Hi! I started Ozempic about a month ago and have been injecting into my abdomen. I don't feel any super big changes or reductions in food noise yet and I'm wondering if I should switch up the shot location? For context my main objective managing weight to help manage some health issues I have. I've heard the back of the arm was great for some people. Would love advice!

Oh yea - for me, anywhere other than the stomach I feel much sicker on shot day.

Hi! After a month, are you planning on going up on your dose? Some people only have the first month as their entry-level dose which may not be therapeutic for them. Which basically means the next dose should provide more help. Obviously talk to your doctor this is not medical advice, but give it time! Some people have to switch to Tirzepatide because the food noise is better

I have heard that different shot locations actually can impact results and how you feel. I haven't tried any other location than abdomen but I've also heard mixed experiences with the back of the arm and the thighs.
