As many are doing, and I assume many more will in the near future, I would love to try Ozempic or similar for a month or two to lose the pesky post-menopausal 10 lbs. But I am also intrigued by/wondering about what I have heard about how (while on drugs) you lose interest in food/ability to eat much; similar loss of interest in (much) alcohol. Which got me thinking- how does this otherwise affect your daily life/social life? The reason I struggle with the extra ten pounds is because I love food and I love a glass or two of wine or a couple of IPAs (with the food). So many of our (my husband's and my) social plans revolve around meeting up with friends for a drink/dinner; having friends over for a drink/dinner. It is fun! Fun conversation, great food, etc. What happens to your social life/daily life if you lose interest in these things?? (I think a month or so ago, the Atlantic had an article talking about people stopping the drugs before vacation so they could enjoy going out to eat . . . ). Very interested in folks' experience - what do you use to fill the time once no longer interested in food/drink planning meals/thinking about next outing? [/quote]

It won't be great for a quick 10lb. You have to start at .25 for a month, then .50 etc... The therapeutic dose is 2.4.

So the first 2-3 months you're on a very low dose amount and some people don't get appetite suppression at those low levels.

But you really have to go up slowly- the nausea and stomach issues are no joke. You can look at the Wegovy website. It explains the titration schedule and why it's necessary.

That said, I'm using it to lose 20lbs (ish). I didn't lose much at all until month 3 with a higher dose. I've lost about 15 lbs now and am considering a little lower weight goal than planned maybe another 10lb. [/quote]
