I perhaps should add that I am on a clinical trial.

4 weeks at 3mg, followed by 8 weeks at 7mg,

Followed by either, continued Ozempic, or a placebo for a designated period of time.

Mine arrived today. Out for a meal for my lads 11th birthday on Monday. Would I be better starting after that? Could potential side effects ruin it?

[Darnhill Claret]

Either start Tuesday or Sunday.
If you have a reaction tomorrow you can make a further decision Monday morning.
I thought I'd had a reaction. A tingling in my left palm, just below my little finger, but I think it was most likely an overactive imagination.
For me, the Ozempic tablet has a powdery covering which is a little unpleasant, but that's me being picky.
I think I'll know if they put me on a placebo.

On my first week I haven't changed my diet at all, but have found no desire to snack, or eat after my evening meal.

I’m on a healthy diet anyway but it’s the days when I just lose it and binge that scuppers me. Hoping it sorts those binge feeling’s out.

What does it do regarding alcohol consumption?

On the lower doses it made me feel a bit sick. Prob cos I still ate a decent amount

Higher dose no issues, although 5 is prob my limit now

So, feeling sick because you don't eat needs ameliorating by taking more drugs to make sure you don't eat. It's a strange world.

Have you used it or are you just here to throw your opinion about? You clearly have no idea what goes on in people’s heads and lives.

What? I didn't feel sick because I didn't eat?

I felt sick because I ate decent and drank. Now I'm eating less I don't feel sick when I drink

2 weeks in and 10lb lighter. I can’t get my head around it to be honest. Had a few side effects last week but I’m blown away by it. It’s completely taken away the urge to binge on rubbish. Still been cycling and walking so that’s obviously helped. It’s certainly doing what I wanted it to.

Thought this thread had died a natural death, so didn't update my current weight (loss).

June 21st, 16st 7
June 28th, 16st 3
July 5th, 16st 1
July 12th, 15st 13

15 years since I was under 16st, so very happy with the loss, and happy that it's nice and gradual.

Will be joining my local gym at month end. Popped down yesterday to have a look around.

I’ve been on it 3 months and lost 32lbs. I’ve dieted before and around this time I would be obsessed with all the things I wasn’t having. On MJ that is simply not a thing. I eat a small portion of whatever I fancy and feel satisfied. In fact I sometimes have to remember to eat. Lots of chicken in my diet because that is what tastes the best. Alcohol, fatty and sweet founds have lost their appeal.
