Ozempic - Weight Loss And Side Effects (Page 3)

I started Ozempic in October 2021.

I was 209 pounds. I am now 134 pounds.

I first started taking Ozempic .25 mg for 3 weeks. I really didn’t lose that much weight and no s/e. I was still a little hungry then I was increased to .50 mg. My appetite started to decrease, and I did that for 3 weeks. Then I started the regular dose of 1 mg, my appetite definitely decreased. I started doing portion control. Eat 1/2 wait 20 min. I never wanted more. I always say to myself: you can eat anything .. just eat small amount .. wait 20 min .. still hungry .. you eat .. not you don’t. I never did. There are many times I had no or little appetite. I also learned you better eat because I passed out twice low blood sugar (I’m not Diabetic; I just needed to eat).

I always drink a lot of water, and I make sure especially on Ozempic that I do that because I do have IBS, and I tend to get constipated. In June, 9 months after I started Ozempic, I had constipation probably every week and nausea and vomiting every other week. I don’t know if IBS or Ozempic. I decided I’ve had enough. I was on on maintenance .50mg since July. Today I’m starting .25 mg. This dose won’t be every week but will slowly spread out 7 days, next 11 days, days, next 18 days whatever so my appetite comes back slowly.

Was it worth it? Yes!!

I needed to do this mainly for health reasons. It was TOTALLY worth it even if I suffered with the above side effects, but that being said, I’m happy I’m done, and hoping side effects were related to Ozempic and not IBS so now I can go out and really enjoy my life!

Re: Tina (# 19)

I had my first dose last Friday (.25mm). Every thing was fine until today (Tuesday). I started feeling nausea and 10 minutes later I had major vomiting. I'll stick it out but I don't think I'll increase my dose next week.
