The dose ceiling on MJ where GI sides become unmanageable is a real pattern - for some people it's a signal that the dose is too high rather than the wrong medication. If the stomach problems started escalating around the same dose increase, stepping back to the prior dose often resolves them...

Research mode before ordering is the approach that avoids most of the problems.

260 to 201 is the stretch where the face change is usually the first thing people notice - almost at goal is the right place to be.

I am so with you right now. It's like my brain is divorced from my stomach. Like I should be hungry, but the thought of eating is just…bleh.

I really appreciate these kinds of posts, especially since I just began this.

The lack of 'food noise' is fantastic, but the fact that everything tastes like cardboard is not fun. I stopped making things at home for a little while because the smells and textures were too much. I started using a meal replacement service for a while. It was reliable and didn't have that...

Don't be afraid to increase your dose if you're still stalled after a few weeks, Wes_19. Some people need a higher dose to see continued progress. But also, be patient!

You're doing great! How much water are you drinking? I've been stuck for weeks, but I'm trusting the process. I've lost 36.5kgs since starting. Your cheesecakes are exactly what you needed. It also wouldn't have mattered if you'd had them as extra calories. Treats are good for the soul!

It's vital to prioritize safety when considering compounded medications. Thoroughly vet any compounding pharmacy and confirm they adhere to stringent quality control measures.

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I think I'll try stepping up slowly to 1.5mg and see how that goes. I appreciate all the input!

Don't stress too much! You've lost almost 30lbs already! Weight loss slows. And like everyone has said, you just started 5mg. Give it time to work. Maybe you're being too hard on yourself about stuff like cheesecake or cookies. Cut yourself some slack. If you're staying within your calorie...

That women's service is often mentioned. When choosing, check how fast they ship, handle refills, and adjust doses. The initial price doesn't matter if they don't support you later. There are other places where communication is online through a portal, so research a few and find what’s best.

Have you had lab work done recently?

I "only" needed to lose 25 and I'm down 10lbs in a little over a month. I was given a mental health drug for bipolar that causes rapid weight gain, which caused the first 15lbs. I couldn't lose any weight on that med, even eating almost nothing. Then I broke my foot and gained another 5. My...

Could someone tell me how many clicks I need? I have 1mg pens and want to get to 1.5mg.

I've been using a different service for around 9 months now, and it's working out wonderfully. The price is good, they don't charge a subscription fee, and they accept FSA payments directly.

I went from 185 to 145. Losing those 40 pounds changed everything.

Hi everyone, I haven't had much luck with weight loss on Ozempic so far. I've been on 1mg for a year and a half, and I've only lost about 15 pounds. On the plus side, my A1C is great. It's at 5.1, which is a big improvement. (It was around 5.8 with just Metformin.) My doctor is willing to up...

I think that finding a good therapist is important... I have been working on my mental health issues for a while now, and that is helping me with the mood swings that these medications can cause. It is worth looking into, especially if you have a history of depression or anxiety.

For those of you using the pens, do you try to get every last bit out? I've noticed it always looks like there's a little something left after the last click. Is it worth it to try and draw that out with an insulin syringe?
