Picked up my first box today and I'm equal parts excited and nervous. My doctor walked me through the injection but I'd love advice from people who've actually been on it: - What time of day did you find easiest to inject? - Did you change anything about your diet the first week or just let your body adjust? - Anything you wish someone had warned you about? Starting on 2.5mg this Sunday.
Going to a wedding next weekend. Cocktail hour is all carb-heavy passed apps (mini grilled cheese, etc.) and dinner is pasta or chicken parm. I usually eat protein first and stop when full but I literally can't with this menu. Do you eat beforehand? Bring a protein bar in your purse? Just embrace the carbs for one night and move on?
Their Premier Protein 4-pack is like $7. I've been blending one with: - 1 cup frozen mixed berries - 1 tbsp PB powder - A handful of ice - Splash of unsweetened almond milk 40g protein, tastes like a smoothie shop drink, and I can actually finish it on days when food feels impossible. Cheap, fast, repeatable. I have one most mornings now.
Just hit my 3-week mark on 0.25mg Ozempic. Down 6 lbs so far, but the first week nausea was no joke. Eating smaller meals and avoiding greasy food made a huge difference. Anyone else notice appetite suppression kicking in around week 2?
