Eliminated my cravings so I could maintain the calorie deficit I needed to lose weight.
No negative side effects whatsoever. |
DH is 120 lbs overweight and started Wegovy a couple of weeks ago. Here are pros and cons so far:
Cons: --boredom--eating and cooking aren't fun anymore. He is a great cook, but food was killing him. --Sleeping poorly with wild dreams --no reduction in chronic pain, yet Pros: lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks--probably mostly water weight but he needed that too --no alcohol consumption. Not interested at all thankfully. --heart arrhythmia is completely gone. This is huge. --overall optimistic attitude, which is new. |
Mental ease. I was counting macros, weighing food, weighing myself, using MFP religiously and it was causing me so much stress. After 6 months I find myself not overthinking food, eating when I am hungry and stopping when I am not, not weighing myself all the time. It has been a huge improvement in my mental well being and I think a better example for my teen DD. |
I lost interest in shopping. |
Not me! First, I needed new clothes as the weight dropped, although I cheaped out initially since those were in between sizes. Second, shopping is more fun when you pull on a size 6 and it fits (was a 12 before and have been as large as a 14). |

Negative - Ozempic Face |
I find this trollish, and likely untrue. I've been on a sema compound for four months. I do not have Ozempic face. I have maintained muscle. My loss has been steady and gradual. I haven't even progressed passed .75 dose. I'm three pounds from my goal weight and have gone from an Obese BMI to normal BMI. I do log my food and eat regularly, I just eat smaller quantities, and do not crave sugars and carbs. |
