Ozempic

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?

A week is really early, I didn't notice anything real until my third or fourth shot at that dose. Are you having any side effects yet or just the appetite thing?

I was at.5 for a month before appetite stuff really settled in. A week is nothing yet.

My first couple weeks were the same, appetite came and went and the number didn't budge. It wasn't until around week five that things actually settled into a pattern for me

Did your appetite dip on certain days more than others that first week? Mine was all over the place early on, strong one day and gone the next.

I'm down a good chunk myself and my first two weeks were dead flat, appetite dipping now and then like you described but nothing else. Around week three or four was when my portions actually started shrinking without me forcing it

A week is really early, I didn't notice much at.5 either and it wasn't until a few weeks in that food stopped being on my mind all day

A week is really early, i didn't notice anything til i'd been on it a few weeks

Week one is barely anything, my first couple weeks on trulicity felt like nothing was happening either. Took me closer to a month before my appetite really dropped off

Were you on.25 before this or did you jump straight to.5? I only ask because my first couple weeks at the starting dose felt like nothing at all, appetite barely moved

I stayed flat for the first couple weeks too, then it started moving once the dose went up. My appetite was up and down that whole first stretch, so what you're describing sounds familiar.

Week 4 was when it actually started feeling different for me too, the first few were just appetite noise

My first couple weeks on it felt pretty much the same as before, appetite dips here and there but nothing steady. Took a few dose steps before the full-week effect showed up for me.

honestly, did your appetite stay down all week or was it only certain days? Mine came and went early on, which made the first couple weeks feel like nothing was happening.

My appetite was the only thing that shifted for a while before anything else did. The dose you're on is still early days for most people.

What does your day of eating actually look like right now? I only ask because my first week my appetite dropped but i was still eating the same portions out of habit

I lost a little by the second week but it was mostly from eating less because my appetite dropped, not from the shot itself. The appetite change came first for me too.

I noticed the appetite change before anything else too, and the weight took a few weeks to follow. That early stretch felt like nothing was happening yet.

A week is early, my first month on this stuff was mostly just figuring out the side effects. Are you noticing the appetite dip more on certain days than others?

Mine took closer to three weeks before the appetite change really stuck around all day instead of just a few hours here and there.
