I am one of the 'lucky' subgroup who cannot tolerate the side effects of semaglutides. I would take a shot on Sunday and basically not stop feeling like I was going to puke until Thursday. And that was at the lowest dose. I go to a concierge doc, so I get the care I need for as long as it takes. We really tackled this situation carefully, explored all the drugs, customized a diet, etc. Anyway, after the SG1 termination (it took 2 months to completely clear my system, BTW; random diarrhea would hit me with significant urgency), we went back to a low carb, high veggie diet. I started the SG1 at 267, went down into the mid-240s on it, went back to 262 off it, and now down to 252 after a few weeks weeks on low carbs. Once i can work out again (I broke my left foot and have been bootin' & scootin' for 7 weeks; out of the boot yesterday, but not cleared to fully work out yet), the weight loss should accelerate. I don't even care where it ends up, as long as the bloodwork improves.
