[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im on Ozempic and this is truly the first time in my life I havent been controlled by food. I have always thought about food all of the time. What Im eating next, when Im eating. What I can eat to meet whatever calorie goal Im shooting for. I have been binging since elementary school. There was never a feeling of “full”. Diet pills of diff kinds would keep me from eating when I wanted to lose weight, but the obsession w food was always there.

But now, that noise is all gone. I can look at food as more of a bystander vs an addict and make healthy decisions. I can eat a normal amount and get full. I can (for example) eat one piece of candy vs the whole bag.

It is seriously life-changing and I envy those of you have never had a problem with food, and this think fat people just need to have willpower/not eat too much.[/quote]

This is truly amazing. What does Ozempic do exactly? Does it change your brain chemistry? How does it make a person stop thinking about food?[/quote]

It works on hormones that send signals to your brain. It’s amazing.

They call it food noise - for me it was constantly thinking about food: when would I eat next? What should I have for lunch? If I eat this for lunch then I could have that for dinner.

The medicine works on appetite suppression, satiety and delayed emptying. So net net is that you consume less and are no longer constantly thinking about or desiring food.[/quote]
