For anyone just starting out, remember weight loss is usually gradual. I've been on a similar med for about two years and dropped around 60 lbs. Hydration and light exercise are key!

The burn on belly placement is common at 0.25mg - it often improves once the area adapts. Slower dissolution is normal; timing varies by injection site and whether you warmed the pen first.

First shot down is the hardest part of starting - 350 to 260 is very doable on this.

56 in menopause and starting Ozempic - the timing is actually good because GLP-1s have solid data in that demographic. The 'possibly feeling less inflamed' signal in the first two weeks is a real early indicator that the metabolic pathway is responding. Side effects tend to be minimal at 0.25mg for most people.
