Wow!It's nice!

Any side effects?

@@paulashields7173 I did experience nausea when I first started and when I increased my dose. That was all, I had zofran to help with that and now I have no further side effects. Thankfully. I work with a lot of ladies that did experience side effects, some to the extent that they had to quit the medication. So I think I am one of the lucky ones.

@@paulashields7173not many, just some violent shaking randomly n explosive diarrhoea but should be g

What’s that Mam

@@lusandakunene7619 the ingredient in Oxempic. I take it in compound pharmacy form

​@@alexandraalbertz1442 from empower pharmacy?

@@buckshatt340 no. Why?

@Alexandra Albertz I jist started mine Saturday got it from a compounding pharmacy in Houston called EMPOWER PHARMACY it also has vitamin B Cyanocobalamin in it. Was just curious

Wow! that’s impressive. Keep it 👍🏾

Just gonna started I’m nervous

You're strong. I went from 1.5 to 1.7mg progession and it's totally kicking my behind. I can't look at food without feeling nauseated.

I can only take few bites of food, how about you? Loosing weight quickly😊

How’s it going now?

Did you get sick throw up?

How did it go? I'm on my second week and already lost 10 pounds! I'm trying to lose 40 more pounds and I'll be soo happy!

​@@NKatz so impressive!!! Keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤

In on day 6 ans don’t feel any different. Still eating normal

Whatever it takes to get to a normal weight, Charlie! Keep going!! 🎉🎉

@charlie-1850 that is one of the side effects, I would consult with your doctor and ask him what he says. That is not normal. Your body needs protein and nutrients. Just feeding your body on apples 🍏 🍎is not healthy.

Yes. It is within normal range experience. I’d suggest not increasing the dose further but talk with your doc. You don’t want to lose too much muscle in the journey. Some loss is normal and occurs after bariatric surgery as well (just by virtue of substantial weight loss your leg muscles won’t need to be as strong, for instance). So stay active as you can, even considering lowering the dose (some people get a remarkable effect on only 0.25mg) after talking with your doc and see if you can work with an RD on getting adequate protein intake while losing weight to mitigate muscle loss. It won’t take much. Protein has been both over and under rated IMO. There’s a sweet spot. Even an egg white veggie omelette (whites have most of the protein and veggies are best source of micronutrients vs calorie dense egg yolks), cup of lentil soup and a 4 oz piece of salmon - even a quality meal replacement shake (like Zpro25 which includes added vitamins and mineral and was co-designed by an MD nutritionist) or whey protein powder smoothie with berries. Many options. Work with your MD/DO and RD and good luck!

@@Yvettep777 the closest I've gotten to sickness was build up of stomach acid I assume from not eating

How long did it take before you noticed it working?

@peaceandserenity2222 weight loss was the end of the first week and appetite was by dinner the first Morning. I'm on 1mg now and can only eat small meals without feeling like I just ate an entire buffet. I'm 30 lbs down now and get a little queasy here and there.

Any diarrhea and gas?

I’m hungry all the time still tf smh

That’s AMAZING! How long did it take you?

About a year. I have kept it off for about 2 years and counting.@@s.b.2796

Im trying to get back on keto myself. I’m curious to know about medication for weight loss but I’m also scared of the permanent side effects.

Keto spiked my cholesterol

You trolling right

@@aeris4393😂😂that’s what I said too 😅

The time will pass anyway

Exactly

Or did he mean 6-8?

@ametzvill6063 No, it’s 68 weeks. That was the length of the STEP1 clinical trial and roughly when patients reached their nadir/lowest weight

@@DrMcGowanMD Thanks for the clarification.

This is why I haven't started it. But my sister says it because of a high dose.

Not true, I work at a pharmacy and has helped with plenty of p/a to get it covered. Typically it's a copay of $50 but yes cash price it's 1,600 before insurance or coupons or presented.

Nonsense insurance 99 percent of the time does not cover any of these weight loss drugs

Have any of you tried Prescription RX?

Did you gain the weight back after stopping the medication?

Why are you still at the lowest dose?

@@natalierandrews the clinic wanted me to stay at the lowest dose at first for a month and then they raise it up by .5 every two weeks I’m currently at .20 and lost 6 pounds. I’m gonna keep going up until it suits me.

@@lp1043You have to change your diet and exercise too.

How’s it going for you now that it’s been 6 months?

@@nolanme it’s worked very well for me. I’m down 20 pounds altogether. I’m on .50 I don’t have a lot of stomach issues. Just very uncomfortable if you eat too much. Only down fall is the $350 a month. I skipped one month and gained 3 pounds so it’s definitely a long term solution unless you get very serious about weight loss which I can’t anymore. I have four jobs and I’m not motivated like I was in my younger years

Where do you get the prescription from

Not if you lift with progressive overload and eat 1 gram per pound lean body mass per day

Try a drip spa

It seems so expensive in Usa. In uk if you got it from private seller online it ranges from £180-£250 for 1 months supply.

This happened to me for the first 2 weeks. I used to run at least 2 miles everyday and when I started wegovy I completely stopped because I was fatigued but after 2 weeks I was able to start again and feel better

Wegovy and Ozempic are different. Wegovy is for those who need to loose weight and the other is for diabetes 😅

You can say that about every single medication ever.

@@NotQuiteEpiccorrect!

There are always people who get sick off a medication

How long did it take you?

Im at 34 lbs now. Its now 4 weeks. My body reacted very fast to the medicine. Its slowing down but im still dropping. Hunger is low. Physical activity is up now.

​@@charlie-1850How many mg are you on and what weight did you start with? Im 270 and i goingbto be taking raw Semiglutide but want to tailor the doseage to my weight. Did you diet and exercise also?

​@@charlie-1850wow thats great! I just got approved for this. Im currently at 6'1" at 438 pounds and hope it helps me.

I’ve used this for 5 weeks and haven’t lost much weight, probably 1kg. It curbed my appetite but still no weight loss.

But hey that's awesome! Better than 4lbs! 😆 You got this!

@@allenwestee8364 lol Thanks so much! Better than no pounds at all. Moving to .05 this week

​@@kenya88831 How's the new dose working?

@iesharobinson8444 Well, I had to skip the .50 dose because of the shortage. A pharmacist suggested that I ask for the dose that was available, and it worked. I have been on the 1mg for the last 6 days. Down 3 pounds, and my appetite restricted considerably. It does cause nausea the first few days, but it goes away unless I eat unhealthy.

I’ve lost zero so far in three weeks

Are you exercising and changing your diet?

@@Ellie80681 I have tried to change my diet I have made myself cut back and eat healthy but I’m still hungry all the time, I don’t do any exercise but I have a very active job. I just hope things kick in soon

Hi Same Day. Semaglutide is probably not going to work for you. Consider talking to your doctor about alternative FDA approved weight loss medications, or possibly adding metformin ER. But if you’ve not noticed any benefits by now, they are unlikely to have a “delayed kick in”. Talk to your doctor. Hope this helps. Good luck! PS: consider the book Volumetrics: How to Feel Full on Fewer Calories by Professor Barbara Rolls of Penn State University.

@@DrTomMD Thankyou for your advise, notes taken.

25 in two weeks? Wow. That is substantial. Are you eating better now? (No more "3 apples a day.)

Im at 29 lbs so far now. I still can not stomach anything but apples and boiled eggs. Water and unsweetened tea. I cut grass with the push mower not with my riding mower. My jeans are now at 40 waist. It was at 48.

​@@charlie-1850wow great results! Keep it up!

Where’s a study showing the fat cells multiply?

Found the personal trainer losing money off this, if you have a smart doctor they tell you this and they tell you to do weight training for this reason

They don't know. Everything is preliminary. Not even peer-reviewed yet. But the stock price has jumped significantly and they expect to earn billions. Don't risk it, IMO.

Everyone has a different starting weight (in lbs or kg), so we have to look at the percentage of weight loss so that you can understand how that relates to your starting weight. For instance, if the average weight loss is 15%, someone who weighs 200lbs will lose 30lbs. Someone who weighs 400lbs will lose 60lbs (average).

@@DrMcGowanMD it could be percentage per month for a specific BMI. is it a completely steady progression for the full 68 weeks? that would only be less than 1 percent per month. Rather subtle effect. Is that without caloric restriction? is that 'normal' eating.

Go to a med spa place

He did.

Weight loss😂

Ozempic is for diabetes and it’s sister Wegovy (approved by FDA for weight loss) it’s for whoever BMII is over 30-35 0r 29 + high cholesterol levels can get this but needs approval by their doctor or a health clinic for weight loss. Stop hating on people who are getting this to lose weight because USA food is trash,: causing Chronicle diseases obesity, imbalance hormones..etc.

Wegovy is FDA approved for the treatment of weight, not diabetes. Ozempic is for diabetes. But you are correct that supplies for all of these meds are limited and Ozempic, in particular, should be reserved for those with diabetes.

@@DrMcGowanMD thank you

My husband is a diabetic and is prescribed ozempic, I am not a diabetic and I was prescribed wegovy. Similar drugs, similar outcome but one is specifically designed for diabetics and the other is not. Also there is no shortage, that is a lie cooked up by the media.

It’s a potential problem and something that we should all be aware of. I have never received a single penny from a pharmaceutical company, as it might bias my views. I’m an advocate for weight treatments that work, that’s it. The good news is that physician payments are publicly available and searchable.

@@DrMcGowanMD but it is not against your lisecense and until the medical governance makes a law against those doctors promoting for the sake of $$$ they will continue. In the UK half the GP's got paid 27, 500 each add and would blatantly promote covid vaccines.. now look where we are at with all that... pharmacuiticals (the zombie satanist zianist theifs) have to make their money somehow.. are we going to hear the same about these so called wieght loss drugs after a while........ all of a sudden they blood clots etc... we cannot even trust our own doctors now.. I sugges go on a diet and simpy exercise. The End. Be safe and do not trust any of those pharaceduticals ... so many healthy treatments instead we are pumped drugs.. my god what has this soceity come to its sick for money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

68 weeks

Your doctor will prescribe it

Absolutely.

This is precisely why randomized, placebo controlled studies are required. In the STEP1 clinical trial, patients who used the active semaglutide lost 14.9% of their weight. Those who received the placebo injection (and made the same lifestyle changes) only lost 2.4% of their weight. This type of study “proves” the impact of the study medication over placebo.
