Genuinely happy for you right now. You're setting a great example for the rest of us. This is exactly the motivation I needed today.
Cold Ozempic vs room temp - does it sting less?
Week 4 felt like nothing was happening for me too, then the appetite quieting snuck up around week 5 or 6. Looking back at 39 lbs gone now, the slow start barely registers. Trust the timeline a bit longer.
Broke a stall that had me second-guessing everything. One year update: down 68 lbs and feeling like myself again. Update us when you can.
Week 4 on mine felt the same way, like nothing was working, then around week 5 the food noise just faded. I'm a year in on Zepbound down 57 lbs and honestly the slow start is a blur now. Give it a couple more weeks before judging.
Four weeks was right where I almost quit too, but the hunger dial finally turned down for me somewhere in weeks 5-6, and now at 62 lbs lighter I barely remember those doubtful early weeks. Give it until week 6 before deciding anything.
Week 4 was exactly when I was about to give up too, then things shifted around week 5 for me. Only down 14 lbs myself but the appetite change finally showing up made all the difference mentally. Hang in there a couple more weeks before drawing conclusions.
You should throw yourself a little celebration. This is huge. Definitely check with your own provider before trying it.
Ask your prescriber about splitting the increase if it feels like too much at once. Talk it through with your doctor, my plan looked nothing like a friend's.
