Semaglutide not leading to weight loss?

[Anonymous]

Does this happen? I did it over a year ago for about 3 months, lost a lot of weight, stopped (due to side effects) and regained. Took the plunge and started again a couple weeks ago. I am definitely hungry less and eating a lot less...but I have lost NO weight! How is this possible? Last time I shed 10lbs almost immediately.

I know but last time I had lost 10lbs already by that point.

How big are you? What is the point of starting and stopping every year? You will regain, lose, regain, lose.

You lost 10 lbs within two weeks of starting a semaglutide? I seriously doubt it had anything to do with the drug then and it was all psychological.

Up your dose

No, no, no. Follow the doctor's recommendations. Stay on the lowest dose for 4 weeks and then possibly up.

Yes. Your weight loss the first time you were on the meds screwed up your metabolism and your Basal Metabolic Rate is probably very low now.

I am planning to stay on it this time.

If you lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks the first time it was mostly water weight.

I have been on it for 6 months and lose 1-2 lbs a week. Mostly 1. It takes time and a LOT of effort to lose weight in peri.

Are you using a compounding pharmacy?

That's my guess; who knows how much you are actually getting. My doctor refuses to write scripts for compounding pharmacies.

Total and utter BS. Propaganda if you will. You have no proof for anything you're saying.

I am. Do not really have a choice as I'd not qualify otherwise (plus could not afford the name brand without insurance). Same pharmacy I used before and was great.

Sorry, it’s not going to work the same. It’s going to hit the body differently. I mean eventually you’ll lose, but not like the first time.
