Starting a new thread as we are dangerously close to finishing thread two. So great to have this supportive community to share our experiences of taking Ozempic for weightloss.

"Old-timers" and new starters all welcome!

Thankyou so much for starting this.
I find this thread so helpful and am looking forward to reading how everyone is progressing

So I'm still on my first 0.25 pen...but so far I've got 3 x 0.25 jabs and 2 x 0.5 jabs. There's I reckon a 0.25 jab left in the pen!
Got a new pen waiting for me to start.....
I've stopped weighing myself and am just going by what I can fit into.
Got home last night after 5 days away and my son stared at me open mouthed, and said "good grief mum you've lost so much weight"
People at work also coming up to me and commenting!
It feels damn good if I'm honest!

Thanks!

Thanks for the new thread! Did my second injection on Monday, started at 0.25 and moved up to 0.5. No side effects so far. I’m still getting hungry but when I do eat I get fuller quicker and for longer. 3 stone to hit my goal!

I was sick again this morning - first time for ages. It’s strange how the side effects come and go.

IAmBreathingIn · 16/02/2023 09:53

@SerenadeOfTheSchoolRun Please don't feel bad, I was looking to order from them anyway (due to the price).

@leilani83 I think they simply don't have the stock. Perhaps it was an error with the website that allowed us to order. Very bad customer service though. It could have been dealt with much better as you say. They have just left us in limbo!

Mumonamission123 · 16/02/2023 09:55

Hi all, I'm a little worried as I've lost more weight on the 0.25 then the 0.5. My weight has stayed the same all week. Any advice?

IAmBreathingIn · 16/02/2023 09:55

@Athena51 Many thanks for starting the new thread.

@ladyforallseasons Thanks wonderful, well done. It's really helpful to hear the updates from everyone, it's very encouraging.

orangelotus · 16/02/2023 09:57

could you order from somewhere else and then keep the pen in the fridge when it arrives?
i saw Manual have an offer at the moment.
i was thinking of changing from juniper to them but maybe i'll just suck up the cost as i don't want to interrupt the whole process

Don't despair this happened to me i actually gained 3lbs and was very disappointed but now it's slowly coming off again.
i'm finding staying off biscuits chocolate etc easy and definitely much smaller portions.
My downfall is wine and it hasn't put me off that at all!!
my total loss is 18lbs since December 23th. still have a long way to go 3 stones still to lose

ScrappyMoggy · 16/02/2023 10:04

I’ve not lost anything in a month of being on this and it doesn’t feel like it’s having any effect. No sickness but no appetite suppression either. I’m on 0.5. I feel ver despondent.

MiniCooperLover · 16/02/2023 10:07

ScrappyMoggy, what kind of things are you eating? How much weight do you have to lose? They all affect it. If you were to make the same size meal as usual but just eat half of it, would you miss the other half or just think 'oh I'm ok'. Sometimes our appetite is surpressed but because we have some appetite it's not as obvious?

I definitely thinking is worth trying the 1 mg before giving up.

tregunamekoidestrecorumsatisdee · 16/02/2023 10:39

Half way through week two on 0.25 and I still have the appetite suppression but am starting to randomly crave sweet things again for the first time. I'm interested to see if this will go again after the 3rd jab. No side effects since being sick the morning after the second jab at least.

leilani83 · 16/02/2023 10:45

Just received an update from UK Meds:

"Hello, Your order was cancelled and refunded, due to stock issues. Please note your refund can take up to 3-5 working days."

SerenadeOfTheSchoolRun · 16/02/2023 10:45

Update from UK meds - order cancelled and refunded due to Stock issues. At least we have an answer now. Not sure if I will try them again even with their prices and my discount code….. I am sure I could be tempted as it is so much lower. Will see how quickly the refund is processed.

Dogsarebetterthanhumans · 16/02/2023 11:17

I honestly wouldn’t worry yourself over this. Worry will just up your cortisol level in your brain which will work against weight loss.

In my experience, weight loss isn’t all that dose-related. I lost more on 0.25 than on 1mg. Xx

Im still on 0.25 ( just had injection 4) but my weight has also plateaued after losing weight quickly the first couple of weeks. I think it must be normal because I know I’m eating less and more healthily than I used to.
I think we just have to keep the faith that weight loss doesn’t always happen in a linear fashion but in stops and starts.

IAmBreathingIn · 16/02/2023 12:48

I have now received the cancellation notice too. I'm so thankful I ordered early and still have some left in my pen. This episode could have messed up everything!

IAmBreathingIn · 16/02/2023 12:57

@ScrappyMoggy I agree with the others, give it a bit longer. I had a very slow start too but things improved with time. I would also advise not to focus solely on weight (as many things affect this). I found that I was losing inches although the scales were not moving much. Today is the start of my sixth week and now both scales and tape measure are heading downwards! Good luck, it will all work out ☺️

Twwodoorsaway · 16/02/2023 13:44

Bookmarking here for the new thread. Thanks @Athena51 for starting it 😊

polopolopolopoo · 16/02/2023 14:07

@Twiglets1 I'm in the same boat, great loss weeks one and two but have put on .5kg 3rd week and now plateauing in 4th week. It's disappointing but I'm just hoping I start to lose again. I'm only on 1000 calories a day with no sugar or carbs so I'm not sure why I'm not losing loads

Oigetoffmylawn · 16/02/2023 14:14

I'm really glad I've not yet been sick on this medication.

It's injection day tomorrow, and I can definitely feel things have worn off today!
