One more ozempic experience/theory

lilpenny

May 25, 4:44am

I'm seriously confused how so many people get it.

Madam Pattirini

May 25, 5:26am

Its really not hard. You go to a doctor and say you want to get on it. They say ok and send a prescription.

P-Boy Squad

May 25, 5:59am

Some doctors will not prescribe it for weight loss unless you have diabetes

2FarGone

May 25, 7:21am

approved for weight loss now. Not hard to find a doctor that will approve it

Idahoancoug91

May 25, 8:25am

There’s compound pharmacy’s that make a generic for a monthly fee.

Idahoancoug91

May 25, 8:24am

If EVERYONE in Brazil is taking it, it's not working.

DubuMfalme

May 25, 5:35am

I can only imagine the price will continue to drop. There's already competition

Mostlyaccurate

May 25, 5:45am

Compounded semaglutide already exists

TN_Coug

May 25, 6:15am

What’s the benefit of ozempic over compounded semaglutide?

WP17

May 25, 6:55am

Compound is cheaper.

TN_Coug

May 25, 7:07am

They are the same thing

sunspot

May 25, 7:09am

None. Can get for abt $170 for 6 weeks or so supply thru compounding pharm.

Soupie

May 25, 7:41am

Where in Utah?

Swishfromdeep3

Mountain View pharm in Bountiful. Westlake Pharmacy in Saratoga springs

Any side effects for you or wife?

CLCougar

May 25, 6:54am

None

lilpenny

May 25, 7:21am

Some people don’t tolerate even a low dose, vomiting.

Soupie

May 25, 7:42am

Tirzepatide has fewer side effects. Taking a half dose every 4 days also helps.

ImBlueDaBaDe

May 28, 11:46pm

I don’t fully understand how it works, but there has to be muscle loss too with this, correct?

cruiserhead

May 25, 6:59am

They say to definitely up your protein intake. But then there are constipation

pink22

May 25, 7:01am

But at least you’ll look good while your constipated 😉

Crowd Factor

May 25, 10:45am

Or what other side effect you have. Honestly vanity is very powerful.

pink22

May 25, 10:48am

Sometimes it has nothing to do w/ vanity but rather health & life longevity.

Soupie

May 25, 1:08pm

Right but everyone I know taking it isn’t overweight

pink22

May 25, 1:17pm

Then you know some vane people but don’t lump everyone together. It’s like saying the gym is full of

Soupie

May 25, 1:21pm

BMI 25+ is overweight. Maybe they aren’t since they take it?

wildwilderness

May 25, 3:46pm

Anyone who loses weight will lose muscle. Exercise and protein decrease that

cougaman

May 25, 7:11am

Kind of

lilpenny

May 25, 7:22am

It works by slowing the digestion process. Feel full much longer.

Soupie

May 25, 7:43am

And that is all it is

Belboz

May 25, 9:27am

Bad take

byuinva

May 25, 11:00am

It's very accurate. Semaglutide is an appetite suppressant

Belboz

May 25, 11:07am

But they’d be miserable with a much lower probability of success. Don’t think people realize that the same 1500 cals in

Soupie

May 25, 1:12pm

But the key is the same; eat less

Belboz

May 25, 1:41pm

And if a person faithfully tracks eating 1000-1200 cals a day, do you suppose they should lose weight? What if they dont

Soupie

May 25, 4:00pm

If a person takes semaglutide and loses weight while eating 1000 calories

Belboz

May 25, 4:48pm

It’s more than an appetite suppressant, and the human body is more complicated

byuinva

May 25, 4:14pm

A simple Google search refutes your basic claim. It’s so much more than an

byuinva

May 25, 4:18pm

I'll critique one point in that before going too far

Belboz

May 25, 4:52pm

Curious what could convince you that “I’m fat because of my genes”.

5150man

May 25, 1:36pm

Eat less and lose weight

Belboz

May 25, 1:44pm

Not sure how much you’ve studied obesity but that sounds perfect for someone with a genetic predisposition to thinness.

5150man

May 25, 1:53pm

If you eat less and lose weight, tne eating less probably contributed

Belboz

May 25, 1:55pm

Eating less 100% contributed. The “ability” to eat less has a genetic component that these drugs can influence.

5150man

May 25, 2:08pm

Real life hunger games. Disgusting

chismoso

May 25, 7:36am

I’m not sure how this is different than any other form of dieting.

lilpenny

May 25, 7:45am

Thats convenient. You dont see a difference in being gluttonous only to take

chismoso

May 25, 7:47am

Those who work out often take all sorts of supplements to “trick” their body into higher performance.

Soupie

May 25, 7:52am

The original post basically said people will gorge on food for holidays

chismoso

May 25, 8:42am

Believe I addressed that aspect.

Soupie

May 25, 8:44am

Bringing up waste of food resources is bizarre.

Madam Pattirini

May 25, 9:11am

Because that's the only outcome, right?

sah22

May 25, 7:53am

The people who get mad about others becoming healthy is crazy.

WP17

May 25, 8:01am

The people who make assumptions based on 15 words posted are crazy

chismoso

May 25, 8:40am

Indeed

Soupie

May 25, 8:45am

Outside of active war zones famine/hunger is a thing of the past. Diabetes is now the issue in sub Saharan Africa

WP17

May 25, 8:46am

People are addicted to food. Lots of people want to eat less but can’t do it

Reasonable1

May 25, 8:15am

The social aspect of food is crazy too. People act insulted if you don’t participate.

Soupie

May 25, 8:24am

You literally have no idea what you are speaking about

Socrates Johnson

May 25, 8:30am

Correct. I don’t see a difference

lilpenny

May 25, 8:50am

So often, we confuse losing weight with exercise

Belboz

May 25, 11:05am

Except it’s the opposite of hunger. It’s the real life “not hungry” games.

Reasonable1

May 29, 9:26am

I am on it and notice nothing don’t feel full or anything

karatekid

May 25, 8:06am

How long & how have you increased dose?

Soupie

May 25, 8:12am

I am about to take my third dose today

karatekid

May 25, 8:13am

Small increase in doses

karatekid

May 25, 8:14am

May just need longer & to get to higher dose.

Soupie

May 25, 8:18am

You are probably on 1/8 the final dose

cougaman

May 25, 8:14am

Hmmm you don’t feel like you are exacerbating inequality?

JohnnyComeLately

May 25, 8:20am

I've only been back for 12 hours after a 3-day suspension, so... No.

Belboz

May 25, 9:49am

Its like no one remembers Fen-phen.

Grock

May 25, 8:20am

This is a good point, IMO. But people do remember.

Madam Pattirini

May 25, 9:13am

Ya, I don’t trust meds until they’ve been in the market for a decade and then

Blue chunks

May 25, 10:19am

GLP-1’s have been prescribed since 2005: Bydureon, Byetta, Victoza, Trulicity.

Unfrozen Caveman

May 25, 1:32pm

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

Blue chunks

May 28, 10:27pm

The latest studies show Cardiovascular benefits as well, even if you don’t lose

wildwilderness

May 25, 10:22am

There is no 'free lunch'

blue13

May 25, 10:52am

And semaglutide works more like a crutch

Belboz

May 25, 11:02am

has your wife looked into cool sculpting for those pesky 10 lbs?
