#ozempic mention

[theotherhappyplace]

If I post anything under the body positive or plus size beauty tags on Instagram it changes all of my recommended adds to ads for Ozempic and weight loss apps.

That is pretty evil.

That is pretty rancid.

I hope all of the people using Ozempic and Mounjaro to lose weight without a perscription and the celebrities having fucking "Ozempic and Mounjaro Parties" are enjoying it because I (a person who actually needs it for diabetes management and has a perscription) am about to miss my 3rd week of shots because I've called 3 pharmiacies and not a single one has it.

diet culture really has gone off the rails post-mid pandemic like, it was already a trashfire but now they are using the pandemic to just bombard all social media with diet apps, crash diets, supplements and body dysmorphia. every decade there is a new crash diet and newer beauty standards that just aren't healthy or attainable jfc i just am 100% done with it all and if i see one more noom ad or keto recipe i am going to throw my phone at the wall

I read your commentary about Ozempic and (once I got past the “…oh” moment) it got me thinking. Are there any lay-person friendly analyses of the benefits of Ozempic for people with diabetes compared to the risks associated weight loss and starvation in general? How would I find these, or identify if they’re reputable information or not?

So for a layperson accessible scientific analysis of Ozempic, meet the podcast Maintenance Phase, with a specific episode about Ozempic!

I can't say there are layperson friendly analyses of your question in particular, that's kind of a research nitty-gritty question by definition, unfortunately. Also I don't think that data exists for Ozempic at all, it's too new of a drug. It's literally not possible for anyone to have information on its long term health effects. Though the researchers are pretty sure that the long term effects can't be worse than treatment resistant diabetes, which is why it got approved for diabetes treatment.

However the weight loss described in this study on the effects of dosages intended to treat diabetes is relatively moderate.

At week 104 ... the mean body weight in the semaglutide group, as compared with the placebo group, was 2.9 kg lower in the group receiving 0.5 mg and 4.3 kg lower in the group receiving 1.0 mg (P<0.001 for both comparisons)

That's 3%~4.5% of people's body weight. That's not terribly much weight loss. That's very much in the realm of ordinary weight fluctuations and sustainable permanent weight loss by normal means.

We see larger weight fluctuations all the time (albeit much more unpredictable and inconsistent ones) from other drugs, like anti-depressants and birth control. From my very-much-not-a-doctor perspective, this doesn't send up any screaming red flags for me. This is just using small doses of the long-lasting satiety hormone analogue for its effect on insulin, not because it's sending anyone's body into a mode of perpetual silent starvation.

For its use as a weight loss drug though ... I mean the mechanism isn't alteration of fat storage, or increased metabolism, or anything like that. It's literally just that you feel hunger less. And it creates degrees of weight loss which (while not nearly as world-shaking as often reported) create amounts of persistent weight loss (while on the drug) which are sometimes above any previous drug, diet, or exercise regimen tested scientifically. That is a screaming red flag for me. That just sounds like smothering your brain with a pillow while it begs you to not starve.

hi yes i hate the fad of people using ozempic for weight loss. i also hate that my dumb anorexia brain is like .....procure it off the black market.

This is a post discussing weight loss and the drug ozempic.

I was going to add to another post about this stuff but I realized it was getting off topic. But as a general PSA, ozempic slows digestion. Gastroparesis is the condition that makes slow digestion (multiple causes). If you have gastroparesis, and you are not actively losing weight, you will probably not start to lose weight by increasing the severity of your slow digestion. I imagine life would probably get worse actually. One would assume this to be common sense, but I am mentioning because my girlfriend, who is fat and has gastroparesis, was recommended ozempic by her primary care provider. Who is a doctor she's had for multiple years and helped her figure out it was gastroparesis in the first place.

So yeah don't take ozempic just in general, and don't blindly trust doctors to take your whole medical history into account. Even if it's their job, even if they've known you a while, even if they seem nice, even if they were in the room when you got diagnosed. etc.

can twt stop making me highly uncomfortable w ads abt weight loss stuff n tweets mentioning tht sort of stuff.

[nerdloser222]

Has anyone else noticed the absolute insane amount of pro ed and pro ozempic posting on any social media other than tumblr. I am talking to the level I can look at maybe 2 posts on Instagram before the algorithm is showing that. I’ve heard other people vaguely mention it, but I don’t know if it’s a problem with me and a few others or what.

Maybe being fat was never an issue and ozempic is a sin and maybe we should love ourselves idk I still want that shiit

Just a thought not a fact idk what I'm talking about I'm drunk
