How much B12 do you use, and do you swallow it? I didn't know it could prevent nausea?

I went up to 0.5 mg last week and I feel awful! I'm going back to 0.25 for sure. So glad to hear it's working for other peeps!

Thanks for sharing your experience. You're looking great! It's interesting you maintained your dose at 0.25 this whole time. I'm just starting so this is super encouraging.

No weight loss for me, after over 4 months at 2 mg. How is this even possible?

Congrats on your success! I started in January and I'm on .50 right now but I felt like I was losing more weight and had no issues at .25. I actually went back down to .25 last night after chatting with my doctor about it. I can already feel the difference after just a day. Less nausea and I was able to eat more protein! Finally! I love hearing success stories like yours. Thanks and you look great, I bet you feel amazing too!

How old are you and what's your height? What was your weekly weight loss rate?

Congrats, you're one of the lucky ones who respond really well to the medication and can stay on a low dose and still see results.

Maybe you're not eating ENOUGH, @Health_Chick134? I know that sounds backwards, but your body will hold onto weight if you're in starvation mode. Are you getting enough protein?Health_Chick134 said:

I'm only on day three of Ozempic... wow. I took my shot Sunday night (.25mg). Yesterday, even water made me feel like I'd eaten Thanksgiving dinner. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and started this medication. I've been counting calories, and I feel incredibly nauseous. Today, Wednesday, I made two eggs and sausage but could only manage half. My dogs got the rest. For lunch, I had leftover homemade sauteed chicken with homemade teriyaki sauce, about 1/3 cup of chicken and the same of white rice. I couldn't finish it. Is this normal?! I usually eat almost 2500 calories a day.

Yes, @Carb_Tracker, it's totally normal. The appetite suppression will probably fade a bit. It happened to me when I started each dose (.25, .5, 1 mg). For the first few weeks, my appetite vanished. Eventually, it came back, but use this time to build new, healthier habits.Carb_Tracker said:

It sucks getting back on. The first week is the worst, but it gets better!Med-Happy said:

Goal weight loss, ignoring dosage progression. Assume any dose up to 15 available. Clinical trial shows five weekly gave 5.4 kilograms loss vs 15 weekly 10.4. Question, should dose be highest manageable without side effects? And if yes, creep up till unmanageable then back down? Your take.
