[quote=Anonymous]I'm on week 6 of the calibrate program: 4 weeks of .25 and last week was my first dose of .5 ozempic.

I have a lot to lose (starting weight 250) but so far I've lost 21 pounds.

I was really worried about the side effects but haven't had anything major. There was one night early on ,I think the 2nd week, where I had coffee in the afternoon and got the most upsetting burps/bubbling stomach hours later. I really thought I would throw up but didn't. Since then I've avoided anything like coffee on an empty stomach and haven't had anything like that happen again.

I know it's early but this drug is a miracle for me. I don't obsess about food like I used to (I used to be thinking of what I'd eat for dinner while eating lunch). It's upsetting to think about how much mental energy I used to expend, obsessing about food and trying to control myself around it.

I like the calibrate program. It's moving slowly at the beginning, focusing on hydration for the first month, sleep the second. I like my coach,I meet with her for 15 minutes every other week which is just the right amount of personal input I want. I tried doing noom briefly and really couldn't stand all the messages from the coaches.

I'm really amazed at ozempic though. It's like I've had a brain transplant. No more snacking at night, etc. I just don't think about food,and when I do get hungry I don't have these uncontrollable cravings any more and can make good food choices. Is this what normal people feel like?  I'm hoping this year 'metabolic reset' will help because I really think there was something haywire with the way I obsessed about food. I'm sure it's a combo of mental and physical things at play, but if I have to take this the rest of my life I will, it's been really positive for me and the first time I feel hopeful about things.
