[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Tried ozempic and it was not good for me (major fatigue,[/b] constant nausea even on low dose). I had lost 15lbs by the time I stopped. The past couple months have been extremely stressful for me personally and at work and I ate SO poorly. Got a special scale for black friday and the results are in: I am super fat, my metabolic age is five years over my bio age, high fat percentage. Has anyone been able to turn this sort of bad result around with no weight loss meds? I need to lose a good 30 lbs. It is so discouraging.[/quote]

Yeah, the fatigue is horrible. By far the worst side effect for me, and I have had plenty. I stayed at 0.5 for almost 6 months due to side effects, and finally toward the end of that time the fatigue lifted. Now I've gone up in dose to 1, as I had stopped losing weight (I've lost almost 40 lbs and have about that much to go to reach a normal BMI), and the fatigue is back. It's so bad it's literally hard to do my job and I have almost no energy for anything else. But I have hope, knowing that the fatigue eventually lifted with the last dose.

Unfortunately, I am only hopeful with the Wegovy. My weight gain is medication related; I went on a medication in my mid 30s and over the course of several years gained close to 100 lbs. My BMI was 22 when I started that drug, and I still need to be on it and will be for life. I have lost almost all of it twice on WW. The minute I stopped counting points and restricting heavily the weight came right back. And WW was horrible, I spent years obsessed with points and food -- when I think about what I could have done with all of that time and energy focused on something other than not having that dollop of sour cream or whatever .... Ugh I don't know what to tell you; my metabolism is wrecked and I will need to be on Wegovy for life according to my doctor. So for now, bearing with the side effects is worth it to me. It is awful though. [/quote]
