Ozempic? Ozempic is amazing for your liver as it helps clear out visceral fat so well. My enzymes went from borderline high to the lowest they’ve ever been.

You do understand that it doesn’t likely magically shed your pounds for you? You need to eat less, move more and cut out the carbs. Do that and it will work.

If that worked for OP she wouldn’t need the medication lol. Yes, the medication does essentially magically suppress your appetite so you eat less.

Of course it would have worked for OP had she done it.

Look, I take Ozempic because I got a diagnosis of type 2. Before I took it I lost 50 pounds by walking 5 miles a day and limiting carbs to about 125 mg a day, and most of them with fiber. I wrote everything I ate down so I could also see calories were more limited (about 1,800 a day). That was BEFORE Ozempic.

I went on Ozempic and started being a little more lax. I gained back 10 pounds during a period of work travel and the holidays. But my A1C is under six. The doc said if you really want to continue losing you need to do the things you were doing before, don’t just expect Ozempic to be some magical weight loss pill (or injection, as the case may be). I am now on 2 mg dose as of a couple of weeks ago so we will see if I can make more progress on the weight front.

But no, you can’t just take it and continue your old eating and exercise habits and expect it to work.

Shrug. It actually does work like that for a lot of people. That’s how it worked for me. I’ve lost 60 pounds so far with no change in diet and almost 0 exercise.

NP, but that is amazing! Good for you. How long have you been on it? I have been on Ozempic for over a year and am finally down 20 pounds (barely). I will keep on truckin'...

Until you stop taking it... it wont sustain if you don't have a healthy food and exercise regimen. No doctor would recommend meds without the rest.

No it’s not. The appetite suppression comes from delayed gastric emptying, which can also cause nausea.

Well, aren’t you the clever, special, knowledgeable one! Thanks for clarifying this critically important distinction! And here I thought I lost weight because I ate less when food made me feel sick.

I don't plan to stop taking it. Since I'm treating my chronic condition, obesity, I will be taking it for life as long as I can afford to.

They're the exact same drug, semaglutide. If you're taking ozempic for weight loss, one should pay attention to what the dose for weight loss is.

I know that, I just thought it was funny that poster came here to call someone an idiot, and then didn’t even know the correct dosage for the drug.

Why on earth wouldn't you also exercise for general health?

I do know the correct dosage for the drug, as I am taking it. It is very frustrating and yes, idiotic, when people say it doesn't work when they're not even close to the proven dose for weight loss of semaglutide, which is 2.4mg.
