How fast do weight loss injections work?

I've been seeing ads for weight loss injections and some people at my office are trying them. They seem promising but I want to know how quickly these injections start working and when one can expect to see changes?

Some people start seeing changes in appetite within a week, but the actual weight loss takes months. I asked my endocrinologist at Fortis about this last month. You should go to a good hospital and get a proper prescription instead of buying them online.

Hey, don't rush into these things expecting magic in a few days. They generally take a few weeks to show real scale changes because they slowly adjust your metabolism. Just stay safe, don't skip your normal meals, and let your body adapt slowly.

Actually, it varies from person to person, yaar. Some of my friends saw their appetite drop in just 3-4 days, but the weight scale takes at least a month to show proper results. It's not a magic eraser, you still have to watch your diet.

I have been on these injections for four months now. The food cravings died down in the first week itself, but actual fat loss became visible only by the second month. Make sure you eat enough protein, otherwise you will lose muscle instead of fat.

These medical injections work on your hormones within a few weeks to reduce hunger. However, true health comes when you align your diet with mild daily movement. Try to do basic pranayama along with whatever treatment your doctor gives.

I panicked during my first week because I felt quite nauseous and didn't lose even half a kilo. But my doc said it takes time for the body to adjust. By week three, the nausea stopped and the slow, steady weight loss actually began.

Honestly, they start working on your appetite within 48 hours. I stopped thinking about food all the time, which helped me cut calories. But don't expect to lose 10 kgs in a week, it takes a couple of months of steady routine.
