The mental state lag is real and underreported - the switch to sema is worth trying, but mood tends to be least stable in the first few weeks of any new medication.
The whole not-obsessing-over-food thing is the part that surprised me most - it frees up so much mental space for everything else, including actually enjoying being around people. Glad it clicked for you.
75 lbs down and holding for close to a year is the full picture. The strength training add in the last year is the piece that makes the maintenance stick - muscle is the metabolic anchor.
I only lasted a few weeks on Ozempic before switching, and it was the best thing ever. Almost no side effects, but great weight loss. I can eat normally (within reason) and have a drink without feeling tired, nauseous, and awful. It was a total game-changer for me!
