- How To Succeed Taking Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro:
Be patient - fat in your body comes in three forms: brown fat, white fat and fibrous fat. The fat that is hardest to get rid of (and hardest to the touch too!) is fibrous fat. Fibrous fat must go through a softening period before your body can start to get rid of it. So just be patient and let that fibrous fat soften up!
Manage your side effects - the most common side effect from these medications is nausea which can be combatted with a weekly B-12 injection from your doctor. If you are still nauseous after trying this, ask your doctor if they are using “methylated” B-12, otherwise known as Methylcobalamin. Your body might need some help methylating the B-12.
Hydrate! - In order to get properly hydrated you must consume electrolytes which you can get from fruits and veggies. I however recommend that you take electrolyte supplements if you feel that you cannot get enough fruits and veggies daily. Trust me, you’re not the only one!
What to do if the medicine stops working - You have a few options. First, you might not be on a high enough dosage. Secondly, you might need to switch medications to get the dose you need OR your body might react more successfully to “tirzepatide” (in drug in Mounjaro) vs. “semaglutide” (the drug in Ozempic and Weygovy). Lastly, you may need to get your insulin levels checked. If they are too low the medicine can stop working.

I had been on Trulicity for a couple of years and it did nothing for. Then last November, a friend told me about Mounjaro and I switched. I started out with 5mg on November 16th. By Christmas, I was down 20 pounds. I titrated up to 7.5mg and by May 1 was down another 40 pounds. I’m 5’7” and my heaviest was at 208. I’m now down and maintaining at 148 and I feel better than I have in years. No more blood pressure or cholesterol meds. I thank God for these meds. They’re literally changing folks lives without the need for surgery.
Wow! What a beautiful testimony! Thank you so much for sharing it!!
Just started Ozempic today .50. Will see what happens. Really wanted Manjaro but cannot get it as yet. What do you eat in a day? I have over 100lb to lose.
@@henowillson934 Dear Heno;
Thank you for your comment.
You are not the only one who has told me up there difficulty in getting Mounjaro. Hopefully this world wide shortage.
Regarding what you should eat, I would focus on trying to eat healthy, full foods; you should stay away from foods, heavy in sugar and fats, although healthy fats like those found in avocados, cheese and nuts iPhone as long as they are not taken in access.
The good news is that the medicine will help to lessen the amountof food you eat which is critical for weight loss. And due to its effects on the receptors in your gut, one of the great features of these medicines is a decrease in appetite!!!
I wish you the best of luck on your weight-loss journey!
Great! I'm so happy for you
So true. She's amazing.
With Ozempic I didn’t have much of an appetite and I used this opportunity to make healthier food choices when I forced myself to eat the 4-6 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. I hope my comments help others to be successful on their weight loss journey.
Brava!!! You are a rockstar!!
I am sure your comments will be cherished by and helpful to many!!
Be well!!
Yes I’m going to do the same
That's great! Good strategy. Unfortunately for me, the veggies that I eat make me really sick when taking Ozempic. I've had to give up broccoli, cauliflower, and kale. These cause me really gross burps and violent vomitting.
That's exactly what I'm going to do. I hope to only be on Ozempic for three months. By then I should have established much more healthy eating.
I just started ozempic a week ago. I'm only at a 0.25 dosage once a week. I am losing my appetite already. I, too, am trying to eat more fruits and vegetables. I am also drinking more water and trying to do 30 min of exercise a day.
Wow, this doctor is a "people's" doctor. Thanks for your person to person, realistic explanation, including things I didn't even know after all my research!
This doctor seems so nice! She presents herself so well, and explains everything very clearly. Thank you!
Why are the vlogs only coming out now. I’ve been on Ozempic for over a year with very little direction😊
I’m this and my A1C went from 8.5 to 5.8 patience is the key. I’ve been on it since September.
Wow!!! This is wonderful to hear. I am very happy for you!!
I’m going to take my first injection tomorrow, nervous and excited! Thanks for all the tips!
So how's it going?
I’m supposed to start Mounjaro on Wednesday 🤞🏾😮💨🙏🏾 I’m nervous, but excited to start and see results.
Good luck!!
Thank you, Dr. O!! I had my 4th injection and weigh-in today and "only" lost 1.4 lbs. I had to remind myself that I've lost almost 13 lbs in a month, feel that my chronic inflammation has disappeared, have clearly lost inches AND can tell that my metabolism has been flipped back to "on". In other words, I need to HUSH and BE PATIENT, just as you said!🥰
I love the way you are thinking!! Congratulations on your amazing progress to date, and I wish you all the best for continued success!!
Love the tips! ❤
You remind me of every doctor I’ve loved having in my life. I have lost 40lbs through reducing calories. I started Ozempic 1mg yesterday and I plan to lose 80 more. Thank you for these very helpful tips about how the body works. I appreciate it so much. Thank you! Have a good day Doctor O!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing such kind sentiments with me. I am grateful. I wish you the best of luck in losing the next 80 pounds!! Be well.
How has it been going? I’m starting 1mg of Ozempic today. I’m so anxious lol! What has your experience been?
@@luxandlifeshop still losing weight. On second month. I swear it feels like a miracle in that I don’t always think about food.
My skin has gotten better, my eyes are brighter (not kidding), non pain when I walk. I feel beautiful again.
I haven’t weighed myself since I went to doctor but I can button up a denim shirt that I had never been able to :)
Good luck!
@@baddie1shoe Wow, that sounds great! I’m so glad to hear that it’s going well. I hope that you keep getting great results and reach your goals. Good luck! And thank you so much! I look forward to sharing my success story as well.
I loved that you addreseed the weight loss without bisas! I used mounjaro and the results were AMAZING! i used it for 3 months and lost about 30 lbs. Then got my mommy makeover.

Dear Catherine,
Thank you for your kind comment.

Great video --- lots of information and not boring!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you 🙏
Such good information! I have been on Semaglutide since 3/28/23 doing the usual 4 weeks ea of .25, then .50, then 1.0, then 1.7 and now finally 2.4. I did not lose 1 single pound in those first 3 months! SO Discouraging, but luckily I did take my measurements each month and have lost 15 inches in this time period. Finally when I made it to the 1.7 dose I started losing 1 lb a week, and now that I'm at 2.4 I'm steadily losing 2 lbs a week. I feel fantastic and much more motivated & happy now that the scale is moving in the right direction. I've also been on WW thru this all. The Fibrous Fat talk you gave really hit me as it makes so much sense. My husband could feel my fat loosening up and he kept saying that all the time the scale didn't move. Some really helpful secrets I have learned off of youtube is #1 take your shots at night to avoid the nausea. Also when you get to the highest dose, give yourself the shot in the fat on the side of your thighs instead of your stomach and you won't get nausea. This was a game changer for me at least. Hope that helps someone like me (I still need to lose 50 lbs).
Hi ! Thank you so much for sharing your weight loss journey on my UA-cam channel. I apologize for not answering you sooner. I simply missed your wonderful remarks.😕
I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to hear how well you are doing. And, I must tell you how it is so kind of you to share your story so that others may learn from your experience.
On or around August 10, I will be posting another video talking a bit more about understanding why at times it seems like the medicines are not working, not only at the start of the program, but also after being on the medicine for months. Hopefully, this will also help people understand what can happen in their body while on the medicine, and how to manage the changes!
Again, thank you very much for your comment. I wish you continued success on your weight loss journey!
This video is awesome & very helpful! Good stuff!! Thanks ❤
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish you all the best!
Thank for the great explanation! I start this week. And wanted more information.

I agree also, these tips are the most helpful I have read. There are so many that make the side affects so scary to try. I see so many people, that I know do so well in their weight loss journey.

Hi Dr. O, thanks for sharing this. I just started Ozempic. Taking my 2nd dose tomorrow. I heard about the nausea when I go up to 5mg so this information will help.
My doctor suggested taking Ozempic, she saw my hesitation and told me to do my research and on my follow-up we'd discuss more. Thank you for the information, definitely took some notes.
HI! I am so happy that you found my video helpful. I wish you all the best of good health!
