Ozempic nerves. I first time user.

[LittleDitto]

I’ve researched for ages before taking the plunge and ordering my first dose which I did yesterday.

however I’m still a bit nervous about it. I know some get side effects while others don’t and some have more success than others.

Has anyone else been nervous about starting Ozempic?

I have around 3 1/2 stone to lose so I know my own pace will work out slowly with the assumption the less you have to lose the slower the loss. So I’m not fooling myself into thinking that it’s going to be a miraculous overnight success!

How have people managed the malodorous burps too? I’m scared that this will be embarrassing in the work place!

I did my first injection this morning. I was a bag of nerves before I did it but it ended up easier than I was expecting. No side effects yet but then I only did it an hour ago 😂. I have a lot more to lose than you @LittleDitto probably nearer 10 stone. I am feeling positive though and have rid myself of unhealthy snacks and stocked up with fruit, veg and protein.

I’m glad you found it easier than you thought. I think the fear of the unknown can be a bit overwhelming. I hope you keep free of the side effects!
