I started ozempic a week ago yesterday. A .5 dose once a week. I've been very careful about what I eat. I weigh exactly the same as I weighed a week ago. At times my appetite is down from what it was. Is there a period of time that it takes for ozempic to kick in?
Medications
Ozempic
Ozempic typically takes a few weeks to show noticeable effects, as your body adjusts to the medication. Most people see changes in appetite and weight after 2-4 weeks. Stick to your prescribed dose and consult your prescriber if you have concerns.
One week is really early, I barely saw anything move until week 4 or 5 myself. The appetite part kicking in sporadically is normal too, it came and went for me those first couple months. Hang in there.
I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Finally cracked a plateau I'd been stuck on for a month.
Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me. Smaller portions on shot day kept the GI stuff manageable.
We're all in this together. That update just made my whole day. Such an inspiration honestly.
My first week in ozempic with the 1 ml dose. I definitely don't have much of an appetite. No weight loss yet despite as little as I'm eating. I found out one thing. I usually have a couple of drinks in the evening. Alcohol does not agree with ozempic. I end up with a horrible hangover with just 2 drinks.
Seriously, well done. That's a milestone worth celebrating. Rooting for you.
A week is really early, mine didn't budge until around week 4 and then it started dropping steadily. The reduced appetite alone is a good sign it's doing its thing. Give it a few more weeks before worrying.
What made you decide to try this in the first place? How long did the food noise take to quiet down? What time of day do you usually take your shot?
This is the good stuff right here. Rooting for you. Keep showing up for yourself. Hang in there.
How do you keep muscle while the weight comes off? This is only my personal experience, nothing more.
My clinic checks in before every increase, which I appreciate. The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared.
Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Down 4 lbs this week after a frustrating stretch of nothing. Keep us posted!
Down 15 lbs since my last update, steady as ever. My last check-up came back looking great.
