Took my second injection of 0.25mg Ozempic and can already tell my body composition is slowly changing. Within the first hour or so I had this boost in energy and have begun to tackle chores around the house that long needed tending. My hunger subsides soon and I feel "full" much longer. Paying attention to eating lots of nutrititous food while reducing the junk. Walking my steps during the week and weightlifting at the gym on the weekend.

Did doc start you off slow? What dose are you on? Did you eat a lot of junk before? How long will you be on it? I was surprised the needle didn't hurt at all, I could barely feel it. I'm such a big crybaby, hahaha 😂

@PatKirby yes I started at 0.25 mg for the first 4 doses then 0.5 mg last Wednesday! I used to drink a lot of coffee with a lot of sugar in it which made me obese. Now I am quickly losing the weight on this drug about 1- 3 lbs per week!

Ok I see, so they increased the dosage. I wonder if I should boost as well. Did you have to see the doctor again for them to increase or was it part of the game plan? Got an appt to see doc as a follow up. This is good news, good for you 👍
