Mounjaro/Ozempic/Wegovy Thread

I took Ozempic for about a month ,and it was a horrible experience for me. I could literally look at food and get nauseated to no end. I could only eat a few bites a day and had to force myself to eat anything without my sugar bottoming out due to feeling too nauseous to eat anything. It felt like I had a gastric bypass,and was on portion control. Never could get over the side effects so I had to call it quits. Yeah,I lost some weight,but anyone will lose weight if you don't eat anything and feel sick when you try to eat.

I hope that yours works out for you ..

Exactly my experience. I felt terrible all the time. I took it for a month ($250/mth) and was about to increase dosage. I started reading and watching videos about the long term effects (stomach paralysis?!) and I decided to get off it.

As there have been a few dismissive cracks here about fat people, I thought I would post this. Weight is way more than calories in/ calories out.

Some people are just born with a tendency to put on weight. And when they're mocked despite all their efforts, it's not good.

If the article is behind a paywall, please let me know, and I'll see if I can spring it.

If childhood obesity is an ‘epidemic,’ how far should doctors go to treat it?

Yes, I see it regularly. Obviously, diet and exercise are key and work for most when taken seriously, but there are some people with just crappy genes. I haven't had a kid undergo surgery yet, but I am considering offering medication if I get to the point that I am satisfied with safety studies.

Certainly wasn't my intention to make a joke about someone's weight. The post I responded to, and my post were moved from another thread. If I offended anyone, I apologize. Christmas tree cakes are out though, they're my favorite.
