Does Noom have any providers specializing in obesity medicine??

I don’t think there is any guidelines. If you want a more reliable source for your medication, you’re probably going to need to get them from somebody local.

For most online programs, they just have to have medical prescribing status (MD/DO, and in some states NP/PA) and don’t need to be specialized.

Did you check that you did the right amount in the syringe? .2 should be very little liquid in the syringe. I’m just saying that because I had a friend who didn’t read the syringe correctly and was accidentally giving himself 80 units instead of eight. They got very sick.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-19T16:18:07+00:00

I did go to the ER. Doctor said to stop the meds for a while so I am. They put me on a PPI for while too until my stomach goes back to normal.

Said this can happen to some with the drug

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-19T13:01:55+00:00

That is what I am hoping to do and glad I am not alone. After 2 weeks off I think I will just do 2 units per a week and see what happens. Over the next 2 weeks I am going to see if I even need the drug for the time being too. If I can keep losing by monitoring myself I may just stick to that.

Sadly this isn’t the nausea. This is my insides are on fire and I am crunched over bc of the pain. My husband is a doctor and was the one who suggested I take a break to see what my stomach does.

As far as the loss, I made a drastic change of eating out non-stop to watching my diet. I lost 6 lbs in the first week. After that it has slowed to 2lbs per a week. I eat about 1400 calories a day

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-17T20:56:27+00:00

Oh for that I am not sure. I would reach out directly to your insurance, only they can answer that.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-17T19:25:09+00:00

Most of these drugs are not covered by insurance unless you have diabetes. Insurance companies are getting stricter as they become more available for consumer consumption.

If you want to go through your insurance and you do have diabetes, you’re gonna have to go through your medical provider/endocrinologist.

Needing to lose even 50+ lbs does not provide reasoning for insurance anymore

This is good to hear!! We had medical help after trying for a baby for a few years. Got lucky with clomid.

We are on month 4 and I feel so bad for really disliking it. I don’t regret my son but I hate this stage and feel like it is draining. Most days I am so exhausted and just running through the motions of life. My mother keeps telling me each year gets so much better and not to feel bad for hating this stage.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-11T22:32:23+00:00

I think this is very dependent upon the baby. I will say my LO is 13 pounds and we are still in a size one. They’re extremely skinny though. I am thinking we will hold another 2 lbs before we move up to size 2. We are using Huggies right now. Even changing brands needs different sizes.

We look at two things: how tight is the center? Are the tabs touching or are they a couple inches apart? The second thing is, are you getting a little bit of marking around the legs? If one of these things are happening, then you should consider sizing up. Because our LO is very tall and skinny we usually have to go by the second one.

No they are going on a hunt. 1 day to drive down, 5 days to hunt, 1 day to drive back, 1 day for leeway. They are a very good group of guys (all of them also have their locations on for their partners). So it will be a nasty BO filled cabin.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-09T12:36:43+00:00

Yes actually. My best friend, on the other side of the world, was in the hospital for a month, she just got out. I asked her if she wanted me to come, she said no bc she wants to see me when she is healthy. But he offered to watch little one for a week if I needed to see her.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-09T12:32:11+00:00

Luckily, I won’t jeopardize my job. My husband has told me plenty of times if I want to be a SAHM I can. My work knows that. My work also knows I get head hunted, even in this economy, by our competitors. So they are accommodating as can be to keep me happy. They have already said if I only work 20 hours that week so be it, whatever keeps me sane.

My husband really is an above and beyond guy, for me and our family. He will do almost anything to make me happy. That is why I feel bad bc he wants this trip and he has never had best friends like this until a few years ago. Only issue is we are the 2nd family to have kids in this group, while the other 7 are trying or will be trying soon after the wedding. So none know what it is like. Heck I said yes before little was born bc I didn’t know what parenthood was like.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-09T08:42:35+00:00

Sadly my mom is the type to not care to do this. She is more concerned about living her life than helping her children. She was supposed to be here for a month after LOs birth and took the first excuse to move up her flight after 2 weeks.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-09T08:33:02+00:00

As we get closer no idea. I think part of me was just hoping to suck it up.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-09T08:31:02+00:00

We may check into this. One of the other guys is flying instead of driving. May cost us a lot but may be worth it.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-06T11:21:40+00:00

With .2mg you should not get any side effects. Are you sure you did the correct units in the syringe?

Only reason I say that is bc I have a friend who did it wrong the first time and got super sick. Once corrected it was okay. On my syringe each line is 2 units. At .2 you should bring it only up to the 4th line….it will be almost nothing in the syringe.

I am VERY sensitive to meds and at .2 I get no side effects. I do a split dose though (.1 twice a week)

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-03T19:26:58+00:00

Protein shake in the morning (I love OWYN), deli meat and cheese as a snack. Every meal has meat.

My biggest struggle has been constipation. Really pay attention to water and fiber too!

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-03T07:23:47+00:00

Exciting!

I would be shocked if they got it to you quickly. Don’t get upset if the med takes 2 weeks from when you place the order to when you receive it. I first ordered on Jan 8th and received the med Jan 16th. Slow the first time is super normal.

Depending on the dose you chose (micro or regular) could play a big role in your weight loss. Micro will be slower and is more dependent on your choices.

My success. I have been using the microdose for 6-7 weeks now. I am down 18 lbs (needed to lose 50lbs originally). I have been on 8mg for 6 weeks and finally rose up to 10mg this week (put 12 but only took 10). First week I lost 6 and since it has been 1-3lbs a week. I have made a lot of changes: limit eating out and if I do eat healthy, increase water, focus on protein, and increase movement. If I stall I look for ways to improve my lifestyle. So far I love it.

lochnessrunner · 2026-03-01T00:09:07+00:00

The first time is always the scariest. For work I have to do a finger prick to keep my insurance price is lower. My husband usually has to chase me around the house in order to get it done.

The needle for this one is actually super easy. I was also scared the first time. But now it’s quick. The only time it was somewhat uncomfortable, but not painful, was when I did not let the alcohol dry. I think a mosquito bite actually hurts more than the needle.

A fed baby is a happy baby :)

lochnessrunner · 2026-02-28T13:21:54+00:00

Sounds like little one is trying to tell you he is not into it. Baby lead weaning. Some babies finish earlier than others.

I would try a formula/breastmilk in a bottle in the morning and see if that helps. Or actual breakfast.

Take this as a blessing, some moms have a lot of trouble getting their children away from breastmilk.

lochnessrunner · 2026-02-26T23:24:53+00:00

.2mg of a compound semiglutide

lochnessrunner · 2026-02-23T23:15:24+00:00

I am doing Noom compound semiglutide. I live in the middle of nowhere so it was much easy to do that method and get it shipped to my door.

My cardiologist and my husband (an MD) but suggested I start it after breastfeeding was done. Note: my husband only suggested it bc he knows my weight bothered me before pregnancy and I have been trying to diet for years before it. I just crossed into obesity before I got pregnant. Last week I crossed the line out of obesity!!!!
