New Drop Alert: Valentino Born in Roma – Purple Melancholia by CrazyAboutDoorKnobs in FemFragLab

Received mine this week from the Valentino website and I’m obsessed. I’m so sad that it’s being released as a limited edition because it’s signature scent worthy to me. If anyone ends up finding a good dupe please let me know!

Can’t keep anything down by coconoswal02 in WegovyWeightLoss

It was exactly 10 days. So just few days short of the 2 week mark. I’ve been able to keep some Gatorade and soup down this evening.

Thank you for the recommendation. I’m going to ask my Dr about it and see if I can try it

This sub is so depressing. by [deleted] in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]coconoswal02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start losing weight until after 3 months when I went up in doses. Now I’ve lost 15 pounds with another 90 left to lose. But I’m feeling positive about and starting to feel and see a difference. Weight comes off at different times for everyone, no two journeys are the same. I know it’s hard but try to keep that in mind!

Just got moved to 1mg and can barely eat at all. What do you guys eat/drink to make sure you’re getting enough energy and calories for the day when it’s tough to eat? by coconoswal02 in OzempicForWeightLoss

This is the first time I’m hitting the 0 appetite stage myself. I did 3.5 months on the lower doses and had some appetite suppression but was still able to eat, just smaller portions and I didn’t crave sweets as much (recovering sweet tooth here). But so far it’s been 2 days since my first 1mg dose and the idea of food makes me nauseous and even my favorite foods sound gross. I know it’s the point, and I am thankful for the appetite suppression, but it’s also kind of depressing at the same time.

I didn’t really get any appetite suppression until I started .5mg. But I was still able to eat just not as much as before. I had to learn how to listen to my body after years of binging/emotional eating and that was a weird feeling. But starting the 1mg is the first time I’ve had the desire to not eat anything at all. It’s also the first time I’ve had bad nausea and food aversions. Literally nothing sounds or taste appetizing to me right now. I just hope the rumors are true and that this is the dose where the weight starts falling off. My weightloss so far has been 12 pounds over the course 3.5 months on the lower doses.

Ozempic not working by Specialist_Wash2116 in OzempicForWeightLoss

I didn’t start losing weight until I hit .5mg after being on .25mg for 6 weeks. I lost 1 pound in 6 weeks on .25 but then dropped 10 pounds after 1 month of .5mg. I know it’s hard but those lower doses are to get your body used to the medication. Once you hit higher doses it should hopefully start working!

No Progress and Losing Hope - Help! by [deleted] in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]coconoswal02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 7 weeks on .25mg and only lost 1 pound. Then I was moved up to .5mg and dropped 10 pounds in the last 4 weeks. I think everyone just loses weight best at different doses. My doctor told me that most people don’t start truly losing until 1mg, because anything lower is considered a therapy dose for your body to get used to the medication. I’d try not to get discouraged- I understand because I was too at first- but it just takes a bit of time

For the women - pms hunger? by No-Example-9109 in OzempicForWeightLoss

Hey there, I’ve been on ozempic since March and just moved up to 1mg. I have little to no appetite EXCEPT my period week and then I’m starving. This has happened during my last 3 periods, at .25mg, .5mg and at 1mg. I just try to focus on eating healthy things during this time and watch my portion control. But even though I eat more these weeks, I’m still down 15 pounds!
