GERD getting worse on semaglutide — anyone else?

Switching from Ozempic to Wegovy was honestly anticlimactic — same molecule, different pen and indication. The autoinjector is nicer. Cost was about the same after the coupon. What I wasn't expecting was how much better I felt mentally just having a 'weight management' medication vs a 'diabetes' medication. Weird psychological shift but real.

Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Just hit my first 20 lbs and I can't believe it. Hang in there.

Late to this but This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Rooting for you.

Adding my two cents: This made my day to read. Thanks for sharing this.

Same here, A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Hang in there.

Adding my two cents: Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. I keep a food + weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Hang in there. Everyone's different of course.

Honestly, Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. You've got this. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Following along, Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Hang in there.

Same here — Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. This community is the best.

For what it's worth, Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Onward! Everyone's different of course.

Honestly, I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. You're doing amazing. Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Just wanted to say, Cheering you on from here. My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. Hang in there.

Late to this but You should be really proud. How long did the food noise take to quiet down.

Following along — Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Been there — it does get easier I promise.

Same here — Hit goal weight this morning, still in shock. Rooting for you.

You should be really proud. How are you finding the higher dose so far. Everyone's different of course.

Reading this and Did you split your dose or take it all at once. Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. Onward! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Following along, This is huge. How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Onward!

Same here, Sending good vibes your way. My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. Everyone's different of course.

Totally agree. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. So glad I'm not alone in this.
