Side Effects: I have now had my 2nd dose of the .5 mg and nothing seems to have changed. I’m curious to see if I feel differently once I take the 1 mg dose. I will know after this next week.
Sugar Levels: I couldn’t be happier with my sugar levels. There were a few numbers this past week in the 120s. I also saw a 93 early one morning – which is unheard of for me. I won’t know about my actual A1C number until I visit the doctor again in December. I’m definitely hopeful that it will decrease from last time.
Weight Loss: I lost 1.6 pounds for week 5 on Ozempic.
- Week 1: -4.5 lbs
- Week 2: –1.5 lbs
- Week 3: -1 lb
- Week 4: -2.8 lbs
- Week 5: -1.6 lbs
- Total: -11.4 lbs
Thoughts From This Week
It surprises me that I’m already done with week 5 on Ozempic. It feels like it was just the other day I sat in the doctor’s office, talking about options to help me with my sugar levels.
I was hopeful for more weight loss this past week, but to be honest, I haven’t really been trying. I’m thinking that if I want this medicine to help me with my weight as well as my sugar, then I should start paying more attention to my food choices during the times that I am hungry.
Goals for Today:
- Sit by the Fire & Read
- Get Ready for Halloween (Costume for School)
- Make Meatloaf (I love making Meatloaf. It’s a ‘hodge-podge’ kind of meal.)
