Great job !!! Its a long ride. I just started month 6 this morning. I'm staying on the 10mg this month. I can't seem to force myself to eat enough protein in a day. I actually gained 2 pounds the last 2 weeks. I got to 63 pounds lost, now I'm back at 61lbs. She says its normal and to eat more protein.

here we go!

Buzz, mixing protein powder with coffee may help. Ask your Dr. Or whatever you want to mix it in.

think youre on to something. I'll use a protein shake in coffee tomorrow morning.

Walmart canned chicken has 250 calories and about 45 grams of protein. Four cans is about $8. 12.5 oz. cans.

Ive been eating the Natural Catch Tuna. Expensive but really good (for tuna). I need to get some canned chicken, its good. problem is, I'm just not hungry anymore. I almost have to force myself to eat.

Mtn ops has a mountain mocha, and chocolate caramel. Very pro hunting company

Thanks BOBO, I'll check it out. Can you buy it anywhere local or just online?

65 pounds down.

Good work. Keep it up.

65 down is impressive, however you do it! I lost 80 in a couple of months due to chemo and radiation, but I don’t recommend that as a weight loss strategy!

Red Devil Juice, terrible way to lose weight. Glad your doing good!!

I'm very happy for you, but it won't be long and you'll be spending all your extra gun money on clothes

I am down from 202 to 178 in 2 1/2 months on 5mg. I am debating on staying on this for a while or possibly jumping to the 7.5
Thoughts.... I would like to get to 170-175 and then maintain there...

How are y'all getting this? Insurance won't approve it for me.

TKM, you may need to get your Dr to appeal it to the insurance company. If you don't have diabetes or no clinically obese you will find it hard to get approved. The Ozempic pens retail price is $1,000 for a month's supply at a 0.5ml dosage. You might see if you can find a phamacy that will compound a generic version for you. I've heard prices around $200 for the equivalent. There was quite a bit of abuse when the weight loss benefit to Ozempic was discovered.

The maximum recommended dose of Semaglutide is 2/0ml. I don't think you could find anyone to prescribe that high of a dose. You're also supposed to do a laddered approach when starting on it or if you are increasing the dosage. Be careful, more is not necessarily better. That stuff will totally mess up you digestive system even on much lower doses than the max of 2.0ml's.

maybe that is ml and not mg.
Heck I never looked. I just know that I can go to 7.5 if I wanted.. I have heard it will mess with your stomach that is why we started on the 2.5 to start.

MG per ML. as you go up in dosage the MG get higher per ML. That way you arent having to sub Q a whole syringe, or get larger volume syringes

Down 71 pounds this morning. Starting on my 7th month.

Only side effect is constipation. Take a big swig of Phillips Milk of Magnesia every three days keeps it moving. This works for me YMMV.

Medicare does not cover this for me. I go through a doctor near me. They use a compound pharmacy to make my Tarazepide (Munjaro). Munjaro and Wegovy are for weight loss. Tarazepide is the name of the actual juice. I inject myself every Friday. I use a syringe and do it,

I take Ozempic for my borderline type 2. My entire pen is 2mg/3ml. I take 0.25 ml's because any higher of a dose just plugs me up unmercifully I know you take an increased dose for weight loss, but 7.5 mg sounds awfully high to me. Maybe you're getting a weaker strength compounded. You need to be careful with your dosage. More is not necessarily better. You could do some real harm to your body. Just my opinion.

lost 74 pounds as of this morning.

That's a good chunk of lard to be shed of.

Congrats Buzz! That is fantastic! I am down 54 (started at 260) and have since transitioned to Phentermine 37.5 MG. Constipation is still the biggest challenge but sure curbs the appetite.

great news!! Great not having to shop big and tall anymore.

I’m down 32lbs. From 202 to 170. Been fluctuating 168-170 the last few days.
