- Welcome to my diabetes channel! Let's talk about Ozempic, weight loss, side effects and I'll give you a 2 month update.

I'm really excited to share this video because originally I was extremely afraid of taking Ozempic. I'd heard a lot about side effects and didn't think it'd be for me. I've had some really great weight loss with ozempic, and the side effects haven't been too awful.
After 2 months I've had steady weight loss (which has always been hard for me with PCOS, insulin resistance and Type 1.5 diabetes (or LADA) while still taking insulin.
Additionally, my blood sugars have been ridiculously good. Fastings under 100 mg/dL and mealtimes coasting in the 150's.
I talk about some of the side effects (and initially not having them and then suddenly having them badly).
The before and after in the thumbnail is a video I shot in May (at a similar starting weight) on the left, and the "during" photo on the right is of me on the day of uploading this video. I'm wearing the same shirt and glasses for reference.
I'm curious if you've seen similar results with using Ozempic. Do you still keep losing weight beyond the first 2 months?

When I tell you I’m in tears hearing your story and reading these comments. I have PCOS and have struggled with weight loss for years. I hit my rock bottom at 319lbs, I’m 5’1”, and a blood pressure at 186/90. Working in healthcare showed me what happens when a person strokes, has a heart attack, or living long term with diabetes. I’ve been on Ozempic for three weeks and lost 7lbs, but most importantly it’s helping me be mindful of portion sizes of the RIGHT foods. I’m crying because I finally see some light after being in the darkness for so long. Best of luck to you and everyone on their weight loss journey.
Wow well done!! Stick with it and it’ll change your life, it did for me!! xx
how are you doing now ? Doctor is suggesting i take it as well.. PCOS here ..
@@hausinnermagic still going strong. I’m losing weight slowly. More than anything it has been a tool for me to be mindful of my portion sizes.
@@MexyQueen03 congratulations!!! More to come .. i am still doing my research . I didb intermittent fasting for over six months . i easily went up to 20+ hours of fasting. I didn't care to eat which effected my blood sugar levels So i worry that this would happen here. Didn't lose a pound ! Later a dietician told me that women with PCOS and Insulin resistance shouldn't fast more than 15 hours 🤷🏼♀️
my darling i feel for you so much!!! wishing you all the best!!xx
Update: i’m three years into my weight loss journey, almost 2 years on Ozempic. I’ve lost 193 pounds. Yes that is typed out correctly, I’ve reversed my diabetes, corrected my thyroid, and I have resolved my liver problems, I feel a lot better 🤍 I take Ozempic every Friday now as a maintenance medication and it works wonders.
Thank you for the update. I am starting my ozempic journey and it is great to have both sides of the coin shown:)
Congratulations! How did you get over the nausea and other symptoms. I can’t function or sleep on Ozempic because I’m in so much pain or in the bathroom 😪😥🙏🏼
I just started today you are encouraging me
What did you eat.
Thanks. This is great to know.
I've been on it 6 months and totally changed my diet a few months before starting it, I've lost 90lbs and counting, A1C is at 4.9
Wow Congratulations, I’ve been on it a month now I’ve only lost 4 pounds I’m so discouraged. Not sure why I’m not losing more as I only eat like a bird
@Amy Gunn That's amazing! Congratulations. What's your Ozempic dosage?
That’s amazing! Congrats
@@MsFranzetta give ur body time ❤️
That is AWESOME!!
I've been on ozempic for 7 months I've lost 96 pounds I would absolutely recommend this to everyone ❤
Wow okkk! So this really works?! I have tied some of everything and wasn’t able to finish the vsg process due to insurance issues. Are there any negative side effects
@@iGottaLitSpirit Yes there are some downs alot of people have diarrhea or constipation I have the constipation and it will give some people indigestion which is what we call the stinky burp but other than that you will lose tons of weight and your a1c will be well controlled I hope this helps❤
Did you gain it back when you stopped?
My friend has lost over 4st with no effort on ozempic I really want it but its not licensed for non diabetics😭😭
I felt like I had morning sickness on it. I only did 2 months, but I lost about 15 pounds
Yesterday was Day 31 of using Ozempic and eating only 2 cups fruit, 2 cups vegetables, and 2 6oz of protein per day. So far I’m down 44lbs.
Amazing - what dose did you start on?
@@garagebandkings just took my second week dose of 0.25 - not really noticing anything, slightly decreased appetite but not what I expected….perhaps I’ll go 0.5 next week…
@@perrogrande give it some time and your body will start to adjust. You will for sure hit a plateau but don’t get too discouraged. I was plateaued for a week and finally got over the hump today. Day 34 and 47lbs down!
Congrats! What was your starting weight if you don't mind?
@@garagebandkings Congrats dear! I wish you all the best!
I love how everyone is so supportive in the comments. We are all trying to battle this problem we have and it's nice that everyone is uplifting.
It's always my hope that it stays that way. I try my best to create a safe space for people with diabetes, and always hope that everyone stays encouraging and respectful.
@@TheHangryWoman you are so courageous to share your story and experience. I do care for you.
❤
I've lost almost 50 pounds in 8 months. It's a miracle for me
Congrats!
I've lost 40 pounds in 5 months 2 weeks. I'm not diabetic, but I had hormone weight from taking cortisol steroids for 20 years.
I loved coming across this video as a pharmacist who is passionate about helping people manage their diabetes! Most likely reason the 0.25 dose didn’t do anything is because it is actually a non therapeutic dose meaning not effective for glycemic control and only there so patients’ bodies can get used to it and mitigate side effects when increasing to the therapeutic dose. Just know that when you eventually get to the therapeutic dose, the GI side effects of nausea etc. Are self limiting! Meaning that they DO go away as you keep taking it and won’t be forever. Also- semaglutide is the generic name for Ozempic, and there is actually an oral version now of semaglutide called Rybelsus which is HUGE because it is the first oral GLP-1 agonist! For those who cannot afford ozempic, try calling your insurance company to see which GLP-1 agonist they may prefer. My favorite is Trulicity because it is a once weekly injection that you don’t have to attach pen needles to, and is SO easy to inject with. If you ever have any questions please ask!! :)
This is great information. Thank you for sharing it with everyone and taking your time to educate us all!
Thank you for this information
Amanda THANK YOU❣️❣️❣️❣️ Apart from my appetite decreasing and food no longer having any tastes, I was worried that it was not working but I’ll await results when I increase my dose❣️
Thank you for this information especially for telling us about pushing thru the higher dose with the side effects! I will keep it in mind when I start this month then increase the following month....... I pray it's the expected side effects and not the worrisome kind!!!
Thank you so much for this!!
I have been on Ozempic 15 months. As of today, I have lost 111 pounds. My A1C is 5.5. I am no longer taking Jardiance or Metformin. Still on 1 mg once weekly dose. Medical association has just approved a 2 mg dose. My life has changed in so many ways. The other day while shopping, a guy came up and asked me on a date :) I am 58 and finally after years I am under 200 pounds
I’m so happy for you !
Georgia has a new boyfriend
I need to probably change then. I'm 48 and ready to date again. Lol.
I'm 6 weeks in on ozempic and I have lost 19 pounds....I love it....
Love your video. I have been on this journey for a year and 1/2. I was 225lbs when I started. I am now 160lbs. Keep it up you can do it!!
@Krymsyn Tree Nice! You are also taking Ozempic? What's your dosage if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!
@@throwacnt7603 I am on .5 of ozempic but I actually want to go up to 1.0 but got to get approval from my doc. I have had a really hard time getting the last 20 lbs off. I've been 160 for about a month.
@@KrymsynTree Thank you so much for your response. So you feel like the .5mg you are at isn't cutting it? Still you've done great progress and 160lbs isn't too bad but I hope you can achieve your 140 goal!
@@throwacnt7603 I still have cravings that are hard to overcome at .5. Reports show that ozempic works best as an appetite suppressant when the doesage is at 2.5mg but that doesage has not yet been approved by the FDA. So 1.0 would be the highest I could go for my insurance to cover it. Ozempic was not the only med I was on for this journey. My doc has me on farxiga and metformin along with the ozempic and it has been a dream until I hit 160.
@@KrymsynTree Oh thank you so much for the information. Technically I could go and buy the 2.5mg dosage over here (if I had the cash) but the fact that .5 was so effective for you gives me hope. Of course I am sure the farxiga also helped but still I would imagine Ozempic is probably the main driver in all of that.
I know this video already has 1,000 comments, but I have to add mine. Thank you so so much for this video and your others discussing injections. I set the mood. Hot shower, relaxing music. And panic froze. I must have watched this 15 times and read dozens of comments. I was so worked up. Finally did it... didn't feel a thing. Literally nothing😅 so for anyone reading this. You got it!
I’m so glad you worked up the courage and got through it! 💕 first time injections are mentally hard, you’re not alone in that at all!
The way my Dr. explained it to me is raising the dosage doesn't mean more weight loss. He said ask yourself these three questions: "Am I losing weight? Does it curb my appetite? Does it curb my cravings?" He said if all of those answers are yes, then you're at your "sweet spot" and stay at that dosage until you can't say yes to those questions anymore. He said you may be on the first dosage for 6 months, as long as it's doing those three things, it's fine! He stated the only thing raising the dosage will do is increase the symptoms, not increase your weight loss. So find your sweet spot, and don't raise the dose or you will get sick.
I just had my first dose five minutes ago! I was recently diagnosed with type II, and I'm over weight, so my hopes are high that I can turn things around! Thank you for your story!
Update us
Was it painful at all? I’m sooooo terrified of needles!!!! 😭😭😭
@@2blessed2bestressed5 Hi there. I just started Ozempic less than a month ago. Just to reassure you, no worries, it's absolutely painLESS! I promise.
You just have to remember to change the injection site around. I kind of rotate around my belly button by several inches. You can inject in your arm, inner thighs, or stomach. I prefer my stomach because there's lots of fat...lol! In all honesty, I barely feel anything. The first time of anything is the scariest. But, you got this! You can do it and it's really no big deal!
God bless you always! 😊❤
@@hildahighlander2586hey does the skin remain when u lose the weight? Where can I get this?
6 weeks ago I started my journey on Ozempic, I was in a very dangerous weight slightly over 425 lb, I never felt so uncomfortable, so I turned to my doctor and she recommended Ozempic, I'm borderline type 2 diabetic, when I first started taking Ozempic, I was a little nauseated but, not too bad, I'm never hungry anymore, in the morning I eat something light and one more meal late afternoon or early evening, that's it, I do eat healthy, my blood sugar is controlled and the weight is falling off me. It's been 6 weeks and I'm at 396, 30 lb without even trying, and one another thing I've noticed my alcohol contents is basically zero, that by itself is saving me lots of calories. So for you drinkers out there Ozempic not only controls your blood sugar, but also controls your hunger and drinking disorder.
God bless everyone, God is good
I'm so glad to hear it's going well for you. Great job!
It makes u want to drink less alcohol too? Which dose did you notice that effect? I’m just curious. I started the 0.5 today.
@@rachelbockelmann6998 Rachel 1.5 Ozempic is what I'm doing now. Haven't drank in 2 weeks.
@@larrybrooks5495 that’s amazing! I hope I will have the same success! I noticed I do want to drink less but i haven’t completely quit.
@@larrybrooks5495 1.5 with no throwing up? I'm about to start at .5 and so nervous I'll be sick throwing up.
Great job articulating your journey. The way you break it down, no holds bar. So appreciated. Good luck with your path.
My doc started me on Ozempic at the end of Nov 23' I am a type 2 diabetic, my a1c went from 7.6 to 6.9 by Jan 5 24' my weight loss is just a bonus, from 214 to 190 in 2 1/2 months, I take .05, no plans of increasing the dosage because I already take a low dosage of Jardiance, I purposely didn't exercise for the last 2 months to see what would happen! Now I'm back on my routine starting Monday weight loss goal is 180 or less 10 lbs to go!
I was so looking forward to getting on Ozempic. My doctor told me that I have to take it very seriously if I wanted to lose weight. Eating right and exercise, she said. So I prepared. I went grocery shopping and purchased all the healthy stuff. When I started at 0.5 I had to force myself to eat and I couldnt finish the small portion I would serve myself. My asthma is totally under control and so is my blood pressure. Pain that I felt in my legs, due to poor blood circulation, gone on day 2. I have been on Ozempic for 13 days and I have lost 13 lbs.
WOW that's incredible? How is it going for you now after a month? Are you still happy with it, and how's your energy? I'm debating buying it to use (I have very high bmi but don't have diabetes so unfortunately I can't get it through my doctor in the UK, so since I have to spend money on it, I'm very cautious)
And after 3 months how much did you lose?
I’m so glad I found your channel because you have really helped me with your experience with Ozempic. I have been so sick and trying to get through this.
Just did my second doses this past Friday, I’m so nauseous right now. I have type 2 ( just diagnosed this month). Thank you for sharing your story, I’m enjoying reading these comments too. They are giving me so much hope. I’m 6”0 and weight 437 lbs. Trying to get down to 200 lbs in a healthy way. I have PCOS, Fibriods, and endometriosis. So depression from pain has been really hard on me. Thank you everyone in here for giving me hope.
I know about pain , I pray that your pain ease up & if you are depressed never again say that you are lofe & death lies in our toung , feel betta & njoy these beautiful days that are upon us now Blessings on your life sweetie
Just read your comment I know you got this just left my doctors office today and she ordered it for me the injection so when I get it I’ll let you guys know how I’m doing but you got this sis
Hi it's been a month since you posted, just wondering how you're feeling now?
@@missbeaussie thank you for asking, I’m actually doing well. Might start posting about my journey. Nausea sucks and I think I hate sugary stuff now 😅. Down 4 pounds last time I weighed this last March after the first month.
@@spicysizzling1600 thank you so much I really needed to hear that
Hi Mila! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I am currently going through the same struggles as well, and seeing you succeed brings me so much joy!❤🥰🥳
Thank you so much! I'm here for you and it makes me feel so encouraged that you understand these feelings, too.
I cannot tell you how excited I was to find your video in my feed. I have been on the shots for six weeks. Completely changed my life. I have tried absolutely everything there is. I was always a stress and emotional eater. I ran a stable and lesson barn with horses for fifteen years and tgere was always stress. Nothing all day and eat all night. Now I eat less then a third of what I did before. I feel amazing. I am full so much faster and in control. I wish this was discovered decades ago. Congratulations on your weight loss
I just started Ozempic and I am having the same response as you. I went from always hungry to fine not hungry at all. Blood sugar numbers are better than they have ever been. To hear you makes me so excited!
You’re amazing! Meditation might not be physical exercise but it is definitely mental exercise and it made sense that you included that! I’m sure the stress reduction does aid your well-being and weight loss! Thanks for sharing! It’s rare to see a video by someone that is intelligent well spoken and genuine. You’re all of those!!!!
This made me cry, I start my first shot Sunday, and I am so excited now after watching this and your how to inject video. You just gained a follower!! I have insulin resistance/type 2 with PCOS. This makes me hopeful.
Your video and all the comments here are motivating me. Thank you! I am starting Ozempic today after struggling with weight loss and 1ac. Let's hope I ll reach my goals!
I've been taking ozempic since October. I went from 220 to 190. I have been plenty sick, a few times. Constipation/diarrhea is also a side affect. I'm doing .75 every week now. My number have improved so much. I was prediabetic and now my sugars are under control. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I’ve been pre diabetic my whole life my pcp gave me a 6 week trial to see how my body reacts. Do you mind sharing wha my your diet looked like?
I’m prediebetic right now. I’ve gained so much weighi just got prescribed the ozempic. Wish me luck!
@@neetabeeta6927 Unfortunately no. If you have ever, been diagnosed with diabetes, i mean ever, it is covered. I am prediabetic just by my A1C and it is not covered. My MD recommended buying it from Canada online.
I am just getting ready to start this journey on Ozempic and am so glad I found your channel. I am looking forward to following your journey and watching more of your videos. :)
I just started saxenda last month and I am excited to see how it works. I am 5'3 & was 288 ponds last year and lost 50 pounds on orlistat, then I gained 20 pounds back. I gained over 120 ponds after getting out the army in 2017 due to ptsd and anxiety. I was never a big girl and was always active but the depression and suicide attempts just didn't help. I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 241.2, and plan to get back in the gym to take care of the loose skin. You and every person in the comments are amazing!
I’m so glad there’s a video on this! I’ve googled testimonials but it’s nice watching and hearing a personal experience on this medication. I’m week 3 on Ozempic ☺️
I'm so glad it's helpful. I did the same thing when I started taking it, but couldn't find many patients talking about their experience directly. Just doctors explaining it.
may I ask if you list any weight on week one? I haven't and feeling frustrated.
@@fayehayden5740 it took a couple of weeks to see my first few pounds shed. Definitely give it some time to work!
I was just recommended by my endocrinologist to be placed on ozempic by my PCP and ran across your video with the injection and now this explanatory video and I am so grateful 🥹 for you!! I will be following you and my doctors orders!! Thanks for sharing your life with us!! You are very special, Arlene (Miami, Fl)
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for your honest and detailed testimony.
Thank you 😊. I love your glasses and you such a beautiful queen! ❤️ I’m a 65 year old woman. I’ve always been health conscious, but the weight is hard to come off now!Keep going and keep your health ❤️
You are so, so sweet - thank you!
Thanks so much for chronicling your journey. I'm about to take my 1st dose and was freaking out a bit. This has helped ease my anxiety. Very appreciative of your openness about this.
Update? hope you are doing well
You made me cry little sister. I’ve been battling Type 2 diabetes going on 30 years. I was informed today by my doctor that she’ll put me on this injection medication if my numbers don’t improved. You’ve eased my mind. Thank you.
Dr. Jason fung. Dr. Berg.
All I can say is that you are an inspiration... today is my first day on Ozempic and I have to say I was a bit scared. I don't like putting anything in my body that I don't know anything about. You have calmed my fears. This little journey will be a bit less unpleasant knowing there are others out there walking the same path. Thank you
Same here with the fears of this drug!! I start on 8/17/21 .......this sweet girl gave me clarity
If you don't mind me asking how are you feeling 8 months in? I just stared yesterday! Super nauseated 🤢
@@nate5336 Hi Nate I started 1 week ago feeling unbalanced did your symptoms go away
Many of us are walking this path. I just took my 3rd week shot Friday. When I started I was 157 lbs and only 5 ft. When I was weighed at Drs couldn't believe I was under 150 for the first time in years. I weighed in at 147... 10 lbs in under 3 weeks or so is awesome. I had a horrible time loosing weight since my early 40's. I'm 51 now .
I start mine today ….. thank gawd I ran across ur video calms me down a lot
I'm so glad I have come across your channel. I am starting Ozempic this week. I have PCOS and it has wreaked havoc on my blood pressure and blood sugar.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m so happy for you, and it’s great to be on this journey with you. I’m actually starting Ozempic today and it was very comforting to come across your video and see what great success you’ve had as well as some of the side effects you experienced.
Update? hope you are doing well
Thank you so much. I just took my first dose today. I look forward to following and joining this journey.
Thank you for this! My doctor just put me on Ozempic, I’ve struggled forever with my weight due to PCOS. Seeing this and reading the comments, have really helped me!
I'm a diabetic and I've been on ozempic for 3 weeks .25 dose, and I'm down 18 lbs. So it definitely works for me. It gave me bad nausea and vomiting. Also food aversions were bad. I couldn't smell certain food without wanting to vomit. I was ready to give up until i saw the scale 😂 So keep going guys
Hi I just started on the low dose too, did you have to increase after your 8weeks or did you stay at the same dose ?
Your story is inspiring. I’m feeling hopeful for this next journey. Thank you for sharing your updates!
I'm wishing you the best of luck. I know the beginnings are hard to figure out. Thanks for watching!
Thank God they finally came up with something. This is a blessing to everyone who struggles with their weight.
I absolutely love how real you are!
This is the best video I seen so far so we'll explained!!! Thank you ❤️
Good God people,bless you all! your weight loss and A1c is incredible! I have been struggling on metformin and glyburide for 17 years.I lost my job as a truck driver in January because my A1c was over guidelines at 9.8.I immediately began walking 5 miles a day,90 days later my A1c was 8.9.Still over the maximum allowable 8.0 as allowed by NY DOT regulation,I just had my next 90 day A1c which was 8.2.Six months out of work,walking 5 miles every day,no disability,no unemployment,just pure frustration! I have my appointment with my endrocronoligist on this coming Tuesday,She has been keeping me on the pills.I want to tell her enough! I need change.Bless you all.
I am so glad I came across your videos. Following your journey is giving me such hope that I can overcome this. Please keep doing what you're doing. I am on Janumet 50/1000 and my morning fasting reading has always been in the 180s or sometimes higher no matter what I eat. I am going to talk to my doctor about ozempic and see what he says!
I am 57 and have had LADA for 17 years. A1C has been decent, but it's a real rollercoaster ride and my insulin needs have increased to about 95u a day (I am on a Tandem t:slim pump). I started Ozempic five days ago and am praying for good results! No side effects yet, although this morning I am having some odd abdominal cramping. Thanks for doing this video and please keep them coming! Praying that things continue to go well for you.
Thank you so much. I hope that things continue to go well for you too!
I'm so glad I did my research by coming across your video. I have type 2 diabetes, and I'm starting Ozempic this week. Wish me luck. I'm afraid of the possible nausea.
I was on RYBELSUS for 6 months with great results (12 A1C down to a 4.9 A1C) but I lost my insurance help so the price went back to $1000 a month. My doctor switched me to OZEMPIC .5mg and with my insurance and coupons it's $75 a month. I start it this coming Sunday when I run out of my RYBELSUS. I glad to hear of your success, I hope my results are similar to yours. Thanks for sharing.
Your personal experience was very informative and helpful in putting me at ease about trying Ozempic. I am just 1 day in and pray that I too have good results. Thank you for sharing. Very well done!!
Just started my first dose today. Crossing my fingers. Thank you for the video and congratulations.
This video helped so much, I just started ozempic and I'm metformin for type 2 diabetes. I'm 340 now I was 160. I'm at my rock bottom. So you inspired me and realize it's possible
I’m currently at 340 and I’m at rock bottom and desperately wanting to lose weight I start Monday and I’m so excited to start my journey good lick to you!🫶🏽
@@lydiaanderson3466hey how did it go? Did you manage to lose the weight?
I started Ozempic last August. I weighed in at 218 lbs now February 2021 I am now 188 lbs.
Dear, i took the first dose, i felt volume did not reduce ! Is it normal? I took .25
If you're happy, I'm happy for you!
Did you change your diet? Or workout?
@@mrscannon1596 I was already dieting and exercising and still had a hard time losing weight before taking Ozempic. Ozempic seemed to make things easier. I will say that it reduces your appetite significantly, so while I didn't change what I ate, I definitely changed volume. Even water started to make me full.
I start tomorrow. I'm really hopeful after watching this video.
Just getting ready to start this medication. Thank you for putting your channel up. Keep on keeping on. Best wishes from Vancouver Island.
This video is so wonderful and I appreciate you sharing your story, which is helping so many others. I wish I had seen this earlier. I was pre-diabetic and my doctor suggested doing a 6-week trial of Ozempic. Starting at the 0.25 dosage, I immediately felt super full all the time. By the 3rd week, I had lost 10 pounds (Yes, TEN!), but I didn't like the way it was making me feel. Like I was on the verge of throwing up all the time. Week 5 & 6, I increased the dosage to 0.50 and that's when the super nausea began. I knew I couldn't continue. All total, it helped with my numbers, and I did lose 14 lbs all total, but feeling nauseous all the time is not something I can handle. *Much love and blessings to you for sharing your wisdom with us!!!* 🤗🥰🤗
I just started my first dose today. I am super excited to see my results. I am so happy to hear it is working for you!
Tell me what happened.?🔥 how much did you lost
Same here I just started my first doze this week hope it'll work positive without any sides effects Ameen 🙂
@@xonikhan9806 did you lose any weight?
Update?
Thank you so much for this review 😍 it's so hard to get good information about it! I have PCOS too and I did so much stuff to solve it I don't have any symptoms, BUT insulinresistence is the only thing left that doesn't want to go.
Thank you so much, really thank you ❤️🙏
I am sharing my husbands account but I am 50 , menopausal, have pcos and have fought my weight since i was 21. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and after 3 months my GP started me on Ozempic. I am on my 5th day and i am in heaven. I am almost never hungry and no longer obsessed with food. I can easily eat healthy because my cravings are gone. This is life changing for me. Thank goodness insurance covers it.
I have pcos and diabetes and I just started ozempic today. I'm happy I found your channel.
I took Ozempic and that nausea scared me and so I just got off it immediately. I'm on another medicine that gives me the same thing that you're talking about, but I'm happy that you put this video up. Diabetes is a bear and it is all about getting that A1C down for me. I wish you the best of luck, and I'll follow you on your journey! You're motivating! Keep going!
Hello thanks for posting. I have a gastro disorder so that would be a huge concern for me. What did you decide to take? Thanks!
Watching your videos on this medication are so helpful! I’m about to start it for PCOS and I was so nervous! Your videos have really eased my nerves!
Hey Savannah you should most defo try it. I have type 1 diabetes a couple of years back I was diagnosed with PCOS. I went from 63 kg to 84.7 kg. The last years have been HELL for me I don't take pictures of myself anymore as my face has become chubby. Went from a size 36 eu to 44. I took last wednesday my first jab and today it's monday I'm 82.8 kg so I have hope for the future. I have to pay for it myself as a type 1 diabetic and not type 2 but seriously 102 euro's a month is nothing compared to loosing weight for me. I've been experiencing constipation and a lot of hypo's though I've cut my insuline to like 2/3 of what I normally inject so thus far I have no regrets.
Hi, just wondering if you just have pcos or diabetes too? I just have pcos and wondering if semeglutide/ozempic is right for me. Also, have you see any progress/changes? Thanks!
@@juliaizbinsky2134 Hi, I have type 1 diabetes and since a couple of years back also PCOS. Well I was at 84.7 kg's when I started taking ozempic and the lowest I've been now weight wise is 75.2 kg's now. So yeah it has beeen helping me to loose weight and hopefully I will continue to loose weight. I want to reach atleast 65 kg's. But I have a sensor and eventhough on normal days when my hormones are not that out of control I significantly inject less insulin but on other days like before my periods my sugar levels do still rise so it doesn't alltogether get rid of all my problems but you don't havve diabetes so I think it should hellp weight loss wise. Good luck if you decide to try it out God bless
I have just started Ozempic and your video has helped..Thank you
I just started ozempic last week and this video is so helpful and reassuring!
So happy I came across your channel! I've been taking Ozempic for about a month. I have PCOS and also hypothyroid disorder so it's very hard for me to lose weight. This med has been a dream so far. The first few weeks were hard because of nausea and vomiting, but it's getting better. My doctor told me it would subside and it has. Ozempic really helped me lose weight, which was very hard to do before with the insulin resistance from the PCOS and my slower metabolism from the low thyroid. I've lost 14 pounds in 4 weeks.
Hello, how did you bring this up to your Dr? I also have PCOS
Hi what does were you taking for the first month please
This!! I have the same thing and I'm starting it today. I'm nervous to deal with any side effects. Did they go away after a day?
I had EXACTLY the same experience! Can’t tolerate the .50 dosage, but the .25 is doing very well! Got through my first self injection by watching your video- thanks SO MUCH!
I'm so glad it helped and that you're doing well on the low dose! It's crazy to me how fast it works!
same!!!!
I was on the 0 025 and I I big improvement with my blood sugar as soon as I've gone up to the 0.05 I have all the side effects and always ill my blood sugar has gone back up. Feel so fed up
@@juliemarks3885 I was on .25 mg/ml for about 8 weeks and increased to .50mg/ ml yesterday. I'm hoping to further reduce A1C and lose more weight without overly unpleasant side effects.
Since the last time I msged you the doctor took me off that medication and I'm waiting to see what other medications are Available.
thankyou so much for this video! ive just started ozempic and have really wanted to hear other peoples experiences.
I was just prescribed Ozempic, but haven't started taking it do to not really knowing what else I should be doing while taking the medication. Thank you so much for making this more clear to me.
Wish u all the best of luck in reaching ur goal and feeling much better 2.
I was so scared to stab myself with the needle. When I did, I didn't think it worked because I didn't feel anything. But you just don't feel it at all. Just letting people know if there scared of needles its so easy to take.
I used Trulicity before and that injector hurts way more than this. I also thought I must not have done something right the first time because there was no pain.
Omg me too! I was like maybe I didnt do it right and need to do it again lol
You can have it in Tablet form, its called Rybelsus ahs the same content.
Glad you said this as I just took my first dose and I’m not sure it even happened lol. Now I’ll just wait and see.
Thanks for saying this! I'm doing a ton of research before doing it the first time, because I feel like I won't do it correctly. I've had it for 4 days now though, and really need to get it over with. Lol
Thank you for sharing your journey and advice!! Wishing you health and happiness and many blessings in life.
So happy I found your vids, I was researching as my doctor prescribed this for me today! Thank you 😊
OMG I have struggled with PCOS for the past 30 years of my life, since my late twenties! I went off the pill to get pregnant and all hell broke loose. When you said that you have to do something incredibly drastic to lose weight, yes, that is me. For me to lose weight I had to have the most strict diet possible and at least 2 hours of exercise per day. I would lose with much sacrifice, simply to gain again once I entered the 'maintaining' stage, because the losing stage is not sustainable. There is no maintaining stage with PCOS, only extreme stage. My doctor has suggested this, and asked me to research it. I am so glad to have found your site! Thank you so much.
Girl you’re beautiful!!! Congrats on your weight loss journey! I can’t wait to start Ozempic! Literally made an appointment with my PCP for this Thursday to get me on Ozempic. It’s going to be a $75 co-pay for me, but this is an investment in yourself which is the most important, so I am not pressed at all lol! I cannotttt wait! Your video literally motivated me so much!
I have PCOS as well & I LITERALLY felttttt you heavily when you said you have to do the UTMOST just to lose weight pre-Ozempic...I was soldddd!
Anyways, can’t wait to see more updates!!! Keep up the great work & ahhhh congrats on being in the 100 Club! Whoopppp 🥳
Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet comments!
I'm so glad the video helped you make a decision with what you wanted to do. Also make sure to check the manufacturer for coupons. It may be able to lower your medication cost. Novo Nordisk makes it (OzempicSavings.com). There are usually some eligibility requirements, and a cap on the number of times you can use the savings card, but It can help in the short term.
Good luck with it, and please let me know how it works out for you!!
@@TheHangryWoman Aww thank you so much for the savings card! Hopefully when I show my pharmacist tomorrow it workssss lol!!!
Any updates?!
Updates on your weight loss?!
LOVE your videos girl, I just got it prescribed this today! Can't wait to watch the rest. Keep it up!! 💯 🙏☝️👑❤️
Thank you so much for this detailed video I’m starting my journey this week on this meditation. It’s beautiful when people share it takes some the fear out
Thanks ...appreciate you taking time to help others
Thank you for sharing. I was ready to quit 30 minutes ago because of the nausea and diarrhea. Your video has given me the strength to continue on my weight loss journey.
Have you taken it if so..have you lost weight?
Hey Carlton,theses u tube videos are a Godsend, knowing everyone else gets sickness n diarrhea, means we are not alone, it's hard getting through the bad days,but balancing h1c1 and getting diabetes (I've type 2) better controlled,also losing some weight is a great plus,good luck.
Drink lots of water. It will help with that.
Thank you for this. I just got my pen this week. I haven't started yet. I'm T2 and the biggest baby when it comes to needles. It took me over a month to just pick my finger to test. Thank you for being real.
Aweee thank you for watching! And don’t be scared about the injection! It’s a tinnnnnny, super fine needle. Maybe a lil pinch but you’ll forget about it as soon as you do it. And it’s only once weekly! You’ll do great.
@@TheHangryWoman thank you. I did my first dose this morning. Didn't hesitate and zero pain. Thanks for the reassurance. Your video has for sure help at least 1 person. Lower a1c here I come. 😁
@@callibautista4200 yay!! You got through it! I can’t wait to hear what you think over time ☺️.
You don't feel the needle at all, like not at all.
I’ve just started on Ozempic (PCOS and insulin resistance). So far similar experience to you 😊
I'm on Ozempic and my dose was just increased to 1mg and every single time my dose is increased, I go through the side effects. But the side effects usually only last 1 to 2 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I am miserable during that time but the benefits outweigh the bad, so I deal with it. Just wanted you to know that there is an end to those crappy side effects. So right now I'm feeling horrible and exhausted but I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for the video, it is very helpful!
Congratulations. Crossing that 199 mark is a big boost be proud and happy! After a while the diet choices will be easier to manage. Find substitutes for the things you love that are low carb/ low sugar. And reward yourself with non food things. Even as small as a lipstick or earrings
Thank you for telling your story. I was afraid to take the pen, had it since December, and took it for the first time today after watching you.
Excellent video, I just started Ozempic and am doing my research. I looked At a few videos and none was as explained as clearly as yours. I really hope it helps me with weight loss.
Thank you very mucht for posting this video! Yesterday I gave myself my first (0.25mg) injection. So far, after some 12 hours there seem no adverse side-effects happening. Your video gives me hope and I think you are a very courageous person, helping a lot of people - like me - getting there. Too many words: but I am comforted by you canda. So, again, thank you!
Thanks for your kind comment! Glad to hear that you're taking well to it!
How has the ozempic worked for you?
@@ThingsILikke Hi, for starters, the side effects have surprised me for being hardly present (luckily). Some spells of being nausiated and a slight adverse to eating. Lost 4 kgs by now, could have been more if I set myself into eating less. Nowadays I take 1mg weekly. Sugar level went down from 110 to 67, and next January the next test.
The wonders of loosing weight did not occur to me, however very little discomfort.
@@maresolaris did the 0.25 dose work
@@treesagreen4511 Hi Treesa, Actually it did - I guess... Because I did not feel a thing. Nothing. In a period of weeks I migrated to 0.5 and finally to 1.0. Besides very few nauseates I only find to be less hungry. Sugar levels remain the same.
SInce yesterday I have to inject insuline, too. Feels a bit like being defeated.
We'll get this, in the end ;-)
Thank you for sharing your experience with this med. ❤ I just picked up my fist months doses. So nervous but needed the extra boot to go with eating clean, keto and intermittent fasting. I have lost weight with the latter two but seemed to have stalled. So hoping this will help. Am not diabetic but do have Ankylosing Spondylitis (auto immune disease) This limits my mobility. And pounds have been creeping up over the past few yrs. again Thank you . and your looking amazing.
How r u doing? I also have AS and weight is creeping up bc of my decreased mobility
Thank you so much for this video! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 8 months ago but I was in denial. I was prediabetic for a few years prior and I would change my diet and exercise but I was never consistent so I would regain any weight I lost. Recently my Dr suggested Ozempic. I was thrilled when I found out my insurance covered it because as you stated it’s very pricey. I just took my first dose earlier today. Ozempic is so popular and there are so many opinions out there so of course when I came on here to find a video how to take it several other videos came up. I’m grateful for all of you that have commented and shared your stories. I’m hopefully that I’ll not only lose weight, but keep it off. My Dr has me on a diet that I plan to maintain as a lifestyle change and I started taking walks. This is the start of my journey and I know if I want to see results I need to do my part.
Not only are you beautiful, you are very eloquent and intelligent. Thank you for the detailed experience with OZEMPIC. Your show has given me the nitty gritty personal details i was look for as a Type 2 Diabetic and newly started on OZEMPIC. Thanks and keep up the good job!
Thank you for this! I have PCOS and I totally hear you about how hard it is to lose weight. I severely restricted my daily calories for almost 2 years, exercised too and still couldn’t get under 200 lbs. Planning to talk to my doctor about ozempic- I’d much rather try it than bariatric surgery.
Try a keto diet
Me too. I’m so relieved to hear that it’s not just me. So many just say it’s calories in and exercise out and you lose.... but not so for everyone or at least with PCOS
Look into supplements to correct estrogen dominance. Calcium D-Glucarate (CDG) and others are very helpful in balancing hormones
I hear it's an awesome drug I just started it today 👍
I was mentioned about it from my primary care and my former nutritionist. But since I switched to another nutritionist, even she brought it up. So I am actually going to look into it and see how it works and go from there. I also have PCOS and I did lose weight, a lot of weight on the phentermine and bupropion. But I just don’t think it was good enough for me. So me going this rail actually could work out in the end for me. So thank you so much.
I literally just took my first injection and needed to watch your video on how to inject it. I’m really praying that it works for me. Best wishes from your new subscriber from Ireland xxx
Thank you for leaving a comment all the way from Ireland! And I’m so glad this helped! Sometimes seeing someone else do it helps ease any discomfort.
Best of luck taking it! I hope it works for you ❤️
Me too, Sarah, in Cork… 🤞🏻 fingers crossed for us both, right? ☺️❤️
Lady Maester I just took my 4th injection. I’m starting on the .50mg next week. I have had some bad days with my stomach but it’s definitely decreased my appetite and I’ve started to realise if I over eat that’s when the stomach pain and sulphur burps start. My husband and best friend have said that I have lost loads of weight off my face and I can feel my bra getting so much looser( thank god lol)
@@sarahbrady4526 Ozempic and duct tape for our mouths! We’d be new women 😂
Have you weighed at all Sarah? I weighed yesterday before my first injection. And I’ll try to restrict it to every week at injection time. But I don’t want to become scales obsessed. I think I’m just overexcited about it yet.
Any changes in weight??
Thanks for this! I so related to how felt your body was just resistant to weight loss despite high willpower, regular exercise, etc. For years I've been "eating less and moving more," yet only the most extreme of measures ever made me lose significant weight (and even then, it was much slower than average). I just had my first dose of Ozempic 4 days ago and I'm excited to have results that actually reflect my effort!
Thank you for sharing your experience, and how to inject. I start next week, and am super excited 🤗
Hi and first off, Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to explain how to take ozempic and on your experience with it. Today is my first dose, I'm hoping I took it correctly. I am confident that I will do fine with it and look forward to positive results! Thank you and God bless!
I started today
I’m going to start my Ozempic journey starting tomorrow. I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and I’ve tried almost everything to lose weight. I came across your video and I found it very helpful and interesting. I’m a new subscriber also. I’ll come back occasionally to report my progress. Be blessed everyone.

Thank you so much for sharing all of this helpful information - Congrats on doing so well too!!
I'm getting placed on ozempic this week and I'm so excited. I've been struggling for years with my weight. I have PCOS and type 2 diabetes. Your story is so similar to mine. I hope I have the same results as you do. I've been killing myself in the gym and eating strict keto for over a year and I've only seen a 8-10lbs loss with just doing it on my own. My 16hr fasting sugars always reads over 140mg/dl. I'm 5ft and my doctor wants me to weigh 120lbs, but I weigh 150lbs now after 10lb weight loss for over a year of working at it. I can't wait to finally get rid of my belly fat that is the bane of my existence, and has been for the past 5 years when I was first diagnosed with PCOS. My doctor is getting pre-auth from my insurance today and I really hope it's covered!🤞
Update: I just got my approval from insurance and paid the pharmacy $49.99. I have BCBS of Texas PPO low deductible plan through my employer. I'm so excited!
What is PCOS?
Hi Mila just had my 1st dose yesterday, hopefully I can meet my goal as well like you . Great video
Thank you! Wishing you the best of luck!
I am so glad that this is working for you... it is so nice to hear you speak so positively about yourself!!! 👍💖🥰
Thank you so much! I feel like so much of this has been getting access to the right tools and being open to ask for help and asking for what I need. I'm so lucky I have a great doctor who hears me.
Mila I somehow lost access to the
T2d website.How do I get back in ? I am T2D413yrs on the site
Thanks..bj from california
Hey BJ! Just make sure to reset your password. You may have logged in with Apple, Google or Facebook too, so try those options!
I came across your video looking for info on this med. I think now I'm going to wait to Saturday to start. I'm excited about the possible weight loss but in even more excited about the fasting glucose coming down. That's what really gets me right now.
I’m excited for you! I saw my blood sugars level out pretty quickly. I hope it helps you!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.💛
Thanks for listening!
