Are there plateaus like with other weight loss?
I'm not eating any solid food due to a medical issue (long story) and I have lost 80 pounds as well. My weight can drop very quickly sometimes, as much as a pound every few days. Other times, like recently, it takes a long time to go down. It's taken me a good two months to go from 190 to 180, whereas I was 260 at the start of January 2023.
If not eating enough period causes plateaus, I would think Ozempic would as well.
I plateaued in the low 220s for a month or so then the weight fell off me to the low 200s. I'm creeping down now at about half a pound per week. My ultimate goal was to get to 200 lbs but I'm now thinking that I may go to 190 lbs since the weight is continuing to come off. I don't want to go lower than that. I don't want to be a thin person. I just want to be less fat.
My husband plateaued with it and had to go to a higher dose. No idea how common that is.
I'm definitely no expert on this, but it's my understanding that weight loss plateaus are pretty common. I'm not sure why though.
If you're on 1mg you will plateau, weight loss was a side effect of Ozempic, 2.5mg was the magic number for consistent weight loss. I heard they had people on 3mg during trials but the side effects outweighed the benefits.
