First Ozempic dose - I'm stoked!

So excited to begin this journey!

Did you mean 0.25 mg? Anyway, congrats and best of luck!

Wishing you the best! I just did my fourth injection today.

You've got this! So happy for you starting out.

All the best on your path forward! Peppermint tea is great for any nausea, and magnesium can help with the constipation some folks experience.

Good luck! Just a reminder that the medication is only part of the battle.

I also just started this week! Had my initial dose three days ago.

About to do my 4th injection! Bumping up to 0.5 next week.

 

[A_Thin_New_Me]

Hey! I actually took my first shot yesterday. We should keep in touch!

 

[Oz_Squad_Leader]

That's awesome! How are you feeling so far?

Thanks for the tips! I've been having some issues. I'll grab some tea later.

Checked my weight this morning and was thrilled-after 5 weeks I'm down 5.7kg, which is already 20% of my target gone. Eating protein-focused meals and drinking tons of water, no serious workouts yet. So far I've had four 2.5mg shots plus one 5mg dose.

For those just starting, it's normal to feel a little anxious but also excited! I found some helpful onboarding info that explained what to expect each week.

I wish I started building a routine of eating more protein *before* I even started the meds. It would have helped a lot with the initial side effects.

 

[A_Thin_New_Me]

Good luck. Remember, you have to put in the work, too.

Yep! I know the medication helps, but I gotta make healthier choices to reach my goals!

Something I didn't expect was how much my appetite changed! Used to love spicy food and carbonated drinks, but they don't sit well with me anymore. Anyone else experience this?

For me it's been like that first trimester feeling - not hungry at all, food smells weird, random nauseous moments. Some foods I used to eat just seem off now.

First semaglutide reaction: movie theater popcorn destroyed me for hours. Peanut butter was brutal too. After two years at 0.25, I can have small amounts without issues.

Novavax does a 3-dose series upfront. Lasts longer in your system than the other type and seems more durable overall from what I've read.

If you're starting out, go slow - real slow. Begin with one dose and give your body time to adjust before adding more. Everyone's different and you won't know how you'll respond until it happens. This isn't a sprint.
