Quick check-in before todays shot. How's everyone on semaglutide doing this week?
Quick Ozempic question before my shot tonight
Down 32 myself, so we're on a similar track. Still get a little burpy the day after my shot but nothing water and smaller portions can't handle. How's your appetite been this week?
Down 38 myself since starting last spring, and week 1 was the worst for me too by a mile. Now the appetite quieting is the only thing I really notice shot to shot. Congrats on the 20, that first milestone hits different.
Down 58 on tirzepatide over here, and day-after burps were my thing too early on. Once I stopped treating dinner like a deadline and just ate slower, that cleared up for me. Nice work hitting 20 so fast.
Burps were rough for me on Saxenda too until I slowed way down at dinner, so that tracks. Down 5 since starting and it feels slow next to you sema/tirz folks, but hey, it's moving. Congrats on the 20, that pace is wild to me.
Congrats on goal, that's the finish line most of us are still staring at from a distance. Only 6 down on my end so far but the food noise fading has already made it worth it. Eat slow like the others said, saves you from the burp roulette.
The burps were my first month struggle too, and slowing down at meals genuinely fixed it for me. Down about 3 myself and honestly the quieted food noise is already worth it, so don't sweat the pace.
My first month was all burps too, and eating slower plus smaller portions made a bigger difference than anything else I tried. The food noise fading kicked in for me around week 3, so if yours is already quieting that early you're ahead of where I was. Slow loss still counts, all three of you are moving in the right direction.
What made you decide to try this in the first place? Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose? Your mileage may vary though.
How are you managing cravings around holidays and events? What's helped you most with cravings at night? Update us when you can.
Night cravings are brutal here in Birmingham too, especially with all the holiday food around. What helped me on 15 was keeping dinner later and having a cup of tea after, plus getting out for a walk after eating. Down about 6 lbs myself, slow but it adds up.
Down 38 lbs here and the evening munchies still show up sometimes, but a walk after dinner plus something warm to sip keeps me out of the pantry most nights. Slow weeks used to frustrate me too, but the trend line is what matters. Check back in after your shot and let us know how the week goes.
Evening munchies hit me too even after 47 lbs gone, but the after-dinner walk trick is what finally stuck for me. Slow weeks used to drive me nuts until I started only weighing on Sundays. Good luck with tonight's shot.
Down around 35 myself and the Sunday weigh-in only was the game changer for me too, those midweek stalls used to mess with my head. Post-dinner walk works here as well, though mine's more of a slow stroll. Hope tonight's shot goes easy on you.
