[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im on ozempic and have never felt nauseous. I bet if I over ate I would though!

I just don’t crave junk food and don’t obsess over food. This seems to act more like how a mental health drug would act in my brain that anything else. It DEFINITELY shuts down obsessive food thoughts. My family is sad though. I no longer bake and I no longer make elaborate meals. I used to con like a fine dining chef and our spreads would be pretty impressive. Now I’m like, sorry… grilled chicken, broccoli and if you all want a starch I have some cheickpea salad in the fridge. I’ve cut out all junky carbs and all sauce filled complicated fatty meals.  I simply don’t care to spend the effort making them nor do I crave them.

Will I need to be on this for life? Maybe if I can’t control my calories. I’ve gained and lost the same 50lbs for a decade and a half now. Ozempic is no different that calorie restriction. I’d you don’t do it you gain.

Not sure why people who don’t take ozempic are wagging their fingers that it’s not a permanent solution. No diet is a perm any solution unless you keep the calories in check.

I’m currently losing weight so obviously there will come a time that I need to up my calories to stay stable. I hope whatever that number is for my is sustainable. [/quote]

Agree with all this. I lost 30 lbs about a decade ago, and put most of it back on, much of that during the pandemic. I am on Ozempic now and re losing some of that weight. It is much easier to lose but I don't doubt I will gain some back when I stop taking it. And that's okay - I will still be at a much healthier weight and hopefully have reduced A1c levels. Also post menopause there is no way I would be able to lose the weight without ozempic - believe me I tried.[/quote]

As a menopausal woman ozempic is making me realize what level of extreme calorie restriction is needed for me to lose weight. Thank you GOD for whiemver created this drug because not a chance in hell I could do on my own what it takes to lose this weight. With a lot of HIIT and 10k steps a day I lose at around 1400 cal a day and that’s 1lb a week. Working out this much plus walking nearly everywhere on 1400cal I’d be absolutely starving. But I’m clearly not because I’m only losing a pound a week. My body just tells me I’m hungry as hell. [/quote]
