Can normal people lose weight by injecting semaglutide?

Let me talk about the conclusion first. The doctor (outpatient doctor of the Department of Metabolism/Bariatric Surgery, General Surgery Department, Beijing Tertiary Hospital) said that the side effects are very small and can be used by normal people (normal people refer to non-diabetic patients, not any other implicit meaning, to cope with the problem), but this is Only diabetics can take the medicine through medical insurance, others have to pay for it out of their own pocket. (Sino-Japanese Friendship, Department of Surgery, Bariatric Metabolism) Personal immature opinion: It is very suitable for friends who gain weight because they cannot control their eating! ! ! It will make you lose your appetite completely, and it will simply open the door to a new world. You will no longer have any appetite after looking at the things you used to like very much, and many things will make you feel tired. This is a human being that I didn’t understand at all before. How could I not like eating potato chips so delicious (by the way potato chips dipped in yogurt yyds)! But thinking about the strong appetite before, is there something wrong ~ 2023.01.11 Thoughts Because friends have been collecting and liking it, I think it is necessary to update my current status. Overall, this time I failed to lose weight. My current weight is back to about 64kg. I cried loudly.jpg I kept it for a while after I stopped taking the medicine. I returned to my home from November to December, and I happily fished and ate at home. Taking out food, lying down, staying up late to watch the World Cup... my weight returned to around 64-65. Then I got yang again, and my weight returned to 61-62, but it came back quickly after I recovered. This week I’m controlling my diet + exercise again (I danced Liu Genghong or Pamela after work in the evening, I just insisted on it for two days...). I hope I won’t be too ugly when I go home for the New Year to attend the class reunion... My summary is this, this time I only rely on diet to lose weight. Controlling appetite to reduce intake can indeed achieve a certain amount of weight loss in the early stage. However, the body fat content should always be very high, maybe even higher, so the basic metabolism should be gradually decreasing, so the weight will no longer decrease even if the intake is still very low in the later period. For people like me who love to eat but have no self-control, this method is more or less treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. After all, you can't rely on external forces to control your diet all your life. This is why I gained weight again in the later period. I still have to satisfy my appetite from time to time. However, I think people always have to take detours. This time I lost weight and got out of the state of overeating in time. The state of overeating last year was really only due to my perseverance. It seemed very Get out of trouble. And I have a stamp of thought, convinced that eating less is the most important thing to lose weight! ! ! But exercise is also essential to maintain basic metabolism, good physical fitness, and living conditions. (I also have a few thoughts. I was reading "The Beauty of Systems" recently. It mentioned that one of the characteristics of the system is the adaptive ability. The human body is actually a complex system. Breaking the balance of the system by external forces will affect its adaptive ability, making it more flexible. The system becomes fragile. To protect your body, it is important to ensure a state of physical and mental balance!) 2022.9.29 Summary The second phase comes to an end, and the second injection is completed. It lasted for 8 weeks, and my weight has been fluctuating between 61-62kg. It can be said that I have not lost any weight at this stage:(, which is sad. The dose has been maintained at 0.5 during this stage, and my appetite is obviously relatively normal, and of course I am not that painful. , because I have a good appetite and I feel happy eating, unlike the previous stage where I didn’t want to eat anything... I understand that according to my situation, the dose should actually be increased. Let me talk about some of my feelings at this stage, because my appetite has recovered. Now, I have regained the feeling I had before that everything tastes delicious and I want to eat everything. At ten or eleven o'clock in the evening, I feel like eating late-night snacks, and my appetite becomes difficult to control. I also deeply feel why I used to Being so fat, I don’t want to eat all the time. Spicy strips, potato chips, and crispy noodles are all my favorites. No piece of meat is innocent... 2022.8.1 Summary The first stage has basically come to an end. The first injection is finished. The total time is 7-8 weeks, from 67.2kg to 62.5kg, which is almost 10 pounds. But how to put it, if it were not for gastroenteritis, it may be difficult to achieve this result, but I don’t need to worry too much about the effect. It's still very obvious. I plan to register again this Wednesday to see if I can get another injection pen. I hope to lose weight to 58kg with the next injection pen. (The goal is a little high) In addition, I have a feeling that I must let I am healthy, but I am so sad that I am not in good health. Thoughts on use on June 18, 2022: Personal situation: I have been using it for 10 days (6.09-6.18), took two injections of 0.25mg, and lost 2.4kg (67.2-64.8). Lose weight The main reason is that I eat less and have no appetite. I don’t want to eat too greasy food at all. I can control myself to eat less in many cases. My favorite potato chips in the past are not very appetizing even if I think about it. To give a few examples: In the past I had one Deluxe and two eggs for breakfast. I was not full. Now I can only eat one egg, or even just drink milk. I used to eat a normal amount of food in the cafeteria, but now I feel full after eating half of it, and I eat slowly. , not so anxious. I used to be very greedy when I got home at night. I couldn’t stop myself from looking for food. Even if I wasn’t hungry, I couldn’t stop. Now I don’t have any appetite. Although I’m still a little greedy, I can control it without wanting to eat too much. Live. Basic information: 1993, female, 165cm, fat since childhood, probably 53-54kg in junior high school, and then reached 67kg in high school. I have been around 63kg in college, and gained 65kg after working. Later, I lost weight to 60kg through running, and I have maintained this weight. It is difficult to lose weight without any perseverance. In 2020, the winter was bad!!! I happened to come across a delicious fried skewers late night snack and various barbecue hot pots. I ate all kinds of things. I didn’t feel fat in the winter, I thought my weight was stable and I wouldn’t gain weight anymore... When I bought a weighing scale two months later, I found that I was 65kg, and then I couldn’t lose weight. I kept talking about losing weight every day. In fact, I love eating, but I don’t have good exercise habits. I stay up late, suffer from constipation, etc. It’s so sad that I can’t put on a lot of clothes...Beijing was sealed off for a month in May 2022, and I gained weight again to 67kg. …and I feel like I don’t eat much, and my weight keeps increasing, which may be caused by various factors such as work pressure and rest. I went straight to 140. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to see the weight loss and metabolic department, and started semaglutide for weight loss. The doctor said that one injection pen will take about two months, and I can lose weight to 120. I’m happy! I will continue to record, hoping to eventually lose weight to 53kg, and hope to have a beautiful back, buttocks, and abdomen hahahahaha! This has been my dream for many years, and I hope it can be fulfilled before I turn 30. The following is the daily weight record (only recorded for a short period of time, too lazy~) 6.8 67.2kg in the morning, went to see the doctor, got the first shot at night, 0.25mg, ate quite a lot that day 6.9 68.2kg reached a new high‍♀️ During the day, I obviously felt that my appetite was weakened and I couldn't eat too much. 6.10 67.2kg6.11 66.9kg6.14 66kg6.15 66kg.

I started feeling dizzy at about 4pm today. I suspected that I was hungry, although I didn’t feel hungry at all, so I ate a little more at night^^) 6.21 64.5kg6.22 64.6kg. The third injection of 0.5mg in the evening (well, it seems to have entered a plateau, and I have only lost 5 pounds... I have been staying up late these past few days, maybe it is because of sleep ~ It is time for the injection today, and I am going to take a dose of 0.5mg ) (My appetite was very good during the day today, and I felt so happy after eating. Maybe it was time for the injection today, and I suspect that my weight will increase significantly tomorrow... This made me sigh, will I not gain weight again after I stop taking the medicine? You still have to persist for a while to form a habit) 6.23 65.2kg (Well, it really lived up to expectations, as if it had experienced a rebound in advance~) 6.24 65.2kg (Well, I was too optimistic at the beginning, I won’t stop here... again Keep at it) 6.25 64.3kg (not bad, not bad, I’ve dropped 130 again, the overall feeling is almost 1kg/week. I don’t know if it’s a side effect of the medicine, but I feel like I’ve been having skin pain on my body this week, and I’m going to go check it out next week. Branch. In addition, I feel that my appetite has partially recovered, and it is not like the previous two weeks. It may be because I have adapted to the medicine~) 6.26 63.75kg (I slept hard at home on the weekend and ate less, and the effect was good) 6.27 64.35kg (Suddenly last night) I really wanted to eat hash browns, so I ordered a hash brown burger and red bean pie. Although I only finished the hash browns, it was still quite edible) 6.28 64.6kg (Be patient, long-term patience) 6.29 64.3kg The fourth injection of 0.5mg was given in the evening. (Slap in the face, 21 days, almost 5 pounds in the first 10 days, 1 pound in the next 10 days, but be patient, eh!) 6.30 64kg7.1 64.5kg (just a little bit desperate, I will update when I reach 63.5kg) 7.7 64.3kg I injected the fifth injection of 0.5mg yesterday (I feel like it’s a bit broken now, I just can’t go down 64... My mentality has also changed. I was a little overly optimistic before. I hope everyone can treat it rationally. This injection pen At most 6 weeks after starting, I should still have two more injections, I will take them until the end to see the effect) 7.12 63.9kg has not been updated recently because I have not lost weight recently! I feel like I’m close to failure (´･_･`) I hope I can lose weight to 62kg this time. Forget about 63kg, 7.15 62.4kg. I took the sixth injection of 0.5mg the night before yesterday. Why did my weight suddenly drop so much? , mainly due to gastroenteritis that started at 4 o'clock in the morning yesterday. I had vomiting and diarrhea. I went to the emergency department for various examinations, injections, infusions and medicine. My fever reached 38 degrees Celsius. I only recovered today... I guess there may be two reasons: 1. Maybe I ate the wrong food. But recently my mother was in Beijing for medical treatment. She ate almost the same as I did, but she was fine~ 2. I had my period the day before yesterday, and I had an injection the night before, which may have caused gastrointestinal irritation~ Although I had my period last time It’s also during the period of medication, but I didn’t get the injection on the day of my period. I feel it might be best to avoid getting the injection during my period! ! 7.20 62.3kg. I feel that I have almost maintained this weight without moving. I am very satisfied. I was worried that I would gain weight again. I have to take another injection tonight. This should be the last time. There should be 1mg left after the injection, but it has passed the shelf life and can only be wasted (use it within 6 weeks after opening). Overall, I have lost 10 pounds, which I feel is still obvious. I can almost wear many clothes. I’m happy! At first, I hoped to reach 60kg. In the last week, I plan to cooperate with exercise and see! 7.22 62.6kg I took the seventh injection of 0.5mg last night. This injection was a day late. As a result, I had a great appetite yesterday. I ate Roujiamo and hot and sour noodles at night... I ran 5km last night, but my weight still increased. There is really a long way to go. . I still have 1mg left in the injection pen. I don’t know if I can still take it after 6 weeks. I can’t bear to waste it ~ and I’m too lazy to go to the hospital to get the medicine. 8.1 62.5kg took the eighth injection of 0.5mg last Wednesday. Because I was too lazy to go to the hospital, I still used the original injection pen. It has been seven weeks since opening. The effect of the medicine has obviously weakened. I feel that my appetite has mostly recovered. Last week Five even had a craving for beef burgers and fries!
