    Default Ozempic, Wegovy, Semaglutide Injections (Also Rybelsus brand oral dosage)

    Given how much this has been in the news and advertising media, I'm surprised there isn't a thread already. Hell, it's all over hockey broadcasts.
    Semaglutide injections (under the brand name Ozempic) were released for Type 2 Diabetes, but a happy side effect of weight loss means they and a different dosage under the brand name Wegovy are now commonly prescribed for Obesity and weight management.
    https://www.cfp.ca/content/67/11/842
    I guess there is an oral dosage available as well under a the Rybelsus brand name.

    Has even apparently been a trend for social media influencers, which doesn't sound like a good place for health advice to me.

    I like how all the people in the ad's are fat. #inclusive
    Tires that are supposed to grip? Show a burnout.
    Drugs supposed to make you lose weight? Show fatties.

    When's the ad for Gravol coming out that shows someone puking like the Epicac Challenge?

    And now I don't have to ask my doctor about Ozempic. Thanks ES.

    Anyone tried it? I could use to lose a few. Though I'm still not over my health issues yet.

    The other side effect is all the fatties who are gobbling this shit up with their XL Diet Cokes are creating a shortage for the people who the medicine was intended for.
    Which is fucking up the price... Which the drug companies are exploiting... To the detriment of the very people they claim to want to help.

    Drug companies want to help drug company shareholders.

    They want to help sick Americans who have coverage. Helping drug company share holders is a side effect.

    Until you stick a microphone in front of them. Then they're "thoughts & prayers, Bae - I'm all about the peep's, Yo!"

    I'm not necessarily calling for govt intervention. But I think people should be more aware of how their decisions to "try everything" except a semi-reasonable diet and walking their walrus-ass a few steps here & there ends up affecting others in a negative way.

    How's that for fat shaming! LoL!!
    What's even worse is the only person I know who is taking this is a long way from "fat". Maybe 20 pounds overweight by medical standards.
    Which is probably even worse! LoL

    If the cost of being not fat is $5000 per year and zero willpower than its a very fair price for many people. Decent value.

    Sounds like its way better than just not eating sugar and getting off your fat ass and excercising.

    Talking about the weightloss aspect not diabetes treatment
    Tap, Rack, BANG!

    If you're taking this to lose some fat, you fatty, you better be hitting the weights and hitting protein macros

    https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/hea...30-p5cgio.html

    Lot's of people apparently are losing equal parts fat and muscle, meaning at the end of the day they are left with less muscle, lower basal metabolic rate, likely setting them up to get just as fat if not fatter again.

    Ozempic is not indicated for those looking to "lose a few pounds". I will probably have 3-4 people in my schedule today that will ask about it. Most if not all will not meet the criteria for management of obesity using Ozempic.
    The bottom line is simple, if you have not done the difficult work (ie: working on your thoughts towards eating, and your relationship with food) you will regain the weight (and more) on discontinuation of the treatment. Once we sit down and talk about this, most prefer to take some time to work on lifestyle modification before pursuing medical options.
    There is another subset, that has done the work, cleaned up the diet, are sleeping right, thinking right, and are doing exercise, but due to one of a hundred other factors (ie: other comorbidity), the weight is still not coming off. Ozempic works great in this kind of situation. Likely will require long term treatment with it.
    Side effects are horrible, nausea, vomiting. The medication makes you not want to eat. Does not sound fun at all. Many discontinue in the first few weeks after being unable to tolerate it at even low doses.
    My wife is an internist with ABOM certification and she deals with cases that fail medical treatment, and then go on to the bariatric route after meeting certain criteria. Weight loss/management is a daily discussion in our house. The biggest thing that I have learned, through her ongoing learning, is that a major mental shift must happen if weight is to be lost. This means digging deep, and really addressing what is driving your eating. It could be fatigue, lonelieness, anxiety, sadness, happiness, feeling empty, feeling content........you see where this is headed. Why are you eating? Why am I sitting here drinking coffee with milk in it right now while typing this post.

    interesting post/article.

    Ozempic seems like a really bad and hamfisted way to get the calorie consumption down. They need an Ozempic 2.0 that makes hyperpalatable foods less palatable.

    I can tell you from experience that getting your calories to a 500-700 calorie deficit while maintaining a gram of protein per pound of target body weight is fucking HARD. It's hard for a few days, doing it for the months and years it will take to get some of these fatties down will be virtually impossible.

    No, I mean he articulated the important relevant points in a very clear and straightforward way.
