I originally started taking Ozempic in November 2020, and have had gret results.
Lowered A1C from 10% to 7%, steady weight loss, more motivation to exercise and keep up my weight loss, better overall metabolic health, fewer food cravings, and more.
I'm curious if you've seen similar results with using Ozempic. Do you still keep losing weight beyond the first 6 months?
Additionally, it's been reported that Ozempic may be FDA-approved later in 2021 for obesity treatment. I'm interested in seeing how that shakes out.

Y'ALL!!! luv it. totally wish you would talk to my teenager. THANK YOU so much for helping us.
Thank you! I to have been struggling with side effects since i started .5 dose two month ago.. i have a call into Dr . I will ask about decreasing dose back to .25.
How do I get it in California?
I’ve been on Ozempic for over a year and I have not noticed any change. I am type 2 diabetes and now take insulin 1x a day (which could be responsible for not losing any weight). It would be amazing to get these results. But at the same time… it’s been a nightmare trying to get my meds when they were out of stock. I went for 2 months without.
@@divineordergovernsmylife808 If you want to do it legally and ethically, you have to get a prescription from your doctor. Anything else, and it would be illegal and unethical.
Hi, I asked my doctor about ozempic after watching your video, he put me on it. I have been doing amazing, I changed my eating habits, I have lost 25 pounds in 30 days, a1c went from 10 to 6.5 in 30 days. I just want to thank you for your video.
I’m so proud of you! This is incredible!!
@Keisha Bullock can you share your eating
I had almost lost 50 pounds in 2 months and a half month. I will have my first A1C test in the end of the month. Also changed my diet completly.
@@LuisVasquezVega can you pls share your eating plan
@@gidget5416 Gidget i don't have exactly a diet plan. I eat a lot of vegetables with chiken, turkey or fish. A daily piece of fruit like half green apple or strawberry. Ozempic makes me feel less hungry so I feel full with small amounts of food.
I started using ozempic 2 years ago and I went from 270lbs to 145lbs! I swear it's a miracle drug for weightloss
Did your insurance approve it ?Im waiting to find out. And if so, was it still expensive?
Congratulations on your journey! What was your dose?….
Congrats! That is so motivating! Thanks for sharing!
Damn so happy for y’all
@@ItsTheLittleThingsInLife1111 If your insurance does not approve it, talk to your prescribing doctor. They have to put that you are pre-diabetic or diabetic for the insurance to accept it. If you are not any of those, I think they also accept it for high blood pressure.
I remember watching your video in my beginning!! I’m on 4th month and I have had HUGE changes! Not only has my A1c dropped a point, my cholesterol has dropped 20 points! Bonus tip for peeps on Ozempic- if you are super nauseated and are giving your injection in your belly- try your arm! It’s not absorbed as quickly as when injected in your belly! Causing less nausea! Thanks for sharing! I didn’t have anyone to share my journey with! I’ve also lost 12 lbs!
Wow thanks for this, nausea has been a REAL issue for me! I'll be trying injecting in my arm from now on!! xx
Thanks so much for sharing! I’m struggling with nausea and cramps. It’s been 2 months.
My weight loss doc said absolutely never do it in the arm. Wonder why??
Thank you for the tip!!
@@MsBianca78 it's shows you on the box all the places to can inject yourself. The back of the arm is one of those places.
I've lost 115 lbs in 8.5 months. From a size 24 to size 6. HgA1C went from 7.9 to 5.5 in 3 months. If my estimation is correct, I should be 5 or below at my appointment next week. I lost the first 45 in 3 months.
Incredible! I'm so glad to hear it helped you so much.
How drastic did you change your diet?
Do you struggle with nausea and /or stomach cramps?
Congrat-u- freaking-lations!
That's mind-blowing congrats
Mila I am on Ozempic and I am down 71 pounds since March of 2020, with a total weight loss of 146 original weight 394, I now weigh 248 pounds. I got my A1-C on Monday which is 6.3 I was on U 500 Novlog and am know on U100, Novolog I am on 1mg Ozempic,
I feel much better health wise , I enjoy your Blog
Thank you for this video. I am considerably older than you and when younger was always in excellent physical shape (stomach flat as a board). But when I turned 60 or so, the AIC began to creep up and the meds my doc put me on caused considerable weight gain. I just started Ozempic today and felt no bad indicators at the .25 dose. It absolutely KILLED my appetite. Today I have eaten about 1/3 of what I would normally eat. I'll check back in with you in a few months. You are very brave for sharing this personal info with everyone.
Asking for an update. I am in the same category as you. I started today. How is it going?
Update
I have lost 15 lbs since I started it in April!!! 25 total since March!!! I turn 40 next week! So happy to be smaller than I was at my last birthday!
I’m so happy for you, and happy early birthday!
@@TheHangryWoman Thank you! You are so sweet 💗
this is amazing! Did you start losing right away? It's taking a while to kick in for me and I'm at the 1 mg dose...
@@melaniegundersheim7722 It took me 3 weeks
@@AlexisLove81 to kick in?
First off girl, your glasses are on point! Love them! I've been on it for a month and have lost 23lbs. Luckily I didn't experience any crazy side effects, but I do have bouts of nausea for 5 mins at the most and it goes away. I find it interesting I have a lot in common with a lot of people, I have PCOS, high blood pressure, diabetes II, irregular periods, hair growth on my freaking face, hair loss on my head, high cholesterol. Pretty much everything that CAN happen with PCOS has happened to me minus the acne (gotta be thankful for the small things). This medication is a godsend. I have little to no apatite. I get full quickly. But I still have a LONG way to go with my weight. One pound at a time....
Congrats..... How are you doing so far ! I also have PCOS my Dr just prescribed me this medication .. can't wait to start on this new journey !!
What a nut, to go through these horrible systems -- just to lose weight ❗🥺 🥺 FOOLISH. Your doctor needs a re- fresher course OR quit his profession. HEY, TRY THIS. (( START EATING WELL & HEALTHY )) & & STOP STUFFING YOUR FACE W/ANYTHING KIND OF FOOD YOU SEE.
@@davinagray700 wow @ your remarks wow!
Hi, Did you gain the weight back once you stopped?
Hi I was 259 when I started taking Ozempic I am now 228 I have been taking it ever since Oct of 2023 it is now Jan 2024 I started with the 0,25 I am now taking 1mg the good news is that I never got any side effects I am just loosing the weight I am not eating a lot anymore. I was given it because I am pre diabetic
What a beautiful young woman. Praying for you and your success!
I am looking into starting it today as a matter of fact. I'm 56 years old. Last year I started prepping for the Sleeve surgery around April/May, 2021. December 2, 2021 I had my surgery. My highest weight was 333.0 lbs. I lost about 65 on my own with the pre-op Hi-Protein, Low carb, low calorie diet. My weight at Surgery date was 276.4 lbs. April of 2022, my weight loss came to a stop at 243 lbs. I've been stuck around there to this date, weighing in this morning at 245.4, staying in that range of 245 - 250 lbs, respectively. Late January was when she had me discontinue my diabetes medication, Rybelsus, because my glucose levels were showing around 100 NPO and my A1C had dropped to around 5.9. Since then, I've stuck to the diet of 1000 - 1200 calories a day - 80 - 100 gms of protein daily, low carbs, no sugar, and getting my liquids in at average 70 oz + a day. Still. No weight loss. So, about last week, my doctor suggested Ozempic. I was Type 2 Diabetic and never on insulin. I've never taken an injection before and frankly, I'm a bit nervous. I'm scared of the side effects. I have some Promethazine anti-nausea on hand, so I guess I'm ready to try it.
I will try to keep you apprised. PS....you were right about being expensive. It was $1,070 for a 2 months supply, without insurance. With insurance and a coupon card, it came out to $115 and it took a literal act of congress to find it at a pharmacy. Thankfully, I found it at Walmart.
My husband has been having heart palpitations, after all kinds of tests they determined he was anemic. You may need to be tested for that. Great job on your weight loss!!
Great job. I started at the same time but didn't do the work but you motivate me to get moving. Keep it up. Thank you for what you do for the community. 💗
I was also 219lbs when I started. I’m down 65 lbs in 2 years. It took me 1 year to lose it. I still need to lose 20lbs but I did this without any exercise. I changed my diet. I’m mainly hungry for healthy stuff. I also cut out Diet Coke and that was a HUGE difference. I had 333 readings fasting and now I’m normal. Well my numbers are, I’m not. 🤣 good luck!🍀
Ooh I drink a lot of Diet Coke. I’m on ozempic now and have lost15 lbs this month. They also changed my thyroid med and added Wellbutrin
Do you still take ozempic?
I cut back drastically on foods/drinks with sweeteners and I lost 30 lbs. I read that sweeteners damage your gut microbiome. A healthy gut microbiome allows you to maintain a healthy weight. Maybe that's why cutting out diet coke worked for you. I have PCOS as well but still lost weight.
@@debbienicholas4372 I drink about 5 or 6 mini diet coke a day. I think this messes up my diet. I've lost 16 pounds in 1 month on Ozempic
I have been on ozempic for one month. I have just increased to .5 and second shot of that today. So far so good. I drink about 2 cans of Diet Coke per day. I love it! Lol I will be 69 this August and have been drinking Diet Coke for at least 40 years! Bad, I know. It seems it is the only thing that quenches my thirst. I have seen a few lbs of weight loss so far. I started at around 207 and am down to 196. I am very happy with this. :)
You are an absolute blessing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My fiance just started the shot today and seeing your videos have been so helpful and inspiring.
I love your honesty !
Thank you for doing this video series! So helpful. I am starting on ozempic this week
I have been taking ozempic for 3 months now and I have dropped 20lbs...the side effects are the worst I'm on 1mg and I love the weight dropping off because nothing else worked.I am solely using it for weight loss and it definitely working😍😍😍😍
how is the weight loss going and the side affects? was it prescribed by a doctor or did you buy it elsewhere?
Did you change your eating habits?
@tiffanyross1652 what are some of your side effects. Mine are horrific. But I dont want to go off of it.
I changed my eating habits a little acid reflux was crazy at first no appetite qweezy yes my DR prescribed it I was boarder line diabetic
I love your honesty! 💗
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Hi. I’m a doctor. The studies on saxenda showed a very small subset of patients had tachycardia. Saxenda and Ozempic are in the same class, glp 1 agonist , and the reason for the elevated heart rate is that there are receptors for Saxenda on your heart. I have not reviewed the clinical trials on Ozempic but it is foreseeable that this is class effect and Ozempic is responsible for your tachycardia
Hi- I’ve been taking Ozempic since February 17. Started with 2.5 for 6 weeks and have gradually gotten to1.0 this past May.
I have list 29 lbs which is great- but find when I’m working in the yard I get dizzy, feel nauseous and end up with dry heaves for about 1-2 minutes. I live in Florida so it is very hot- but have not have this problem before. ACI is 6.1. I’m taking this for pre-diabetes control. Any suggestions
You don't write like you're a doctor lol
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I recently started Wegovy and I thought I was *dying* - it's reassuring to hear that others have had a tough time with the medication, and that it does in fact get better for most!
Thank you for sharing your journey - it’s very helpful to someone just starting out!
Thank you! I hoped it would help anyone who felt anxious about what it would be like!
@@TheHangryWoman well I started today at .25 & I’ll be a little nervous about going up to .5 - but that won’t be a couple of weeks!
I just started it last week and learning about it
I have PCOS and diabetes. I just took my 4th dose of Ozempic yesterday. The nausea seems to come and go randomly. My A1C was 12.9 last month. I still haven’t had bloodwork but my sugar went from as high as 473 to 140’s. I’m excited to step up to .50mg next week but also cautiously because of that nausea. You look great! I haven’t tracked my weight so I’m not sure how much of any I’ve lost but I feel better. I’d recommend it to people who struggle with keeping that A1C down.
Congratulation on your journey and thank you for being a valuable resource for the rest of us.
You are such an encouragement!!! Sooo thankful I came across your video on Ozempic!!
Great honest info. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video! Happy for your health and success with weight loss. Can you do a video on your weight loss journey?
Thank you for answering my question about blood sugar fluctuations! I love the added part about your cholesterol and other blood work test improving! 💖💖
Thank you for asking - it was a great question. I was so excited about seeing my labs so normal. I hope in the next 3 months I have another great bit of progress!
Thank you so much for sharing! Starting ozempic today and was so nervous! You're awesome! ❤
Am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on RUclips, for curing my PCOS sickness within 14days, with your natural supplement ......
I just started my first injection today 😊 hopefully 🙏 I get the results I'm looking for I experienced xxtreme anxiety today after the injection I was a bit dizzy an tired I wish everyone the best
Awww thank you girl for answering my question! I feel honored being mentioned in your video! I’m almost done with my vacation & starting back hardcore on June 14th..going to try the 0.5mg again BUT this time I’m going to make sure I have Bisacodyl (doctor recommended; but can be bought OTC for severe constipation) ready JUST incase! I’m going to try to be good & vlog progress but thank you for all your help! Love your videos! Keep up with the updates ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tiana, this is my absolutely first time commenting on anything RUclips! Altho' I only began taking the Ozempic last Saturday, I've noticed some ppl mention being constipated - have you tried drinking prune juice or beetroot juice? These are great options of high fibre, which you could try. Do let us know if either of these work for you on this journey. Best of luck. Marian
P.s. thank you so much for having this channel! You're a natural on cam!
It's awesome that you're so happy!
I love your videos! You are clear, concise, detailed, open to sharing your experience. You ROCK!!!
Thank you so much!
I lost 60 pounds in 6 months with a dairy free keto diet. I went from 200 lbs to 140 lbs. I eventually got down to 126 lbs with vegan keto.
I was around 18 and I maintained a low weight from 18 to 22 years old. Ive been struggling since because I got off keto because I got married and we were just going out to eat or buying take out all the time. My husband and his family are the types that can eat whatever and not get fat. I'm not like that.
I went on a second weightloss journey and went from 200 lbs to 143 lbs less than a year. But it was slower and harder than the first time on keto. I was 24 to 25 at the time. I gained weight again because my husband got a new job and I no longer work at all and after work he would take me out to eat.
Right now I am 26 and around 185 lbs. And I will tell you this has been the hardest weightloss journey ever. I have to be a bit more extreme. I'm on a O carb keto carnivore diet. But I'm also looking into ozempic or others like it. I promised myself I will never deviate from my diet ever again, I hate being more than 150 lbs. I'm 5'5. Between 125 to 135 lbs is where I would like to stay for good!
We're getting a new health insurance this month. Hopefully they will cover it and give me at least a 4 to 6 month supply.
Just started taking Ozempic, thanks for doing this video. Makes me feel better taking this medication.
Best of luck with taking it, Martin! I hope you see the changes you want to see.
Good to see u I'm starting on .50 this week wit your help we will c how it goes on .25 all my syptoms were mild nausea but I slept a whole lot mild dizziness but after 3 day I was bk normal
So in following wit u every week
@@TheHangryWoman can you please give us an update on your heart palpitations? Are you, or were you on high blood pressure medication when you had the palps?
Thank you for the great information and wish you well as you continue this journey! By the way you look fierce.
Started today. Thank you for video.
Thank you! I'm so glad RUclips suggested this video. I took my second ever dose today and I'm already down 5lbs
I just started Ozempic a week ago. So far so good ☺️ I just found your video and is very inspirational ☺️
You give me hope!
Thank You! I hope you are doing good 💖
Started it this week. Watching this and reading all the comments below gives me a little hope and comfort that this is going to help. Great content!
That's what i'd hoped. The unknown is so scary, and I wanted people to know what was ahead of them. Thanks for watching!
You are such a lovely young woman and only wish I would have found you sooner. I have been on Ozempic since November and had terrible side effects, but once my body adjusted, I was fine. I have lost 30 pounds as of yesterday and I am so happy. You are full of wonderful information and I will follow you forever. I am so grateful I found you!
Thank you for this video.. I'm type 2 but I'm on victoza, I hope Olzempic keep working for you.
You're a great person. It shines through. Thank you for your help with this
Wow, thank you so much.
I've watched your videos and appreciate all of this. I've been on ozempic 1 yr.
I lost 29lbs. and now I've gained back 10lbs. It's not working anymore at .50 dosage. I have trouble with the same symptoms. I'm afraid to go up to 1. I'm just down bcuz it's not working anymore. Can handle more food now like it's not working anymore. All the symptoms have stopped. Nausea was pretty bad. I'm so glad it's working for you. So I don't know how long it works.At 1 year it's not working anymore. 1st month was the worst! I'm bummed out now. 180 down to 150. Back to 160. Definitely nausea is the worst! Thanks again. 🙂💖🌹
Just spoke with my doctor and am starting Ozempic. Have watch commercials but wanted more info. You provided everything I needed. Thanks so much! Wishing you continued success.
Thank you so much for sharing !! Way to go getting healthy!!!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Ohhhh my!! I just watched your 2 month update after being prescribed ozempic... And you made a new update 1 hour ago! AMAZING!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay! Just in time! I’m hoping I can keep covering it to give people an idea of how it goes over time!
@@TheHangryWoman that would be amazing! There really aren't enough personal video blogs about this! Only very dry medical videos and Jillian Michael's with a very negative stance on semaglutide! I took my first 0.25 dose today hopeful for great results for pre-diabetes and weight loss. Keep up the amazing informal vids! Subscribed ❤️
Hi sweetie I'm so glad I found your RUclips page I've been on ozempic for 3 weeks and already lost 9 pounds I was 244 and now I'm 235 I take mine on Saturdays, I've been having nausea and dizzy for a little bit but it has passed, I've read alot of people have been constipated on ozempic but with me I was constipated alot before and now since ozempic I'm super regular lol love it and keep up the good work you look fantastic 💖
did you start on .25mg. I just started today and I began at .25
I made it to the end of your video! Thanks for all the information and being an open book.
Started Ozempic today. Thanks for videos
Good luck!
Proud of you Sis!
This was such a helpful video. My docs are considering putting me on this now for prediabetes, and it’s very helpful to hear your experience. Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations young lady!
Thank you!
Great recap-,thank yo!
Thanks for the video, very useful,
Have just started on Ozempic, I’m on week two of 0.25 dose. I can see an improvement in my readings already. A little bit of nausea, but nothing else so far.
My primary goal is to keep the HBA1c under control, but would welcome weight loss if it happens.
Thank you for posting your journey I am about to take my next injection moving up my dosage to the .5. I did see your last video about this jump and I cannot thank you enough for sharing this. I have an amazing doctor who has shared with me things to expect but it helps so much to hear from someone experiencing it. I’m type 2 since 2019. I’m also on the journey of bariatric surgery as well. This medication is just another way for us to keep moving on this journey of weight loss. Upon my first diagnosis I was able to bring my A1C down from almost 11 to 5 on my own in 6 months. I lost some weight but thru covid I gained a lot of that back and so I’m glad my doctor has been working alongside me to decide the best ways to keep going. I’m Native American and so seeing diabetes find it’s way into my life was heartbreaking at first but now I feel it’s really centered my connection to my physical body in a way that I never appreciated before. Even though I still do plan to get surgery I hope that ozempic will help me be in the best place for recovery and other things I’ll experience after surgery.
Anyway, thank you for sharing your journey. It has been so very helpful. I’ll keep a good watch for this next dosage, so, good looking out!
hi Gina, i was wondering how are things going for you and if you had any bariatric surgery prior to taking any of these medications
Im taking it too, i am happy to know this and experience too
Mila!! I'm so happy for you that you found a medication to help you on your journey and that you are seeing some REAL results! I love following your journey and can't wait to see things continue to improve!
Great video , still having some nausea kinda scared to move to -05 but I will just hate the burps and sick feeling , love your videos , plenty of encouragement thank you
I hope it gets better, Nanette!
Hello! Thankful that I found you . Started my journey today with ozempic for weight loss. Long story but it seems to be the only thing that may help ( I’m active, all lab numbers are great). Will look forward to following your journey
Any updates ?
Great info thanks so much all of your posts are just awesome thank u thank u.....god bless
Thanks for the video, this medicine will be lifesaving for many so its good to have people talking about it
I'm starting ozempic this week. Your content has been so helpful! I'm super nervous!
Thank you so much for this helpful info! My first week and so far had nausea, slight headache and tiredness. I am hoping it will get better with weeks to come. The tiredness has so far been the most draining. Looking forward to the weight loss the most. 17 years of being obese to work on but taking it day by day. This has been really helpful and so has the comments.
I just had my first shot today and took a long nap. Not typical for me. I was wondering it if was related. That and I feel like I need to fart my brains out. My stomach feels like a basket ball.
I started Ozempic for insulin resistance this week. I'm only just getting nausea atm and I take a mylanta to go chewable tablet. It settles my stomach pretty quick.
I like your RUclips videos
My doctor just told me about this today to help with just weight loss. He told me to look it up and get back to him if I wanted to start Ozempic. Thank you for posting this video I really appreciate it
I've been prescribed Ozempic for weight loss, normal glucose and A1C but need to shed about 60+ lbs. Very helpful information and you're a great spokesperson for your condition and treatment. Thank you so much!
I came across your journey today while i was looking for an injection tutorial. I was literally given some trial doses by my dr today 23dec21. Hopefully my journey will be as successful because I'm alergic to some of the t2 medicines and my levels fasting are from 265 to over 450. I'm a 224lbs 5'10" 49 year old female with t2 since 2008. I have always had a large frame at 12 years old i weighed 124lbs but i was already 5'07". There was a medical procedure/donation that ruined my life, just as advice when you're asked to sign a waiver before a procedure maybe think twice.😢because no one can return your complete health back, specially without medications. Many blessings to all.
Thank you so much for your openness and help. I'm starting Ozempic today and found your videos as I was looking for more info instead of trying to process the info that comes with the meds. I definitely need to take my before and after pics and do a good job of tracking what I'm doing and how I'm feeling after watching your videos. I'm excited to see how this helps me to regain control of my life and move forward again.
Do you have an update for us? I would like to know how you are doing after 3 months. I will be starting this soon. I would like to see results by Christmas ;)
great vid thanks,i have now been taking ozempic for 2 months and i have lost nearly 2 stone and feel fantastic
Hi! I just want to say how much I appreciate you doing these videos! My doctor had suggested Ozempic when it was first released and I really hesitated because of the lack of information out there. I saw your 2 month update and was like okay I am going to give this a try. I lost my mother due to diabetic complications and I don't want to end up like that. But your video gave me the final push I needed! This is 3 week for me and I've lost 9 pounds. I have been pre-diabetic since I was 14 with an A1C of 5.6.
Thank you again for the videos and please update us with your journey along the way!
Hello, thank you for making this review. I started my Ozempic 5 days ago on Friday July 2nd 2021. Today is Wednesday July 7th 2021 and when I first injected myself I felt this cool sensation kind of like the feeling you get after you brush your teeth and gargle with mouth wash. That is the cool sensation I felt in my stomach on the injection side. Now, today on the 5th day I did experience the nausea for the first time. So I will see how the rest of my first month will go. Everything you have experienced that you've stated in the video has been right on. I am also on phentermine along with my Ozempic. I have lost a total of 24lbs since May 30th 2021 when I started on phentermine and currently taking both since July 2nd 2021.
Thank you for this. New Endo is switching me from Rybelsus to Ozempic with the hopes of less nausea and more weight loss.
You look amazing thank you so much for your videos it's a pleasure and great encouragement to watch you.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind comment.
Omg I am astonished at the price. My partner is so lucky here in Ireland who has just started ozempic gets it free as patients with long term illnesses do not have to pay for their medication. Thanks for the useful information in your video.
I've lost 7.5kg (15 pounds) over 10 weeks on Ozempic. In Australia I only pay AUD$165 per pen (one month of doses) approx US$125. We have Medicare (a universal health system). It blows my mind that the USA *still* doesn't have universal health care. (You all need to lobby your representatives). In Australia, we are also able to purchase private health cover, while still accessing Medicare. I'm pretty sure the balance of any medication over AUD$40 can be claimed back on top cover private health care. Australia is one of the best countries in the world. 🇦🇺
I live in the uk and don’t pay a penny! The uk NHS is the best!
@@nellsmith7064 do you have diabetes? It's almost fully covered in Australia for those with diabetes and a health care concession card.
@@beatricet5682 I do indeed have diabetes, it’s a diabetic medication after all. If I weren’t it would cost me the grand sum of £9.35pcm
@@nellsmith7064 so it's similar to Australia. Thanks for the update.
I paid $30 USD for a 90 day supply. Covered by my health insurance
I am proud of you and that is great. Congratulations! 🙏🏽🙌🏽😍
Your videos had popped up on my suggestions to watch. I went to see my endocrinologist yesterday and he gave me a trial. Today was my first dose and so far no nausea, but I was also on victoza so my body may have been used to a similar medication. I also habe PCOS so I am hopeful that this medication will help me with some weightloss. Thank you for sharing your experience
I love this video! I know its a year ago. But its great to still have it up! I currently take Ozempic since October 2022 (just started) and this video gives me some strength.
Hi Mila, thanks for another video. I’m glad the ozempic is working for you. Yes it is important to keep a community of us involved to have resources. I lost 8 more pounds now down to 228 from 263 when I started. I work nights and I thought for sure I was going to gain weight. But I’m a lineman and I climb poles and also I walk a lot at work, basically a mixture of driving physical activity. But yes I have been eating bad sometimes and Ozempic does remind me if that food is that bad. Lol. My worry is if my Doctor ever takes me off ozempic will I gain the weight back? Also can you be taken off Ozempic?
I’m glad your health is stable.
Hi, Lisa from Sweden here! Just wanted to thank u for telling ur honest experience about Ozempic! ❤ Be well!
Thank you Lisa!
Thank you so much for charing your journey w Ozempic. Just started with O this week and its so new medicine here I can't really find any information about it. The price over here in Finland per month is 125€ (148 USD) and the health insurance covers about 40% if you use it because diabetes.
Thank you for posting this. I was just started on Ozempic last week. I had one bout of nausea and a horrible headache. Took my 2nd dose today and so far so good.

Thankyou so much for your videos! I have insulin resistance and started Ozempic on April 26, 2021 and so far I have lost about 15 pounds (1month + 1 week). I initially found you by youtubing how to administer Ozempic!! Your videos have been very helpful, thankyou for sharing everything!
Thank you for this video, very informative! I started Ozempic 2 weeks ago and am excited to see how it will help me! God Bless you!
Thanks for the video. I realize I was doing it wrong, until I followed your instructions.
I just stumbled upon your two month check up video and watched it through to the end and I must say you are a wealth of information and inspiration!!! You should do diabetes education as a career, or volunteer position if you already have a different career, if you don’t already because you break things down into the bite-size pieces that helps people learn the best. I am a registered nurse and truly loved your explanation of the type of diabetes that you have!! I will also say that there is pretty much no information available, to the general public, and that is where you and people like you could be a Godsend for those out there who have nowhere to turn for information and the medical level information is way to complex for them. The medical field NEEDS educators like you, I do hope that you will consider it in some small way. You look absolutely fantastic and I only hope that you feel better and better, in your body and at whatever the right weight might be for you, each and every day. Take care 😊❤️
Thank you so much for this! I would love to go back to school for it, but it's so expensive and there aren't many scholarships to help pay for school. I figure I can share what I know as a person living it, and try to be as educated as possible explaining it! 💕
Hi I’m so happy to come across your video this has definitely helped me to be at ease. I start my ozempic injections on Sunday. I’m 44 yrs old and I’m a type 2 diabetic mellitus. I became a diabetic after giving birth to my 2 soon to be 3yr old son. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my pregnancy. I got up to 300lbs. I’m currently at 225 and I have struggled with loosing weight so my doctor wanted me to try ozempic so here I am. I’m also taking Metformin 2 times daily each week it will increase. My goal is not only to loose the weight but not having to be a diabetic. I lost my mom due to diabetes she was only 47 years old so of course it scares me. I will be 45 next month and have been stressing and struggling about weight loss. I’m excited to start and looking forward to putting in work for great results. Thank you so much for sharing your journey🤗
I’m going to start today I can’t wait !!!!! I’ll keep you updated.
You are so sweet and you are looking great!Thank you very much for your videos. 🤩
Talked to my doctor About Ozempic and I will be taking my second dose tomorrow. I’m down 6 lbs in a week. I hope I don’t peak at a weight and start gaining it back. You got a new subscriber out of me!
You’re adorable I love your disposition throughout this process and I’m happy to see you’ve been happy/healthier. I’ve been struggling with hormones and my thyroid and cortisol and testosterone are out of whack…. And my doctor wants to put me on these to lose weight and see if my testosterone levels get normal … I’m a bit frightened bc I have a trip next month and idk if I wanna risk feeling like this bu then… also So far this med is so expensive ;/
This is amazing. Congratulations.
