Rybelsus for Weight Loss

Today marks the first day of my journey with Rybelsus, I acquired from Online Pharmacy. Not referring, just information. My current weight stands at 14 stone 5 pounds, and my height is 5 feet 8 inches. I took my first tablet right when I woke up. I'm excited about this new chapter and would love for anyone interested to follow along. I plan to provide updates on my weight loss progress on a weekly basis, optimistically hoping for positive results. Joining this journey could be a great opportunity for us to share tips, experiences, and encouragement. I understand the importance of consistency and patience in this process, and I'm prepared for the ups and downs. It’s a step towards a healthier lifestyle, and I’m curious to see how Rybelsus will work for me. Let’s embark on this path together, sharing insights and supporting each other along the way.

I think I am with you on this. Still early days for me but I started on 7mg. I do feel fuller sooner, I still feel hungry but less tempted. Probably the cost of these things has strengthened my willpower. On the plus side, no side effects and I have been able to continue exercising although it takes slightly more effort. Might have lost a few pounds but my scales aren't great. Might try 14mg

bit fed up to be brutally honest, I've spent a fortune on a 'wonder-drug' and I've not had the 'magical not wanting to eat' I am possibly getting filled up quicker? maybe?
I'm going to get the 14mg next month but if after 2 weeks it doesnt happen, I'll have to give up

How do you feel about that? Good, bad, indifferent?

Hi everyone, I've been lurking from the beginning and just want to share my experience with people who will understand. Am on lots of the ozempic threads but there's lots of chatter about needles and clicks and that just doesn't apply so I'm glad to see this Rybelsus dedicated thread.
Started 05/03 at 105kg and 8 weeks later today am at 94kg. In old money that's a 24lb loss. I'm so happy.
Have done every diet goingover the years, SW, ww, Cambridge, lighter life, med diet, fiber diet Atkins and they worked for a bit then I piled it all back on and more.
The difference I have found with this is the obsession with food has gone. I'm able to meal plan and shop without the constant turmoil of " can I have that" " should I have that" etc. It's very freeing.
I have had some side effects, am now on 7mg for the second month in a row even though advice is to go up to 14mg, but it is working for me hunger and appetite wise and I don't want worse side effects than I'm currently getting.
I've got quite a bit of queasiness, and acid ( gaviscon is my new friend) and ' sulphur burps'. But it's worth it.
Someone on another thread has managed to get Rybelsus prescribed for weight loss on the NHS and I think at the end of this month's pack I might go and see my doctor and ask if I can too. I don't have any co morbidities but it can't hurt to ask?
I do find my side effects are less if I eat non fried, non sweet food and little and often.
Sorry for the wall of text, but like a lot of you, no one knows I'm taking this medication in real life.

Hi everyone 👋🏻
My Rybelus first month's supply was supposed to be delivered today... but it wasn't 🤷🏻♀️
Assuming it arrives tomorrow, I could start it on Friday morning. BUT I am going away for the weekend with my teenagers.
Are the side effects bad from the start? Should I wait to start after the bank holiday weekend? Any advice very welcome 😁

Check for interactions between meds. I am on levothyroxine which is contraindicated due to an interaction. I did a bit of research and the problem is the coating on rybelsus to help absorption increases asorbtion of other meds too. I take rybelsus when I wake during the night usually 2-3am then thyroxine normal time before food about 8 or 9am.
