Just started Semaglutide 2 weeks ago for type 2 as well. Mine is pill form not injection though, so doesn't work as fast. Hoping it helps me lose weight like you, I'm in almost exactly the same place you were, 6'5" 300.
Hiya, update
since the results I've been eating less carbs where possible and limiting portion sizes
my main areas are no sugar apart from fruits, (so there is no honey anymore), and cutting out processed meats, more fish, and white meats.
I am going to the docs next Friday to get their advice on what foods to eat more of and which ones to avoid, how serious the results are etc
I want to turn up at least trying something myself so the doctor doesn't think I am just one of those patients who don't want to bother, I am taking this seriously either way if I lose some weight it can't hurt. if I can show that I have lost weight between the last appointment and now I can prove I am doing it. (well mostly to myself)
upping the walking/bike riding. got involved in a touch rugby event yesterday was a few hours of fun and games and mini matches, my legs are sore as fuck but I had fun and I managed to do the event, lol
To everyone here keep up the good work we got this.
Maybe your mum is eating that way because she is scared depressed and using food to cope ?Case in point. 6 months ago my mum was diagnosed borderline diabetic. Just over a week ago she progressed to full Diabetes Type II. The morning she got the diagnosis, she kinda got really worried. Even though the whole time I'd been telling her to chill on eating sweets, sugar, snacking. Anyway I used that window of her being scared to clean out her kitchen cupboards of all the snacks that were stuffed in them. There was loads of it, much of it even out of date by over a year.
Then I did research and found a good list of snacks she could eat. So far so good right?
Like an alcoholic with secret stashes those snacks came creeping back in. Also all the cope and excuses, "You said dark chocolate was Ok for me" I did, but not dark chocolate covered biscuits. "Everything has sugar in it", what's the point in even trying right? /S
She was taking an online course today, I could hear what it was saying "eat well, do exercise. don't be fat" basically. What did she lock onto as a cope? The one thing that let her off the hook for her own actions? As I heard in the video "diabetes can also be caused by stress". Immediately she said "that's me, I've got loads of stress!".
She went to the doctors today, she has infections that won't heal on both her legs. If you guys have done your homework like I did, that's a diabetes symptom. But to my mum it's completely unrelated. "I'm not fat, I just have water retention"
So I go to the pharmacy today to pick up a big bag of antibiotics and stuff that "really important and I need it right now". Strong stuff the pharmacist warned me about it's usage.
anyway she cooks the evening meal for her husband and myself. It's reasonably healthy peas, oven chips and chicken. However for herself she cooks something completely different. Peas, 3 slices of fried bacon, fried egg and to top it off a slice of fried bread. Yup...
Guys, don't be my mum this is only going to end in numerous bad endings, limb amputation, insulin injections, collapsing and being sick all the time and death.
I don't even feel bad for her at this point, it's all self inflicted.

what is the danish miracle? Ozempic?Good news, since starting of treatment with that Danish miracle, I am 18kgs lighter and no longer considered diabetic, my (pardon me for not knowing medical jargon in my second language) "long time glucose" is in normal range, even if I have a cake which I did on coworker celebration, my sugar didn't go higher than 6.5. So that's a win, I obviously have a plan and I will stick to it. I feel so much better. I wish you all well : )
Yes Ozempic and it took me 11 weeks, but I was definitely dieting. To be more specific, I had 1 chicken breast, grilled, with some spices, etc. Salad, basic salad with home grown vegetables (cucumbers, sweet pepers, cherry Tomatoes) with spoon worth of good quality olive oil and after strength training I always had a 0.3l worth of protein shake (just water, sometimes with banana). That was my diet. Also I walked a lot, just last month it was 280kms worth of steps. So I definitely went hardcore on this.what is the danish miracle? Ozempic?
18KGS? in how long a time?
Only ate once a day ? I hope when you come off you are ok.Yes Ozempic and it took me 11 weeks, but I was definitely dieting.

Ozempic helped me to be in peace with my stomach, no hunger etc. Also probably helped with Cholesterol + blood glucose.
Generally I had chicken for lunch and salad in the evening, so 2 mealsOnly ate once a day ? I hope when you come off you are ok.
Czech Republic, so I spent. 100EUR for initial dose, then I got registered as diabetic and subsequent injections were free of charge. Outside of diarrhea here and there, it was smooth sailing. You still have to lose it yourself tho, its just that you don't really need to eat, which is very liberating feelingCool. I’m eating three meals but cutting portions.
I did have ice cream because Father’s Day
But I am cutting crap out otherwise.
I want to make it a habit to eat smaller portions etc. So when I go back to normal. I don’t out weight back on.
Also to that I’m moving more so let’s see but Ozempic sounds like an amazing thing. What country are you in ?
[AAnderson sends his regards]
Anyway I have all confidence she'll go right back to her snacking and sweets and become diabetic again.
It will get better, its always the 0.25 > 0.5 > 1.0 changes which are - shitty -I got put on ozempic last week for my Beetus.
Jesus christ this shit fucking sucks. Not quite as bad as when I started Metformin, but I feel like shit.
By the way as someone who is now switching to 2mg, I spotted something, I feel normal but as soon as I take something with big glucose index, I instantly have problems with my stomach. Just eat meat and vegetables, that way it will be okay.I got put on ozempic last week for my Beetus.

You definitely find some low carb (or artificially sweetened) alternative to your favorite food. Or if its not sweet, just take it without the sides and you should be fine.Keep us posted, I slipped up recently with my diet (not blaming others, but when people refuse to change their eating habits and you are the cook it's hard not to partake in said delicious food). .
