    When did you start seeing weight loss? I’m on Wegovy and still titrating and I’m underwhelmed by the results big time.

      Not on it, but Primary Care clinical staff. Lots of people feel underwhelmed at the start. Some are more “slow and steady” than others. I would try not to judge the clinical results until after some time at 2.4mg.

        Thanks very much for this reply. I’ve been seeing a dietician whose advise is that I’ve been eating too little to lose weight and that feels absolutely stupid.

        I’ll admit since I increased my intake I’ve been feeling better, and I haven’t gained any weight, but I’m impatient. I wish I could just stop eating and lose it that way…

      It was slow for me. I was on .25mg/week of Ozempic at the start and now am on 1mg/week. It is the right amount for me. I’ve been losing 8-10lbs each month and doing nothing else but eat less. If I were to incorporate more exercise, I could lose it at a higher rate.

        I’m on 1.3 and I’m just not seeing what I want to see… I’ll try to be patient. Thanks!

          There’s also the bow shock you experience as your habits change. When I started, I still had the bad habit of overeating, but Ozempic won’t allow it. I eventually learned to eat less or regret it. How long have you been on it and how much have you lost so far?
