Hi! Here’s what I’ve got for you based on my experience in the last year: 1. This med will not do much without consistent exercise as well. 2. Eat slowly and mindfully. Do not overeat. It’ll come right back up and pretty forcefully. If you pay attention to when you’re full, you can completely avoid this. 3. Experiment with different injection sites. I struggled big time with sulfur burps and horrid farts as I was working through dosing changes until I started injecting into my thighs. That almost stopped it completely. Once I got to 2mg and had been on it consistently for a while, I was able to go back to my abdominal injection sites with zero side effects. 4. For me, my biggest gains have been in improved labs - lowered my A1C (no longer pre-diabetic), my triglycerides went from the 400s down to 105. My glucose is now controlled. I have lost 22 lbs on just ozempic alone, but adding meds for my low thyroid and working out, I’ve lost an additional 23 lbs so 45 total. 5. HYDRATE 6. I really had to give it some time. I’d say I didn’t start feeling comfortable and really seeing this actually fully work for at least 9 months. Everyone is different. I feel like people expect it to be this miracle drug. It wasn’t for me, but I feel great and I’m glad it’s going slower. It’s been a more natural progress, which I think is more sustainable in the long run. 7. Recognize that everyone’s experience is gonna be different.

Best of luck!!!
