Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro │ Tips on How To Succeed

[@antoinettebostice679]

I had been on Trulicity for a couple of years and it did nothing for. Then last November, a friend told me about Mounjaro and I switched. I started out with 5mg on November 16th. By Christmas, I was down 20 pounds. I titrated up to 7.5mg and by May 1 was down another 40 pounds. I’m 5’7” and my heaviest was at 208. I’m now down and maintaining at 148 and I feel better than I have in years. No more blood pressure or cholesterol meds. I thank God for these meds. They’re literally changing folks lives without the need for surgery.

Wow! What a beautiful testimony! Thank you so much for sharing it!!

[@henowillson934]

Just started Ozempic today .50. Will see what happens. Really wanted Manjaro but cannot get it as yet. What do you eat in a day? I have over 100lb to lose.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

@@henowillson934 Dear Heno; Thank you for your comment. You are not the only one who has told me up there difficulty in getting Mounjaro. Hopefully this world wide shortage. Regarding what you should eat, I would focus on trying to eat healthy, full foods; you should stay away from foods, heavy in sugar and fats, although healthy fats like those found in avocados, cheese and nuts iPhone as long as they are not taken in access. The good news is that the medicine will help to lessen the amountof food you eat which is critical for weight loss. And due to its effects on the receptors in your gut, one of the great features of these medicines is a decrease in appetite!!! I wish you the best of luck on your weight-loss journey!

[@sharonratliff1600]

With Ozempic I didn’t have much of an appetite and I used this opportunity to make healthier food choices when I forced myself to eat the 4-6 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. I hope my comments help others to be successful on their weight loss journey.

[@millana100]

That's great! Good strategy. Unfortunately for me, the veggies that I eat make me really sick when taking Ozempic. I've had to give up broccoli, cauliflower, and kale. These cause me really gross burps and violent vomitting.

[@sonyafreeman2295]

That's exactly what I'm going to do. I hope to only be on Ozempic for three months. By then I should have established much more healthy eating.

[@otepgirl70]

I have type 2 diabetes and I was on ozempic for the last 8 months. Originally, my doctor wanted me on mounjaro, but of course it was not covered. While I lost weight I was miserable with symptoms of fatigue , headaches and nausea. I did not feel like myself. Well fast forward to a week ago. Looked and found out my insurance this year will cover mounjaro so I switched. I have had 2 injections so far at 7.5 mg. The difference has been night and day. I finally feel like me again and zero side effects. I know they are very different medications but I am so happy to be on mounjaro now. Do alot of people have those sode effects with ozempic?

[@janicefox6110]

Such good information! I have been on Semaglutide since 3/28/23 doing the usual 4 weeks ea of .25, then .50, then 1.0, then 1.7 and now finally 2.4. I did not lose 1 single pound in those first 3 months! SO Discouraging, but luckily I did take my measurements each month and have lost 15 inches in this time period. Finally when I made it to the 1.7 dose I started losing 1 lb a week, and now that I'm at 2.4 I'm steadily losing 2 lbs a week. I feel fantastic and much more motivated & happy now that the scale is moving in the right direction. I've also been on WW thru this all. The Fibrous Fat talk you gave really hit me as it makes so much sense. My husband could feel my fat loosening up and he kept saying that all the time the scale didn't move. Some really helpful secrets I have learned off of youtube is #1 take your shots at night to avoid the nausea. Also when you get to the highest dose, give yourself the shot in the fat on the side of your thighs instead of your stomach and you won't get nausea. This was a game changer for me at least. Hope that helps someone like me (I still need to lose 50 lbs).

Hi ! Thank you so much for sharing your weight loss journey on my KZbin channel. I apologize for not answering you sooner. I simply missed your wonderful remarks.😕 I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to hear how well you are doing. And, I must tell you how it is so kind of you to share your story so that others may learn from your experience. On or around August 10, I will be posting another video talking a bit more about understanding why at times it seems like the medicines are not working, not only at the start of the program, but also after being on the medicine for months. Hopefully, this will also help people understand what can happen in their body while on the medicine, and how to manage the changes! Again, thank you very much for your comment. I wish you continued success on your weight loss journey!

Thanks Doctor for your great information, always willing to learn more information on the topic of Ozempic. I personally started on the injections in July of last year and have now lost 100 lbs total!!! When my weight loss slowed down about 6 months on the injection I spoke with my doctor who increased me to 2 mg coming from 1 mg. Though I initially experienced nausea for the first few months I stayed with it taking the injection at bedtime instead and having something light on my stomach to help combat the nausea. Luckily the nausea eventually went away and I’ve continued consistently loosing on average about 2 lbs weekly. Also with the injections I didn’t have much

Hello Dr. O, I have battled my weight my entire life. I was previously on Trulicity, for almost two years. I'm currently taking Mounjaro to lower my A1C, and to lose weight. My question is, once I have reached my weight loss goals, how long will I need to continue to take Mounjaro? It has been the only medication that had helped me to lose weight. Mounjaro seem to be what has truly helped me on my weight loss journey. I'm feeling so grateful.

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Hello and thank you for your comment. As you are not my patient and I have no idea as to your medical history, I cannot advise you as to how long you will need to continue taking Mounjaro once your weight loss goals have been met, particularly since it sounds as though you are also using the medicine to help lower your hemoglobin A1c. This is definitely a discussion that you should have with your prescribing physician. I wish I could be more helpful. I am delighted to hear that you have found the medicine to truly help you with weight loss, and I wish you all the best on your health journey.

The choice is based not only on your bloodwork, but other factors like your medical history, other medicines you may be taking, and even your response to other diabetic medicines.

Hello! Great video! Thank you. My question is if we can take B12 oral supplements instead of injections? Second question is if it’s possible to lose weight if a patient stays on the 1mg without going on the 2mg dosage of Semaglutide/ Ozempic? Thank you!

Hello, would love a reply to my questions? Thank you so much 🥰

@@fatimaa5311 @thedr.omethod4534 18 hours ago Hi and thank you for your comment! Regarding taking vitamins by mouth, you should be aware that over-the-counter vitamin business is not an FDA regulated industry. And as such, the variability between different brands, and the content of different vitamin can vary greatly. So because of this, I am somewhat reluctant to recommend oral supplements, although I am sure that there are many brands out there that are excellent! Also, everyone’s gut is different; meaning that what you absorb when you take a supplement can be very different from what I absorb when I take a supplement. This variability is often related to genetics as well as your medical history and the medicines you take. It is also sometimes related to the biomes in your gut, which can often facilitate the absorption of certain supplements. So the variability in gut absorption is a second reason why I am reluctant to recommend oral supplements. However, with this said, the decision to take a B12 supplement should be made by both you and your prescribing physician. This is where you can take into account your lifestyle, your medical history and your medicines! I hope this information is somewhat helpful. Be well!!

I agree also, these tips are the most helpful I have read. There are so many that make the side affects so scary to try. I see so many people, that I know do so well in their weight loss journey. Only thing was that I had to figure it out for myself because they didn’t share their amazing results will me. It’s ok , I know it’s there for me too. In fact I have acquired even more information. Thank you Dr. O. for sharing. You are appreciated. ❤😊

New subscriber. Just started my semaglutide compound. No info at all other than giving myself the injection. So glad to find this channel. Thank you so much. All the comments are so informative. At least I know what to expect now. Houston here just trying to get along.

Hello, and thank you for your comment. I am so happy that you have found the information helpful. I wish you the best of luck on your health journey!!

I'm glad I found your video. I took my 1st 0.25 shot of ozempic last Sunday. I have lost my appetite, but now I know to eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water with lemon & lime. Is taking a teaspoon of sea moss okay to take at this time Dr. O? I have the more stubborn fat in my stomach, thanks for the tip of being patient.

Hi and thank you for your comment! Regarding taking a supplement like sea moss, you should be aware that over-the-counter vitamin business is not an FDA regulated industry. And as such, the variability between different brands, and the content of different supplements can vary greatly. So because of this, I am somewhat reluctant to recommend oral supplements, although I am sure that there are many brands out there that are excellent!

It is also sometimes related to the biomes in your gut, which often facilitate the absorption of certain supplements. So the variability in gut absorption is a second reason why I am reluctant to recommend oral supplements. And finally, regarding taking sea moss, while there is likely no adverse effect of taking it with these medicines I urge you to ask your prescribing physician if it is appropriate for you as I cannot advise you on this as I do not know your medical history. I wish I could be more helpful. I wish you all the best.

Incredibly helpful, thank you so much for this breakdown. It was so easy to understand and follow

[@TheyLuv_LailaForLife]

Hey Dr. O. thank you so much for sharing your expert advice. I will start my Mounjaro journey this week due to receiving news that my A1C has increased over the last few months. I am a little scared, but you have made your tips very clear and easy to understand. I hope I have some of the same great results as others. Thank you again 💓

[@thedr.omethod4534]

Thank you for your kind comment. Be sure to watch the follow up video that I posted last week as it has more information that you may find helpful on your weight loss journey. Good luck and best wishes!!

Ty!! Great video! I just started Semiglutide low dose one week ago. I am excited to keep going but I’ll admit it was a challenging week. I was on my period and it was the most intense period of my life. I havnt heard any docs talk about how this can effect hormones but the nurse who gave me the injection said she had to stop due to severe periods while on that generic form of the drug. I am tolerating the mild daily nausea with ginger ale. Im also taking Senna herb to make sure i stay regular since this can slow digestion. I had lots of energy the first 3 days but then i hit a Brutal fatigue wall. Not sure if its the medication or if I became anemic mid week. I take an iron pill around these times since im vegetarian. Im pretty active and have enjoyed not having much appetite from the med but since i luv a morning and early afternoon coffee… i find i have to eat something or i get jittery. I lost 2 pounds by day three but then gained a pound on day5. I agree i have to be patient even though im only planning on losing 25 lbs then weaning off. I hope i can do it. I hope my body can do it and that my insulin is ok. Im shocked at all my belly fat in the last year. I don’t feel like i over eat but im realizing i have to reduce my calorie intake to see results. I don’t really want high doses of any med so i need to be more honest with myself and account for that.
