I've only been able to eat a small piece of chicken and small piece of turkey.

Is this normal?


This is similar to my experience. I don’t really feel different when I’m drinking but if I have more than 1 or 2 drinks I’m in for a miserable night.

Ozempic has affected even my coffee drinking. I think maybe it just reduces your need for all kinds of stimulants. I have no desire to drink, no desire for sweets, no desire for coffee, and I have finally begun to stop biting my nails. Miracle drug indeed.

Ozempic totally does that though: It makes you stop eating. I am a major emotional eater, absolutely cannot "make myself stop eating" when stressed out. With Ozempic? It was like my brain was swapped with the brain of a thin person with no cravings and impulses. It is part of why it works so well.

Umm, yes it does. Go review the studies or message boards where people all discuss this happening. You are uninformed


It’s important, even if you’re taking ozempic or other weight loss meds, to remember you’re still responsible for what you eat and drink.

I have had zero nausea and have lost 24 pounds in 14 weeks.

It might. Many are reporting lack of interest in things they were problematically dependent on. A couple of days into Wegovy I forgot my morning coffee and haven’t had it since. But I wouldn’t count on Wegovy to fix it if you have a problem.

No, but it has reduced my food appetite.
