How fast is weight loss on ozempic?

I am actually thinking of asking my doctor about this for my weight issues. Does the weight loss start in the very first week, or does it take a couple of months to show any real difference? I am a bit nervous about starting injections.

According to my endocrinologist, patients typically lose about 1% of their body weight per week on therapeutic doses of Ozempic. The initial low dose of 0.25 mg is just to accustom your body, so significant weight loss usually starts after moving to higher doses at month two. Proper diet is still essential.

I kept worrying that my dose was too low because I didn't lose anything in the first ten days, which made me so anxious. But honestly, it takes time to build up in your system. Don't worry, you are not alone in this, just give it a month and you will see the change.

I just finished a six-month course under my doctor and lost around 12 kg. The appetite suppression starts within 2-3 days, but the actual visible weight loss on the scale took about 4 weeks to show up clearly. It was a very steady and comfortable journey for me.

At my age, I have tried many diets, but my doctor put me on this for my sugar and weight. It took about three months to show a noticeable difference of 5 kg, so don't rush. Patience is the key to healthy aging, beta.
