I started Ozembic 2 weeks ago this Sunday(in one day). I am basically following the same diet I did after A Gastric Sleeve 11 years ago!! I want to lose 30-40lbs that I have gained back. I wanted a revision but my doctor wants me to try this first! I am currently in remission from Bladder Cancer. I have hypothyroidism. I take Bupropion. None of these issues were discussed. I am worried if I should be taking or not. I have not lost any weight, and I feel I am retaining fluids. Anybody else experiencing no weight loss. I have a backache and a headache! I already have IBS, so can’t tell any difference there. However, I have had stomach cramps and increased flatulence!!
Thoughts? Recommendations?
Why am I not losing weight with Ozembic?

It is surprising that you haven’t been losing weight if you have started Ozempic and are following a gastric sleeve diet. If you do feel as though you are retaining water, perhaps check your sodium intake? I gained SIX POUNDS after several meals that were high in sodium, and I experienced edema in the ankles. Thankfully, that weight fell off as soon as I lowered my intake.
