    I’m on week nine of Wegovy and have lost about 10lbs. I have auto immune disease and chronic inflammation. The first effect i noticed was a reduction in the inflammation symptoms that i typically feel - fluid retention and bloating. I feel like my lymphatic system is also working more efficiently.

Cutting back to one diet drink per day and eating lots of fruit and vegetables. No fast food. Period. I am starting my second month on Ozempic and have lost 20 pounds. Feeling so much better.

    My doctor has prescribed semiglutide that I'm having to get from a compound pharmacy because my insurance doesn't cover Wegovy but even if it did my regular pharmacy told me it was on backorder anyway. I'm insulin resistant and no matter what I do the weight won't come off. I've exercised like crazy, cut out sweets & carbs but in a 4 month period I lost only 3 pounds. It's very frustrating. I'm praying that I have good luck with this medication. 🙏

      @@char90303 - Thank you very much! I've heard that it takes away your appetite. I've had only one shot so far and since it's only a once a week shot I'm not sure I've had time to experience the full effects of the shot yet. I'm starting on 5 units for 4 weeks, then 10 units for 4 weeks, then 20 for the rest of the time. The morning after my first shot I woke up not feeling too good and I wasn't hungry at all. I drank my morning coffee as usual but had nothing to eat. We had my daughter's baby shower later in the day and I ate at that but not a lot and I didn't have a lot to eat that night either. I haven't lost my appetite but have noticed that I am still hungry but seem to be satisfied after I eat and I'm not snacking between meals or eating late at night like I was - and this is after only one shot. I'd like to cut down on what I'm eating and it seems that hasn't yet happened. I'm still eating the same amount for dinner but I guess at least not snacking means I am eating less.

My A1C is 5.4 and I am off two medications for diabetes one being insulin.I have 5 lbs to lose to get to my first main goal and then about 10-15 to get to the ideal BMI for my height.I am no longer in plus size clothes and am very happy with that as well. I am on the first box of Ozempic. I never went any higher. I had quite a bit of nausea and headaches at first but that was from the other diabetic medications causing my blood sugar to run low.For myself, slow and easy has worked for me. I also eat on a small plate and eat kid size portions when eating out.

    Tldr: eat heavy meals like he said. Fat is great especially. I think if it like a camel storing water. Fill the tank to the top and slowly use the energy until empty and start again.
    Read on if you want to read about my theories and ideas on how I lost 95lbs so far. Over 8 months.
    I've been on 1mg Ozempic for about 8 months now. I've lost 95lbs. I started eating whatever I wanted. Usual 2 burgers and fries randomly or similar and found that due to the slow digestion of food one fast food meal would totally tide me over for 1 to 2 days before I got hungry enough. Id nibble of course (I didn't need to, I stopped the snacks altogether when I realized I was still digesting my last meal) but it was amazing.
    Now, there was a time I ran out of food and money and started eating leaner. Everything got messed up and I would binge more due to the low fat food that digsted too fast. I plateaued and even gain a few pounds.
    So yes, it seems weird but a nice heavy meal takes its time digesting and provides a steady stream of energy without all the blood sugar fluctuations from eating all the time. You honestly don't feel like eating and probably won't for a day.
    Picture this: that amazing satisfied feeling you get after eating a proper meal? And how you feel full until next meal time? That's what it feels like when you are digesting a meal over much longer time. If someone mentions food its repulsive. Not because you are sick, but you genuinely feel satiated until the next day or two.
    So you eat a fulfilling meal of 1200 to 1600 calories if you really push it. Now divide those calories by the days it takes to feel hungry again.
    If you eat leaner you are defeating the purpose as you aren't getting the benefit of nice steady sugar levels. So you end up eating way more calories than the big satisfying meal that makes you full forever.
    I will suddenly think about the fact that I didn't think about food even once in the day or two.
    Please note: I HATE eating and always resented having to eat to manage my hypoglycemia. This is no longer the case and no longer have spend half my life worrying about food. So your mileage may vary. I'm already predisposes to not wanting food.
    100% believe now that eating light and "healthy" completety sabotages the benefits of nice slow digestion and a steady stream of energy. I'm back to normal now losing weight. What a weird experiment I got forced into ha.
    Make sure you pay attention to your nutrition and talk to your doctor about what supplements to take as you are no longer eating as much or varied foods.

      @@davidjamesthomas whoops. I didn't see your comment. There are a few doctors talking about this. Try that first if you want, but try the big meal, preferrably around lunch. That diet you mentioned is for when you've reached your goals. I just wanted to let people know how I was most successful. Your goal is to keep your bloodsugar steady. Whenever you eat you are interrupting the process. So a nice meal of meat and potatoes can take 24 hours to digest so getting hungry isn't a thing. So you eat when you get hungry and eat what you want.
      So try both ways. I found if I ate small means my weight loss stopped.
      This drug is still being studied still. I just want to offer ideas on how I've lost 115lbs now.

      Thanks for asking. When I first started I was very lethargic, for like 3 months, then when I got to 1.7 I started feeling a little better. I started working, eating more veggies and protein but the weight loss is still slow. If I strive myself I see some weight loss, that can happen without Wegovy, but eating healthy and pushing myself at the gym the process is still slow to no progress. 😔 Best of luck to whomever you are.

    This was a confusing video. I can't figure out if this doctor is saying fatty foods are good or bad if you're taking these weight loss drugs. I also felt confused about the discussion about sweet foods, although there at least it seems he said sweet foods will make you feel sick, stay off them if you can and try to break your sugar addiction - and that is great advice, along with the caution that it may take weeks to do so. But he starts off saying that these drugs may produce an aversion to eating fatty foods and doing so will make you nauseous. Then he shows the results of a medical study that showed greater weight loss if people on these drugs ate keto or carnivore so these foods (which by definition tend to be high in fat) are better for you. Then he suggests that it might be easier if you at least initially maintained whatever diet you have previously been on, including low fat or low carb so you can acclimate to a more gradual shift to a high protein, more fatty meat centered diet. Help! What is the actual advice here? No wonder people are so confused.
    Maybe the manufacturers should try to give some advice here other than control your diet and exercise.

My doctor is countering my rapid weight gain 2 years ago from a medium course of prednisone. I had struggled to get any of that weight off for over two years. I’m 3 lbs from that initial weight but we hope to get me down another 15 lbs (from a previous course of prednisone). Anyone else taking this post oral steroid weight gain?

      Now I'm on the semaglutide only and losing about 2-3lbs a week. I do 3 days of weight training and 2 days 30 minute walk.
      I monitor my weight vs fat loss on a scale to ensure I'm losing fat and not muscle.

    but, can you guys please stop advertising the one i NEED to keep my limbs intact, my organs, including eyes and kidneys functioning, from ending up in a coma, or dying... as the next best weight loss drug? of course i know about the weight loss effect, everyone freaking does, but one dosage is meant for it and it's NOT OZEMPIC. diabetics like me are being put on wait lists, and it's putting us in immediate danger! it only takes a few days before our blood sugars start to become unstable without it, where someone taking it for wait loss, isn't at risk within a week.

      There are also other medications for you. Selfish.

      @@cathyl2338 If you're using it just for weight loss because you're vain, then I find you to be the selfish one here. They are saying that you should go for the ones focused on weight loss and not ones labeled for those that have diabetes. The backorder issue is potentially life-threatening. You losing a couple of pounds isn't life threatening.

      @@cathyl2338 what? you think diabetics don't take other medications? that we don't use a variety to help control our diabetes? that it's wrong that we're upset about a drug labeled for DIABETIC USE, is being advertised for weight loss only pretty much now everywhere? the only alternative that is similar, isn't covered by most insurance and is for weight loss. i take 1/4 the dose compared to someone who uses it for weight loss, because that's not what i use it for. not having it is life threatening within DAYS, not weeks or months. it's 3 days, before i become unstable off of it. every drop and spike does damage to my organs, blood vessels, risks my life.
      the difference between me and someone who uses it for weight loss, diet doesn't help, like it would them. i don't produce enough insulin, diet only works so far as to what i eat, and after that is where medications like ozempic kick in. it helps produce more insulin and reduce insulin resistance.
      so, tell me again how i'm selfish over a drug i require to freakin live?
