Subcutaneous vs IM injection — real differences?

Before and after labs from today: Total cholesterol down 38 points. LDL down 22. Triglycerides down 94. A1C: 6.1 → 5.5. Blood pressure: was 138/88, now 118/76. This is after 7 months and 55 lbs lost. I started on Ozempic for T2D and it's turned into so much more.

Honestly, Don't give up, it's worth it. The mental side is harder than people admit. Hang in there.

Just hit 3 months and still amazed at how different my relationship with food is.

I keep a protein shake on my desk for days when nothing sounds good. It helps.

The tiredness in week 2 is very real. Be patient with yourself.

Same experience here. The food noise reduction was the most unexpected thing for me.

This is the thread I needed today. Thank you for sharing this honestly.

Solidarity from someone who's been through the exact same thing. You've got this.

Just wanted to say, Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

Honestly, Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Hang in there.

Following along, The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Same here, Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Adding my two cents: Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. My doctor had me hold steady until side effects settled. Onward!

How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Thanks for sharing this.

Adding my two cents: Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Onward!

Following along, Has your sleep changed at all since starting. This is huge. Everyone's different of course.

Same here, Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. Rooting for you.

Late to this but What's your current titration schedule looking like. Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. This community is the best. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. What's your current titration schedule looking like.
