How Manu units do you take? I just starred. I'm a type 2 diabetic.

[@BallastBP]

I’m on week nine of Wegovy and have lost about 10lbs. I have auto immune disease and chronic inflammation. The first effect i noticed was a reduction in the inflammation symptoms that i typically feel - fluid retention and bloating. I feel like my lymphatic system is also working more efficiently. I’m realizing it’s super important to stay hydrated. That’s always important but seems to play key in Wegovy success. Thanks for these tips Dr. Yeung!

[@smc130]

I have Lupus and have also noticed a definite decrease in inflammation. Since my blood sugar and A1C are much improved into normal ranges on Wegovy or Ozempic. I have been recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes rather than insulin resistance because I need the medication to maintain control. I have lost 30 pounds over 6 months. It works for me.

Thanks for the info Little Ninja ! What’s your autoimmune disease? I also have have an autoimmune problem (psoriasis skin and internal inflammation) and I’m eager to try something to ease the inflammation

[@BallastBP]

@@mtm-hi5nm I deal with thyroid and psoriatic arthritis and general inflammation issues as a result of the two conditions. I'm going on 10 months now, and have seen a dramatic improvement in my my inflammatory markers, my thyroid is much more stable, and my slightly high cholesterol is no longer an issue. I've also been able to drop 35lbs (my goal was 25) and I feel fantastic. Now I'm working on strength training to replace all tha fluff with some healthy muscle. If you decide to go this route, make sure you stay well hydrated, expect to deal with some nausea and discomfort as your body adjusts, and know that in the long run this can be nothing short of life changing!

Very good video. I started two weeks ago, I'm a male 167cm and I weighed in at 86KG when I went for the check. I barely made it with a BMI of 30. which is the minium BMI you need to have to use it here in Denmark. In my first week and a half ish, I've lost 4kg. Which by the sound of it is maybe too rapid. Unless it's mostly fluids. If anyone out there is considering it, don't hesitate to go on it. I've had very few sideeffects, and overall feels very good. I may not be eating as much as I should, but I guess that's good. Eating mostly tuna and red meat with lot's of salad. Great video, Dr. Brian Yeung :) I'll do some adjustments. Very informative.

[@flamingcherryc]

20 pounds is about the amount of water weight most people loose on keto because your body stores carbs with water. It's frustrating because people get excited about the weight loss (even though it's mostly water), but the brain prefers glucose and will slow down the metabolism when it realizes it's being deprived of that macro, and instead starts to store more fat. When I was in medical school we were told it was the most dangerous fad diet we've seen, especially harmful to the cardiovascular system.

@@char90303 - Thank you very much! I've heard that it takes away your appetite. I've had only one shot so far and since it's only a once a week shot I'm not sure I've had time to experience the full effects of the shot yet. I'm starting on 5 units for 4 weeks, then 10 units for 4 weeks, then 20 for the rest of the time. The morning after my first shot I woke up not feeling too good and I wasn't hungry at all. I drank my morning coffee as usual but had nothing to eat. We had my daughter's baby shower later in the day and I ate at that but not a lot and I didn't have a lot to eat that night either. I haven't lost my appetite but have noticed that I am still hungry but seem to be satisfied after I eat and I'm not snacking between meals or eating late at night like I was - and this is after only one shot. I'd like to cut down on what I'm eating and it seems that hasn't yet happened. I'm still eating the same amount for dinner but I guess at least not snacking means I am eating less.

I also incorporate yoga routine which increase balance, strength and flexibility several times weekly to help decrease fatigue and increase endurance. I found that I am dropping about 10 pounds so far since starting and am steadfast to reaching my weight loss goals. I am diabetic and main reason why I am on this medication. I am hopeful and do not feed into the other comments and information that may or may not be true. Some people seem to have mental health effects. Remember mind is stronger than anything else. If you believe this to be worthy to help in a healthy balance to care for yourself then please follow through and continue your journey. Just like all other medications there is no one size fits all approach to anything. Keep trying and make lifestyle changes, including eating a healthy by balance of greens, proteins meats and fats. Must have all components or you will be deficient. Lastly exercise is healthy by anyway. Utilize all types of approaches including swimming, stretching, biking and walking. There is no one size fits all. But if you make a small change to improve your health encouraging healthy habits you will see progress. Keep trying don’t give up!!

[@FaydraGirl]

Tldr: eat heavy meals like he said. Fat is great especially. I think if it like a camel storing water. Fill the tank to the top and slowly use the energy until empty and start again. Read on if you want to read about my theories and ideas on how I lost 95lbs so far. Over 8 months. I've been on 1mg Ozempic for about 8 months now. I've lost 95lbs. I started eating whatever I wanted. Usual 2 burgers and fries randomly or similar and found that due to the slow digestion of food one fast food meal would totally tide me over for 1 to 2 days before I got hungry enough. Id nibble of course (I didn't need to, I stopped the snacks altogether when I realized I was still digesting my last meal) but it was amazing. Now, there was a time I ran out of food and money and started eating leaner. Everything got messed up and I would binge more due to the low fat food that digsted too fast. I plateaued and even gain a few pounds. So yes, it seems weird but a nice heavy meal takes its time digesting and provides a steady stream of energy without all the blood sugar fluctuations from eating all the time. You honestly don't feel like eating and probably won't for a day. Picture this: that amazing satisfied feeling you get after eating a proper meal? And how you feel full until next meal time? That's what it feels like when you are digesting a meal over much longer time. If someone mentions food its repulsive. Not because you are sick, but you genuinely feel satiated until the next day or two. So you eat a fulfilling meal of 1200 to 1600 calories if you really push it. Now divide those calories by the days it takes to feel hungry again. If you eat leaner you are defeating the purpose as you aren't getting the benefit of nice steady sugar levels. So you end up eating way more calories than the big satisfying meal that makes you full forever. I will suddenly think about the fact that I didn't think about food even once in the day or two. Please note: I HATE eating and always resented having to eat to manage my hypoglycemia. This is no longer the case and no longer have spend half my life worrying about food. So your mileage may vary. I'm already predisposes to not wanting food. 100% believe now that eating light and "healthy" completety sabotages the benefits of nice slow digestion and a steady stream of energy. I'm back to normal now losing weight. What a weird experiment I got forced into ha. Make sure you pay attention to your nutrition and talk to your doctor about what supplements to take as you are no longer eating as much or varied foods.

[@davidjamesthomas]

my doctor said 5 small meals low fat. I'm so confused what to do. fat or no fat

[@FaydraGirl]

@@davidjamesthomas whoops. I didn't see your comment. There are a few doctors talking about this. Try that first if you want, but try the big meal, preferrably around lunch. That diet you mentioned is for when you've reached your goals. I just wanted to let people know how I was most successful. Your goal is to keep your bloodsugar steady. Whenever you eat you are interrupting the process. So a nice meal of meat and potatoes can take 24 hours to digest so getting hungry isn't a thing. So you eat when you get hungry and eat what you want. So try both ways. I found if I ate small means my weight loss stopped. This drug is still being studied still. I just want to offer ideas on how I've lost 115lbs now.

Works great for me but you have to do the work to achieve your goal.

[@bosco_jryder]

I have just started 1 week in. This in my opinion is the best comment. I followed your comment to the T just added 32 ozs of water/ electrolytes in the morning. No side effects. So Thank you for your wise words of advice.

[@edinnybih75]

1200 calories? LOL

[@betinagarza7999]

thank you for the information💯💖

[@CyberMonty2077]

Im diabetic and started taking Ozempic about two months ago. I’ve cut out all junk food and have replaced “snacks” with bran flakes. The first two weeks were rough with the symptoms of nausea. Now I only feel nauseous when brushing my back teeth. 😅

[@lisatykane4365]

I'm thinking of starting Ozempic. I'm 52 years old and thin but I have gained about 20 menopausal pounds in the last few years and just can't get them off. My question is, is it okay to use Ozempic when you are not overly overweight?

[@penniesjourney4lyfe748]

You have a very pleasant voice ,

[@April-xs9tk]

I’ve lost 8 pounds my first week. Incredible

[@Gyurban_Flektor]

I've drink a glass of water before every eat + I keep keto diet up. After 3 months I lost 18kg started from from 134kg. Im 38 years old, male. Without Wegovy or Ozempic.

[@bettypro]

Im losing 6lbs a month on wegovey. Im making better food choices and feel better physically and am doing more and mentally I want to get out and do more. I have resolved myself to when I stop the same eating habits need to continue along with moving. I do have an aversion to sweets high fat foods and a real LARGE aversion to Alchohol I dont drink more then a couple of drinks a month but now it just doesnt intrest me and I hope it helps those with problems with Alcohol I have heard rumours that it has made a difference with some people. I have had the hair loss and am looking forward with it reversing !!

[@aProudOG]

Just had my second dose of Wegovy having started a week ago. I’m 77 years old, 6’4”, 330 lbs. Up until 6 months ago I had been on a “loose” keto diet for about three years and lost about 40 lbs during that timeframe, from 340 to 228. But when I got burned out on keto and started eating normally, the weight came back almost immediately. With Wegovy, I’m hoping to get back down to 300 while watching my diet closely but have no motivation to try keto again. Also, I’m a Type 2 diabetic and was told to stop taking Januvia once I started Wegovy. I’ve done that but my blood sugar has increased significantly leaving me feeling very fatigued the last few days. Comments?

[@Maskaraj]

I want to start Wegovy soon but I want the weight loss to be on the slower side. I also want to have a normal calorie diet with exercise. I do not want to mess this up and backslide.

[@sevenhunt3787]

You are good 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@undeadson8119]

4weeks 3Mg, 4weeks 7mg of Rybelsus, 0kg weight loss. Now third day in 14Mg. A bit disappointed by the results so far but really hoping it to work on higher dosage.

[@leeanne1703]

I ask my doctor about Ozempic but one of the conditions I have is IBS and he said it would give me stomach ache. What do you think?

[@pammyj6967]

Try Metamucil every day (I have Crohns) I also use B12 spray. It seems to have helped with the exhaustion I’ve been experiencing.

[@terrybaddley4616]

I started ozempic last week and had made crave sweets. Will it stop?

[@Martinbeef]

I have been on Wegovy for 9 months. I found it very difficult to lose weight because my mental health was so badly affected. In addition, I had very severe constipation. I battled very hard to lose weight and paid for a therapist too. However, I had to stop because the depression and suicidal ideation have been extremely difficult. I would suggest that anyone with mental health issues think very carefully and take advice before starting this or Liraglutide. I have lost 2 years of my life to these medications. Please be careful.

[@Donnaconrad1]

Help. I ended up losing my gallbladder after ozempic. I was told I can go back on the medication. Can I get your thoughts please????

[@YeiReeves]

I had my gallbladder removed yrs ago. And I'm on Wegovy no problems

[@jenniferdomain254]

Had my gallbladder removed last year. I'm on ozempic for diabetes, no problems.

[@mamiijayy308]

…. Wait… you lost a whole organ from this medicine….. and you want to go back on it????? WTH??? 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@kellycorona1185]

If you've already been eating a keto diet for years, will it be ok to continue it when starting Wegovy? Or will I still have to work up to it?

[@TheDupresdoDisney]

I’ve not changed what I eat at all, just eat less. Actually my diet is prob pretty terrible. Exercise? Nope not even a little. I’ve lost 30% of my body weight (50 pounds) in 6 months so …. Not sure if trying to scare people from trying or what but definitely not the case for everyone. Or any of the people I know on this stuff.

[@afdoca]

If you’re not adjusting your life style, you will regain the weight once you’re off the medication

[@JuanitaHuton]

I started ozempic last week so today is my second injection and I didn't feel any pinch like I did last injection so I wonder if I did it right 😢

[@dianamiracle7570]

I am disabled and have had four back surgeries and they say I need another one on the way which is supposed to be more severe surgery or more complicated I am on the shot and it’s hard for me to exercise. I also can’t afford it anymore and need to know if I there’s a place where I can go to take my health insurance for it.

Sweets which I loved now turns me off. Down 15 lbs one month. Otherwise feel nothing bad

[@debbie2455]

My name is Deb. I’m starting this medication tomorrow I have several diagnoses wrong with me but my doctors believe if I lose 30 pounds that I gained my pain. I’m a little nervous to start it. I’m also in menopause and take a lot of medication. So I’m really nervous. Any advice from anyone will be helpful. Thank you Deb 😢

[@nunyabidness5505]

Im more addicted to carbs. Sweets are whatever but i love potatoes in all forms

[@jennytaylor225]

I started Ozempic last April. I plateaued in October (2023) upped my dosage, and it was horrible. Terrible upset stomach, pounding headache. My appetite increased, including sweets. I thought it would level out but it didn't. I went to the pharmacy for information. Went off Ozempic for 1 week then lowered my dose. My headache are not as bad, but still linger in the morning. I wake up with a upset stomack. My appetite has increased and my sweet tooth is destroying me, it seem like i have absolutely no control....I have gained all the weight I have lost. Please help!.. I am still taking Ozempic and wishing it will get better?.. What can I do?...

[@theunboxnetwork]

Eat protein

[@pammyj6967]

Try LMNT

[@ButterBearsCupcakery]

Do you have to start at .25? My doc started me at 1mg and I have not seen any reduction

[@barryN69]

If you’re working out to gain weight/ size is it worth taking wegovy?? I just bought a huge bag of weight gainer. Fat loss will be a plus

[@Illuminati089]

Is anyone taking Ozempic with glipizide and metformin at the same time? Any side affects if you're on the 3? Im going on Ozempic soon, the goal is to eliminate glipizide as wel as lower my a1c since my mobility prevents excercise.

[@stephenray9117]

I'm on ozipic to help my sugar level and it works for that but haven't loss 1 pound.

[@tdotwire101]

can people take ozempic and b12 injection shots at the same time?

[@Bre____97]

Yes that’s what I’m doing

[@jupitershark2636]

I do it.

[@luvsgod2]

Yes

[@SAnn1747]

why, is b12 recommended while taking this drug?

[@luvsgod2]

@bre9199 it decreases side effects.

[@chadelaeva]

Advice for constipation?

[@iammsteenie6183]

Fiber supplements daily, also magnesium citrate at night helps as well…😊

[@MLMLW]

Miralax is good. It works naturally with you body to get things moving. I've heard Metamucil is good, too.

[@msaijay1153]

Water,water,water

[@cindywong3071]

I have serious constipation with saxenda. I got to use senokot or ducolax every week.

[@trae74]

Wow, you sound just Dr Fung!

[@occir76]

I have been on it for 3 weeks, no weight loss at all

[@bobboscarato1313]

It can take at least three months before drug kicks in. Eventually you'll start to lose weight. Maybe 12 to 15 lbs. Don't believe those claiming they lost 50 or 80 lbs. in six months because they're bragging! Human nature!

[@Iris-vo5gd]

I lost almost 20 pounds in about almost 3 months on wegovy. I got just a few more to go before I quit the medication. I'm not sure if it's too fast or not of a weight loss. Most of the time I'm feeling weak, dizzy, fatigued add nauseous, experiencing headaches, a very decreased appetite which makes me hardly eat cause I feel like I'm full, want to throw up and have extreme heartburns add pressure in my stomach since I'm constipated. I'm definitely not getting enough protein even though I'm trying to eat enough like fat cheeses, chicken and fish or just a small amount of vegetables so I will get my fibers and I drink lots of water. But I still can't get enough protein and I'm too weak to exercise since it's even hard to do my daily simple tasks on the medication. Could it be that I'm losing weight too fast and I should quit?

[@marybethcolvin5298]

Does CBD work with monjaro or hurt the effects. Asking for a friend 😮

[@tunesbymohitkalra2682]

In the bet there is no where mentioned how to schedule the medication , how much does per week .. for till how long .. please can you help .

[@tunesbymohitkalra2682]

I am 264 pounds .. 6 ft tall male

[@marymarsh7633]

This is excellent information. Thank you. I take 20 mg a day of hydrocortisone for adrenal insufficiency. How would use of Ozempic interact with my RX?

[@SJ-le2vc]

I have the same... Curious, too.

[@DHSplate]

1:36 each of the studied you circled which touched the vertical line on the Forrest plot are insignificant studies. Please brush up your stats.

[@triad6425]

Low carb, high protein, and if you consume fat stick to high quality butter like Kerry gold, olive oil, coconut oil. Have lost 6 pounds in a week and want to slow it down a bit.

[@JacquelineJackson-n2y]

Can you take Golo and Glipzide with Ozempic?

[@javierruiz1710]

Will gympic is the most dangerous drug?I've ever encountered

[@arro6592]

Or just go whole foods plant base which should be any healthy diet going forward after stopping. To stay on what a healthy diet is means you aren’t going to go back to how you were before when you stop the ‘diet’.

[@juditht1145]

I'm in wegovy and I'm not hungry so I eat salads and lot of fluids

[@LeslieHammonds-f4r]

How does alcohol affect Ozympic? Such as white wine?

[@pammyj6967]

The package information says NO ALCOHOL.

[@kiri92azel]

Just started (first month) just stumbeled on vids about it 😅 dint know what it did. I thouth i was deprest and lazy since i havent been snacking. Im not dieting but due to little money i switched over to making okonomiaki adjasent food most days as i thouth it be the simplest and cheepest way to get vegies. Due to this i HAVE to "make" my food from scratch witch means i gota do stuff 😅 so i thouth i was ignoring my hunger due to beeing lazy 😂 But semes i be experiensing more of this 🤔 its grate and al that i dont feel the need to dig in to snacks (potato chrisps and other savory)

[@landelamabena1553]

What is the difference between 0.25 to 3mg ozempic ?

[@maybou23]

I have an iron deficiency, my ferritin is very low 6, can I take Ozempic or Wegovy?

[@schzx14]

We GO vee. GO , not guh. Thank you for your understanding.

[@oburney2607]

One of the main reason why some people may not see results with ozempic is because they are taking it for the wrong reason, mainly for weight loss when it is design for type 2 diabetes and may help with weight lose obesity with those who have type 2 diabetes.

[@sharonlofton8645]

Usually weight is the reason you are diabetic right? Most times people who are overweight have a higher chance of being diabetic and they are encouraged to lose the weight to bring the levels down. Right?

[@oburney2607]

@sharonlofton8645 Weight is not always the reason for a person being diabetic

[@Theoanno7]

​@@sharonlofton8645Not true. There are several factors, genetics included.

[@blackpearlstay]

Best try with wegovy then? My doc said theres ozempic shortages and its important for diabetics to get it so she wont put non diabetic patients on ozempic
