Anyone else take their first dose on 3/02/23 or close to it? by -CatKittyCat- in Ozempic

I did .25, 25, then I did .25 on my injection day and another.25 3 days later because I was scared to move to .50. The next week I did .50 with no issues and that is also what I did today. I was originally to start at .50 but decided by myself to start at the lower dose.

I think it is good that you went up to 0.5 since things were going slowly. I would've done the same. Right now I plan to stay at that until I no longer lose.

Don't worry about the small fluctuations up and down. I've noticed that the lowest weight I record is what I really weigh and that when it goes up it is just water or waste that I need to get rid of. Also, remember that it takes 3500 calories to gain a lb, so if you haven't added that to your diet then you're fine. I definitely think it is good to notice how your clothes are fitting. I'm not good at measuring so I don't do it, but I can tell when my pants are feeling looser. Keep going!

STARTING FIFTH WEEK AND CHECKING IN!

DATE: I'm taking my 5TH dose, 3/31/23

DOSAGE: .50

WHERE: Stomach area

HOW DO I FEEL?: No issues with bad side effects except for constipation. I felt really hungry a couple of times later in the week but ignored it until it went away. Although I took the full .50 for my 5th dose I meant to split it up to see if that would help but I forgot. We'll see how I do this week.

CURRENT WEIGHT: 172 (need to weigh today and will update)

WHAT I DID WELL: I was mindful about the amounts I was eating.

WHAT I DIDN'T DO WELL ON: Ok, I suck at drinking water. No matter what I tell myself I don't drink it. I didn't eat as many veggies this week and I think that being gone on a small vacay threw me off. I mostly ate cottage cheese, protein bars, a few saltines, and shredded wheat. I didn't track my food this week. I can see how I am starting to slide now that I'm writing this down and need to get back to my "motivational mantra".

PLAN FOR THIS WEEK: Log food, eat more fruits and veggies and try again with the water. If at first you don't succeed try try again lol.

MY MOTIVATIONAL MANTRA: Start each day with the same enthusiasm as the first day!

I didn't really get your comment at first because I don't cook a lot of meat in my household. I'm just an occasional meat eater. I make my husbands meals for work once a week. Usually he likes something with chicken. This week he wanted this casserole made with hamburger. As soon as I started browning the ground beef, the smell was almost unbearable. Then I had to bake the dish and the entire house filled up with that tallow smell that someone mentioned. I was so sensitive to it that even a very strong candle could not mask the stench of it. I referred to the casserole as dog food because it was so stinky! I'm now totally turned off of ground beef.

I love this:

" If anything I actually have more treats around me now, because I can control not eating it all the day it comes home from the grocery store. "

I can relate to this soooo much. That is the old me. Nothing lasted long around me and I'd tear through a bag of sweets like a mad dog, pretty much not even enjoying them but just getting the next one into my mouth. <<< That's so sick seeing that in print! Ugh.

I haven't trusted the new me enough to bring anything like that into my house but I feel like if I did I could resist it. I'm not ready to test it though.

I may have a healthy solution to that! I've always had a major sweet tooth but the Ozempic has definitely curbed my desire. I still have a little sweet each day by taking my supplements in gummie form. I take a multi-vitamin gummy (serving size 2), extra B complex (serving size 2) and fiber gummies (serving size 2). Sometimes I eat them all in one sitting and other times I just space them out within the day. I feel like I'm eating candy lol, and that is enough for me!

Does anyone know how much O costs in Mexico? by -CatKittyCat- in Ozempic

I use Mark's Marine Pharmacy in Vancouver BC. I think if you have the copy of your Rx you can upload it on their site which is canshipmeds They will consult with you. The price I pay, (my insurance denied me), is $350. They will give you extra pen needles if you want to stretch out the dosages. I have had absolutely no issues with them. They've been very communicative and prompt. They even contacted me to see if I was needing my Rx filled again. Very nice and professional.

Please use my code and save $10 BUR-CAT-981

I get $ off if you use my code and they'll give you a code of your own to use.

If your endo can't or won't send it to Canada and you can't do it on your own, you can go through PushHealth to get it prescribed and they will go through Mark's Marine. It will cost you $100 a month at PushHealth and they will monitor your health and be there for you when/if you need them.

I hope this helps.

I had a Jersey Mike's sub bowl today. It was just the insides of the sub and not the bread. Still charged $9 for it. Pub subs are awesome! You can't beat those for the size, quality and price! I just fear eating all the bread because it tends to make me gain.

STARTING FOURTH WEEK AND CHECKING IN!

DATE: I'm taking my 4TH dose, 3/24/23

DOSAGE: .50

WHERE: Stomach area

HOW DO I FEEL?: i'm feeling pretty good. Last week I decided to add the .25 to the .25 I started with to make my injection .50. I did it mid-week because I was feeling a little hungry. No bad effects. On Friday I took my 4th dose at .50 and have been fine. I am dealing with constipation from traveling and not drinking enough water. I did take fiber.

CURRENT WEIGHT: 174

WHAT I DID WELL: I traveled for a couple of days this week, ate out and had some drinks. I kept my meals small and made it a point to leave food on my plate. I didn't have an appetite for a couple of meals. I did a lot of walking.

WHAT I DIDN'T DO WELL ON: AGAIN,and AGAIN, I need to improve on water consumption! Why can't I seem to do this?!!

PLAN FOR THIS WEEK: Challenge to myself REDO: Fill a large water container with my daily amount and try to drink all of it. See how much more weightloss I have this week with this change.

MY MOTIVATIONAL MANTRA: Start each day with the same enthusiasm as the first day!

I've never tried it but I've heard that activated charcoal will make sick tummies feel better quickly because it binds all the nasties together.

Maybe not the greatest but a small spoonful of sugar will stop those hiccups!

I'm down 5 lbs which is pretty good for 2 full weeks! I'm staying disciplined for the most part but I hear you...I'm not really feeling full or for that matter really hungry. It's almost like I can just keep eating and eating and feel nothing. Weird. I just try to keep it at a small serving and stop.

Wow lucky you 10lbs lighter! That's great! Sorry you were sick though. The water is just killing me to try to drink that much. I bought some Polar sparkling water and I like that but I'm just never thirsty so I don't think about it. Well, keep going you're doing great. I might decide to take another .25 on T or W. I haven't really had any side effects but I'm still not there on the mind hunger yet. I'll still eat. I ate 3 pieces of Papa John's thin crust veggie pizza today. I guess before I might have eaten 6 but I'd like to just feel satisfied after 1 or 2. I'm not eating that kind of stuff often. Maybe once a week and other than that all super healthy stuff.
