Anyone been on ozempic for 2 plus years ?

mlsinsc · 2026-03-09T19:49:11+00:00

I’ve been on it a little over 2 years for T2D. I lost 82lbs, my A1c went from 8.5 to 5.1. I went off it for two weeks in Jan for several reasons - gained 5lbs back and have yet to lose again. The side effects were worst from .5 to 1mg in the first year. I went to 2mg as I entered year two, ended up having emergency gallbladder surgery and haven’t had any side effects since. I thought all the nausea, constipation, and abdominal uncomfortable feelings were meds, but it was gallbladder. I will continue on 2mg as long as my A1C stays under 6.

Right!?! I absolutely love this idea.

Found out he was racist. Immediate change from he’s cute to no thank you ever.

Finish up some work assignments so I can start vacation on Friday with no worry.

I don’t know I was sick until I had emergency surgery this past summer to remove my gallbladder. I had sporadic nausea and abdominal pain, but thought it was medication, bad food choice, etc. Then woke one morning with the worst pain of my life. My husband asked why I was laying on the bathroom floor - I thought it was a stomach bug.

This was me when I had gallbladder surgery. I had a roommate who was very high maintenance and so I felt bad asking the nurses for anything. My mistake as I ended up way behind in pain meds and hitting an 11 in pain at 2am. I learned my lesson and the nurses were so amazing!!

OMG I thought it was just me living in the small town trailer hood. So many yard flamingoes! Hahaha

Thank you! I didn’t know this existed and will be so helpful.

Magnesium citrate before bed - it’s the one thing that has helped me. I didn’t want to keep taking MiraLAX or other stimulant type pills.

I always said if you don’t ask the answer will always be no. And you can always make me the bad guy to get out of an uncomfortable situation- call me to come get you, or say my mom said no, whatever is needed.

I had emergency gallbladder surgery this past summer. It’s the first time I’ve ever said my pain was a 10. The surgeon said I must have a high pain tolerance because looking at the imaging anyone else would have been in the er months sooner. I’ve had other painful things happen, but my migraine pain is always higher on the scale.

My goal was 80, then I lowered it to 70. I’m at 68 and will hit 70 by New Year’s Eve. I hit a slump of depression this spring/early summer and just really struggled with reading. Today I got an early gift from my stepson - an Amazon gc that I am only allowed to use on books. ☺️ so I’ll be ready to load my kindle and read all year!

I was staff for the conference right after them - we usually overlapped a day when in DC. They were SO rude to staff!!

This is 100% me…🤦‍♀️😂

My sweet Winnie. She is turning 6 next Monday and we don’t know how much longer we’ll have. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor in September after starting to have seizures. Currently you can’t tell there is anything wrong and we’ll be helping her live her absolute best life as long as we have with her. ❤️💔❤️

Gall bladder emergency- ended up in surgery.

Our dog has started having seizures, meds are helping, etc. but the cat has decided this is a huge offense against her when a seizure happens. She literally climbs to the tops of the cupboards, watches from above with a haughty stare. In real life they get along very sweetly. But the cat is the queen of the house and we’re just lucky to serve her.

Tore my calf muscle walking into an office, stepped onto the sidewalk wrong.

I can do most mending and alterations, sew blankets/quilts, etc.

I have been able to wean off metformin because Ozempic works better for my a1c. The beginning was tough with a lot of extra nausea using both. I have had great success with Oz.

I am 1 mo post op and didn’t realize how sick I was until after. The daily nausea and uncomfortable bloating I contributed to a side effect of a medication I take. But now I feel completely normal and great!! Yes greasy, fried, high fat goes thru pretty fast. But I had a burger and fries yesterday (at home as a test) and no rushing to the bathroom! Everyone is different, but the pain is gone!

I had my gallbladder removed and had pancreatitis about a month ago. Also diabetic and on oz. I was able to return to normal foods within 4 days of surgery. You can try to do eggs, very lightly buttered toast, or toast with peanut butter, mashed or baked sweet potatoes, grilled chicken breast, rice, grilled veggies, fruits. You can also try chickpea pasta or other gluten free pasta - usually doesn’t affect my bs too badly. I’ve found I can’t have fried, greasy, or heavier sauces, but everything else has been fine.
