Been on Wegovy myself and watched my dad quit after 2 weeks because the side effects just wrecked him. My mom’s been on it longer for type 2 diabetes and her experience has been completely different.

Seeing it from all three angles made me realize how little actual support exists for people in those early weeks like real guidance, not just “eat bland food and drink water.”

What would have genuinely helped you in your first 30 days that you couldn’t find anywhere? A tool, a resource, a type of support, anything. What’s missing?

My dad started Ozempic and couldn’t make it past 2 weeks. The nausea and fatigue just destroyed him and he gave up. I’m on it myself for weight loss and my mom takes it for diabetes so I’ve seen this medication from a lot of different angles.

I’m trying to understand if his experience is common. For those of you who almost quit early on, what was the worst part? And for those who did quit, what would have actually helped you push through? I want to help him reach his goal!
