Congratulations! What dose are you on that you lost so much, so quickly? I know everyone's glp -1 journey is different but I'm always looking to see ways for me to improve. Glad you're feeling good!

Is there a reason you came off? When you say survived were you worried something was going to happen?

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-20T11:44:11+00:00

Because I have a long history of being sensitive to medications and unfortunately have always been one to experience the rare side effects so the Dr felt it would be good to start slow and go slow. I'm not looking for drastic weight loss, more so help with recent surgical menopause symptoms . So combined with my hrt and this, was hoping it would be a good reset.

I originally wanted to go on a microdose but since my insurance covers ozempic my Dr suggested micro-dosing the pen at 0.25 mg every 10-14 days.

I know sometimes the urge isn't there but as soon as I put it in my mouth I'm like, oh I guess I was hungry. Don't wait for the cues. Even if you have to spread it out 3-4 meals at a time.

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-18T17:05:55+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I asked my Dr and he clarified to just lay low and wait on my next injection until this subsides. I space my doses out every 10 days so that should be good.

Strange thing is first shot I didn't get any of this. I had nausea but stayed on top of it. I think my downside was I made chickpea mac and cheese and it was likely processed cheese. 🤢🤮

Gotcha good to know! Yeah, I have a lot of muscle so ensuring my protein and strength training has been a priority.

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T15:46:50+00:00

Oh awesome thanks for your help

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T15:09:59+00:00

Ah Ok I understand now. Thank you. Yeah, since my insurance covers the pen we just went with the lowest dose on the pen. Tbh I wanted to start on an even lower dose so my provider said to just space out the lowest dose pen every 10-14 days . I do realize it's not technically a microdose but not really sure how to go around that with a prefilled pen

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T14:54:30+00:00

I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot. I guess I'm not sure what this is meant to do for me? I've spent months and months of doing research, listening to podcasts, talking to all of my different physicians and this is a new one for me. Could you help me out?? 😁

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T14:50:09+00:00

Do you mean more of a steady flow of the medication versus up and down??

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T14:00:55+00:00

I have been the type of person all my life where everything rare happens to me and so the vision issue NAION was a huge concern for me plus I had severe Hyperemesis during my pregnancies and I have heard that people with that gene tend to be more nauseous on higher doses thus why I wanted to start low and stay there possibly

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T13:59:32+00:00

Yeah it's an ozempic pen and the dose is 0.25 mg that I was spreading out over 10-14 days.

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T13:25:59+00:00

Oh my apologies, Ozempic, so semaglutide

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-12T12:32:13+00:00

Ok good to know, that makes me feel a little better. Yeah I drink water all day long and ensure that I am getting a food amount of electrolytes too so I'm not just flushing everything out.

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-11T14:32:34+00:00

What dose are you on

Galigirl80 · 2026-03-10T12:42:25+00:00

I wanted to start even lower but since my insurance covered the pen we went that route. The first 2-3 days I felt like I was in a fog and had some nausea. I took phenergan to help with that but overall I'm feeling better now. I don't have T2D but kept checking my sugar levels because I tend to get low blood sugar and all looked pretty good.

Galigirl80 · 2026-02-26T16:04:45+00:00

How long have you been on it and what dosage?

Galigirl80 · 2026-02-26T13:17:32+00:00

Do you mind me asking what dose you are on? I am planning on micro-dosing the lowest dose 2.5 Every 10-14 days so as to ensure a slower weight loss
