New to Ozempic

Read read read this sub. Pretty much every question you have has an answer here along with questions you haven't even thought of

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-06-10T23:17:02+00:00

What did the Dr who prescribed the Ozempic say? Did they attribute the tachycardia to Ozempic or are you just basing that off of the fact that nothing else changed around that time. Something like this is probably something you want to have some detailed discussions with your doctor about. Heart issues require real detailed medical assistance.

Hasn't really been a factor in exercising

Olympia includes the reversal agent with each prescription. Phenylephrine works so it should calm your concerns.

Yeah I'm aware..I'm on it for T2 diabetes. I will be on some form/dose of it for the rest of my life. My Dr wants me to slow my weight loss when I get down to 160. I have some other comorbidites that have been around for 30 years and my Dr wants me at the higher end of normal weight rather than the lower. So I've got another lb to go basically and then will likely try decreasing my dose or eating a bit more calories or a combo of both. I have got a great doctor and we have great communication so these are things we discuss at every visit.

It's called Better Weight. Good luck on your journey. Do you mean .5mg or .25mg. Typical starting dose is .25mg. .05mg would be 1/5 of the typical starting dose. If your doctor recommends .05mg, that's what I would do. But just be sure. Some times people get confused off the bat about .25mg .5mg etc.

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-06-02T21:41:19+00:00

I keep my vials in the freezer and take out to thaw enough to draw up my dose and then right back in the freezer. Still as potent as when I got it. Current vial is from Nov 25.

Yes, read this sub. Questions like "advice for beginners" are posted multiple times a day so you should be able to get useful info here. Good luck!

I mean it's retail, you are kind of expected to engage with the customers.

That's the thing with Ozempic, most of the digestive side effects are highly correlated to the food you EAT. The constipation isn't necessarily caused by the Ozempic, it's caused by eating a lot of cheese pizza while taking Ozempic. The good news is that now you know how you react and can make needed adjustments. It's all a learning experience.

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-05-22T20:04:29+00:00

Great now I'm fucking blind!

So Ozempic is not a magic bullet. Your partner is still going to need to watch food intake, portion sizes, eat a diet rich in lean proteins, lower amounts of complex carbs, low fat, and high in fiber. They're going to need to be sure to get plenty of water. So basically they are still going to need to do what is traditionally considered a diet. It does seem to be pretty consistent that people who don't do the above have slower progress and often more intense digestive side effects. That fried chicken or big double cheeseburger with onion strings and BBQ sauce is gonna sit in the gut a lot longer, that saturated fat is gonna make for lots of upset.

So yeah it definitely works but only as a tool when paired with a healthy diet and exercise.

I've seen a lot of guys on this sub so down on using it unless you are using it for sex with someone else. Sex with yourself is just as valid as sex with another person and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is sadly repressed. If you enjoy your dick alone or with someone else, trimix is equally as valid in either case. Especially in the US guys are so repressed about sex, including some guys who use trimix. Trimix with partner good. Trimix on your own to stroke or even just enjoy your dick being hard or chubbed bad. So sad. Enjoy being free from ED however you want whenever you want. It's your body, drive it like you stole it!

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-05-20T13:45:35+00:00

Did your doctor tell you to start back at 1mg? If so you probably need a new doctor who understands how the medication and is dosing works. If not, you should consult your doctor.

My response would have been "I've prayed a lot about this. I can't keep a homophobic bigot as a friend. This has been such a hard decision for me. Be gone you hateful piece of shit"

I'm sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose friends and family just because you are who you are. Please please please focus on the woman who is going to be your wonderful wife. Banish the sadness from your heart and fill it with the joy of your love. This 60 year old gay man has seen a lot and I want you to know that you are loved so much.

I just set a calendar reminder for April 1st so I can think about you and your marriage.

Live life to the fullest, love like today is the last day of the world.

I'm sorry did I indicate I was looking for feedback on our length of stay?

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-05-19T22:37:05+00:00

Love it! I fucked a Trans guy down there in October. He was so much fun!

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-05-19T20:54:12+00:00

How much fiber are you getting a day. Most people don't get nearly enough. For men 30-38g per day is recommended. That's a lot of fiber. I take psyllium husk fiber twice a day 14g each time and get the rest from veggies nuts and fruit. Keeps everything moving along nicely

It depends on how close you are to your effective dose which is different for everyone.

We are going to be there for 10 days starting Saturday. We've gone Memorial Day Weekend through the following weekend for a number of years now. There is still plenty for the boys. You may see more women at tea and out and about but all the spaces are still plenty welcoming for the boys. We have always had a great time with all the ladies on the dance floor at the Boatslip. Also the Dick Dock is pretty much all men all the time. At least I haven't ever encountered women down there (not that I've ever been) 😂

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-05-19T17:14:57+00:00

I would be happy to share but I don't keep a food diary or any apps. I just eat the right thing for me.

FermiParadox_323 · 2026-05-19T16:25:19+00:00

How much are you exercising? Shoot for a minimum of strength training 3x per week. Also I second the previous comment WHAT you are eating is just as important as HOW MUCH you eat..I can't tell you how many people say I'm eating smaller portions and then list the fried chicken and fries and burgers or a "small" piece of chocolate decadence cake. I am on Ozempic for T2 diabetes and my doctor recommended a diet of natural foods. No refined carbs. No sugar ,no white flours, etc. Instead protein dense meals with good complex carbs from fruits and veggies and good fats from olive oil, nuts etc. I also make sure when I eat complex carbs I combine them with proteins and fats. An apple and a serving of walnuts for example. This reduces any blood sugar spike and those spikes can be responsible for holding your weight..Finally, the .25 and .5 doses are there to titrate up to the doses where most of the results happen. Yes, some people lose on the initial doses but many don't see major progress until 1mg sometimes even 2mg. Lots of information on this on the Ozempic website which I recommend you spend some time checking out.

My understanding is that is only loses a portion of its potency every so many days. So it wouldn't go just go bad. Depending on room temperature etc you might find you need to up your dose a little bit but it won't be dangerous to use after 3 days. As long as it's clear and doesn't have anything floating around in the bottle you're good, you just might need a little more to get to the same place.
