A true doctor..very well spoken. I know a few people that started with 1.25 dose... they doing great.

Great information. Thankyou Dr. Stirrett

Can the background noise be removed please? Very irritating.
You have to record in some quieter place.

😂The background music with embedded shrieking! 😱😳🤯

Very helpful video, thank you very much!

This was really helpful!

1-2 bowel movements per day? I never had that in my entire life, much less on Wegovy.

Im getting ready to begin...Great information!!  Thank you!!

This was very helpful. Thank you 🙏

Hi,
I’m watching this after being on my GLP1 for about 6 weeks.  I was still having pretty significant side effects of mostly nausea fatigue at 4 weeks. I lost 14 pounds month one, but was so sick I couldn’t exercise. My Internal Medicine doctor and I decided to keep me on the 0.25 dosage.  However, the week 5 shot felt almost like I didn’t even take anything after about day 4, just like you said. I was hungry and wanting to snack. (I didn’t, but it was hard).  I am also an IICU nurse.  I decided to take my shot early by one day just to see if it would make a difference and it did a little bit.  I’m going to take it 2 days early this week and message him and let him know how it’s been going.  He’s usually very collaborative, I love the idea of micro dosing every 4 days instead of larger doses every 7.  I hope my doctor agrees. Great video.  Thank you!

I'm on week 2 of Wegovy.  My doc started me out on 0.25 mg.  The first day, the food noise stopped.  I had zero side effects the first week.  My eating habits changed overnight.  The hunger stopped and I made a conscious effort to eat better.  

I had a few side effects this second week.  If I eat too much fat, even the good fat, I get a little diarrhoea.  I had some random sulphur burps but that's done.  I took my second dose on Monday (it's Friday today) and the next day the fatigue hit me and I had to leave work at lunch time.  I arrived home and fell asleep for 5 hours.  By the following day I was back to my energetic self.  I make sure I drink enough water too and if I'm feeling a little off, I drink electrolytes and I bounce back.

I'll be weighing myself at the end of week 4 to give my body a chance to shed some fat.  But my joints don't hurt any more, I have way more energy than ever before and I sleep like a log.  I can get out of bed without panting and the morning stiffness I felt all over has disappeared.  All in all, it's been a positive experience.

The biggest mistake I made was treating the scale like it was the CEO of my happiness. 😆 Once the food noise quietend and I started focusing on protein, strength training, energy levels and how I actually felt, everything got easier. The weight loss followed.

Eat a protein enriched meal at least one time a day ! Sometimes you don’t want to eat but eat healthy and drink lots of water ! Take a daily power walk too! Get some sunshine 😎🚶‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

Ive been using the 2.5 dose for 8 months. Every 7 days . Havent increased dose ( as food "noise" stopped on 1st day!)   been able to control -NO snacks! lots of water through the day, im eating much healthier, lots of protein ( 2 eggs or greek yoghurt & berries for breakfast, tuna or sardines for lunch with bone broth soup, and chicken & veg evening.  Im losing slow & steady, plus gentle regular exercising ( walk  3-4 times a week) then 15 mins thai chi walking (free vids on youtube)  and ive lost 13 kgs . got another 12kgs to go, and im very happy with how its going and I wont be increasing dose!  then, i reckon I'll be able to come off without any issues !!

Useful!

Each step up in the standard dosing progression isn't doubling the previous dose.  That only happens from level 1 to level 2.

For Tirzepatide/Mounjaro/Zepbound, the standard dose progression just adds 2.5 mg every month.  That isn't doubling the previous dose.

I recommend that everyone using ozempic watch this video. The information provided is a must for all beginners.

Right, why increase so fast.  Common sense means you would be more addicted to it or need it to maintain weight.

Very educative video for me because my Dr didn’t tell me anything I’m just getting educated about it on Youtube with other doctors. My first month and half using the 2.5mg I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks, and decided to do another 2.5mg because 2.5lbs per week was already very good, eating only healthy food and exercising daily (8-12km walk a day 5-6x a week and muscle-development exercises). The frustrating part is that I was already pretty active but I was never losing weight until I started Zepbound. I think that I was not eating enough food or protein prior Zepbound which is now my number 1 priority. So the key is exercising and eating enough protein to keep muscle mass and energy.

my gp pushes me on hight dose, if i loose 1 kg in a month ist not enought for her. i do ketovore but get constipatet after 1.0mg dose nausia and very very exhausted. i do have fibrobyalgi. i like to get down to 0,5mg instead.
