I saw a post about someone who quit drinking and couldn't eat anything on Ozempic. It mentioned the importance of "mechanical eating"-- setting alarms to ensure you consume a certain amount of calories at regular intervals. Seems like solid medical advice.

I've stopped caring about food. It's made throwing dinner parties impossible. I feel silly, but I forget things like side dishes, desserts, and nice drinks. 🤷‍♀️

Something I've been wondering about... I'm using the 4mg pen and injecting 2mg a week. Last week I got distracted and might have given myself an extra dose. Anyone know what an almost-empty pen looks like with 2mg left? I think I overdosed.

Nope.

Hello! I began taking semaglutide about 2 weeks ago. So far I’m down a solid 7 pounds. I have a trip planned June 7th-14th. I was wondering how you all travel with your medication since it needs to stay cold. Or would you just not dose that week? How would skipping work? Any help is greatly...

I still feel the occasional urge, but when I actually drink, I get so queasy that I almost throw up. So, I've pretty much stopped.

I used to drink multiple cups of coffee every day. Now I can barely manage two cups a week! I miss the routine of grinding the beans, heating the water, picking out a mug, the lovely aroma, and the warm feeling. Now, I usually leave my cup half-finished.

For the initial couple of months, I had zero desire to drink. Now, the urge has slowly crept back in, though I'm still drinking way less than pre-medication.

The 4-week timeframe isn't a hard rule. I usually go for about 3 months, as long as there's no visible degradation and it's refrigerated correctly.

It's important to remember that all anti-obesity medications have contraindications. They shouldn't be used in patients with hypersensitivity to the drug (e.g., anaphylaxis) or in those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Also, be cautious about hypoglycemia, especially if you're...

I agree with FTW - it's about weighing the relative risks. If you're seeing benefits at 1mg with minimal side effects, and your A1c is improving, staying at that dose might be the most prudent course of action. Escalating the dosage unnecessarily can sometimes lead to increased side effects...

Not about weight! Haha. I would like my hair to get your color! What do you tell your hair dresser?

If the 1mg dose is working well and facilitating weight loss, I'd recommend maintaining that dosage.

Good question I am not exercising at all, because I feel so weak.

My energy levels haven't changed since starting on a glp-1. I've been on them since 2005 and Ozempic since 2018. I have as much energy now as I've ever had.

You look stunning, then and now. Do you have loose skin under your chin?

Lower the dose and increase the amount of protein - got it!

I started Ozempic about a quarter of a year ago, and at the time I was drinking pretty regularly. Like, half a dozen beers most nights. I decided to quit maybe six weeks ago because the hangovers were absolutely brutal. Now that I've quit drinking, eating anything feels like I'm trying to climb...

I've been on TRT for about half a decade and it's made a real difference in my energy and strength. But, I'm still struggling to lose my belly fat. I workout hard and have tried different diets. My doctor recently recommended ipamorelin because my IGF-1 was a little low. Anyone have experience...

It's not just you, ShotProgress247. It's happening a lot lately, and it's annoying. I'm tired of seeing AI-generated text that doesn't really understand what I'm asking. If the AI could actually solve the problem, I wouldn't need to ask in the first place!
