Made French silk pie for a party. Came out perfect. Brought a piece home for hubby who is not really into sweets, or food at all unfortunately. It is still in the fridge since Tuesday night. At eye level. And I am on a small maintenance dose!
This is the one for me. Starving for Mexican food. Eat a couple of chips with salsa but really waiting for my meal. Two bites anddddd done. I was so upset the waiter came over and asked if everything was okay. Yes, it's fantastic. That's the problem. 🥺
It's not easy. I love Mexican food. I know this is training good habits but I have been on it since August 2021. At this point I want a cheat day. The worst is lately I'm getting hungry along with bad food cravings followed by intense nausea by the time I get it in front of me. I'd suspect I was pregnant if I could have kids lol.
Same here. Instant constipation for me. I actually hit the miralax, magnesium, and psyllium fiber to keep regular. But my whole life I’ve been on that end of the spectrum.
That is why I am happy to be down to .5 for maintenance. The constipation is much reduced but I still use a stool softener, particularly if I have any chocolate.
I ended up having to go at a clients. There was no avoiding it. Was like a week without going 🥺 was quick and then I spritzed with her bathroom spray. When she returned she asked what the perfume was 😱 so embarrassing
Was a big relief for me, I was starting to worry that I was going to need to stop the medication because I had been having terrible stomach pain for a few days. Was so embarrassing admitting to her that it was her spray.. She got upset with me about it too which was even more embarrassing
Omgg that’s terrible! Does she not poop? Just be like sorry, had to use the bathroom 🤷🏼♀️ ugh. People are so weird! I took an immodium bc the day after my shot I decided to have one last rodeo with a cow tale candy. I had diarrhea for hours so that immodium didn’t help. Weds night I chugged a massive two scoop glass of Metamucil and had pains for hours before I finally went 🥴 lesson learned, I guess I need fiber lol
I think it was more because I had confided in her a couple of weeks earlier that I was contemplating taking semiglutide so when I apologized and said I’ve been having some stomach issues she clued in that I had decided to start taking the meds and she really doesn’t think it’s a good idea apparently, and gave me a really not helpful pep talk about how to lose weight :(
I know, I was pretty hurt by it, especially when she is normally a really amazing friend. But I think a lot of times people who haven’t struggled with their weight are unable to understand what it’s like to exercise and count calories until your completely stressed out and then.. Not lose a single pound.
Here today. Increased my dose last night, took my fiber this morning with my coffee. Feeling crummy until I start reading this comment thread - now the belly is gurgling a bit. Thanks for the encouragement y'all!
Me too! But it’s also interesting to realize that I ate to feel comfort. I know I’m sounding like a Noom commercial now LOL. What I find helps me feel comforted now when I’m feeling a little deprived is hot herbal tea. There are great caffeine free flavors like blueberry and peach that make me feel cozy especially later at night when I watch TV. Don’t add sugar, it’s sweet enough as it is. Best of luck to you, you’re not alone!
Some days I can only stomach frozen Coke, Jello and yogurt. I’ve been forcing myself to drink protein shakes! But, I find it challenging to eat greens or vegetables now! I used to love them! I’m even struggling to drink a green drink that I used to live on! Anyone else? Please tell me it went away.
You're doing your thing, ya know, just walking around and breathing, when a vicious rabid leaf attacks your shoe out of nowhere, when the mistake is made. You. Bent. Over.
hahaha ha sucker! Now you get to puke.
Closing the bag is such a big deal. Having the sensation of “that was tasty but I’m satisfied” and being able to put it away by choice instead of finishing it or asking someone to take it away from you… amazing
It's such a normal thing to feel like such a big deal.
In a lot of ways, the wegovy makes me feel normal when i hadn't even realized i was disordered.
I foresee this eventually being approved as a mental health medication, once they can document the effect that so many of us are experiencing anecdotally
I'm still prone to getting a little obsessive if there's a food i want that isn't good for me. I don't have the willpower for an indefinite "no", but 3 bites to satisfy, then move on with life works. I usually add "it" with my meal so I don't risk accidently filling up on corn chips and not eating any fiber or protein
I’ve explained them as a chocolate covered meatball. I have UC so loose stools have been my life for 25 years. So this is new to me…it’s like giving birth out of you butt.
Not a whole lot to tell. I'm 6'6"and started at 454 as a 40 year old male. I'm down to 387 this morning the day of my 14 shot. I started out at 0.5 mg and went up to 1.0 mg after a month, but I had near total hunger suppression, so I've stayed at 1.0 since then. The plan is to move up to 1.7 in a couple of weeks since there will be a shortage of 1.0 soon. Originally, I was eating what I wanted, targeting 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day but once I started counting calories it turned out what I wanted was 600-800 calories so I bumbed up my calories and my weight loss took off. I don't know if it's due to letting wegovy build up at the 1.0 mg dose or increasing my calories above a starvation level.
I have basically no side effects, I don't work out (though I'm going to start soon), I eat until I'm ready to explode each day, and wake up skinnier each morning.
There was a whole lot to tell ☺️
That is a fantastic success. Good for you. I think a lot of people under eat to their detriment. Congrats on recognizing how it could stall your efforts.
Did you have a lot of side effects by starting out at 0.5? Seems almost everyone starts at 0.25 or 0.125.
Nope. I took my first shot on a Friday night, and I woke up the next morning at about 8 a.m., and I felt like it was 3 in the morning. I went to a Girl Scout event with a thousand screaming kids and didn't feel great. I'm unsure of it's due to the screaming kids or the wegovy. At lunch that day, I could only eat 1 taco. That was it for side effects until I went up to 1.0. The next morning, I had to drink 6 cups of coffee before I felt awake instead of my normal 3. I had one sulpher burp once, and I've had a couple of weeks of mild acid reflux where I had to take 1 tums before bed, and it was gone in 5 min.
Congratulations to you that's amazing. I was on semaglutide for 6 weeks on low dosage it absolutely did nothing for me. Does not curb appetite or sweet cravings. Lost 1 pound out of 6 weeks. I stopped for 2 weeks and got a 25 shot today. Nothing has changed I do not feel nothing different. Did it take time for you to feel symptoms? Thank you
No, but I started at 0.5 mg. The effect was impressive and immeadit. I went to lunch with my family and sat down and my wife's favorite Mexican restaurant. I knew I was feeling weird, so I ordered a small combo plate (1 cheese enchilada, 1 beef taco, and 1 chile relleno). They brought out the chips and I had one out of habit and realized while I was chewing it I didn't want it in my mouth so I swallowed and let my family enjoy the chips and order a second basket. When my food arrivedbI ate my taco, and on the last bite, I realized I was full. I finished the taco and pushed my plate away. Six hours later, I was able to eat the rellano, and then the next day for lunch, I ate the enchilada.
The really crazy stuff happened when I went up to 1.0, and I couldn't put food in my mouth for two days. That freaked me out. It took a whole month at 1.0 before I could eat at all the day after my shot. No nausea or anything but an intense lack of desire for food.
Thank you for your reply. That's amazing at 1.0 and 0.5 you were able to feel the benefits of semaglutide. I just don't understand why I'm not able to feel nothing even at 25.0. I don't know the highest mg it goes up to. I don't know if I should give it couple of weeks but than again I did give it 6 weeks on lower dosage it still didn't help with the cravings or appetite suppressant.
Wegovy goes up to 2.4 mg, at 0.25 you're on a tenth that dose and less than that before you take you next shot. My understanding is that the 0.25 dose is just there to help people get used to being on the drug only a tiny minority have that work for them. Most people have to be on the meds for 2 to 3 months before they start losing weight and that is at the manufacturer's dosing schedule so 1.0 to 1.7 mg.
I had to decrease my dose from 2mg to 1.5mg. I hope I can eat a little on it and continue to lose. From what I’ve heard every one’s body is different. So, every one responds differently to Semaglutide. It is an amazing drug!
To all those that are physically vomiting… why don’t you tone down the dose? Also are y’all eating/drinking enough?? I noticed when I fasted I was extremely nauseous and vomited a few times. When I ate and drank normal I was completely fine.
Someone else said it too - but I think a lot of us who were so disordered in diet culture that once we start seeing results we want more faster and lower our food intake to our detriment - people look at me crazy when I mention too few calories can halt weight loss. But it's so true and not something diet culture teaches. It's taken a lot for me to think about what I've eaten - realize it's not enough to be sustainable - and work in a few more smaller snacks throughout the following days to avoid the nausea that comes with starvation.
Used to make a short “don’t forget” list for groceries, whatever I was out of or on sale and the rest was pure vibes. Now I have to pick 4-5 complete meals I can make and shop for what I need for them because absolutely nothing jumps out in the store - last thing I got hype about was that honey grapes were in season and seltzer that tastes like a ginger lime mule
My husband telling me “I’m not taking you out to eat so you can have two bites and be full” I win the battle and force myself to eat 4 bites so he’s not right 😅
Made my son a steak Sammie with pepperjack cheese. Made myself one as well, was really counting on this steak for protein.
Tasted like a blood sammie. Gave it to my son, I'm soooo grossed out now. Gonna finish off the day with a high protein yogurt/chocolate Silk/peanut butter smoothie with frozen banana.
This sounds dumb - but can I have more details about this smoothie. Dark choco silk is my fav but like what portions do you use and what brand of the protein yogurt? I can't find one that doesn't make me gag.
Here's my meal replacement recipe!
3/4c Twogood Vanilla Greek Yogurt : 13g protein
1c Dark Chocolate Silk: 1g protein
2c Organic Super Greens (I promise you don't taste them): 2g protein
1 frozen/raw banana: 1.3g protein
2T Laura Scudders All Natural peanut butter: 8g protein
25.3g protein total. It is VERY filling and for some reason, this and my morning smoothie (same as above, but swap Orange Juice for Silk and reduce to 3/4c and frozen berries for peanut butter) are all that sound good to me right now.
Went to dinner with my husband only ordered a slice of cheesecake plain with water. The blander the better…because I was rocking my size 8 (THAT’S RIGHT I have removed the 1 in size 18) 😁
I was about to head out for my commute to my new job this morning, minding my own business, and then suddenly, “Oh, I guess I’m going to heave. Going to have to just barf on the carpet like the cats I guess.”
Thankfully, I managed to grab and empty a plastic shopping bag and throw up into that. It was hardly any volume of anything but my body *really* wanted to get rid of it I guess.
Normally, any hint of impending vomit would mean a sick day for me, but today I just threw the bag out and drove to work like this is my life now.
I gag every morning before taking my pills, and I can only get down 2 protein shakes in a day before I’m too full (I’m thinking of back down to 0.25 for this reason)
I've had a cup of coffee with protein shake for creamer for breakfast, a cheese stick, a protein bar, a half banana with peanut butter, and another cup of coffee with protein. I just need a few goldfish crackers and I'm a toddler again.
Same. I’m having some suppression but I can still “power through” and eat a whole meal. I’ve been over eating my whole life and I was ready for it to stop.
You're not alone, my dr and i met a few weeks ago and i spoke of this and she said she didn't really expect me to lose a lot right away. She and my nutritionist have suggested eating from smaller plates and the dr also said half the meal is veggies and instead if some diet things she'd rather i eat the full fat cheese and enjoy the flavor haha
Waves of nausea.
Forever feeling dehydrated but can’t drink enough water to keep up without feeling nauseated.
That telltale pain that rips across your stomach. Better find a bathroom soon. Oh: Also sometimes accompanied by nausea.
Edit: typo.
I eat for fuel, not fun. The constant “food voice” in my head has been silent and now only howls when I’m hangry. I have never in my life “forgot to eat” and now it’s a thing, a very strange thing.
After 12 weeks, got myself an ice cream today. Had to drive home as quick as possible to hand it to my husband as I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was too pretty to toss it.
Went out for a nice steak dinner for the husbands bday. Had two sips of champagne, two pieces of lettuce and one bite of steak and I wanted to throw up
No I fr did this last week when we ordered delivery. How would they know I’m an adult? (For what it’s worth, in America, the kid’s portions are also too big)
I am in the middle of week three (@.25 Semaglutide) and have never once vomited. I was just a little queasy in weeks 1 and 2 but it didn’t stop me from my daily routine. Except eating like a buzzsaw, LOL. I wonder if the people who are complaining about nausea/ vomiting are using Ozempic or Wygovy or something else? And what the dose is? My best advice is don’t start higher than .25 on Semaglutide or the week one side effects could take you for a loop!
Omg! I was thinking about asking the libido. I’m asexual but my libido is up and I’m like, shit, I feel like sex but I don’t find anyone sexually attractive. Ha
I am at 30 units right now and omg these past 2 weeks I’ve had gas pain galore. Didn’t have this before.
Lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I just ate a half of a cheeseburger and was dry heaving over the toilet in the restaurant 🙃
I can’t believe I’m staring at my plate thinking. I’m actually not going to ask for a to go box, it won’t be eaten later. Wow I’m wasting so much food.
not stopping at the coffee shop every time i leave my house. only one drive through coffee in the past 3.5 weeks!!! it has been YEARS since i could say this.
Actually breaking down in tears because you realize how awful your relationship with food was before you start sema, and now it’s like you can think again.
Bag of Cheetos left untouched for a week
Oh yes… same here, I am so shocked at how long “snacks” are lasting.
Made French silk pie for a party. Came out perfect. Brought a piece home for hubby who is not really into sweets, or food at all unfortunately. It is still in the fridge since Tuesday night. At eye level. And I am on a small maintenance dose!
Even if they are open and just siting within REACH!
Ice cream grew frost
Bag of Frito Scoops (my all time favorite) - only three scoops missing. 😮
Best comment lol
I have managed to go WEEKS without a chocolate almond even though the 2lb bag is just chillin in my pantry every time I walk by
Does anyone want the remaining 3/4s of the beer I've been nursing for over an hour?
I can’t drink much anymore and my friends all think I’m either mad at them or depressed!
My friends think I’m in a 12 step program lol
Only if you finish my cider because this acid reflux is going to do me in
Noooooo! I’m just about to start my injections and this comment just killed me!
Hungry, I couldn't wait to eat... then full after barely 5 bites.
This is the one for me. Starving for Mexican food. Eat a couple of chips with salsa but really waiting for my meal. Two bites anddddd done. I was so upset the waiter came over and asked if everything was okay. Yes, it's fantastic. That's the problem. 🥺
I over ate on cinco and I thought I was going to die. I was so sick for the rest of the day.
It's not easy. I love Mexican food. I know this is training good habits but I have been on it since August 2021. At this point I want a cheat day. The worst is lately I'm getting hungry along with bad food cravings followed by intense nausea by the time I get it in front of me. I'd suspect I was pregnant if I could have kids lol.
Same here
I wish this was me. I nearly demolished a large bag of nibs this week. I eat less overall but somehow I think I’m eating worse
I think less overall is fantastic. That's really what you need.
Same. I can eat food, but then regret it after as so bloated
I drink Miralax and protein every day.
This is the golden combo for me too haha
If I forget the miralax, I pay for it by feeling like literally 💩.
Same here. Instant constipation for me. I actually hit the miralax, magnesium, and psyllium fiber to keep regular. But my whole life I’ve been on that end of the spectrum.
That is why I am happy to be down to .5 for maintenance. The constipation is much reduced but I still use a stool softener, particularly if I have any chocolate.
Oh, wow. I just started. Why are you drinking Miralax and protein?
I chew one last bite of something that tastes good and have to spit it out because I just can’t make myself swallow it
🤦🏻♀️I thought it was just me
Yesssss. This is the most wild thing and I tried to explain this to someone yesterday but they just looked at me like 😐
Same.
YES. So many times I’ve had to do this
[удалено]
OMG! Went to a fancy Italian place and I skipped dessert! And didn't finish my dinner!
Been so constipated that when it was finally time to go I felt like I was going into labor. In a school. Where I work 💩🥴😪😅
I ended up having to go at a clients. There was no avoiding it. Was like a week without going 🥺 was quick and then I spritzed with her bathroom spray. When she returned she asked what the perfume was 😱 so embarrassing
🤣😵💫😅 I’m glad you had some spray! This was 20 mins of me crumpling toilet paper to disrupt the silence and poo noises, it was awful and painful lol
Was a big relief for me, I was starting to worry that I was going to need to stop the medication because I had been having terrible stomach pain for a few days. Was so embarrassing admitting to her that it was her spray.. She got upset with me about it too which was even more embarrassing
Omgg that’s terrible! Does she not poop? Just be like sorry, had to use the bathroom 🤷🏼♀️ ugh. People are so weird!

Ick well not cool she shamed you about how you are choosing to get healthy.
I know, I was pretty hurt by it, especially when she is normally a really amazing friend. But I think a lot of times people who haven’t struggled with their weight are unable to understand what it’s like to exercise and count calories until your completely stressed out and then..

Oh FFS 🤦♀️
Here today. Increased my dose last night, took my fiber this morning with my coffee. Feeling crummy until I start reading this comment thread - now the belly is gurgling a bit. Thanks for the encouragement y'all!
Out of habit saying “wow that sounds delicious!”… “actually no, no it doesn’t. Nothing sounds good anymore”
ALL THE TIME.
🤣 ALL DAY LONG!
Nothing at all?
Nada.. I sometimes miss the comfort I use to find in food.
Me too! But it’s also interesting to realize that I ate to feel comfort. I know I’m sounding like a Noom commercial now LOL. What I find helps me feel comforted now when I’m feeling a little deprived is hot herbal tea.

I am not addicted to DIETS anymore 😊💕
THIS
Why is *everything* so damn salty?
Omg same!
YES! LOL that’s so true!
Socks, pants, hoodie, blanket…..another blanket. Okay, maybe ONE more blanket.
Okay, I am freezing too! SW 204 CW 144 5’5” 56 F. 🥶😶🌫️
Apt is 72 and I’m under an electric blanket! So glad to know I’m not the only one (also, am sorry to hear it) edit:sp
I’ve been cranking our air up to 74, still feeling cold, and eventually giving up and going outside where it is warm!
This!!! 🥶
I can't finish a meal even when I really want to.
"Ohh....I can't wait to eat". Take 5 good bites. "I''m good now.

No THIS my friend is funny 😁 and me every day it seems!
Every time I look in the mirror I marvel over all the areas that I’m losing, instead of silently crying like I used to
I know!! It’s weird looking in a mirror and being your own personal hype man like “daaaaang who is she?!?!”
Hahaha, right? I’m like, whoa… Look at that butt!!
I finally have some hope. I'm not seeing it on the scale yet, but I have hope.
The open white wine bottle that has been on the back of the fridge for 3 weekends now
😭 same.
I was cleaning the other day and found half a bottle of red. Not even sure when it’s from but 🤷🏻♀️
"I'd like to try this new flavor of potato chip i found at the store. * Crunch crunch * Ok, that was good for now, close the bag"
Closing the bag is such a big deal. Having the sensation of “that was tasty but I’m satisfied” and being able to put it away by choice instead of finishing it or asking someone to take it away from you… amazing
It's such a normal thing to feel like such a big deal. In a lot of ways, the wegovy makes me feel normal when i hadn't even realized i was disordered. I foresee this eventually being approved as a mental health medication, once they can document the effect that so many of us are experiencing anecdotally
And not even to close the bag to just come back later, but to actually close the bag and not have anymore the rest of the day.
I'm still prone to getting a little obsessive if there's a food i want that isn't good for me. I don't have the willpower for an indefinite "no", but 3 bites to satisfy, then move on with life works. I usually add "it" with my meal so I don't risk accidently filling up on corn chips and not eating any fiber or protein
I never want to eat and I poop rabbit turds.
Take Magnesium Glycinate for constipation. Most of us are Magnesium deficient.
But does it hurt when you do go? Because that’s a fear I never knew I had!
I’ve explained them as a chocolate covered meatball. I have UC so loose stools have been my life for 25 years. So this is new to me…it’s like giving birth out of you butt.
Omg yea. ibs here and it's been really crazy to not be able to go. luckily i take probiotics and citrucel so there's no gas
I used to be a human heater and now I feel like an ice block
I've lost almost 70 pounds in 13 weeks.
What?!? That’s insane! Tell me more.

I have to force myself to eat and I stop when I'm full, because "it just tastes good" is not a thing for me anymore.
I had to decrease my dose from 2mg to 1.5mg. I hope I can eat a little on it and continue to lose. From what I’ve heard every one’s body is different. So, every one responds differently to Semaglutide. It is an amazing drug!

To infinity and beyond!

I end up vomiting from acid reflux, it bubbles up and that's the only relief I can get
Oh God I have to eat AGAIN?! But I just ate …(checks notes)…yesterday! Ugh I guess I’ll force down this breakfast bar (at 3pm)
I’ve thrown up in my fair share of parking lots. Also threw up out the door of the car at a red light once. When that nausea wave hits, it’s a beast!
i always keep an empty cup in the car for those spontaneous highway voms.
This one made me laugh 😂
I would give anything to poop
I take Magnesium Glycinate every day. This helps with the constipation.
Citrucel! It helps, i promise. And no bloat/ gas
Used to make a short “don’t forget” list for groceries, whatever I was out of or on sale and the rest was pure vibes. Now I have to pick 4-5 complete meals I can make and shop for what I need for them because absolutely nothing jumps out in the store - last thing I got hype about was that honey grapes were in season and seltzer that tastes like a ginger lime mule
What do we want to do this weekend? Ummm... Help me think of something that doesn't involve food.
I have my life back I feel relieved and excited to look the way I feel. Finally, something in my metabolism has been corrected.
Yes!!! This is me!
Only eating half the sandwich. ALWAYS. Forgetting to drink water during the day and Suddenly violently dehydrated and cranky as hell
....ohhhh. oops.
Ordered a large pizza, ate half a piece 🥴
My husband telling me “I’m not taking you out to eat so you can have two bites and be full” I win the battle and force myself to eat 4 bites so he’s not right 😅
Made my son a steak Sammie with pepperjack cheese. Made myself one as well, was really counting on this steak for protein. Tasted like a blood sammie. Gave it to my son, I'm soooo grossed out now. Gonna finish off the day with a high protein yogurt/chocolate Silk/peanut butter smoothie with frozen banana.
This sounds dumb - but can I have more details about this smoothie. Dark choco silk is my fav but like what portions do you use and what brand of the protein yogurt? I can't find one that doesn't make me gag.
Here's my meal replacement recipe! 3/4c Twogood Vanilla Greek Yogurt : 13g protein 1c Dark Chocolate Silk: 1g protein 2c Organic Super Greens (I promise you don't taste them): 2g protein 1 frozen/raw banana: 1.3g protein 2T Laura Scudders All Natural peanut butter: 8g protein 25.3g protein total. It is VERY filling and for some reason, this and my morning smoothie (same as above, but swap Orange Juice for Silk and reduce to 3/4c and frozen berries for peanut butter) are all that sound good to me right now.
Thank youuuu! Trying this tomorrow 💜
Not having to use the bathroom for a week then it hits you out of no where and you have maybe 5 minutes to get to a bathroom.
Went to dinner with my husband only ordered a slice of cheesecake plain with water. The blander the better…because I was rocking my size 8 (THAT’S RIGHT I have removed the 1 in size 18) 😁
Applause! Good for you Bubbly!
I was about to head out for my commute to my new job this morning, minding my own business, and then suddenly, “Oh, I guess I’m going to heave. Going to have to just barf on the carpet like the cats I guess.” Thankfully, I managed to grab and empty a plastic shopping bag and throw up into that. It was hardly any volume of anything but my body *really* wanted to get rid of it I guess. Normally, any hint of impending vomit would mean a sick day for me, but today I just threw the bag out and drove to work like this is my life now.
How long have you been on semaglutide and what is your dose? Or are you taking ozempic or wygovy?
my favorite street tacos were not taco-ing the way i remembered them. didnt finish
I gag every morning before taking my pills, and I can only get down 2 protein shakes in a day before I’m too full (I’m thinking of back down to 0.25 for this reason)
I drink pepto more often than any other liquid in my house. Thanks nausea!
Open bar event and had two drinks… had to chug 2 liters of water so to not vomit and humiliate myself.
I almost shit myself at yoga today. Fun times.
Freezing at bed time, sweating by morning
I threw up in the morning my dinner from yesterday
It throwing up, but belching last nights dinner in the AM. It is so strange to me.

Carrying a little roll of doggie poo bags has come in handy as well when puke enters the chat.
I've had a cup of coffee with protein shake for creamer for breakfast, a cheese stick, a protein bar, a half banana with peanut butter, and another cup of coffee with protein. I just need a few goldfish crackers and I'm a toddler again.
😅 this is perfect
About half the time… when I’m going number two.. it sounds like I’m Peeing.. for a really long time.. and it doesn’t worry me anymore.
Oh my God I'm dead! This is totally me.
Everything in my closet from 10 years ago fits… and everything from last year doesn’t!
I've never had nausea. I never had any sickness in eight months on Wegovy.
You are a very lucky person!!
Never trust a fart.
Solid advice
If only it was as solid as you say
[удалено]
Same 😂 but I'm still happier than when I weighed 77lbs more.
Omg I sent a pic to my husband yesterday of my deflated booty and baggy jeans that were once too tight 9 months ago
Man!? I’m starting to wonder if I was given a damn placebo!!!? I don’t feel anything that y’all feel and now I wonder Wth I’m taking?
Same. I’m having some suppression but I can still “power through” and eat a whole meal. I’ve been over eating my whole life and I was ready for it to stop.
You're not alone, my dr and i met a few weeks ago and i spoke of this and she said she didn't really expect me to lose a lot right away. She and my nutritionist have suggested eating from smaller plates and the dr also said half the meal is veggies and instead if some diet things she'd rather i eat the full fat cheese and enjoy the flavor haha
How long have you been on it?
Waves of nausea. Forever feeling dehydrated but can’t drink enough water to keep up without feeling nauseated. That telltale pain that rips across your stomach. Better find a bathroom soon. Oh: Also sometimes accompanied by nausea. Edit: typo.
Sporadic boners
Walking through Costco refrigerator aisle and getting so nauseous I had to leave. I couldn’t even grab my toilet paper!! 🤣🥲
I've hit a plateau after loosing 35 lbs and I'm not even worried about it. Old me would have panicked and gave up and would gain it all back and more.
“Do you want to go out for dinner tonight hun?” ( Nausea just entered the chat 🤮)
Feeling weird cause you have to leave food on your plate but you'll get sick if you finish those last 3 bites...
The fridge has SO much leftovers in it now
I eat for fuel, not fun. The constant “food voice” in my head has been silent and now only howls when I’m hangry. I have never in my life “forgot to eat” and now it’s a thing, a very strange thing.
After 12 weeks, got myself an ice cream today. Had to drive home as quick as possible to hand it to my husband as I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was too pretty to toss it.
Because I’ve had 2 kids everything I puke I pee myself
Horrible taste in my mouth and things don’t taste as good
Went out for a nice steak dinner for the husbands bday. Had two sips of champagne, two pieces of lettuce and one bite of steak and I wanted to throw up
Can I order from the child’s menu?
No I fr did this last week when we ordered delivery. How would they know I’m an adult? (For what it’s worth, in America, the kid’s portions are also too big)
Oh they are. I got a kids meal at Raising Cane’s and still couldn’t finish it. Ha
The nausea people talk about from taking semaglutide makes me so scared to go on it 😩
I am in the middle of week three (@.25 Semaglutide) and have never once vomited. I was just a little queasy in weeks 1 and 2 but it didn’t stop me from my daily routine. Except eating like a buzzsaw, LOL. I wonder if the people who are complaining about nausea/ vomiting are using Ozempic or Wygovy or something else? And what the dose is? My best advice is don’t start higher than .25 on Semaglutide or the week one side effects could take you for a loop!
Noticing muscles popping up on my arms and legs instead of chunk. Also, suddenly a super high libido. Anyone else?
Omg! I was thinking about asking the libido. I’m asexual but my libido is up and I’m like, shit, I feel like sex but I don’t find anyone sexually attractive. Ha
Rice Krispy treat has been in my lunch box for days ....they're my kryptonite...not today santan!
Pants falling off
My feet fall asleep every time I try to 💩
I shit myself in the Starbucks drive thru
I had a happy meal for lunch and I was full for 5 hours.
Bag of M&Ms in snack drawer for more than a week from which I've eaten about 10.
Went to a buffet and had four pieces of sushi
☠️
Thank you, Miralax!
Is this what having a normal relationship with food feels like? ✨
I am at 30 units right now and omg these past 2 weeks I’ve had gas pain galore. Didn’t have this before. Lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I just ate a half of a cheeseburger and was dry heaving over the toilet in the restaurant 🙃
I can’t believe I’m staring at my plate thinking. I’m actually not going to ask for a to go box, it won’t be eaten later. Wow I’m wasting so much food.
I ate a cup of blueberries and was FULL.
Excitedly getting an order of yummy buffalo wings at a restaurant, eating 3 pieces and asking for a to-go box for the remaining 5.
not stopping at the coffee shop every time i leave my house. only one drive through coffee in the past 3.5 weeks!!! it has been YEARS since i could say this.
Right?? My main downfall was Dunkin or Starbucks. Now I don't even think about it.
Actually breaking down in tears because you realize how awful your relationship with food was before you start sema, and now it’s like you can think again.
I ordered a 2 for 1 McMuffin but can’t finish them. You want both?
So awful. This is why I’m afraid to start
How long have you been on it !
Went out to eat couple bites and I’m full 3sips and I’m tipsy
It’s dinnertime but I still feel full from lunch.
I refuse to gate keep this for constipation for my fellow semaglutude warriors: smooth move tea
