2 1/2 months on GLP-1! My SEMAGLUTIDE 💉Journey #ozempic #glp1
Our summary
Olanda, a theme park and lifestyle creator, gives an update on her semaglutide use at about 10 weeks in. She says she is in the middle of week 10 and is still on the dose she started with, which she gives as 0.5 (she says 050 and 5 minutes of semaglutide in the captions). She states that she is not a healthcare provider and is only sharing firsthand experience.

Where semaglutide costs least today
The three cheapest partner programs for semaglutide, all in per month, checked weekly. Brand Ozempic and compounded versions are different products; each row says which it is.
What else the video covers
She says she still has an appetite and some food noise, which she describes as the urge to snack or give in to cravings. It is not gone, but it is quieter, which gives her time to make better choices. She thinks she may need a higher dose after this month and plans to ask her doctor. Her side effects vary from week to week. She mentions headaches that she links to low water intake, constipation in some weeks and frequent trips to the bathroom in others, and a few weeks of sulfur burps. She says she kept Pepto on hand but did not take it, and instead avoided heavy and late meals. She also says she felt hungrier the day before an injection and handled it with smaller portions. For injections she has used thighs, stomach and arms, and says arms have worked best for her lately.
On exercise and results, she says her first doctor told her to diet and exercise when she reported fatigue and achiness. Since losing some weight she has added walks with friends or her dogs, and says the joint stiffness has eased and her energy is up, which she credits to the weight loss rather than the medication directly. She reports losing 13 lbs in 10 weeks, notes she has PCOS and finds weight loss hard, and says her clothes fit better and her mood has improved.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Stopping a GLP-1: what the withdrawal trials found, and what a maintenance dose actually is
Two trials have measured what happens when you stop. On semaglutide, people who lost 17.3% over 68 weeks regained two-thirds of it in the year after stopping, ending 5.6% below where they started. On tirzepatide, people who lost 20.9% in 36 weeks regained 14% over the next year on placebo while those who continued lost a further 5.5%. Both labels are explicit that these drugs are for maintaining weight reduction long term, which is a different claim from finishing a course. A maintenance dose is simply the dose you stay on; the labels do not define a lower one to step down to at goal.
- GLP-1s for PCOS: what the guideline allows, what the trials show, and what it costs
No GLP-1 is FDA approved for PCOS. The 2023 International PCOS Guideline says liraglutide and semaglutide could be considered for higher weight in adults with PCOS, alongside lifestyle changes. The trials agree on weight: a 2026 review of 11 randomized trials showed a modest BMI drop. Effects on periods, hair growth and hormones are less certain, and the guideline keeps fertility use to research settings. Stop semaglutide 2 months before trying to conceive.
- Semaglutide side effects, and what compounding does and does not change
Semaglutide's side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation, worst early and after each dose increase. Those belong to the molecule, so they are the same whether it came in a Novo Nordisk pen or a compounding pharmacy's vial. What compounding changes is everything around the molecule. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved, so the finished product has not been reviewed for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality, and the FDA has said the enforcement discretion that allowed 503A pharmacies to compound semaglutide has ended. It also usually arrives as a vial and a syringe rather than a pre-set pen, which moves dose measurement to you.
