(FYI: Wegovy is FDA-approved for long-term weight management, while Ozempic is FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes but often prescribed off-label for medical weight loss.) <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">My practitioner discussed the possible risks and side effects such as nausea, constipation, abdominal pain, and even pancreatitis, but explained that starting at a low dose of semaglutide would be best to keep side effects at bay and see how my body reacted.  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">The weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/weight-loss\/a45227559\/ozempic-6-week-plan-weight-loss-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/weight-loss\/a45227559\/ozempic-6-week-plan-weight-loss-results\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"medication is administered through an injection\" class=\"body-link css-1wfje12 emevuu60\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>medication is administered through an injection<\/u><\/a>, but the first dose was easy and painless.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"i-experienced-some-side-effects-but-my-body-quickly-adjusted\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"body-h2 css-yii0xk emevuu60\"><strong>I experienced some side effects, but my body quickly adjusted.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">Side effects are common when taking semaglutide, and the first couple weeks I experienced headaches. Luckily, they were bearable and easily managed with Advil. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"15\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">I also immediately noticed that I had no desire for food. I wasn\u2019t hungry and nothing sounded good. The only food I occasionally craved was cottage cheese, but after a few bites, I was stuffed. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"16\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">Mentally, this was a little weird for me. I\u2019ve always loved food and pride myself in cooking three meals a day for my family. When I\u2019m not cooking, I\u2019m meal planning. Now, I could barely even think about food without feeling a little queasy. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"17\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">After about three weeks, my dosage increased to 0.5 mg, and I quickly experienced more side effects. I was frequently nauseous and had severe heartburn if I ate anything when I wasn\u2019t hungry. One afternoon, I split a chocolate chip cookie with my daughter and after a single bite, I had such bad heartburn I was in bed for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">As a result, I became extremely aware of what I was putting in my mouth. Instead of snacking and mindlessly eating when I wasn\u2019t hungry, food became fuel. I prioritized moderate portions of fresh, whole food (in addition to cottage cheese, I sometimes craved meat) and ate to nourish my body.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"19\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-6i9ia4 e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img alt=\"a person sitting at a table\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"980\" height=\"735\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-7188-652ec14f79b69.png?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-7188-652ec14f79b69.png?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-7188-652ec14f79b69.png?resize=980:* 1120w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-7188-652ec14f79b69.png?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e193vzwj0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-swqnqv e1fodxfw2\"><figcaption class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span class=\"css-1nnexjh e1geg53v2\">Pilar DeMann<\/span><\/figcaption><p>Pilar prepping dinner for her family<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"20\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">I also significantly cut down on alcohol.

My nurse practitioner continues to tell me that lifestyle changes are extremely important while on semaglutide, and weekly exercise is a must to maximize the medication&#8217;s effects. So, I signed up for personal training at my local gym since they offered 30 minute sessions. I told myself I can do anything for 30 minutes and committed to two training sessions a week. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"23\" class=\"css-1nd4gv7 emevuu60\">I never knew (or thought) I was strong, but after a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/fitness\/g19988365\/abs-exercises-with-weights\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/fitness\/g19988365\/abs-exercises-with-weights\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"workouts\" class=\"body-link css-1wfje12 emevuu60\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>workouts<\/u><\/a>, I feel stronger and more confident than ever.

I\u2019m a little nervous about weight regain, but I\u2019m certainly more mindful and appreciative of my lifestyle changes.
