I’m a diabetic taking ozempic and I’ve lost 20lbs in 2 months and my A1C went from 8.4 to 6.4 in 2 months I’m so happy 😊

[deannelowry]

I have been on Wegovy for a month now. I have lost 6 lbs. I have noticed inches off all areas, like it’s burning from the inside out. It’s working. I’m off all sugar and eating very clean. 😊

I’ve been on Wegovy since March 17th 2023 and have lost 65lbs

I’ve been on Wegovy since 03/17 and lost 42 lbs as of 08/11. Beyond eating less and more healthy, I’ve increased my physical activity (mostly only walking more). Wegovy has been a game changer for my weight loss struggle since my MVA.

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!

This was the most informative and realistic video I have seen on the topic. Thank you for providing the information.

I have been on wegovy for 10 weeks on the carnivore diet. I have lost 30lbs.

I just went on Wegovy 2 weeks ago, my appetite wasn't big to begin with before starting. I've done keto diet for a year & only lost 20lbs & it also included walking and 3x gym workouts per week. Hoping this finally helps my body to shed the excess weight, 226lbs 5'3"

One thing I’ve noticed from being on semaglutide is that although it definitely reduces my cravings for solid food, it does nothing for beverages. If part of your addiction is sugary drinks, changing your behaviors is likely the emphasis of your weight loss journey.

I have been taking Ozempic for four weeks now and am still on the low dose. I do have nausea not as bad, no vomiting and some constipation and diarrhea. But I’ve always had an issue with this so it does not make a difference for me. They just haven’t gotten worse. 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!!

So informative and clearly presented - thank you!

[maryolson]

Hey, i just started Wegovy on monday. .25 my understanding is you lose the most weight at the 9 month mark. My daughter started in febuary 2023. She lost almost 50lbs. And still losing. She looks amazing. But there are times she feels like crap. Nauseated after eating. But she said its worth it. So thats why i just started myself. ❤ Good luck to you all. And dont forget, they say it takes awhile to see the most resaults. So hang in there and dont give up. 😉😁

I’ve been on Ozempic since March 2023 and to date have lost 35 pounds. I’m now at my ideal weight! I’ve been a type 2 diabetic for 17 years and my A1C levels remain under 6 with this shot. I’ve found that I cannot eat spicy, fatty foods or sweets because they upset my stomach. Thank you for this video. It’s the first one I’ve seen that is truly informative!

[vickilindberg]

I'm diabetic, with a long term eating disorder. I was in Mounjaro but all of a sudden it wasn't available anyway so now its Ozempic. I'm just don't have the cravings for sweet & fat any more. I'm drinking a lot more "fizzy water "Good thing my husband knows the way to the deli & the frozen food section. I don't diet. Relax! Take care of our skin & exercise.

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.

Good day to you

I have been Manjuro for 8 months! I have lost 118 pounds I am having to switch to Oz in August at 2 mg dose! I still weigh 318 and have a lot more weight to lose! I am nervous that I will not achieve this with Ozempic

[MLMLW]

My doctor has prescribed semiglutide that I'm having to get from a compound pharmacy because my insurance doesn't cover Wegovy but even if it did my regular pharmacy told me it was on backorder anyway. I'm insulin resistant and no matter what I do the weight won't come off. I've exercised like crazy, cut out sweets & carbs but in a 4 month period I lost only 3 pounds. It's very frustrating. I'm praying that I have good luck with this medication. 🙏

[janweaver]

I have been watching many videos, yours is one of the best for positive guidance.

I have lost 58 lbs since last April.I have had some hair loss but I also take Thyroid medication and in menopause which can result in hair loss.I am very happy with the results so far on Ozempic. My A1C is 5.4 and I am off two medications for diabetes one being insulin.I have 5 lbs to lose to get to my first main goal and then about 10-15 to get to the ideal BMI for my height.I am no longer in plus size clothes and am very happy with that as well. I am on the first box of Ozempic. I never went any higher. I had quite a bit of nausea and headaches at first but that was from the other diabetic medications causing my blood sugar to run low.For myself, slow and easy has worked for me. I also eat on a small plate and eat kid size portions when eating out.

On second week of Wegovy and things are good. I am keeping a diary and tracking, but will be making a meal plan to follow. I have a lot to lose and am just thankful to have this medication. It is a long time coming. Genetics are tough.
