The Ozempic Files

[Poppy]

Please keep us posted. Very interesting stuff.

 

[Poppy]

For context…

Wifey has lost 35 pounds in about a year. She has dialed back to .25 for a couple of months now due to too much loss.

She’s leveled out now.

Just reread this. You’re a big guy.

 

[Kicksave]

Yes. Much bigger than I should be. The Wegovy seems to be curbing my daytime and overall appetite quite a bit. It may also be that subconsciously I am aware that I need to cut the shit with over eating. However last night I did wake to take a piss and stopped at the fridge for a keto bar and frozen yogurt bar and washed it down with an aha blood orange soda water.
Progress not perfection. Still waiting for my labs to come back from quest. almost 2 weeks now.

 

[Dirtnasty]

They usually only take 5 days nothing in your mywuest

 

[Poppy]

Not getting out of the woods overnight.
Yet the journey has commenced.

Perfect

Still waiting for my labs to come back from quest. almost 2 weeks now.

That’s unusual. I have mine in a few days but I also use the app like @Dirtnasty

 

[Kicksave]

Got my Labs back.
Not sure what it all means. Lot more green boxes than red. Hoping the Collective Brain trust here can help shed some light, and make suggestions, in which I can shed the extra stores of unneeded, unhealthy fat. I’ve been off growth pretty much all year.
My weight is fluttering between 250-254
I am started hgh again. it’ll be 3 ius 5 days a week.
I am on roughly 250 ius of 250 Test Cyp, 50 mg of anastrozole. 25 mg of wegovy and increasing to 50 next week. Hopefully that will squelch my appetite some. I haven’t been to the gym in 3 months. I am working on my sedentary work style, which means O need to get up more often than to piss.
So yeah I’m calling myself out. Curious what y’all think

Labs don’t look terrible. Actually not bad cept for that sugar.

Have you been diagnosed with type two beetes yet? If not you’re heading that way.

Of course you’re determined to get some excess bw off so that’s going to help you out big time.

 

[Poppy]

I’ve never taken wegovy. If it’s anything like ozempic… you’ll see some results after bumping up to .5.

 

[Kicksave]

not terrible is way better than I had hoped for. Beetes and me have not been diagnosed with type 2…yet.
Wegovey and Ozempic are the same drug prescribed for different conditions. Wegovey is for Obesity (me 38.5 bmi ) and Ozempic for type 2 Diabetes. (me too if I don’t stop fucking around)

I am thinking about getting a body scan this week to really see what my muscle vs fat ratio is before kicking into gear and “gear”

 

[Poppy]

Losing the “excessive” bw will improve your blood sugar…almost always does.

This is interesting to me.

 

[Poppy]

Weird turn of events. My blood sugar has not stayed down as well as my doctor had wanted and weight loss leveled out and started trending up. Basically sugar and weight is trending in the wrong direction.

I’m officially on 1.0 mg of ozempic @ week. Up from .5.

This might be interesting.

 

[Poppy]

Update. First 1 mg dose

Stayed on the after Sunday supper dosing.

The 1mg had a little more “bite” to it while injecting than the .5. It subsided immediately.

 

[Poppy]

You’re probably aware of this already but I’m going to post it for everyone else.

I had a bit of carbs before bed last night so I wouldn’t wake up hypoglycemic. I couldn’t stomach much.

Got up early and drove to work. About halfway here I realized I was hypo…should have ate something at the house.

Got here and ate some of my smaller snacks and as usual… don’t feel good.

 

[Poppy]

This 1 mg of ozempic is no joke. Making me feel full almost a full 7 days… where as the .5 was wearing off about day 4.

I’m having to eat extremely small portions way more frequently to keep from going hypo.

 

[Poppy]

All right kiddos

Just took my first 2mg shot.

Doctor prescribed it Friday. Hopefully this will help my a1c. I’m not doing bad, I just need a little (more) help.

Surprisingly enough. On 1mg a week I managed to maintain my bw of 195-197.

Full disclosure : I’ve been on 12.5 - 50mgs of tbol three x a week pwo.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Question on cravings and what not do you feel it affects the amount of liquids you consume. My girl wAnts to try it as she sees it helping ex coworkers lose weight. Sure doesn’t eat a whole lot that drinks minsters and cokes daily. I don’t mind getting it for her as she has diabetes in the family so if helps that any and she loses
Some
Weight it would be good for her health

 

[Poppy]

Yes…liquids do set heavy for me…especially coffee and soft drinks.

I can only drink maybe 4-5 ozs of a diet Dr Pepper now. A cup of coffee is maxed out.

I’m forcing h2o in me. Still maintaining a gallon plus a day but it’s extremely intentional now.

 

[Poppy]

Everything I consume sits like a brick in my gut… for a long time.
