[quote=Anonymous][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.

I feel exactly the same way! I used to eat a pint of ice cream almost every night or some other snack, and a lot of junk during the day. I was obsessed with food, even though I hated what it was doing to my body. I no longer have those cravings! The first few nights it was weird not eating after 8, but I'm getting used to a new normal. I haven't eaten a piece of Halloween candy! If you knew me, you would know that's a big deal.

People who don't feel this way don't understand how hard it is to fight your brain and stomach when they're working against you. Semaglutide removes those cravings and obsessions. I'm able to stick to my recommended diet of high protein and vegetables and low carbs. I NEVER could stick to a diet before. I would happily take this medicine for life just to control my weight.
