Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro - Tips on How to Succeed - Part 2

Hello everyone!
I am so excited to share with you some new Dr. O Tips and Tricks in my new video!
In this video I give you some insights as to what is happening and what you can do to change things around when you have stopped loosing weight while on Wegovy, Ozempic or Mounjaro.
I also talk about the role nutrition and metabolism play in your weight-loss journey. (hint: it's a big role!), and how understanding these changes in your nutrition and metabolism can help you to succeed on your weight loss journey.
I really hope you enjoy, and thank you all for watching!
With Warm Regards,
Dr. O

Who are these physicians actually willing to discuss things? All the doctors I’ve been to just rush you through and hand you drugs.

[@ThatBetchEllie]

You just have to shop around i finally found a great Dr he's an older gentleman but he's wonderful

[@NYCTalkingcom]

Doctor O is in NYC. I went to her recently and she is legit about spending time with you. I love her approach and I’ve been driving her nuts with messages. She’s great though.

[@srezzy1326]

Welcome to America! Drug pushers no healing done here.

[@ratedn4nia]

Doctors have a schedule of patients to see in a day and they have 20 minutes per patient. However, if you schedule an appointment and you are willing to wait even longer to be seen (more than 20 minutes push it to 1hr or 2hrs) then maybe doctors can spend much longer talking to you while you are in there office.

[@contessa2806]

I have a wonderful immunologist primary Dr I see and when I mentioned it she gave me so much information. Set up a time and script at the local compound pharma and they pharmacist spent time asking me questions and explaining everything! I wish you luck and hopefully you can find a good MD.

[@ashleyclarke1123]

Your videos have been more helpful than most of the information I've learned most of my life. Thank you for being so positive/hopeful but also helpful!

[@leadimentoobrien1221]

Ohhhhh she is so helpful!!

[@yvonnedonaldson53]

Thank you for this information. I’m dealing with this issue right now. The scale is not moving, but I’m eating less. I’m going to take your advice and measure myself and increase my protein intake. What I like about your videos is that you break down the information so we can understand what the drug is doing. Oh, I just started Pilates so that should help. We see next month. Have a blessed day.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Thank you so much for your kind words and good luck in your weight-loss journey!

[@keba466]

Hi Great video... My first time seeing your video. I do have question. How do you deal with weight loss when you suffer from hypothyroidism?? Having this is depressing when it comes to weight loss. Any advice will help! Thanks

[@thedr.omethod4534]

@keba466 I really hope you get this. The location of your question is such that I can not reply directly to you, since you replied to another comment. Regarding your question about having hypothyroidism and managing weight loss at the same time, I can tell you that I have had patients with both hypothyroidism and difficulty managing their weight. The good news is that these patients have had a tremendous result using these medications. In the end, if you eat less, you lose weight and that is what these medicines can help you do. I would urge you to discuss this matter further with your physician to see if you are a candidate for these medicines, and if they can help you on your weight loss journey. I hope you find this response and that it is helpful. I wish you all the best of good health!!

Thank you!!!

[@deeveriamoore2205]

Thank you

[@penelopengqwebo3280]

Thanks a lot Dr I am starting on Monday should I do the vitamin B12 before I start?

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi!!! I totally missed this!!!🥹 No need to start it before you start the program. Hopefully by now you a merrily on your way to reaching your goals! I hope so. Again my apologies for responding so late. Best wishes!!!

[@last-sun]

I am from Saudi Arabia. I love you very much. Your information is valuable and understandable. I hope that doctors have this beautiful spirit, smile, vitality and understanding.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Thank you so much!!!

[@penelopengqwebo3280]

With vitamin B12 can you take supplements in the place of injection?

[@nativodiosa2276]

What a GREAT segment and so informative!! I have been on Mounjaro for solely for weight loss (pre-diabetic) for 17 weeks and lost 15 pounds … but the medication has never consistently suppressed my appetite … even after titration to 12.5 mg. That said, I will follow your great advice and request a blood insulin test. I have several questions: *Is the blood insulin test an A1C test or something else? *How much water should a person drink per day? I hate water (even flavored) but going to start tomorrow drastically increasing my intake. I only drink about 32 oz / day. *What brand / type of electrolyte supplements should I purchase? I want to get the correct type. THANK YOU so much because I feel my weight loss journey would be going better if I had known this information sooner.

[@ThatBetchEllie]

If you don't have to have low sodium the lmnt electrolytes are great I have to have low sodium for my Menieres disease so I get the ultima powder and I love them there are also electrolyte drinks that have protein included unfound some at Walmart I also recently ordered peptide collagen with protein as a powder to add to my drinks

[@lauraalexman1026]

You are awesome. I wish you could be my doctor😊😊😊😊❤

[@marylooksfineonadime]

Which electeolytes do you recommend?

[@kimberlywesley4422]

Thank you for this channel and sharing your knowledge. I would love to hear the topic of menopause.

[@Nena77788]

I have insulin resistance I never really had any hunger suppressant. I'm 15 month in and my weight is fluctuating 3-5lbs I have been on 15mg since June have gone from 300 starting weight to 251 my weight goes up and down 251-256. It's annoying having to deal with that visceral fat and insulin resistance I'm on a low carb and doing some intermiten fasting thinking on doing prolonged fasting and coming off meds. Fasting has worked better than this meds that's for sure and it's free...

[@TT-00000]

I have been taking in my thighs most of the time. I did change up this week into stomach. Also, very tired.

[@shalonw.472]

I am going to stop taking it in my thigh and go to my stomach too. My doctor mentioned that to me yesterday and hearing it again with this doctor too. Hopefully, this helps us.

[@LegacyByT]

I’m on Tirzepatide 12.5 and I’m just now starting to fill fuller. I’m only down 33 pounds since January 19,2024. I feel defeated. I get hungry fast after eating. Anyone else in my boat?

[@selinasands6446]

Nice videos. You touched on nausea, but please do one on constipation with Mounjaro.

[@TT-00000]

I'm on Wegovy at 2.4 highest dosage, but not loosing. I've been very dizzy, but drink a lot of water. I'm starting to go down on dosage because of the dizziness an not loosing. I also take berberine. I can't take monjoura not covered by insurance. I do try to workout 5 daystar week. What do you think? My nutrition has not been great too much sugar and not enough protein. Do you think it's the nutrition? I have lost 50, but lately nothing in the past 3 months.

[@annetteslidge2049]

Best education I've heard from any doctor. Both part 1&2 . Where do u practice. Would love you as my doctor.❤

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi and thank you for the kind words. I am based in New York City. I wish you all the best!!

[@KayIsGreatful]

Very informative video Dr O, Thanks for your compassion/ willingness to share your knowledge Heck we should be seeing you!!! God bless take care.

[@jacquelyn1853]

Thank you for explaining this so well! I just started with my first injection this week. You are a wonderful doctor.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Thank you for your kind words. I wish you the best of luck in your journey!!

[@easymoneynch]

It is hard for me to hear your videos.

[@debbiellis4335]

great information

[@joannymarquezb.1205]

Dr. Do you know where I could find the medicine? I can’t find my prescription anywhere. Thanks.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi and thank you for leaving a comment. Sadly, there is a worldwide shortage of all of these medicines and sometimes the biggest limitation is actually getting access to them. I wish I could be more helpful, but I do not know of a solution. Maybe you can ask your physician or even your insurance company as to whether they know of any pharmacies that may have the medicines. I wish I could be more helpful. Good luck to you!

[@leadimentoobrien1221]

U r phenomenal!!

[@sophieela1189]

I usually exercise at Orangetheory each morning, will I be able to continue that level of exercise and my vegan diet as I start this medication. Stocked up on protein shakes and take electrolytes daily.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi and thank you for your comment. It makes my heart sing to know that you exercise so regularly. Kudos!! You are doing such good work for yourself. 😊 Since I do not know you personally and I am not your physician, I cannot respond specifically to your question. I can tell you, however, that everyone is different in terms of how they initially respond to the medicines. Sometimes, having symptoms of nausea leads to a very low appetite, and thus a very low caloric intake. If this is the case with you, you will have to monitor and adjust your exercise regiment accordingly. Usually, these symptoms last only for a couple of weeks, and so once they resolve, you may find that you are able to eat less but still consume enough calories to exercise rigorously. And remember, hydration and consuming minerals to hold onto the water you drink is crucial, particularly if you are exercising, and sweating, rigorously. I hope this is helpful. Good luck on your weight loss journey!!!

[@1188clean]

I like your videos. Im a month in on taking wegovy 0.25. I've lost maybe 15 pounds. I sometimes feel good, but i have my bad days as well. What i feel is nauseous and fatigued some days. I was about to quit wegovy, but my physician told me to try some things before i stop. I have been going to the gym before taking this medicine, so i feel like i should eat, but i don't feel hungry. My worry is if i stop that, I'll gain everything again. I was wondering what happens if you drink alcohol like beer or whiskey? Thanks for your video.

[@natashamoses5905]

Thank you Dr.O , do you have any suggestions for hair loss while in this medication

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi and thank you for your comment. Hair loss while taking these medicines is definitely a possibility. The good news is that once you stop the medicines, the hair will regrow. While taking the medicines, make sure that your nutrient levels are within normal limits. By this I mean zinc, vitamin C, B12, and B2, along with biotin. These vitamins and minerals help with hair growth and deficiencies may interfere with the process. Also, staying well hydrated and having a balanced nutritional diet is also helpful. For any other options, I suggest you discuss further with your physician as there are some other interventions that may prove useful for this problem. I hope this is somewhat helpful. Good luck with your weight loss journey!!

[@tashacoach3922]

try to get weight loss shots that's best for me im 49 I'm over 240 no health problems don't eat a lot or sweets do walks 15 minutes workout in my home chair my new doctor try to get me into a program to sit in a class don't know how true it is but she was like well if you don't lose the weight then you can get on wegvoy shots that's how it works for $500 a month I was like no thank you left the office but I heard you can order it online with a real license doctor with no problems how long will that take to get meds sent to your home

[@smarties0622]

why is it when the scale is not going down that your body is still slimming down? How is that possible?

[@marylooksfineonadime]

Thank you so much, Dr. O!! Another great video!!

[@tynia305]

New subbie, thanks for the info. I was subscribed Wegovy and of course it’s a national shortage. Now I’m looking for something comparable to it.

[@sophieela1189]

My doctor did not recommend refrigeration, how do I know if I need to refrigerate the compounded semiglutide?

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi and thank you for your comment. According to the manufacturers recommendation, until you start using the medicine, it is recommended that you keep the medicine refrigerated. After taking the first dose, however, they say that Ozempic can be left at room temperature for up to 56 days, and Wegovy and Mounjaro can be kept at room temperature (after taking the first dose) for up to 21 days. I hope this is helpful and good luck on your weight loss journey!!

[@ThatBetchEllie]

You definitely need to refrigerate it always and keep it away from a lot of light it can survive for 28 days in room temp not above 85 degrees but it's safest to store in your fridge

[@Jallisa-n5w]

Can you do a video about Trulicity? The best tips to help reduce the weight and how to be successful. Anything else we should know

Hi Dr. O! Thank you for sharing valuable information. I hit a major plateau and is having a hard time moving this weight after losing all this weight! I am going to increase my medicine and hope it helps and continue to exercise.

Hi and thank you for leaving a comment. It sounds like you have a good plan in place to continue on your weight loss journey. I wish you all the best!!!

Hi Dr O. I just found you channel. Do you know of a pill that can be work similar to these injections?

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi!! There is a pill version of Semaglutide, (Ozempic/Wegovy) called Sextenda!! I hope this helps! All the best!!😊

I have been diagnosed with diabetes, but it is terrible...taking this medication...

I'm so glad that I came across your videos. I was losing hope because the scale has been slow. Actually stalled. My case may be the Fibrous fat. I do hope this passes and I'm able to lose the weight. Thank you for your inspiring videos.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Thank you for your kind comment!! And I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey!!

Can I work out while on wegovy?

[@LegacyByT]

Great advice. I’ll start lifting weights and eating more protein.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Wonderful!!!

[@corneliavives9040]

I take Letrozole will taking this medicine for weight loss will it affect my medicine of letrozole??

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi! Letrozole is classically given to patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer. If you have a question about the safety of taking any of these weight loss medicines, it is important to discuss this with your doctor. I wish I could be more helpful. All the best!

[@canadianjatti]

im on mj and just stumbled upon your channel! it is nice to see everything i researched so far and have been doing is the right thing even though after losing 30 pounds in my first 3 months i have now slowed to a crawl ill keep on keeping on! I do know i need to incorporate some excersice and that will be next. I have increased my protein already so check!

Please make more videos!

[@kukirajput3736]

I'm on ozempic but food is not digest what can i do??

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi, and thank you for your comment! It sounds as though you are having difficulty digesting your food while taking Ozempic? Unfortunately, since I am not your physician, I do not have any knowledge of your medical history, current medicines, or the benefit of a physical exam, to render an opinion as to what may be going on. For example, having a history of diabetes or other gastrointestinal issues with certainly influence my opinion as to what may be going on with you. I suggest that you have a discussion with your prescribing physician explaining your concerns, as this would be the best way to get answers that are suitable for you and your medical history. I wish I could be more helpful. I wish you all the best of luck.

[@carolsmith9817]

This was extremely helpful

[@thedr.omethod4534]

I am glad it helped!!

[@littlemermaid7408]

Omg! My results have been horrible. I only lost 8 pounds since June and I am normally hungry. I’ve changed my diet, walk more… it makes no sense so now that you mention the injections, my belly has lipo and it had no fat. I also inject in my thighs which have muscles. Where do I inject myself the?

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hi and thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear about your frustration with the program. Regarding finding the right injection site, unfortunately, it is impossible for me to advise you since I literally cannot see you. I think it is best for you to discuss this with your prescribing physician who will better be able to help you find the best spot for you to inject yourself subcutaneously. I wish I could be more helpful. Good luck on your journey!

[@littlemermaid7408]

@@thedr.omethod4534 Thank you! I understand. But also, I am wearing a dress today that fit tighter when I weight less than I weight today. Wish I had taken those measurements before but I really did not want to know 🫣

Simply go to your drs ofc. They can inject u properly. That’s what I’m doing. No appt needed. In and out.
