samhexum Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I've been off Ozempic for 6 months and seem to be holding between having gained back 3-4 pounds, depending on how long after I poop I weigh myself. But then again, I never got super skinny and was already back to eating like a normal person before I stopped it. (out of boredom and/or a desire for a nosh, rather than out of hunger.) + FreshFluff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbilly17 Posted Friday at 06:45 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:45 PM (edited) This is my first month on it and I’ve had no side effects. I’ve lost about 10 lbs. I usually feel full after a meal and I am not tempted to snack on anything; I am making wiser choices about my calorie intake. If you go on it, be sure to eat 3 meals a day and a snack between lunch and dinner. Essentially, eat every 3 hours, and try to gravitate towards proteins and good carbs. This will keep your metabolism going so when you eat you’re burning it.

+ Lucky Posted Friday at 07:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:05 PM I am over a year on Ozempic. I have lost 40 pounds, but moreover, I have lost none of my appetite. I need to exercise a lot to keep from gaining weight. My sugar desire has not subsided. Doc does not expect I will lose any more weight. As for diabetes, my A1c is terrific. + FreshFluff, MikeBiDude, Cbilly17 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
