Ozempic question

[missfliss]

Hello -
I know there is a long thread on Ozempic and I've been following quietly.

It's something I might consider in the future - but not now ( training for a big sports event and need to fuel properly).

My question is though - what happens when you stop taking it? Does your appetite return to normal ? Or does taking it for a long period help retrain your food / satiety mechanisms to support willpower / education?

I'm totally open to trying but want to understand that if that kind of investment is needed, what else you might need to do to ensure long term success.

I'm overweight by probably 2 stone, reasonable fit, main problems are sugar and emotional / boredom eating and portion sizes.

Any help or experiences welcome.

( successfully lost weight previously but tend to go back to old overeating again - I have a decent knowledge about what i need to eat / good nutrition but seem to lack the control or consistency to avoid overeating)

I have been reading Ozempic threads with interest and was thinking about trying it. Mentioned it to friend who is lead nurse in diabetes department yesterday and she said she thinks it is a great drug but a shame that the manufacturer can’t get all the ingredients so there is a massive shortage so decided to leave well alone for now.

Finding that delaying breakfast and giving up sugar and gluten is helping a lot with appetite and cravings and hoping that will work.
