Just as it says really- I'm on my 4th week and was wondering if anyone else has taken it as well?

Four days in and goodness I am impressed. Minimal side effects so far apart from maybe sleepiness in the afternoons and a very mild nausea in the mornings early in the week.

I have gradually got myself sorted with healthy food but didn’t have a great start to the week in terms of avoiding sugar etc but must have had less than usual and also ate out last night and definitely had much less than I usually would have.

Amazingly I am already 2kg/4.4lb down in four days. It is obviously very early days but I have high hopes that this is something that will finally help me stick to a healthy eating plan without the constant falling off the wagon and line drawing.

I've been on Ozempic from beginning of Feb. Started at 32 BMI and today, after just over 40lbs loss, I am at 26.1. I've not been at this weight since my teenage years (I'm 51). I want to shed another stone which would put me into normal BMI of 24.

This medication has been a godsend to someone like me who has been obese all my adult life (at my highest weight I almost reached BMI of 40). It has allowed me to follow a healthy diet (higher protein, lower carb, no UPFs) without hunger or cravings for the "wrong" stuff.

This post and subsequent posts about significant weight loss gives me hope, prescription got today, will start next week Smile

@Happierwithouthim we have a more active discussion going on for current Ozempic users if you’d like to join. All are welcome! It’s called “I started Ozempic last night”
