Been on this two years. Only issue is intermittent bowel stuff. A1c went down from 6 to 4.5. Lost about 40, not huge for someone tiny like me. Food noise gone completely. Sometimes forgot meals. Two mg currently, food's just whatever.
When you've been off junk food for 6 months are those cravings actually gone? I know every sober person says even after 10 years it's still a daily thing. Or maybe that's just become their story.
The sweet shift on Ozempic is real for a lot of people - the appetite suppression affects different food categories unevenly. Wanting sweets more while eating less overall is a strange combination but it's consistent with what many people on Ozempic report. The satiation response just doesn't hit sweets the same way it hits heavy food.
1mg killing appetite so effectively that the only things that still appealed were in a narrow category is such a common weirdness on GLP-1s. The normal food losing its pull while certain specific things still register is the reward pathway behaving differently from the hunger pathway. Did the narrow craving window eventually expand as you got used to the dose?
