Giving Ozempic a SECOND try (even after my crazy side effects) | The Hangry Woman

  • Ozempic truly just works for me. The second time around, after taking a break, has been shocking. Mainly because taking such a long break meant fewer side effects when I started, and I could move up to the.5mg dose almost immediately. That gives me hope for getting up to higher doses in the future.
    Check out my journey on Ozempic so far: • Three Years on Ozempic
    Here's a great video by ‪@Vox‬ that features a little bit about my Ozempic experience and the Ozempic shortage: • Ozempic is a game-chan...
    #diabetes #ozempic #diabetesawareness
    I also want to say this because I get so much hate in the comments section: Ozempic is not a magic solution to weight loss, but it's also not taking the easy way out. It has helped many of us manage blood sugars more easily. If you fault someone for doing something that improves their health, you can honestly f*ck off. We don't do that here.

    Well, this is a surprise! I can't believe you went back on it after the ordeal you went through the first time! So happy you're tolerating it much better -- that's really wonderful. I found your channel when I was first prescribed Ozempic. You helped me work up the nerve to do that scary first injection, which is such a non-event now. It has kept my A1c labs looking great over the past year. I haven't seen as much weight loss as I'd like, but my doctor just prescribed a higher dose. Fingers crossed that doesn't cause problems. Thanks for this update!

    You are an amazing and positive woman and I thank you for sharing your experience. I’m a 75 year old type II diabetic with my A1C OF 6.4. I’ve been struggling with Ozempic since beginning 11 weeks ago. I’ve had all the symptoms, GI upsets, nausea vomiting, unable to eat, and fatigue beyond belief. I had trouble with high and low blood pressure so my doctor added 1.25 mg Altace. I also wore a halter monitor for 24 hours but don’t have the results since my doctor is away. I have no energy or motivation, perhaps because of the small amount I can eat. Just ordered a Magic Bullet to see if drinking a healthy smoothie will help. I was 213 lbs 11 weeks ago and i’m now 189, so 24 lbs. I want to stop feeling so crappy and be able to walk my dog again so am seriously considering stopping and not taking my next shot of .5. I’m on Vancouver Island in Canada and the doctor shortage here is critical so getting knowledgeable advice is pretty hard to find.

It has helped me lose and maintain the weight loss as well as getting my A1C into the normal range. I am diagnosed as type 2 but feel I will need medication for life.

      ❤ to HangryWoman! Scoured your vids B4 beginning Ozempic. Not diabetic, but Dr. said try this to break plateau. On 0.5 dose, I began to lose a lil. 3 mos. later, dose raised to 1.0. I was never hungry, had to force myself to eat. Lost 5 lbs, then 10 lbs., very small meals, ate clean. 2.5 mos. later, OMG😢😢😢😢 HORRIBLE naseau, vomiting everything, even water. Diarrhea, flu like symptoms, Dr said not flu, not COVID, Ozempic side effects. Impossible to continue due to deal breaking side effects. I did lose 15 lbs. over 3-4 mos. I'd do it again, despite terrible side effects at 1.0. Reinforced small portions, clean eating, drinking protein smoothies once a day. TY for explaining side effects B4 I began. Best wishes to you, lovely lady ❤, wish ugood health.

    Mila you are looking really well and vibrant. I've got type 2 diabetes. I've just gone back on it. There's been a massive shortage in Australia with ozempic. It's awesome that your blood tests results are so good. I personally don't think we ate at our healthiest when we are overweight, I do believe that we can do things to be as healthy as we can at whatever our current weight is. I'm so happy for you that this time around your not getting palpitations.

    Thank you so very much for sharing this update. Im getting ready to move up in dosage & was very nervous about that. I got caught up in the shortage. Was without it for a month. Ultimately I just asked my doctor if he could write my prescription for 3 months, he was able to do two. I did experience heart palpitations, it didn't last long. I knew it had to be the Ozempic, it was the only new medication I was taking, also I wasn't drinking enough water, which is an issue waaay before Ozempic. Doing better now & was supposed to start the new dose yesterday (Sunday) & I didn't so I'm getting ready to do it today. Glad to see you are well 😊

    Thank you for sharing your story! I was on Ozempic for 6 weeks. Around the 5th week I started having heart flutters/PVCs. It’s been a month since being off, but I’m still having them. The weirdest thing though, is that they are worse after I eat something, especially meat. I didn’t have nausea/vomiting either. So I wonder if it was the Ozempic or just digestive issues. Hmmm. The Ozempic did its job with keeping my blood sugar low. I pray to one day get back on it- you give me hope.

The nausea and diarrhea stopped in about 1 1/2 months. I am going to get on it if I can afford it. By eating keto, my A1C is 6.0, but I still have to take 25 mg. insulin in A.M. and 25 mg. at night. Would love to get off insulin as I gained 30 lbs. when put on it. Great Vid

    @castaway123100 Год назад

    I think the issue is blood pressure. If your blood pressure was elevated then the drug can push it into palpitations. But, after you lost weight your blood pressure have lowered significantly so that even if the drug caused a slight elevation it didn’t push it over the edge. I may try it again, but only after I loose more weight.

    Hi I have been on ozempic 0.25 for 2 months lost nothing , I decided to stop taking it this week as I have been getting tachycardia which has really scared me , saw cardiologist yesterday told to go back on it even if I get palpitations/ tachycardia hr said the weight had to come off and he said I will always get palpitations and not to worry about it … can I ask what kind of magnesium do people take along with ozempic to help this issue please .. I am in the UK and desperate to lose the weight before a heart attack or stroke gets me … it’s as if my metabolism had stopped working , I am calorie counting and sticking to high protein , and protein shakes. I will start on Monday thought I might just go straight in with 0.50 and not 0.25 any thoughts please gratefully received … love your channel thank you for all the advice 🙏 gayle x

    I've been on Ozempic 1 year and just stopped due to SVT attacks, up to 210 Beats per minute/ visits to ER. The SVT seemed to happen when I tried to increase dosage to 0.5mg. The SVT also seemed to strike during bouts of dehydration. Considering a heart ablation surgery to prevent them so I can get back on Ozempic. Somewhere in the mix of Ozempic and dehydration my heart goes off the rails. I really need to get back on it to manage by type 2 diabetes. Let's see.

    As far as heart palpitations go it could be not enough electrolytes. Make sure you are dedicated to drinking close to 8 glasses of water and get the necessary electrolytes. I drink a body armor sugar free everyday because I like that one but I imagine powerade or gatorade would be good, too.

    I'm about to (re)start ozempic too. I'm nervous. I was severely sick and only could deal with three doses before giving in and quitting. Is there any suggestions on pregaming for the nausea? Have you used a prescription like zofran?

    • @TheHangryWoman
      @TheHangryWoman  9 месяцев назад

      Zofran is REALLY helpful for that nausea. The best course for me was to titrate the medication with my doctor's supervision. I was on the lowest dose for three months before I increased to the next level. The first few weeks were absolutely miserable, but after that, it got better.
      Make sure to drink lots of water, focus on plant-based and non-greasy foods, and eat small, but frequent meals. All of those things help to curb the nausea and you'll have a better time on it.
      I also found that after stopping and restarting, I had way fewer side effects, and I almost thought it wasn't working because I felt really good on the second go-around. Hope this helps!

    Hi!! Over a year ago, I was on Ozempic for type 2 for about 6-7 months, I was doing great, then somehow I skipped one week, which then turned into weeks then months...I can't even explain why. My blood sugar never really got super high for a long time even after that, but I noticed it was getting back up there recently and so now I started again 2 weeks ago. I started at .25 and I've had mild side effects, but maybe a little more than the first time. Because of that, now I'm kinda scared to go up. The first time I stayed on .25 for 2 weeks, because that's what my Dr said to do, tomorrow is the injection day, not sure if I will go up, (I probably REALLY should make that appointment with the diabetes np...) How many weeks did you stay on .25? Will definitely be interested to see how you're doing. The first time around, your injection how to video was so helpful to me. Thanks for all you do!

I also have to take 25mg of metoprolol tartrate when needed, when I experience those symptoms and I can’t get it to stop naturally on its own. I’m still experiencing the symptoms of SVT even after I’ve stopped taking it. I don’t wanna try any more at this point. I used it for weight loss by the way.
