves
Edit: I do want to clarify, for most (from what I've seen) those side effects do go away over time. But any medication like this is bound to have at least one negative side effect, but with everything our sweet gal has dealt with in her health, I am unfortunately not surprised that it was not a good fit :(
As a nurse I have seen most SE's being egg burps,n/v and just symptoms related to the delayed gastric emptying.
that is odd because if anything, i would be constipated cause no interest in eating enough...
i trust my pharmacist before i trust my doctor, and a surgeon told me to always check w my pharmacist on any rx. far too many updates & changes for md's to remember.
@@mjkay8660 I agree with you ! I trust my pharmacist any day before my Doc. Pharmacists know much more about drugs than the Doctors.
Had the same issues w/ diarrhea vomitibg and nausea and never went away nomater how long i took it
Thank you for sharing, beautiful lady 🙏 I'm happy you're feeling better ❤
Shortages have always increased the demand! Very cleaver and working well with the sheeple.
As someone who works in this kind of industry, If you ever have side effects from taking medication to contact the company directly on their customer service/compliance line. Most of these companies have email, phone number or contact that collects reports of side effects and such. This can help with bringing awareness to better inform patients of side effects not observed in clinical trials, which inturn help better inform doctors about all the potential side effects within their own patients and also in instances where medicine batches can be contaminated and need to be recalled. Thank you for sharing your story Jaime and if you have not yet or your doctors have not yet, please reach out to the drug manufacture and inform them of your experiance taking the drug; it can help a lot of people down the line.
Oh good to know!
She was taking a compounded version of semaglutide so this would not apply to her. But I agree, anytime there is a reaction to a prescription medication it should be reported to VAERS.
I've been hearing about this alot and I'm happy people are speaking out about it. This drug is only meant for certain people.
I appreciate the honesty from your experience! I have a lot of the identical health issues that you have and I also gain and can’t loose , period ! Had thought about ozempic but now I see that it isn’t for me !!! Glad you are feeling better !!!
I absolutely adore how honest you are about who you are. It's refreshing. I do this ALL OF THE TIME. The hindsight comment is so real. I say it so often its wild.
Thank you for your honest account. As someone who's thyroid hates them, I completely understand when a calorie deficit won't work. It's frustrating when people say it's "simple" to lose weight.
You need a good doctor and blood work every 60 days to control your thyroid. That’s what I do
Yeah I agree I'm eating 600 cals a day and doing 5 hour walk daily and cannot lose weight my thyroid is supposed to be normal.
@@mycinnamongirl that's not even true... if anything she's not eating enough and her body is probably in starvation mode
My side effects were not as extensive as yours, but I've definitely had the awful cramping, up all night running to the bathroom, waking up super achy, feeling run down, and experiencing anxiety issues that I've never had before. I've been on it for 10 weeks and have barely lost 8 pounds. I haven't had any noticeable decrease of appetite. I have a visit with my doctor tomorrow, and I think I may go off it. Thank you for your candor and for sharing your story. I appreciate you so much, Jaime.
If you’re on it for diabetes (or pre-diabetes) and you haven’t experienced much weight loss, you’d probably be better off on Metformin.
I’m on both. The first 2 weeks of Ozempic were… much like Jaime’s. Let’s just say, I was glad I don’t share a bed with my husband. But it has turned around and now I’m constipated & need laxatives several days a week. However, I have lost 40lbs so I’m sticking with it. I certainly wouldn’t if I didn’t get the positive results!
May I ask what dosage you are on? I'm diabetic so I worked up to 1mg to control my sugar and it worked! I've been on Metformin for years and w with this drug added in I got my A1C down to 5.8. Now my Dr had increased me to 2mg to help with weight because I have plateaued.
Honestly what I use, not to cause another craze like the Ozempic, is Wellbutrin. It gives me a little more “want” to lose weight. Still have to do the hard work, but it gave me depression appetite control and a little motivation. It took about 3 months to start working.
You should look up "antidrug antibodies". It sounds like you are having the same response I had to Mounjaro.
Jaime I’m so glad to see you! I’ve missed you so much since your beauty products days! ❤
You’re hilarious and genuine and just want you to know it’s appreciated ! ❤
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. Mounjaro has literally saved my life but after 6 months, I stopped losing weight and I had to get out of the rabbit hole because I was comparing myself to others and felt so sad that I didn’t reach my ultimate weight loss goal. However, I’m no longer diabetic and I’m down 50 lbs and the quiet mind is huge for me. Good luck on your journey - whatever your goal!
Same. Mounjaro has been amazing for me.
Mounjaro is amazing! It really works. But Ozempic did nothing for me. The only problem with mounjaro is that it’s soooo expensive 😢
Semiglutide didn't work for me either. Horror side effects. The Tirzepitide is working great.
Ummm there is no cure for diabetes. Once u got it, you got it.
I just switched to maunjaro this week from semeglutide… definitely less nausea and headache… my sugars are much better and down 25 pounds. I’m glad Jamie shared as it’s definitely not for everyone but can help people. Glad to hear about maunjaro from you all!
Fellow PCOS sufferer here. I have also been on the struggle bus for years with my weight. It took seeing 3 different doctors to finally get one to run my blood tests just to get the pcos diagnosis (which I was pretty sure I had after watching an episode of Criminal Minds, of all things!)
Documenting my food (not just in writing, but in pictures) is what finally got doctors to listen to me about caloric deficit not working.
I'm getting older, and while I'm happy with who i am and what i look like, my knees are wearing out.
My current doctor perscribed ozempic, but the insuance denied it. Now they are locked in a battle to the death over wether or not i need it.
I appreciate you posting this. I'm hoping it all works out, but if i do take it, and things go poorly, I'm probably less likely to gaslight myself in the future. ❤
Good for you
I need to lose about 70 pounds. I am working with a doctor and I tracked food intake recently for a few weeks. I just naturally take in about 900-1200 calories a day (I was not trying to be in a calorie deficit- just what I naturally eat) I work out heavily 2x a week and walk a ton the other days.
So my doctor looked at me and said that I need to eat less calories than I currently am. I was not expecting that - I was expecting him to realize that overeating is not the issue)
Ugh I just want to give you a hug ❤ I'm so sorry you went through all that
You are so entertaining….thanks for you kooky honesty! 😊
A couple of years ago, my former gynecologist tried to put me on Wegovy for weight loss. I came to her with some issues I was concerned about. She told me it was all because I had gained weight. Me being a nurse and professor, I knew the weight gain was only a symptom of an underlying illness. I refused to take it and have since found out that I was right.
I needed this message. I've been working with a nutritionist for close to a year now and started Ozempic 8 months ago? I feel so seen by your experience... I've been justifying staying on a semaglutide because of the desperate want that it would be the 'miracle' for me that it is for so many others. While I love the appetite repression (not thinking about food is amazing) I have so many negative side effects including the stomach ones. I have been avoiding activities in case there's an 'urgency' to get to a toilet. My emotions have been unpredictable. I've honestly never felt worse if I am actually being honest with myself and I've lost nothing but my personal peace and comfort. It's a really hard pill to swallow and it's made me... angry with myself because there are so many success stories and I was the one failing. The amount of shame I've dumped on myself has pushed me backwards on my mental health journey. I've not been transparent with my nutritionist or therapist because I kept justifying reasons to not tell them and your video today.... it just cut through my bullsh*t.
I could say so much more because you spoke so many of my own truths - but I will leave it with just, Thank you, Jaime. The transparency of what you were willing to share has at minimum helped me and I am grateful. I know there is a solution for us and I know that it won't take breaking our bodies physically and mentally and emotionally to get there. Thank you for checking my reality and bringing me back to center.
Tiffany, I'm so sad you experienced this.
You are stunning and I hope you find something that helps you see that as well--whether it be wt loss or a change of heart or whatever the eff
Thank you so much for sharing your story
Great expression of your thoughts and feelings, thanx for sharing them..
Thankyou so much for sharing. 🧡
U could research high fat carnivore. so many heal and lose weight rapidly in that community.. much love to you
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing and your sense of humor is great!!
Thank you for sharing this important info. The video and comments are illuminating. Appreciate all the personal experiences.
Jaime, I kno u r a low thyroid girlie. I want to let you know you’re not alone. I recently gained 30lbs on the scale in three weeks with no diet change. Thyroid weight is so weird and it feels like someone else’s body most of the time. It’s kinda traumatic having this swollen tissue that’s not really fat but it’s not really water either just engulfing you in rapid gains then basically refusing to leave.
Don’t lose hope. I never will!
I relate so much! ☹️
Love your positivity ❤
You might want to look into sites like stop the thyroid madness. Issues like this are often due to improper medications and dosages, and the insane amount of poor endocrinologists around. There are options to get better, but you have to do a lot of research to get there.
I relate too! I do have Hashimoto's and endometriosis but also insulin resistance. When I got my gallbladder removed the weight shot up exponentially. It sucks.
Damn that’s exactly what I feel, thank you for putting into words that I haven’t been able to
I’m so glad I watched this video. I started taking Semaglutide about a month ago and I am absolutely miserable. I feel like I’m dying of dysentery.
Get off that Oregon Trail
You need to discuss with your doctor. Diarrhea more than a few days is dangerous.
Eat differently! Bratt diet!

I've taken the "O" RX for my Diabetes for iver 2 years. Maintaining my weight-loss, A1C is 6.1, passed EKG, off all other RX meds! This girl is going for drama! And, selling something I'm passing on!
Find a real health UA-cam entertainer! 😅
@@Dontstop822 If your life is to the point of worrying about sh*tting yourself on the daily, just stop injecting this crap. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, and get a real physician to help you control your insulin.
My husband had the same experience. I appreciate someone being honest. A friend of ours went off of it and almost died. So, you can call her a drama queen but she speaks truth. Not sure about you.
Thank you for being so honest about your experience and with your experience with anxiety and depression. It's really refreshing to see someone being truthful and straightforward. I hope your journey to health goes better!
Fully appreciate you for making this vid
Hey!! I’m on Ozempic… for diabetes, with very minimal issues… and I’m thankful! I’ve seen the gradual weight loss since going up to 2 mg. Sadly, I am one of those who had a big gap in taking my meds because of the increased use of the drug for weight loss… that seems to have resolved, thankfully!
I have always had issues losing weight. Only two things have worked for me: intermittent fasting (I currently do this) and seeing a nutritionist who gave me instructions to eat 6 mini meals daily… drink my water… and gave me fat and calorie boundaries… She told me to eat my first mini meal no later than 30 minutes after getting up with at least 8 oz of water….and to eat no sooner than two and a half, but no longer than three hours apart. Nothing after 7pm.
I lost 15 pounds the first month. She told me my metabolism was lazy (😂🤣) and I had to eat to get it going again. It worked… but it took a ton of meal prep… I ate a lot of fresh veggies, nuts and proteins. No caloric drinks between meals.
Love your channel!! You will find what works for you! 🎉
How quickly did they bring you up to 2mg? Did you not lose any weight on 1mg?
You don't come across "anti-Ozempib" You come across highly intelligent and with a great ability to describe an adverse set of reactions. I"m always nervous of pharmaceuticals.There are ALWAYS side effects.I hope you can regain health and whatever weight you desire using the healthiest methods for you.
This ozempic epidemic is scary. Thank you for sharing your story and I’m sorry to hear it was a bad experience. Good luck on your health journey! ❤
Your hilarious! 😂You should be a stand up comic. You have the timing and the talent and the health topic is great for comic material.
I'm not on this one but I'm on wegovy. I was diagnosed with pre diabetes meaning if I didn't get my blood sugar and weight and control I would get type 2. Since starting Ive had no symptoms and im down 60 lbs. Only about 50-60 more before im no longer considered obese. And my sugars have been fantastic . I'm not saying it's for everyone because I do know some people on my reddit that had awful experiences but for me personally I love it and it is saving my life
Wegovy is semaglutide, just like ozempic. Those are just brand names for the same medication.
same for me 10 months in and still just on 1 mg not 2 and amazing side effect NO interest in alcohol and shopping --- I had no intention of not drinking wine 4-5 times a week, but now very occasional and to be social with others a dinner
@@chelelee6321 All medications that are in the same family can have different effects. It's usually because they have different fillers due to drug patent laws. Jamie was on a compound pharmacy version that includes B12 as the filler to avoid a patent lawsuit. I know this would not work for those like myself who cannot tolerate side effects of cyanocobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is a manufactured man-made version of vitamin B12. I know of one female who tried the same compound as Jamie that reported she could not tolerate the injections only after 3 months. Her physician took her off the medication for 3 months. She has since been taking Wegovy injections at home under constant monitoring by her physician for 5 months with no side-effects. Not to say this would work for everyone but her story and weight loss is amazing.
@TS Now where did she say she's on wegovy?
@@HannahRose19960 her friend is on wegovy
Omg! I had the first dose of mounjoro and was in the ER three times in one week. I was screaming in pain, dehydrated. It was a nightmare and I don’t even have a gallbladder. Thank you for doing this. 🥰
Omg that's terrifying
My daughter lost 40 pounds in 3 months on Mounjaro and has had 3 seizures. She can’t drive, must take seizure meds and is miserable. I am fairly certain the seizures are from Mounjaro because nothing else has changed in her medications in the last 6 months.
I’m an ER nurse, we are seeing an increase in patients with pancreatitis in patients taking all forms of semiglutide. Aside from pancreatitis we’re seeing patients with extremely low blood sugar who have to be hospitalized for days until their sugars level out.
@@jentroytravel312I was wondering if people were having problems with low glucose. I became diabetic 11 months ago. I’m on insulin but not the weight loss insulin. I’m on the gain 2 lbs a month insulin. Thankfully, I was a bit underweight when I started. (Seeing A1C at 5.3 in comments seems really low.) I see my doctor every 3 months & have glucose & A1C checked. My diabetes is well controlled. I have a CGM which I love. I find the lows to be terrifying. The sudden shaking, sweating & weakness & I know I’m low. I’ve never passed out, but my monitor was going off over & over & louder & louder as I continued to sleep. I finally came to & drank some OJ. My glucose was 40. I was born with pancreas divisim & have had problems with my pancreas, so I would never take a chance. Pancreatitis is a very dangerous side effect. The funny thing is people don’t believe it could happen to them, so it’s not a big deal to them.
Thank you for your transparency and honesty. I don't blame you at all for missing the "quietness" around thinking about food. It's something I deeply want as well. And I'm so sorry about the gallbladder pain. When you mentioned it, I immediately had flashbacks to when I was having my gallbladder attacks and when I say I would rather give birth then deal with gallbladder pain, I mean it.
You are such a beautiful person and strong and brave THANK YOU for sharing your story !
I started intimittent fasting, eating during an 8 hr window, 10am to 6pm, that's the only thing I changed. I'm experiencing great weight loss, it has stabilised my blood sugar and made me want to make better food choices. It's changed my life, I'll never go back. I hope you feel better asap Jaime.
YES. The mental quiet around food and eating that Jaime described as the one positive of Ozempic is exactly what I experienced once I started intermittent fasting. It completely re-calibrated my body's hunger and satiety signals. Totally life changing. Highly recommend "The Obesity Code" by Jason Fung or "Fast Feast Repeat" by Gin Stephens if anyone is interested in the science behind intermittent fasting
I really liked it but my dietician said it’s not good if you struggle with your mental health as starvation affects you mentally and can greatly contribute to a breakdown. Gutted…
I am on it and do intermittent fasting as well. I am so grateful I have no side effects at all. I have no hunger and can follow my healthy eating and intermittent fasting schedule easily now. The weight loss has been so nice. I can’t see myself wanting to get off of the med. I’m excited to see if it decreases my A1 c.
@@selty Have you tried it? It’s not like you would get into starvation mode, just because you stop eating at 6/7/8 pm…🙄
@@soude85I do this and still can’t lose nothing…
I’m 71. My local pharmacy is compounding a generic version in a nasal spray. I’ve been on it for 2 months and have lost 23 pounds. I’m mobility limited, so I can’t work out, but I’ve still lost. No side effects so far. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. Thanks for posting this video.
What’s the name of the nasal spray?
It’s the appetite that is the issue. If you are hungry you want to eat. This medication is made to address that as well as balance sugars. As well as feeling exhausted…and wanting to eat…not able to exercise. It’s a tool, just like any other medication.
@@Nonybusinessxxxxxx rude.
@@Nonybusinessxxxxxx it's reaaaaally difficult to lose weight if you can't move a lot, I didn't lose a single gram (swedish) whilst trying that this winter, forcing my body on walks helps but hurts so much and for weeks afterwards and makes me fall asleep (from exhaustion, shortly after a walk) but I eat in a calorie deficit and super healthy and still I am almost stuck at this weight 10-15 kilos above my normal weight that I had for years. I even weighed 20 kilos lower than now when I ate as healthy as I do now but also moved a lot and only gained weight during winter when it's too cold to move a lot here. Sorry for the super long personal story but I just wanted to add a different perspective. I've never been a big fan of medicine but I have to take stomach medicine to even 💩, which hurts and which should be made easier with my diet but there's a lot of ways your body can stop functioning properly and make it much, much more difficult to lose weight despite one's best efforts!
@@Nonybusinessxxxxxx would you shut tup my god
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. I thought I was the only person in the world experiencing these exact issues. I had my first 0.25 dose a weeks ago and everything seemed fine at first. Then on day 3, the wheels came off… ZERO WARNING…no control over my bowels. Dry heaving followed, along with the taste of metal in my mouth, horrible pain, horrible breath, liquid d*** and praying for death. Finally, 9 days later I’m taking a risk and hoping I can get to the ER fast enough to avoid sacrificing my car’s leather interior. Wish me luck!
Can you please update us on how you are doing? Hope you are okay?🙏🏾
Doing IF is so much more healthy for you than this shady §hit. Sorry this happened to you, but quick fixes that seems too good to be true, usually are. And they are often the opposite of what is advertized....
Also chromium Picolinate. Look into it.
...and Berberine.
You are SO amazing. I adore you. You’re my inspiration to make my life better- the way you get everything done while dealing with your health issues is so inspiring. And you’re hilarious and gorgeous, too! Only the other day I was telling my Mama about you- she loved your channel! Mega fan right here. Good form! ❤️❤️
i take ozempic and i really appreciate my doctors approach to it. normally you increase the dose after 4 weeks but she instead decided to only increase when side effects became tolerable. this took me 3-4 months between each dose increase. at the time i was frustrated because I wanted to increase my dose right away, but looking back i’m glad she did it this way. she also made me regularly visit an endocrinologist to discuss my symptoms and figure out how best to minimize them. i found that modifying my diet became crucial. basically no high fat, nothing spicy or overly acidic. making sure to get enough fiber and protein. only eating when i’m hungry and not forcing myself to eat. if i wasn’t hungry i would drink protein shakes to make sure i was still fueling my body. eating what i was most excited to eat off my plate first to satisfy the emotional part of my hunger. i can’t say i’m 100% without side effects now after being on ozempic for a year, but i’ve learned how to minimize them with diet modifications. it’s been very hard and i can totally see why people struggle with it. the side effects can be intense. it’s not for everyone and i wish celebrities who use it off label would at least admit to it and be honest about their experience so that people don’t get their hopes up about this “miracle” drug and then suffer the consequences of the intense side effects. i can’t blame anybody for not liking their experience on it. it’s a very personal choice to make and i hate seeing it romanticized as some miracle drug when in reality it comes with serious risks. i’m happy to say i’ve lost 70 pounds while on ozempic and i don’t plan on stopping my usage of it. my hope is that more doctors and patients are transparent about the reality of the drug and it’s side effects. i really appreciate seeing videos like these because it validates my experience. ozempic is just not for everyone and that’s okay!
What was ur weight before that 70lbs?
Not sure why you want a celebrity to say anything. How does them saying nothing effect you in any way ? That’s just silly
@@MearnieToon celebrities have influence over society’s body norms. when people see celebrities dropping weight so suddenly and getting the “ozempic face”, they want to know how they can achieve that in order to look more like them. deciding to use ozempic off label because you want to lose weight can be dangerous for people. there are very serious side effects involved. knowing that celebrities have used it may make people think they should just suffer through the side effects which can be dangerous to their overall mental and physical health. if celebrities were honest about using ozempic and more open about their experience with it, people could start to gain awareness that this isn’t some miracle drug to be used non-chalantly. it needs to be seriously discussed with your primacy care doctor and you need to be committed to regular check ins with your doctor to monitor your health. this isn’t like taking an aspirin for a headache, it’s a very strong and very new drug that can cause drastic systemic changes to the body.
@@MearnieToon this!
some people just care too much
I've lost 165 pounds. All the side effects are manageable .
I wouldn't change my new life for anything . I went from a size 22 to a 10.😊
I used mounjaro for about 3 months and would swear to you that I almost died twice. O. M. G. I was constantly nauseated (which should’ve been my first sign but I’m pretty much ALWAYS nauseated anyway) and I never was hungry. The pain and nausea and inability to get any relief whatsoever was terrifying. Just shittin and puking all over the place. Each incident lasted EXACTLY 12 hrs and made me pray for death or relief! I lost like 15 lbs and have kept it off but that shit is for the birds!!!
Do carnivore
I was given MJ also. My first week I was so sick I could t leave my house. I had diarrhea about 100 times. Stomach cramps were the worst I’ve had in my life. Plus I could have still eaten a pizza. 😂. The cramps and diarrhea were the worst. I would never take it again.
I'm so glad you posted this. I've been a follower for a while, but I was just now recommended this - and I have a doctor's appointment this week to discuss weight loss medications. I've lost 55 pounds on my own, but I also have PCOS and I'm plateauing and can't get any farther, even exercising intensely and eating healthy every day. So it seems like a good thing...but I'm so nervous about it. I feel like all I hear is bad things. I have a history of suicidal ideation (a long time ago), and I saw another UA-camr talking about how much Ozempic put them in a suicidal/depressive episode. I really don't want to do weight loss medications, but I don't know what else to do.
I don’t know if this will help but I talked with my doctor about two months ago about struggling to lose weight. I’ve never had a problem losing weight before and couldn’t figure out what my problem is. I’m on Prednisone which does increase appetite. I will be 60 this year and have arthritis, moderate asthma, fibromyalgia, neuropathy and am immunocompromised. He put me on Phentermine. I take it once a day (It’s a pill.) and it helps with appetite. I do still get hungry but not like before taking it. I’ve lost 24 pounds in about two months, but I am also doing Weight Watchers and sticking to it religiously. I’m also trying to be more active when I’m feeling up to it. I hope this helps.
@@bellah8393 thank you!! One of my friends is on Phentermine as well, and she loves It. Her doctor told her she shouldn't be on it longer than 3 months since it's a controlled substance, but my doctor says I would need to be on it for the rest of my life if I start. What did your doctor tell you about going off of it?
I love your soothing voice. And i just found you. Im so THANKFUL !!!!!
You saved my life DOING THIS VIDEO.
AND from ME doing this drug. MY doctor knows that i have: gastroperisis, gallstones,
kidney stones, very high parathyroidism with a goitor, also i have
a hernia, and gastritis!!!!ℹ️
And the Mayo clinic was handing me out several prescriptions for Wagovy.
Today i found you and you saved me. Thank you so much for doing this video. I'll never forget you for this ❤🤗
I already know it won't work for me. The drug acts on Orexin neurons in the brain, which regulate appetite, sleep, and metabolism, and I have Narcolepsy, meaning my immune system killed of most of my Orexin neurons, so I'd be a non-responder. I can relate to the struggle of gaining no matter how little you eat. I'm in the same boat and am trying to shift my focus to increasing strength to feel better in my body no matter what size it is because muscle mass I can control. Weight I apparently cannot. May as well focus on the things I actually do have control over instead of spinning my wheels, right? I'm sorry ozempic didn't work for you, but you're not alone. I know PCOS is a struggle for sure. I'm a Neuroscientist and used to do Neuroendocrinology research in a lab that studied PCOS, so you have my empathy. Our PCOS mice would gain weight even though they were eating the same food as their wildtype siblings. They could end up twice as big as a regular mouse just by existing. They were my cutie pies tho! Apparently PCOS mutations affect fat cells, too. I know it sucks, but hang in there. It's not your fault. You're not doing anything wrong, your body just works differently than other people's. Mine does, too. Hopefully you can find some positive ways to honor your body despite the health setbacks. You deserve happiness and peace. ♥
Best comment here!!!
@@31michelle64 Thanks 🙂 I've been doing a lot of reading up on it. I hope this info helps someone!
I'm a little pcos total thyroidectomy gainer just by existing & I hate it.... I'm a depressed shell of the woman I used to be... your words to Jamie made me feel better tho. Thanks for being so kind to her, it made me feel better lol ❤
My NP at the gynecologist told me “just go KETO” 🙄 it’s crazy to me that a nurse practitioner at a gynecologist’s office thinks that women with PCOS just eat a lot when that’s never been an issue with me, it’s actually the opposite I have no appetite (because i have autoimmune issues and eating/digesting food is painful) yet I gain weight and getting pregnant didn’t help the situation
Pcos used to be so hard to come by. I am an avid learner of this stupid disease? and I have never heard of the mouse study until the last few months. Dr's should educate themselves better. IMO.
I've been focusing on my health, and as such have lost over 150 lbs so far just with diet and exercise. I'm steadily losing, and just have a little more to go. Even after so much work and success, my MD continues to insist I go on it. It's insanity! Thank you, as always, for being so wonderful and open. Given my own experience, it's really being pushed in an inappropriate and irresponsible way.
Most people i've spoken with have had the opposite experience where doctors won't give them the drug even if they're very obese
I'd find a new doctor or scratch the allopathic route and hire a Naturopathic doctor.
Every doctor I know will prescribe absolutely whatever will make them $$. They don't care what helps or hurts YOU; it's all about what boosts their income.
Holy shit, 150 Ibs???? Are you fucking kidding me that’s AMAZING! I really wish I had the motivation to lose THAT much weight. I remember before COVID I lost 40-60 pounds and then gained all of it back and more over the years after. I’ve never felt more insecure and my binge-eating doesn’t help. Hearing stories like yours just make me want to prove myself wrong and that I am capable of making changes.
Anyways your are amazing truly and that medical “professional” is literally crazy.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experience!!!! Im a registered nurse, and my company recently started advertising these weight loss drugs, flashing on all of our computer sceans (when idle) was advertising how "Now Trinity Health Offers Coverage for Ozempic, etc." Im a huge food lover, lol....but i was able to lose the weight I wanted to lose using the keto diet and intermittent fasting. It was HARD, but after i stuck to it for 2 weeks, it was like nothing!
Im so sorry you had a bad experience!! Soooooooo many people have been having this exact experience. I commend you for speaking on it❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing. I have completely stayed away from even THINKING about adding another medication to my regimen (finally down to 1 total, hallelujah) but I was genuinely curious about stories people had about this new weight loss craze.
Loved the video!
I’m a health care professional and have seen a big increase in clients on this med and I would say 90% of them go off of it after 6-8 weeks due to the GI side effects. It’s definitely not for everyone and very expensive, it helps people get their A1C down and with the hype from TikTok it made long term patients have a hard time getting it. Hopefully people bringing more awareness to the side effects can help settle down the demand.
I read that the shortage was not of the drug/active ingredients, but the injection pen. Hence the ability of a compounding pharmacy to provide same dosage more readily and at lower cost. The patient would then need to measure their own dosage into a syringe. (for whatever reason, people do not seem to be very good at dosing a syringe themselves). I hear her mentioning that she was going in to an office for her injection, so maybe a health care professional was measuring and administering the dose.
The “hype from Tik Tok” is almost always the compounded form which is not what diabetics are in short supply from, so this comment is basically false. You literally cannot get an Rx for name brand Ozempic unless you’re diabetic. So much misinformation
I'm very annoyed that it doesn't really seem to be helping my A1C or weight loss, just makes me sick
@@jenniferwells2291 that’s unfortunate for you. It sounds like the side effects are intolerable for many.
as a PCOS girlie, this is the first time I hear about possible side effects... I will do more research about it, but I'm so so grateful for this video
I was prescribed but haven’t took it
A ketogenic diet will reverse PCOS add Berberine
I’ve seen so many PCOS ladies lost a pile of weight with GLP-1s. I’m on Mounjaro, i don’t have the horrible side effects that Jaime experienced. It’s more being constipated in my case, but I’ve been constipated my whole life it’s just worse on Ozempic. Avoiding fatty food and eating small meals several times a day helped a LOT with the side effects. In my support group everyone takes Mag07 for the constipation.
Thank You for being so vulnerable and honest. My Dr has been encouraging me to get on Weigovy or Zepbound. I have been doing research about them since. There is NO WAY I will go on any of those drugs. I’ll just continue to be, the way I am.
Thank You, thank you and I wish you better health. You are beautiful.
Get rid of that doctor. He's nothing more than a drug pusher. I bet he makes some great kickbacks on all the drugs he pushes.
