This was SO helpful.

I have been on Ozempic since the end of December and have lost 15 lbs. Need to lose about 80 lbs. I am on 1mg presently and will be taking 2mg in a couple of weeks. I have had zero side effects. My A1c has dropped to 6.2 so it is definitely working on that. I am eating less and track my carbs. No more than 60 per day. I feel like a failure on this medicine. Appreciate this video knowing that it's just not me who is not losing weight!!! Thank you so much!!!!

You are actually a success! Here is why: your A1c has dropped to 6.2, you limit carbs to 60g per day (you’re amazing) and you already lost weight on the 1mg dose of Ozempic! The reality with these medications is that you can lose up to 15-20% of your starting weight. Losing even 5% of your body weight can give significant health benefits. You are headed in the right direction and will probably do even better when you start your 2mg dose. Best of luck to you!

I immediately started losing weight on 2.5 MG on Zepbound, lost 12 pounds in first month. I am an experienced dieter. The main reason I lost was because it helped me cut down my food intake by 30% by reducing my appetite, I get full faster, reduced my desire for carbohydrates and allows me to just say no to that extra food. I work with it and don’t expect it to do the hardest dieting work for me.

Yes, Zepbound and the other Glp-1’s that I mentioned are all injected once per week. I listened to the video to see where I might have mistakenly said they are injected monthly, but I don’t hear it anywhere. I don’t believe I actually mentioned how often they are injected in this video (I do have an older video that covers it). Sometimes KZread provides auto captioning; I wonder if the caption came out wrong.

What is your opinion on compounded Tirzepatide? Does it work as well as the brand name drugs?

@veena-usa

2 ай бұрын

Compounded tirzepatide should (in theory) be the same or very similar to the brand name Mounjaro or Zepbound because they will contain the same active ingredient. I’m only familiar with sterile compounding regulations in the U.S. so I can’t speak to one’s produced outside the U.S. When compounding pharmacies fill an order for a patient, it is not supposed to be for the exact same strength and dosage form that is commercially available. They are allowed to compound something with a similar strength /dose that the patient would not be able to get commercially. The device to inject will also be different. The compounded products are not FDA approved but should provide same or similar results.

After bad side effects of metformin my Dr put me on Mounjaro 2.5 for three months with exercising & only lost 6 lbs. I increased to 5.0 for another 3 months and only lost 7 lbs. Very discouraged I couldn't imagine feeling any more full but went up to 7.5 for 2 months and my hair got thinner so I went down to 5.0 and skipped the doses a lot & started intermittent & prolonged fasting. I believe the fasting has been the key for me while using Mounjaro sparingly as a tool. Its been a year & 3 months and I've accepted that weight loss for me is SLOW but Im down 45lbs A1C is 5.6 and on my last box of 2.5 hopefully 🤞🏻

Congratulations on 45 pounds lost and A1c 5.6! Slow is perfectly fine! I hope many people read your comment. Sometimes it takes a long time to lose the weight. Unfortunately, alopecia is an uncommon side effect of Mounjaro and affects females more than males. It sounds like fasting and intermittent fasting were your success. Those that are able to maintain intermittent fasting are often successful with weight loss and it leads to less insulin resistance (according to a meta-analysis published in 2022) so you become healthier. If you can keep the weight off without using any medication and only fasting / intermittent fasting, then excellent for you! That is the best way to live! You are an inspiration and thank you for sharing your journey!

Your comment is important because it is similar to feedback I hear regularly. The downside to losing weight and then gaining it back is that metabolism can slow down after significant weight loss. This can make it harder to lose weight again and maintain weight loss. You are on the right track to try Zepbound. Don't be discouraged; just keep titrating up on the Zepbound. It will be challenging though because it is often unavailable. I am not sure if you have a support system. It will be well worth it to work with a weight loss program. In addition, on the Zepbound website, you can sign up for "Tips, Facts and Inspiration" because they want you to be successful. You can still lose that weight -it will be a bit more challenging now and will take longer. Hang in there!

I took Tirzepatide 2.5mg for 7 weeks loss 10 lbs, I thought I was not losing at a good pace I was instructed to titrate up to 5mg on the 5th week but I remained on 2.5mg because the only side effect I experienced was constipation. So on the 8th week which was Thursday June 6th I decided to titrate up to the 5mg and why oh why did I do that? Friday evening June 7th I realize I had only taking in 712 calories but I wasn't hungry, and I said I better eat a few more calories so about 5:00pm I ate 155 more calories. Three hours later I got so so sick with upper stomach pain, and sulfur burps was coming every 2 minutes seems like, I was in so much pain I tried taking different things nothing worked a hour and a half passed I was still in so much pain, then I started having bad diarrhea and got so dizzy I thought I was going to pass out and I was babysitting my 7 month old great grandson. That was Friday, Saturday woke up still not feeling to myself so I only wanted to eat a very little that day which came to be about 447 calories, and that evening I still got sick again same pain and diarrhea. Today is Sunday June 9, and I'm so afraid to eat, it's 4:07pm and I have not eaten anything all day and not going too. I just now about 20 mins ago drank a good cup of coffee, I pray I don't get sick from that, tomorrow I may try to just do liquids or maybe a light soup, but I will not be taking my 9th injection this Thursday coming and if I start back I'm going back down to the 2.5 mg.

Some patients describe “fermented burps” and others describe “sulfur” taste like yours. Hopefully you can get in touch with your doctor who may move you back down to 2.5mg dose. My patients tell me that very small portions (vs regular size meals) are tolerated better in the beginning. I hope you are feeling better today and especially I hope you can tolerate drinking water so you don’t get dehydrated. By the way, your 10 pound weight loss by 7 weeks is actually much better than you think. Some folks don’t lose any weight on the 2.5mg dose. Your body seems more sensitive to it. Thank you for sharing your experience because it could help others. I wish you a speedy recovery!

What about sublingual semaglutide drops? I'm on the 2nd month, started with 0.5, now at 1ml daily... am i still in introductory stage? Haven't lost a single pound

@veena-usa

6 күн бұрын

Unfortunately, at this time there are no published clinical trials using sublingual semaglutide so there isn’t an established starter dose or maintenance dose. Additionally, the ingredients added by the compounding pharmacy can differ and affect the percent of absorption. I am not sure which concentration of semaglutide you are using. Here is what I can tell you about compounded sublingual semaglutide. Several compounding pharmacies suggest using 0.3mg to 0.5mg as a starter dose and 1mg to 2mg as maintenance. Usually, sublingual dosing is once daily, but there are some exceptions. If you are on less than 1mg, then it is reasonable that the dose is not high enough for you to see weight loss. Something that could affect efficacy: its very important to leave the dose under the tongue for at least 90 seconds before swallowing. Some people hold it in place at least 2 minutes to be on the safe side. Doses that get swallowed without absorption through the blood vessels under the tongue, have only about a 1% rate of absorption. We know this from Rybelsus studies. After reaching the 1mg to 2mg dose and still no weight loss, it would be reasonable to talk to your doctor about switching to the once weekly injection. At least we do have concrete data with the injectable version. Best of luck to you!

Diet and Exercise never worked in the past. Wegovy didn’t change that. I gave it 6 months. Nothing. It did make my nails harder though… No wt loss, but got Nausea on 1.0. Is my sweet spot 0.75? They don’t make that. Luckily ins paid it all, but I’m done.

@veena-usa

Ай бұрын

Unfortunately, you may not have been able to get to a dose high enough to be effective for you for weight loss. I do see several patients that experience nausea at the 1mg dose, but for most, the nausea is temporary and they are able to continue the titration. Probably you would have tolerated a 0.75mg dose (the dose they don’t make) but it may not have worked for weight loss. Since you couldn’t continue due to side effects and no weight loss, you may consider talking to your doctor about trying Zepbound. I’ve seen people have success at lower doses and insurance may cover it since you did already try Wegovy. Also, Zepbound has a slower titration (2.5, 5, 7.5 …). Best of luck to you!

It is very frustrating and unfortunately a scenario that happens frequently. When we lose weight due to eating less calories, our body’s metabolism may slow down. Then, if we go back to eating the original amount of calories, not only does the weight go back on, but since metabolism is slower now, weight can go even higher than before. The great thing is that you are healthy and you exercise. I have a possible suggestion for you that is more affordable than Ozempic. It is an oral prescription medication called Qsymia. It is $98 per month without insurance (see their website). Your doctor will be able to tell you if you are a candidate for it. Knowing your history with Ozempic, it may take you a long time to gradually reach your target weight. Realistically, with Qsymia alone, you may be able to lose about 10% of your body weight. Since you are healthy and you exercise, you may be able to lose even more, but be patient and keep up that exercise! It is going to be a marathon, not a sprint -and it will be worth it. Best of luck to you!

I had weight loss surgery, lost 50 lbs and then the weight loss stopped. Used Semaglutide for several months.... NO weight loss, on Tripeptide for 3 weeks, 2.5 mg starter dose and again NO loss. I follow all the rules but nothing is helping. Calories low, prioritize protein, lots of water, daily walking. I feel great but can't get the scale to move. Is moving up on dose my option? I have no negative side effects.

@veena-usa

2 ай бұрын

Yes! Since you have no negative side effects, move up to 5mg of tirzepatide. I’m not sure what you were at with semaglutide, but if it was less than max dose than it could have been why it didn’t work. For you, weight loss may be a slower process. All of us have unique genetics and some may get weight loss on a low dose but most need a middle or even high dose to see results. I love that you are doing all the right things! Now it’s time to continue your good lifestyle habits, and be patient as you titrate up the dose. At the 2.5mg dose, it’s just not high enough to work for most people. If you are not already doing resistance training, that will help prevent muscle loss when the weight starts coming off. Best of luck to you!

Depending on the type of hormone medication you are taking (and the health condition), it may impact your ability to lose weight or it may not. There are many factors involved and your doctor will be able to help determine if the hormone is making it more difficult. I am wondering if it is Wegovy that you have been taking for the past year at highest dose. If so, the good news is that switching to Zepbound may actually trigger better weight loss because it works through 2 different pathways in the body. If you are in the USA and you have tried Wegovy and its not working for you, your doctor can ask your insurance company to cover Zepbound (its called a prior authorization). Even if you and your doctor determine that your medication is making weight loss more challenging, you may still be able to lose some more weight, but it will probably take longer. If your insurance allows you to see a dietician, that may be helpful, just to make sure that part is optimized. Best of luck to you!

It controls glucose levels just as well as Ozempic and studies show better weight loss. I don't want you to have to share too much private info here, but take a look at the other medicines you take and talk to your doctor or pharmacist to determine if any of these have weight gain as a common side effect. Assuming you don't have an issue with another health condition or medicine causing the weight, then my best luck to you to fill your first Mounjaro prescription. It is hard to find, but looks like the right direction for you.

Don’t be discouraged! Pause for a minute and congratulate yourself for going down 2 pant sizes! Additionally, not everyone has the determination to do time restricted eating and OMAD is the strictest version so I know you are determined. Here is what may be happening: you may be experiencing something called “Body Recomposition.” This is when you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. This is a good thing and muscle is denser than fat and weighs more than fat. This causes your body to be thinner and more toned. This will only happen if you are exercising and apparently you are doing it well. That said, I am glad you will be meeting with your doctor. Hopefully you will be able to have a good discussion to go over everything (all of your health conditions, medications…). Yes, I think it will be appropriate to ask for Mounjaro (or Zepbound) if your weight fits the criteria. Best of luck to you!

I also have hypothyroidism and taking Wegovy does it affect me losing weight?

@veena-usa

2 ай бұрын

If you have uncontrolled hypothyroidism, then losing weight will be a challenge. The reason I mentioned it in the video is just in case someone has undiagnosed or uncontrolled hypothyroidism. If you are taking medication to correct your hypothyroidism, and your TSH is in proper range, then you will be able to lose weight using Wegovy just as anyone else. You will always need to make sure your thyroid stays in proper range. It will be dangerous for your thyroid to be too high or too low and too low results in weight gain. By the way, the TSH number is inversely related to thyroid level (the lower the number, the higher the thyroid hormone level). Lastly, since Wegovy can slow stomach emptying, it has the ability to cause the concentration of levothyroxine to be slightly higher, but it is not usually significant.

2 ай бұрын

It depends on several factors. The vast majority of patients with Type 2 Diabetes start out with Metformin. However, Ozempic is now also considered an option for first line treatment. If you are not overweight and / or will have difficulty continuing Ozempic due to the price, then I would start with Metformin. You can always add Ozempic on top of Metformin after your body gets used to Metformin. This is a common combination. If you are significantly overweight in addition to Type 2 Diabetes and your insurance coverage allows Ozempic at a reasonable price that you can afford, then I would opt for Ozempic. Depending on your A1c, you may need to eventually be on both medications -but you should not start them simultaneously due to gastrointestinal upset during the titration period for both of these.

However, for unknown reasons, there are also a very small percentage of people who do not lose weight.
