    Curious if any drivers are using it and if you are having good results with it? My Dr started me on it 3 weeks ago, I had to quit two other meds first and wait a week before the first injection.

    In the first week, I noticed after a couple days that I was constantly full, and realized that the first 48 hours I'd forced myself to overeat. Emailing with my Dr., he told to just try and cut back on portions, and then if I got hungry to have something to eat. Since I do the injection on Saturdays, I noticed towards the end of the week, my eating habits were trending back towards previous habits. He said that's normal, but after a couple weeks I should start to notice a change over the course of the week.

    My Girlfriend's brother has been on it for a few years.
    He said he had the always full feeling as well. Did lose a bunch of weight without really changing his crappy diet though.

    I have a friend who started that. They are the guinee pig for a few of us.
    Congrats on your quest, you will make it.
    Ok, my friend said he doesn't get hungry. He has to force himself to eat when he gets to freeling shaky and "weird".
    He was the kind of person who was always hungry, and when he for any reason had to skip a meal would get very cranky.
    He is very nice now, like a different person. He hasn't mentioned anything about injections, and says he has no side affects. That was what he said about a month ago and he had been on it for maybe two months. He said he was losing slowly. It has been awhile since we spoke, that is all I know. GOOD LUCK

    You're definitely gonna lose some weight, and fairly quickly. My kids moms are on it and they dropped about 80 lbs a piece over time. I'm thinking they'll gain it back once they get weaned off of it. The doctors really want to jump start better eating habits and neither of my kids moms are interested in a high fiber/protein diet. The foods they consume are still mostly bad foods. I lost 45 lbs in 5 months by adopting a high fiber/protein diet, basically plant based. That will have similar results to the Ozempic, but a little bit more patience is required lol.
     
    The_vett Thanks this.

    I could never be that lucky lol. Some states have an imbalance of women to men or vice versa. I swear Wyoming is that way. Lol
