VA put me on Ozempic 2 months ago. That shit makes you forget that there ever was this thing called “food”. It tickles your ‘satiety’ switch, and you aint hungry for 3 or 4 days. I am manageing T2D under quality Dr. supervision. Theres gonna be some fallout on this. Its just way to easy for the pounds to start falling off. Im not saying it aint good. Im saying it aint right. I have been asking every way I know how and no one will tell me exactly how this stuff works on the back side. There has to be a trade off.
For sure there are negatives for Ozempic, for some people. This info is on the internet. You are one who has no negs with Ozempic.
The way I look at it is if someone just started having these appetite problems and was technically starving almost every day, we would be looking for the underlying cause of their “problem”.
I feel like these drugs are technically a self induced body regulation illness, and we will find over time that their use purely for weight loss is harmful for the body.
The wife has knee pain issues. They want to do replacement surgery. Yet, no proposal to help her lose weight. Is this Ozempic thing an option or not now?
One of the reasons no one can tell you what the back side effects are, is because the Doctors don’t know.
From what I’ve read, Ozempic is only approved for weight loss under specific conditions, the off label uses if given by a doctor are not FDA approved, who knows for sure, just what I’ve read.
It’s interesting that back during Covid any off label treatment for Covid was ridiculed, mocked and in some cases outright banned from use. Does Ivermectin and HCQ ring a bell.
Im saying it aint right. I have been asking every way I know how and no one will tell me exactly how this stuff works on the back side. There has to be a trade off.

The trade off for me is that it works too well. It comes in 3 different dose sizes and I am on the medium sized one, probably switch to the smaller size after my next doc. visit in 2 more days.
I’m not over weight and never have been, I take it for my type two but am losing weight anyway, for the very reasons you stated, appetite loss, close to total. I keep a very close watch on my glucose number with my arm patch and electronic reader and let me tell you a reading in the 40s and 50s is very uncomfortable and it gets that low when I have to force myself to eat when I’m not the slightest bit hungry.
Just checked this minute and it’s at 73 and falling and I’m not the tiniest bit hungry. It might sound like a high class or envious problem to over weight folks but believe me, it’s not.
likely trade off is losing muscle, bone, things other than excess real fat.
I did all the stupid diets in 80s 90s all starve the body one way or other and this drug is doing the same. Creating imbalances and in soon enough time, oh my, now we got all these thinner people suffering new ailments.
the Holy Spirit gives self control as one of the gifts, if any one cares to believe in Jesus and invite in The Spirit.
you can bet they could mass produce a lot more, but then the price would drop.
