Yes, I've been on it for 9 weeks and going to start weening myself off. I feel sick, I have no energy, have lost about 8lbs but it's just too much. I'd rather do it the hard way.

[Bubbaforrest]

So if I want to lose weight, I just need to crap my pants and throw up often

I think is just chemically a gastric bipass. I eat a 1/2 cup of food and I am full. I have to drink water so I’m not constipated. Eat less drink less to not get pancreatitis… it’s helped a ton with me not drinking as much. I like it. I’m down 47lbs

Why are doctors putting people on a medication with so many horrific side effects if it could possibly hurt them....I could not in good conscience do such a thing...I don't care how much my patient wanted it. It is bad enough when I diabetic has to finally take these products let alone someone that just needs to choose better foods and control their portions. That is what I am doing now because I am pre-diabetic...my choice is to try the hard way and no messing around.

I have been off since January and my digestive system is still not functioning well. I have no desire to eat anything, feeling sick and weak.

[maryjanepost]

I’m on it. If I don’t follow the recommendations then you feel sick otherwise if eating well and exercising and drinking water I feel great! This is not a good depiction of what’s happening. People can’t continue to eat what they want on this medication. It’s why your taking it! So your less hungry with cravings.

Ozempic is dangerous!
I'm laying here in bed because I took Ozempic (Semaglutide) for 3 months and almost died. This drug caused me constant bloating which made me feel full, but sick when I did force myself to eat. By the 3rd month the damage was done. My liver developed advanced cirrhosis which led to bleeding in my stomach and upper GI tract. I lost so much blood that my hemoglobin went down to 9 and I needed 2 units of blood at the ER. I had then scheduled a upper GI Endoscopy for 3 weeks later. But on the second week just before my appointment my hemoglobin went down to 5.1 and I became delirious and unconscious. My friends hadn't heard from me and broke into my house and quickly called me an ambulance. I was rushed to a nearby ER for 2 pints of blood they quickly squeezed into me to stabilize me and then taken by helicopter to a major hospital where they had to quickly squeeze 2 more pints of blood into me. They found fluids in my chest (dead blood cells) that has been drained out and performed the Upper GI Endoscopy where they had to band the bleeders. I had received 1 more unit of blood (for a total of 7 units in 2 weeks) just to bring me back up to a hemoglobin of 9. I was discharged a week later. I have no memory of the first two days after becoming unconscious. Then 6 weeks later my hemoglobin was down to 6.1 and again I was hospitalized for 6 days after another life flight from my local hospital. Once again the GI Doctor had to place 5 bands around bleeders. My organs are damaged now and I have been seeing doctors 2 or more times a week. I may need a liver transplant now from biliary cirrhosis. I did have a prior fatty liver, but I hadn't had a drink in over 8 years. There is a October 2022 published report from Indiana University School of Medicine of someone else my age (male 50's) that required a liver and kidney transplant after using Semaglutide for 6 months. The report found no other explanation for his diagnosis. There are also other lawsuits over the harm from this drug. My hemoglobin counts are slowly improving, but I am unable to leave my bed for more than a few minutes due to all the complications it has caused my body. Using this product is not worth the health risk. If you're diabetic, I recommend Victoza. I used Victoza for years without side effects and it will also help with slow weight loss. I wish I had stayed with it instead of listening to the Wegovy and Ozempic commercials for quicker weight loss.

I was on Ozempic for 2 months to control my blood sugar due to diabetes. I felt horrible the entire time and quitting this medication.

I’ve heard twice in two days doctors say that that these drug’s don’t go after fat cells, they attack muscle mass. You have to have muscle for your metabolism.

[tyjones]

Why aren't these people talking about MUSCLE LOSS??? Which slows down your metabolism making it easier to GAIN all that weight back and then some.. this is ridiculous..

[sarahferrell]

I felt miserable after 5 weeks. I had anxiety, felt like I was going to lose it. I’m was not hungry for 4 days then felt theses sugar rages and junk food obsession. I felt like a maniac on it be aware.

[ConnieKnepper]

[alidi]

Rather be fluffy and healthy than skinny and sick

[MJ-wrty]

It is true 100% I can't use it as if I can eat whatever I want or I get sick. However even when I'm eating well I still feel sick . From the beginning it's been like this . I've been on it 6 weeks so far and I'm getting off it. I've lost weight because I can't eat!!

[melissalowder]

I’m currently on this medication I’ve been on it 9 months and lost 60 pounds. But what she is saying is very true you feel sick a lot and yes diarrhea then constipation and nausea sometimes vomiting too. It’s a rough journey and no you don’t enjoy eating anymore. I’m almost at my goal weight but I’ll have to stay on a low dose to maintain it.

[lawunmibalogun]

To that woman’s question about having constipation and diarrhea at the same time the answer is actually yes it’s called back flow

[gizmo]

Do not eat much when on these meds and you will be fine.

[TheThreekeys]

I was on it for 4 weeks. My gut shut down… “constipation” is too gentle of a word. I was SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN AS I struggled to pass ONE 1” diameter BALL of stool. Horrible horrible pain. I’ve been off of it for 3 weeks now and my gut is only now just barely beginning to move.

[RavenWolfDrum]

[ericaawake]

She forgot to mention heart attack and cancer side effects! Just a minor thing, right?
