I don’t know about THIS on in particular, but when I was in the hospital back in 2020 for my quad by-pass, I lost nearly 30 pounds in a month just because they gave me insulin injections that I had never had before in my life, because they said my blood sugar was a bit too high.

Also, the food sucked....................

I’ve been on Ozempic for my Type II diabetes for a couple years now. It didn’t really make a difference with weight loss for me.

Then, after an auto accident which messed up my back, my pain management doctor told me if I lost the weight (I was over 300), I could avoid surgery. I went on Nutrisystem and over the course of 18 months I lost 100 pounds. And no surgery needed.

So Ozempic? Maybe it helped with my Nutrisystem, I can’t say for sure.

They actually work by treating insulin resistance and probably by a hormonal component that reduces appetite. These are the first drugs that actually work for weight loss. Obviously adding exercise and watching the diet help But we have seen amazing weight loss in people who have not been able to lose before

I am familiar with semaglutide (Ozempic). This drug is truly an appetite suppressant in that it's pretty effortless to lose weight because you're indifferent to food, even when you're hungry. Even foods you love.

Side effects have been mild nausea, mild constipation, and sluggishness, all of which come and go. You have to be diligent about strength training but especially eating enough protein because you will lose muscle mass if you don't get enough protein and when you have no appetite you simply don't eat enough.
