[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading some of these posts like the one above feels a little like an ad, and I’m surprised nobody has talked about what it’s like to inject yourself with a needle. Is that hard? For me that would be the biggest turn off of trying this out. [/quote]

I'm a PP on this thread. [b]I have lost 30 pounds since the end of October.[/b] The medication doesn't work for everyone, but when it does, the results can be amazing. There are, however, real side effects--such as constipation and no longer enjoying food and alcohol, in my case. I also have to supplement with vitamin B12 and I suspect I may be iron deficient (checking with PCP on that one). That's what happens when you eat substantially less food.

As for injecting myself, I have no problem. However, I did go through IVF so this is nothing in comparison. [/quote]

PP, what was your original weight before the meds? TIA!

I was 203 pounds before the meds. My goal weight is 140.

To the PP asking about alcohol--my stomach just doesn't have room. The meds give you a full feeling; it's why you eat less. I just can't fill my stomach with liquid anymore, and it's impossible to get that "buzzed" feeling; but it's also hard for me to drink enough water. However, everyone reacts differently. Some people are able to drink as before. some people lose a taste for it, some people get sick, and some people find they get drunk very easily. For me, I get a sick feeling after one or two drinks.

PP, did you see a big difference going from 0.75 to 1 mg? The studies have been done on Wegovy, which is 2.4 mg. Ozempic goes only to 1 mg and I can't afford Wegovy. [/quote]
