If you took Semaglutide/Ozempic, when did you notice a difference?

I don't understand comments like yours. Is it really that tasking to just ignore this thread?

I know nothing about any of these drugs. Does it make you lose your appetite for junk food or all food?

What exactly does it do to you? Make you not eat much? Make you nauseous? I really am curious.

I don’t really want sweets. If we go out for dinner, I might have 3-4 bites of DH’s desserts. They always taste very rich and very sweet. And more than 3 or so bites and I start to feel sick and don’t want any more. So, built in portion control.

I will hit one year on Wegovy and then Zepbound next week. Down 85 pounds. And the “easy way out” folks have no idea what they are talking about. The medication bariatric surgery level weight loss possible. It does not make it easy— especially since I am almost 50 and have managed to have less than 10% of my weight loss be muscle. 1200 calories a day, 100+ grams of protein. 60 minutes of exercise 5 days a week, 2 of those doing strength training with a personal trainer, plus yoga, Pilates and starting tail chi to get in a sixth day of movement. Working with a dietician, a trainer, a therapist, a bariatric PA…

I’m really unclear who starts to benefit from my not losing this weight. There are serious health consequences to being that obese. Unless some people like me fat so than can feel superior behind my back. And to be clear, I’ve put a lot of efforts into previous attempts and not gotten very far.

You just don’t care about food. You (should) eat a healthy, nutrient and protein dense diet that put you at a calorie deficit because eating is necessary to live, not because you are all that hungry or craving it. And fried, processed and sweet foods in particular just seem gross. It feels like a reset from living to eat to eating to live. No real cravings, so it’s easier to make healthy choices.

I noticed a difference once I got to 1.25 to 1.5 mg dose. Significantly reduced my food cravings especially for carbs and sugar. Lost 15 lbs in about six months.

So far? I can eat less. I am slightly less interested in food and find it easier to make good choices.
