Sharon investigates The dangers of weight loss drug she has been using, reports suggest OZEMPIC can stop heart attacks . for more go to ---------- • Visible Difference Hat...
@@user-cc6ir1mu6gShe had face work prior to taking Ozempic. The weight loss in her face accentuates the implants in her cheeks an pd other areas. Even without plastic surgery, when a person loses weight they’re going to lose it in their face and everywhere else in their body.
To be honest this makes me think how ridiculous society is. Drug dealers are jailed for selling harmful substances, yet pharmaceutical companies and chemists are allowed to freely sell substances that if used wrongly can harm you without any consequences.
Like the jab, now no one can sue because y’all signed waivers… it didn’t stop transmission and they ignored natural immunity, and now I know 30 yr olds on heart meds . It wasn’t a jab that fits all and they didn’t care. Big pharma is all about profit and keeping you coming back for more
I blame society for putting overweight/obesity high on a pedestal for its market value and having folks discreetly suffer behind a mask as they live through the reality of it. They condemn others for not being attracted to their unhealthy state but run to use drugs like this. We need a medically approved fitness culture, like when had that ever been a thing here in America?
What do they care? They prescribe anything that keeps the money coming in. They also pushed a dangerous vaccine on millions of people that don't need it. Health is not their goal.
Sharon looks really ill, her family must be worried?! I intermittently fasted, walked 10,000 steps a day, no snacking. Lost 35lbs naturally in 6 mths. Feel great, but I didn’t risk my health like this! OMG.
I've been doing the same. Blood sugars a little high, so also have been doing low carb. Have lost 25 lbs. since October and feel so much better. It would be just my luck that I would be one of those with the horrible Ozempic side effects. I'm sure it's beneficial for the right patient, but I always prefer to stay off of medications if there is ANYTHING I can do naturally to avoid them! I'm an RN and know all too well the endings people with chronic conditions can suffer. Intermittent fasting has been the one thing I think I can really do for life, as long as I don't try to get too extreme with it. Good job and I hope you enjoy many years of good health!
@@Sparkles12340 I lost 20 lbs the same way. Another 20 to go. The best way for long term weight loss is move more, eat less. Nothing has changed. Drugs come and go and most gain the weight back.
Decades ago, my husband's doctor prescribed Phen-fen. I took one and, Wow! That day I was super woman. I cleaned and defrosted two chest freezers, moved them and swept and mopped the floor beneath them, then went through the house doing the same things until late evening. I Loved it! Then all the bad press about it being dangerous caused it to be pulled. When things sound too good to be true, it almost always is
Poor Sharon looks terrible...OMG !! I am an RN and was on Ozempic for 2 months and lost 17 lbs. but was nauseous, very tired, and acid reflux returned. As I read about more and more side effects, I stopped it. It's NOT safe and as an RN registered nurse and would NOT recommend it to anyone for weight loss.
I read that it causes fat loss, yes, but also significant muscle loss in older patients which can be permanent. It just is not a lifetime solution for weight control
Everyone is praising her in the comments. She used this drug instead of … or accepting that your body might be able to maintain a 145 pounds instead of 127 pounds. How is she maintaining such a low weight? I can get “skinny” but I have to do it by very low calories and lots of cardio, but I cannot maintain it without obsessive behavior and quite the financial commitment. Maybe she genuinely fears using this drug after her experience, but this story added nothing to the conversation. Everything in it is already known, already discussed. I know she is known for being badass but this was good PR. Maybe she feared the negative criticism because people where looking at how skinny she was and gossiping about it. When are we going to get real? Why didn’t she “get real.”
I know someone who has been taking Ozempic for two years. She has lost over 70 pounds but it doesn’t look healthy. She looks exhausted all the time and very weathered. Like she lost her natural glow and the life in her eyes. I’m really worried for her.
I'm glad I lost the weight the natural way by working out, staying active, and actually watching my food intake and looking at fats and calories. I have learned a ton since I started loosing weight.
My neighbor passed away this week after an accidental overdose of ozempic. Her blood sugar dropped drastically, her kidneys began failing and she was extremely nauseous and vomiting. She was admitted to the hospital and died the following day from a heart attack. Her body was under so much stress from the side effects.
Because of doctors prescribing Ozympic for weight loss, people like my husband, a type 2 diabetic could no longer get it and was changed to a different drug. It did not work as well and was very new on the market. Less than a year later he had a massive heart attack and passed away. He should never have had to change drugs due to dieters. Selfishness hurt those who needed Ozympic.
I'm so sorry for your loss. But from the sound of it, Ozempic is not the answer, either; sounds like it made people incredibly sick and had terrible side effects (no, I've never used it, and I'm not defending those who used it for weight loss). Prayers for you and your family, and again, my condolences!
Are you aware that type 2 diabetes is reversible by simply going on a low carb diet and losing weight? There is really no need tor any medication at all.
I honestly really appreciate her realness here even though she admitted she is part of the reason diabetic patients couldn’t get their medication, I really tip my hat to her for being so honest
Took my first shot of Ozempic (0.25) on Friday. By Saturday had excruciating stomach pain, dizzy, vomiting. Planned on going to ER on Sunday because I had never felt so sore since both of my csections. Slightly better today but still can’t stand up straight, dizzy and am only consuming cold pressed juice and small pieces of banana. Will not be taking my second shot. I’ll never take it again.
Wow! I hope you feel better now. It's obvious that patients are not being given all the information they should be armed with before they take this drug.
I for one appreciate her honesty in telling her story. A lot of people in Hollywood and reality television won’t speak the truth that they too are using this drug for weight loss
I think it’s cool that despite her success with using it responsibly, she saw the potential for abuse by young people to use as a weight loss drug and decide to talk about it.
My partner is type 1 , has been since birth so absolutely can not live without insulin , since all this has been going on there has been a few times we have gone to get his prescription only to be told sorry there’s non available, it has more then once got to a point where he has had no insulin left at all and all the pharmacy have said is sorry there’s nothing we can do ! It has been a frightening experience.
@@ukmedicfrcstype 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are completely different. Type 1 a person has from birth and they do not produce insulin at all, so the only medication that they can take is insulin. Other than insulin the other diabetic medications do not work for type 1 diabetes, I don’t know why type 1 was even mentioned in the comment above because Ozempic is not insulin. Y’all need to get your facts straight. Also I can tell you that there have been many medications for all different types of diseases that people actually need have been on the shortage list, I know this from personal experiences. I am also a Type 2 diabetic and have been working very hard trying to reverse it. I have been on oral medication for quite awhile (years) and changed my eating habits and still couldn’t lose the weight or get my A1C down to a non- diabetic level, so my physician (who also monitors me and my blood levels every 3 months put me on Ozempic and it has been life changing for me as first and most importantly my A1C is down to pre- diabetic levels and I am finally losing the weight that I need to lose to not be considered obese, as my goal is to lose the weight and to live a healthier lifestyle so I can get off of most if not all of my medications. Especially since I also have a heart murmur that has become more pronounced over the past couple of years. So my point is no Ozempic is not a cure all, as you have to change your diet and lifestyle, it is also not something that everyone should be taking just because they want to lose weight as there should be at least other health factors, and those who are not being monitored closely by a physician definitely should not be given or taking any kind of prescription medication.
@@ukmedicfrcsOf course there is but Ozempic is one of the most commonly used and it must be incredibly frustrating for those with diabetes, that so many people who don’t need it are using it. It makes it harder for those who need it, to get it.
Type II diabetic here. Ozempic did help me lose 70 pounds but not without terrible side effects. I’m still dealing with the after effects 2 years later. I have no appetite and have completely lost any enjoyment of food.
The only thing food wise that I am "having" a problem with is that I am losing my taste for sweets. I don't eat sweets a lot, but when i do, they are not tasting right. I had a box of store brand thin mints. It did not taste like them. I got the girl scout's thin month. Tasted the same. Bland. Animal crackers tasted beyond bland. Graham Crackers tasted ok. I think this is a good thing. Sometimes regular food taste bland too.
I was (am) a LT member of Weight Watchers. I haven't attended meetings since Covid and while I know at this point I could certainly return to those meetings I have lost respect for that organization since they now promote Ozempic. The reason I first joined was because of their concept of (1) teaching people to make better food choices (2) understanding that people need to be more active. Although I realize WW would (hopefully) only suggest this drug for the small majority of it's members, just the fact that they are rubs me wrong. I remember where there was a time when it took changing your lifestyle for the better to make the changes you'd like. Apparently now they and too many doctors are in partnership with drug manufactures. In my perfect world there would be no drug commercials on TV or radio. Go back to the days when your doctor would discuss with you lifestyle options and then, if needed, medications could be discussed.
I can’t believe WW is going this way with medication, isn’t it all about learning to eat healthy and live an active lifestyle, shame on them…. Anything for the big $$$$$$$
It caused me gastroparesis . I was taking it as a pre-diabets med, which is not an off-label use, mind you. Long-story short: I couldn’t stand the nausea and debilitated me to the bone. So my doc switched back to metformin, which is free of charge for diabetes patients down here in Brazil. I get stomach sick just to remember that black period in my life . Not blaming anyone. Just sharing my experience.
I'm grateful to my doctor for being honest with me. She told me that two of her patients have permanent gastroparesis because of off-label Ozempic use for weight loss.
I recently lost 15 lbs from cutting back on sweets and carbs and doing a lot of walking and swimming. You don’t need drugs to lose the weight. Once you stop all that weight plus more will come back on
@@annefitz7346a lot of women over the age of 50 have found the carnivore diet to be extremely beneficial for weight loss, overall health and vitality.
@@MimilovesDaphne Cut back on sweets and carbs and walk a lot, do water arobics, most importantly, stop snacking. The weight will come off. Stop looking for an easy way out.
My doctor put me on ozempic for my diabetes, 3/4 months later I was put in hospital, I lost a lot of weight and my ability to walk as I lost strength because of malnutrition. Please be careful with ozempic my friends.
I qualify for ozempic. I have fatty liver, don’t drink or use drugs, it’s the non alcoholic fatty liver. I’m stage 1, so there is time for me to save my liver. I’m giving it an honest go before using ozempic. So far, I’ve lost 25 pounds by intermittent fasting and making better food choices. I’m waiting to loose more weight to exercise. I have a physical disability that makes it difficult to walk and impossible to run, but I’m going to buy a stationary bike and elliptical machine in hopes I can do it. I also do not want to take away from severe diabetics who need the drug. So far, I’m doing well. I just hope I keep it up. Good luck to all of you trying to get healthy. You can do it!!!
You will lose more fat by building muscles through exercises on the floor or with weights (once you can do those with just your body weight comfortably). Don't go for cardio for weight loss. That's only good to exercise your heart. For weight loss, strength training.
Don’t focus on cardio. Not being able to run shouldn’t be an issue. Focus on weight-training and muscle building. I’d highly recommend looking into calisthenics. You don’t need external weights or do go to a gym. It’s all based on using your own body weight, to build muscle. And I am not talking about becoming big and bulky. Though, cardio will deplete muscle - and muscle is the absolute key to longevity and health; and the more muscle one has, the better their metabolic system is. Especially, when it comes to fatty liver. Also, don’t focus on “weight-loss.” Focus on “fat-loss.” Because weight-loss can indicate a loss in fat - or muscle. And the absolute last thing anyone wants (unless they are a body builder and in their cutting season ) - is to lose muscle. The more muscle One gains - the more calories their body will burn, in the process of doing so. Also, be careful with cardio and intermittent fasting., in combination. Both of such, cause a release in cortisol - which, also, drops progesterone. It’s not that all stress is bad, for the body. Though, you don’t wanna over do it, ‘cause this will deplete more muscle. And as I stated - muscle health is the key to longevity and proper metabolic function.
Why is it okay for her to take it but then she is worried that it will get in the wrong hands? Privilege- she is responsible but others are not. Please…
All one has to do is the work. I took ozempic for 3mos. Quit and did the work, diet and exercise. Dropped 30+ in less than a year. Im a senior and didnt think at my age it could be done. Its a lifestyle change.
The nausea is nothing. I have diabetes, but my CNP wanted me on it for weight loss. I didn't feel right taking it and stopped. Went in for my check up and she insisted that I HAD to take it. I started taking it and even tho I was still taking my depression medication, my depression was getting worse. I became very irritable with my family and was becoming suicidal. I am not the only one that Ozempic has had this effect on. Plenty of CZcamsrs. And I lost more weight by doing intermittent fasting than I did on Ozempic. To top it off, it was a drug i should never have been prescribed. I talke Levothyroxin because I had my thyroid removed to due to Thyroid cancer. And the warning label says do not take with Levothyroxin. I discovered that when I started checking out what I went thru.
OMG! You should NEVER have been put on it. No one with any type of thyroid issues should and in my opinion and what I have read about it and thyroid issues.
It’s vastly important to do our own research, be practical about it. And, try to find a competent doctor for whatever you medical needs are. I know certain countries have different ways of getting care, and the US is dictated by insurance companies, and $$$. It’s too easy to take a pill and lose weight. Unfortunately, not living a healthier lifestyle isn’t going to be in your favor later on. Side effects with too many medications is often worse than having the problems.
People who don’t want to do the work of exercising every day and monitoring the types of foods they are ingesting and don’t want to make true lifestyle changes, just want an easy fix.
These programmes are so biased why don't they show the people who have succeeded with ozempic for weightloss and haven't gained since stopping it. They won't because they don't want people to get healthy as they lose out on money
My cousin just had her stomach removed because of this drug combined with a pre-existing lap-band removal. Her stomach became paralyzed. She now has a very small “stomach” left and is on a 3-month liquid diet until she heals well enough for it to work properly. If it doesn’t, she will be on a feeding tube indefinitely. She is diabetic and was taking it for that.
My friend died two months after starting O. She couldn’t make herself eat. She became depressed, became anemic. I believe ultimately this med can be so dangerous.
Poor thing!! She looked so much better before ozempic! I wonder if she sees what we do when she looks in the mirror or does the “skinniness” blind her?? This breaks my heart, so many have “disappeared” due to hollywierd’s view of what women should look like!! So so sad!!!😢
Sharon has changed her looks so drastically the only way you know its her is her hair color and voice. Shame people think they need to go under the knife. I was on ozempic because I am a diabetic, while it did help my A1C I had to stop it because of bloodwork results for my liver.
I take ozempic at a very low dose 1.5 mg for type 2 diabetes and have taken it for a year. In that year I've lost 30 lb very reasonable . I have a friend who wanted it for weight loss and went to basically a spa and got the prescription from a nurse practitioner. And her prescription was for 12 mg. That's crazy . That's probably why these people are having horrible side effects because their doses are ridiculously high because they want to shed the weight quickly. What they don't realize is as soon as they stop taking it they will regain at minimum 2/3 of what they lost
I hope Sharon will be alright. She holds a private, special place in my heart. Battling cancer several years ago, the only time I really laughed my arse off was watching her and Louie on BGT.
That cancer survivor status is something I never forget! Colon cancer, if I remember correctly. I truly felt for their family. The reality show came out around that time, if I remember correctly. I am a cancer survivor, myself! 2009, I had stage 3c DIC of the breast. 11/21 positive nodes, which I never heard of...I'm just glad the nodes took up the cancer, not another, more vital organ. Can't believe 15 years have gone by since my dx...I was so worried, I have so much gratitude for life today, I feel guilty even being depressed, because it's ungrateful of me, and a waste of energy I could be using in a positive way
She used to be so beautiful and young looking, she suddenly turned into gorgeous grandma but she doesn't look healthy. I don't think it's worth even looking into! God bless Sharon Osborne, she is such a wonderful woman who truly cares for others.
So providers can prescribe this to anyone as they do with all drugs. Off label prescriptions are common, but they were not allowed to prescribe the safest drugs on the market that were around for several decades and are sold as over counter drugs in most country during Covid!!! What's wrong with this picture?
So because she took it too far, she’s going to tell others that it’s dangerous when people really need it. Sharon has always used extreme measures to lose weight. At least she has been told how her personal wealth and vanity have made it so others who need the medication can’t get it bc of people like her.
Dont blame people. Blame poor FDA oversite. Pharmaceutical industry and doctors. The same way they target pain pills They need to monitor this medication.
Our FDA is a joke. As someone who has worked in healthcare each individual needs to be their own advocate. So many medications now, doctors can’t keep up. People need to do their own research.
I spent 3 weeks doing some volunteer work in a place that was covered in cat diarrhea. Spent a lot of time cleaning it up. 14 hour days. I could not eat there. Can't eat breakfast. So one meal a day while exhausted. After it was over took a look at myself in a mirror. I had dropped 15 pounds and the image was scarry. My skin was just hanging everywhere. I looked a good 20 years older. For the one and only time in my life I actually worked at gaining weight. If you are a woman over 50 you should not be below 22 percent body fat. Normally I hover between 22 and 24. And it was in the fall, so 22 percent. Right at the edge. So that extre 15 pounds off explains why.
It's unbelievable what people will put in their bodies without doing research. I lost my best friend in the world to Phen Phen back in the mid 90s. I was so angry and there was nobody to take my anger out on. Think people, think!
Ya my wife is a type 2 diabetic and was put on Ozempic, it worked very well, however she now has had to go on a different drug because half the time we could not get Ozempic due to the high number of people on it who are not diabetic.
I agree, she looks terrible now! I thought she looked much better before and I was surprised to here her say she lost 3 stone (42 lbs), I wouldn't have thought that she had that much to lose. I would say that she's the poster girl for "Ozempic Face".
Huge respect to Sharon for being honest about this drug. It made me terribly, terribly sick. I lost weight because I was so ill I couldn’t eat and had a hard time just getting out of bed some days. The GI side effects were horrible.
My friend used Ozempic for weight loss. 3 weeks after starting it she was in surgery having her appendix removed. I’m glad my insurance said, No because it’s dangerous.
My diabetes was out of control. Been on Ozempic since August 2023. A1c from 8.9 to 5.6 blood sugar levels back to normal. I lost 52 lbs. it helps but you also need to help it. Eat no sugar and very low carbs. Once you stop Ozempic keep eating the right way and exercise. I never had a problem with it.
Look up "gastroparesis", and understand that a large part of how this drug works is by mimicking that condition. it also triggers your pancreas to release more insulin, which helps clear glucose out of the blood stream, which is why it's used for diabetes. However that process has problems too. It can lead to acute pancreatitis, and worsens the problem of insulin resistance.
She looks amazing and I appreciate that she, monitored by her doctor, decided to stop taking it because she has reached her ideal weight. No she doesn't look sick, she looks in perfect physical condition and without excess fat, those who say otherwise most likely don't realize they are overweight or obese, especially if American. Sharon is always very honest, and it is a rare thing among celebrities, she admitted that this drug taken by people who want to lose weight quickly limits its use for those who suffer from diabetes. and it is important to give this type of information.
As a person with type 2 diabetes I can no longer get the injection because it’s just being sold for weight loss . So I have to take much more dangerous medication which causes you to put on weight which is something we don’t need .
I'm eligible for this and I'm diabetic. Every Tom Dick and Hary is using it for weight loss and its out of stock. So people who really need it can't get it.
It was prescribed for my Type 2 diabetes, it was a nightmare experience. Even at the dosage of 0.50 mg, once weekly, I still had all the below mentioned side effects: constant nausea, constipation, total lethargy (no energy), day and night severe acid reflux, waking from sleep at 2:00am to convulsively vomit for 1\2 hour, even vomiting during the daytime, then the accompanying low blood pressure from vomiting. My suffering was phenomenal and after 22 injections (5 1/2 months), I wanted my quality of life back. My MD agreed that it was not worth “being miserable”. Within 3 days of stopping Ozempic, my immuno-system was so depressed, I was diagnosed with Shingles although I was fully vaccinated with the Shringrix vaccine. Beware of this medicines’ consequences.
My cousins wife was put on this drug for her type 2 Diabetes. She maybe could have dropped a stone, but she’s lost 3 stone and still losing. She looks dreadful and I fear for her.
I’m in no way promoting poor eating and obesity , but I’m fearful that unhealthy things are coming back. It would be nice if true heath and natural size was embraced. I say this as a 65 year old woman that has semi starved herself her whole adult life and have had a very difficult time accepting the ten pounds I’ve gained in the last five years. Women think they are so liberated but yet there is still a desperate desire for us to stay young and very thin. It really is the curse upon Eve still manifesting today.
@@lisalehr4635 yay, that is excellent. I bet you have more energy and mobility. When I mention natural size I was referring to not starving ourselves to obtain things our frames can not be. Healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle will not result in morbid obesity.
I saw Sharon recently on Celebrity big brother, I was shocked by how her face had changed, she has aged 20 years, she always looked great and this change happened quite quickly. I worried that she was ill again although throughout her cancer she never looked Ill, as she does now. I hope she can reverse it by putting the weight back on.
I am a diabetic my doctor want to prescribe me ozempic she sent it to the pharmacy I went to pick it up but they were all out of it and told me to come back in a couple days to pick it up. So I did some research on Olympic watch women tell me how they took it and made them deathly ill throw up and be nauseous all the time and I said hell no toes Olympic. I have lost 44 lb I'm down to 124 and I did it by watching what I ate I'm watching my blood glucose numbers and I am so happy that I did not take Olympic.
If someone has physical issues and literally can't exercise then it's almost impossible to lose any decent amount of weight. You'll hit a plateau you can't get past unless you add exercising, which you can't do. I know several people like this. One has a blown out knee and badly damaged hip from an accident and the other has a severe lower back injury. Neither will be getting better and can barely manage to walk at all. Both have gained a lot of weight since their injuries so this drug would be their only way of getting that weight off, which will help them manage with their injuries. So for some people who need to lose weight this drug would be a godsend.
I was taking Trulicity with good success, but my local pharmacies told me they don’t know when they will get more. It could be as late as December 2024. When I asked why, they told me that the overprescribing of Ozempic for weight loss caused a shortage of THAT medication, which drove doctors to prescribe Trulicity for weight loss, which caused its shortage in the dosage most prescribed to diabetics. Now I have to take Victoza.
I have been taking Ozempic for 4 years for Type II Diabetes and I have only lost 10 pounds. I can’t tell you how many times I have not been able to refill my prescription because of the amount of people who use it for weight loss.
If you watch Dr Jason Fung’s video’s he tells you how to reverse type 2 diabetes. He’s a very clever man he’s written a book, The Diabetes Code, it’s an excellent book I have it as a talking books, If I had diabetes, I’d follow Dr Fungs advice. 😉
2015: I FIRED a general practitioner physician who diagnosed me as diabetic. I did the research, returned to a more specific diet, addressed stress with meditation and more walking. Threw the Metformin in the trash after a week of use generated horrible leg cramps. 2023: I've gracefully lost 50 pounds, just had a check up and I am in better than average shape for my age group. Go holistic! Consult a naturopath FIRST.
Ozempic for diabetic, Wegovy for non-diabetic (different name-same med, prescribed for the weight loss, due to Ozempic's high demand was causing shortages for diabetics who need), injection process prep is different. This is what I was told by a person that's used both and lost tremendous weight, also ended up having to have her gallbladder removed.
If they are the same drug why not just manufacture more ozempic and be done with it. Having a second drug exactly the same but advocated just for weight loss is a scam as it costs four times more, just because it's for weight loss. And if diabetics can't get hold of ozempic due to shortages, why can't they just get wegovy instead. This all seems to be more about money than health.
I just heard a young girls testimony of taking this pill for weight loss and now she can’t even process food anymore 😢 so sad to hear her story and we will hear more of this . People need to remember the pharmaceutical companies are not for you…. they care about their pocketbook not about your health. Please just try and eat clean and exercise and love yourself people ♥️ Only take meds if you will die without it 👍
Im diabetic i was on ozempic my bloods were coming down, i was loosing weight, i came off some diabetic medication. Now ive had to stop as nhs cant get hold of it & now im back at square 1 😢
I think Sharon has found her niche. She did an amazing job with the overall report on Ozempic and with the interviews.. Sharon is such a natural. She has come a long way from wife of Ozzie Osborne, to TV reality star, to a talk show cohost, and now a special correspondent.
@@fatonyalmitchell3281yes her NICHE ,her being a Legendary Manager in the world of Men..she was the only woman in the 70s..... Why laugh?I wonder what you think she meant?
I'm the living example of side affects. 2 emergency surgeries & another major surgery this year. All to lose 15 lbs. I've found no recourse or attorney willing to sue the compound pharmacy that provided the generic prescription to my doctor. Scarred for life & it has probably lowered my life expectancy. I'm lucky as there have been deaths reported.
Maybe a month. I never even got up to full dosage. I went back to the doctor. Told him of the severe side affects along with an emergency room visit. He suggested I "give it another go" as the nursing staff had good luck with it. This was a year ago. It landed me in the hospital for over a month with 2 emergency surgeries & sepsis. I almost DIED. I have a 3rd major surgery on my gut scheduled for next week. I'll be hospitalized for approximately 1 week more. I saved the unused meds, paperwork & astronomical hospital bills. Some of the stories I've been told about side affects are horrendous. Including a single mom of 4 committing suicide after taking it because it messes with dopamine.
She lost way too much weight. She lost 42 lbs. I don’t remember seeing or I am seeing it now, or thinking she needed to lose that much weight. I actually didn’t recognize her.
They say cameras add 10 lbs. so she must really look bad. I’m pre diabetic and was thinking of taking O but the more I hear of the side effects and what happens when you stop it’s not worth it so thank you for all the comments cutting back on carbs and sugars should be more healthy.
Shortage going on now in SW Virginia. It's not only because people who are NOT DIABETIC are getting it, but if the manufacturer doesn't like the price negotiated by the insurance companies, they will hold off on making it.
2 weeks into my ozempic treatment, I have not changed what I eat, other than ensuring each of my meals is high in protein and slightly lower in fat, as well as eating a breakfast everyday. I used to skip breakfast. I still like reach for chips when Im stressed and hungry but I find that I can now have half a single serve bag and put away in the fridge and not think about it for a few days. I used to eat a whole 170g sharing bag with dinner each night! I have noticed my clothes are ever so slightly less tight, but the number on the scale hasnt moved, neither is my waist measurement. I used to eat sandwiches for dinner, but now I can have a standard bun, a slice of cheese, 2 extra lean beef patties and an apple and move on to something else to do. Not a small meal by any measures, but a tremendous cut back compared to my usual. No side effects, but I have broken down in tears twice in the last week. I'm not sure if it is the drug or my situation.
I'm 62 and vegan for 7 years. So much easier to go vegan and maintain one's weight and become healthier than it is to rely on drugs and/or extreme diets.
About 12 years ago I asked the doctor if could prescribe some medication to lose weight, although I was not that excited to try, but I asked her just to test the water. And she was no inclined to prescribed. She said, it can harmful to the heart. So I did not insist. Her answer was not knew to me that I heard in many places and many years before. Now with this ozempic, I wonder what she would say.
I’ve seen this used on friends with type 2 diabetes with excellent results for them but then there were friends that saw the advantage of losing 20 lbs have had horrible affects. Not only causing serious medical problems but physically their bodies and faces look distorted and morbid. As long as big pharma and the medical community can make a profit people will continue to be Guinea pigs because all they see is a thinner person without understanding the consequences of this drug. It’s so unfortunate that those adults and children who need this medication are the ones left to the side cause their is more money to be made on vanity then a cure.
I think Mrs Osbourne looks ill. IMO you don't take meds or have Operations unless they are to save your life. Vanity is really not worth it.
Yes how can people think they look good?
Looks older too in the face
I think she had plastic surgery on her face...lip implants. She looks weird.
She looks like a walking corpse!
She had plastic surgery and ruined her face (and now she’s too thin as well). Why do people do this? :(
I think Sharon is a good example of what has been termed Ozempic face.
What is that
@@eleanordemedici3070 the face looks sooked in especially under the cheekbones. Not a good look
Looks like she's been starved.
I’m thinking face work gone bad. She does t even look like herself
@@user-cc6ir1mu6gShe had face work prior to taking Ozempic. The weight loss in her face accentuates the implants in her cheeks an pd other areas. Even without plastic surgery, when a person loses weight they’re going to lose it in their face and everywhere else in their body.
OMG! She lost way too much weight. I really hope she gains back the muscle she lost. Bless her
She had gastric bypass surgery prior to taking Ozempic, though
No she will not be able to regain that muscle loss… done.
This is so sad.
It’s so easy to lose muscle at that age. 😀

To be honest this makes me think how ridiculous society is.
Drug dealers are jailed for selling harmful substances, yet pharmaceutical companies and chemists are allowed to freely sell substances that if used wrongly can harm you without any consequences.
Absolutely, one rule for one and not the other. All about massive profits.
Like the jab, now no one can sue because y’all signed waivers… it didn’t stop transmission and they ignored natural immunity, and now I know 30 yr olds on heart meds . It wasn’t a jab that fits all and they didn’t care. Big pharma is all about profit and keeping you coming back for more
Jailed for cannabis, crazy
I blame the doctors for prescribing it to patients who don’t have diabetes, especially for those who aren’t even obese.
I blame society for putting overweight/obesity high on a pedestal for its market value and having folks discreetly suffer behind a mask as they live through the reality of it. They condemn others for not being attracted to their unhealthy state but run to use drugs like this. We need a medically approved fitness culture, like when had that ever been a thing here in America?
Let people make their own choices. Its called personal freedoms and personal choices. Stop being a behavior controller.
What do they care? They prescribe anything that keeps the money coming in. They also pushed a dangerous vaccine on millions of people that don't need it. Health is not their goal.
@@nikkibest5010💯
But why, people have the choice to say yes or no...
Sharon looks really ill, her family must be worried?! I intermittently fasted, walked 10,000 steps a day, no snacking. Lost 35lbs naturally in 6 mths. Feel great, but I didn’t risk my health like this! OMG.
I've been doing the same. Blood sugars a little high, so also have been doing low carb. Have lost 25 lbs. since October and feel so much better. It would be just my luck that I would be one of those with the horrible Ozempic side effects. I'm sure it's beneficial for the right patient, but I always prefer to stay off of medications if there is ANYTHING I can do naturally to avoid them! I'm an RN and know all too well the endings people with chronic conditions can suffer. Intermittent fasting has been the one thing I think I can really do for life, as long as I don't try to get too extreme with it. Good job and I hope you enjoy many years of good health!
@@susanb4213 Thank you for your extremely interesting comment, all the best to you with your ongoing good healthy journey! 🥒🥦🌽🍓🍉
Didn’t she have weight loss surgery in the past?
@@linhaton4957 this is the weird thing - I think she has had a procedure, I’m quite worried about her 🥺
@@Sparkles12340 I lost 20 lbs the same way. Another 20 to go. The best way for long term weight loss is move more, eat less. Nothing has changed. Drugs come and go and most gain the weight back.
It's funny how it's a perfect weight loss drug for her and her celebrity friends, but for everyone else is too dangerous... crazy
Right, she got her fill now she doesn't want anyone else too lmao
IKR
Celebrities will do anything to be skinny and camera worthy, look at all the plastic surgery they do, it's becoming mental issues.
It's perfect if you're willing to risk your health permanently.
Decades ago, my husband's doctor prescribed Phen-fen. I took one and, Wow! That day I was super woman. I cleaned and defrosted two chest freezers, moved them and swept and mopped the floor beneath them, then went through the house doing the same things until late evening.
I Loved it! Then all the bad press about it being dangerous caused it to be pulled.
When things sound too good to be true, it almost always is
For every magic pill there is a price to pay
😂😂
I could do with some of that 😂
You was wizzin 😂
@@cathyoddie5885 at 63, I just started a physically demanding job. I could use a pound!
Poor Sharon looks terrible...OMG !! I am an RN and was on Ozempic for 2 months and lost 17 lbs. but was nauseous, very tired, and acid reflux returned. As I read about more and more side effects, I stopped it.
It's NOT safe and as an RN registered nurse and would NOT recommend it to anyone for weight loss.
She’s almost 72yrs old. No spring chicken.
Bad face lift...
I read that it causes fat loss, yes, but also significant muscle loss in older patients which can be permanent. It just is not a lifetime solution for weight control
She looks underweight…
Poor Sharon must be mentally ill to have paid to have her looks destroyed!
Mrs. Osbourne her self is a great example, what happens, when this drug is in wrong hands.
she is! And she knows it, and wants to help us all avoid her mistake. I appreciate her for it.
One of the best comments on here.
Everyone is praising her in the comments. She used this drug instead of … or accepting that your body might be able to maintain a 145 pounds instead of 127 pounds. How is she maintaining such a low weight? I can get “skinny” but I have to do it by very low calories and lots of cardio, but I cannot maintain it without obsessive behavior and quite the financial commitment. Maybe she genuinely fears using this drug after her experience, but this story added nothing to the conversation. Everything in it is already known, already discussed.
I know she is known for being badass but this was good PR. Maybe she feared the negative criticism because people where looking at how skinny she was and gossiping about it. When are we going to get real? Why didn’t she “get real.”
and everyone believed Ozzy was the addict !
I know someone who has been taking Ozempic for two years. She has lost over 70 pounds but it doesn’t look healthy. She looks exhausted all the time and very weathered. Like she lost her natural glow and the life in her eyes. I’m really worried for her.
I'm glad I lost the weight the natural way by working out, staying active, and actually watching my food intake and looking at fats and calories.
I have learned a ton since I started loosing weight.
My neighbor passed away this week after an accidental overdose of ozempic. Her blood sugar dropped drastically, her kidneys began failing and she was extremely nauseous and vomiting. She was admitted to the hospital and died the following day from a heart attack. Her body was under so much stress from the side effects.
Omg. Bless her soul!😥
Yikes. One wonders if it’s even safe for diabetics.
How did she manage to OD on it ? It’s a measured dose in the pen
I'm so sorry for your loss
And dehydration that led to heart failure. Sad.
Because of doctors prescribing Ozympic for weight loss, people like my husband, a type 2 diabetic could no longer get it and was changed to a different drug. It did not work as well and was very new on the market. Less than a year later he had a massive heart attack and passed away. He should never have had to change drugs due to dieters. Selfishness hurt those who needed Ozympic.
❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. But from the sound of it, Ozempic is not the answer, either; sounds like it made people incredibly sick and had terrible side effects (no, I've never used it, and I'm not defending those who used it for weight loss). Prayers for you and your family, and again, my condolences!
Was he overweight? Ppl are saying ozempic did this and that , but don't look at being obese.
So sorry to hear. That's an awful circumstance. People are so vapid these days.
Are you aware that type 2 diabetes is reversible by simply going on a low carb diet and losing weight? There is really no need tor any medication at all.
I honestly really appreciate her realness here even though she admitted she is part of the reason diabetic patients couldn’t get their medication, I really tip my hat to her for being so honest
Took my first shot of Ozempic (0.25) on Friday. By Saturday had excruciating stomach pain, dizzy, vomiting. Planned on going to ER on Sunday because I had never felt so sore since both of my csections. Slightly better today but still can’t stand up straight, dizzy and am only consuming cold pressed juice and small pieces of banana. Will not be taking my second shot. I’ll never take it again.
Wow! I hope you feel better now. It's obvious that patients are not being given all the information they should be armed with before they take this drug.
I for one appreciate her honesty in telling her story. A lot of people in Hollywood and reality television won’t speak the truth that they too are using this drug for weight loss
She is a he-that ain’t the face of a woman!!
Oprah.
Totally agree. Sharon has always been pretty honest about all of her surgeries and all she does. Since way way back when they had the show.
I think it’s cool that despite her success with using it responsibly, she saw the potential for abuse by young people to use as a weight loss drug and decide to talk about it.
Why anyone would look to Hollyweird for advice is utterly beyond me🤷♂️
AS someone who needs it for diabetes, it angers me terribly to not be able to get my meds!
My partner is type 1 , has been since birth so absolutely can not live without insulin , since all this has been going on there has been a few times we have gone to get his prescription only to be told sorry there’s non available, it has more then once got to a point where he has had no insulin left at all and all the pharmacy have said is sorry there’s nothing we can do ! It has been a frightening experience.
There are other diabetes drugs you can take.
@@ukmedicfrcstype 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are completely different. Type 1 a person has from birth and they do not produce insulin at all, so the only medication that they can take is insulin. Other than insulin the other diabetic medications do not work for type 1 diabetes, I don’t know why type 1 was even mentioned in the comment above because Ozempic is not insulin. Y’all need to get your facts straight. Also I can tell you that there have been many medications for all different types of diseases that people actually need have been on the shortage list, I know this from personal experiences. I am also a Type 2 diabetic and have been working very hard trying to reverse it. I have been on oral medication for quite awhile (years) and changed my eating habits and still couldn’t lose the weight or get my A1C down to a non- diabetic level, so my physician (who also monitors me and my blood levels every 3 months put me on Ozempic and it has been life changing for me as first and most importantly my A1C is down to pre- diabetic levels and I am finally losing the weight that I need to lose to not be considered obese, as my goal is to lose the weight and to live a healthier lifestyle so I can get off of most if not all of my medications. Especially since I also have a heart murmur that has become more pronounced over the past couple of years. So my point is no Ozempic is not a cure all, as you have to change your diet and lifestyle, it is also not something that everyone should be taking just because they want to lose weight as there should be at least other health factors, and those who are not being monitored closely by a physician definitely should not be given or taking any kind of prescription medication.
@@ukmedicfrcsOf course there is but Ozempic is one of the most commonly used and it must be incredibly frustrating for those with diabetes, that so many people who don’t need it are using it. It makes it harder for those who need it, to get it.
There are other weight loss drugs you can take @@ukmedicfrcs
Type II diabetic here. Ozempic did help me lose 70 pounds but not without terrible side effects. I’m still dealing with the after effects 2 years later. I have no appetite and have completely lost any enjoyment of food.
Wow! Hopefully you will feel better w time. That’s so scary!
The only thing food wise that I am "having" a problem with is that I am losing my taste for sweets. I don't eat sweets a lot, but when i do, they are not tasting right. I had a box of store brand thin mints. It did not taste like them. I got the girl scout's thin month. Tasted the same. Bland. Animal crackers tasted beyond bland. Graham Crackers tasted ok. I think this is a good thing.
Sometimes regular food taste bland too.

I was (am) a LT member of Weight Watchers. I haven't attended meetings since Covid and while I know at this point I could certainly return to those meetings I have lost respect for that organization since they now promote Ozempic. The reason I first joined was because of their concept of (1) teaching people to make better food choices (2) understanding that people need to be more active. Although I realize WW would (hopefully) only suggest this drug for the small majority of it's members, just the fact that they are rubs me wrong. I remember where there was a time when it took changing your lifestyle for the better to make the changes you'd like. Apparently now they and too many doctors are in partnership with drug manufactures. In my perfect world there would be no drug commercials on TV or radio. Go back to the days when your doctor would discuss with you lifestyle options and then, if needed, medications could be discussed.
All about money, not actual health.
Corporate greed is ruining America.
I can’t believe WW is going this way with medication, isn’t it all about learning to eat healthy and live an active lifestyle, shame on them…. Anything for the big $$$$$$$
She looks sick. She was such a beautiful lady. So sorry for her.
She looks terrible and sickly... Nothing but skin on bones. 😝 This is Not a healthy look for anyone.
It aged her horribly- looks like she’s on chemo
She did it to herself, taking this drug away from those who really need it. I hope she is suffering with those side effects. Money talks for sure.
What a vicious thing to say.
@@stacey8420well, this comment is a bit of a stunner, but in todays me me me society…typical.
Sharon Osborne! OMG ... I thought it was a meme. She does not even look human!
Lol
I did, too. Did she have another surgery. She was already a beautiful woman🤦🏽♀️
She really looks anorexic. Not healthy.
Yes, she was very beautiful but now, OMG she looks dreadful. I thought she was sick. Got such a shock 🙈
We shouldn’t talk like that about anyone. No one buy sickness on themselves
It caused me gastroparesis . I was taking it as a pre-diabets med, which is not an off-label use, mind you. Long-story short: I couldn’t stand the nausea and debilitated me to the bone. So my doc switched back to metformin, which is free of charge for diabetes patients down here in Brazil. I get stomach sick just to remember that black period in my life .
Not blaming anyone. Just sharing my experience.
They call it Ozempic face. I love Sharon Osbourne and am glad she's speaking up.
The fat in her face was keeping her youthful but the drastic loss does not suit her. Hope she can recover.
Don't even recognize sharon!! This is so disturbing . She looks really sick and ill and recognizeagle!!! 😢
I saw her a while back and I was shocked. 😢
I'm grateful to my doctor for being honest with me. She told me that two of her patients have permanent gastroparesis because of off-label Ozempic use for weight loss.
She looks like she went a little too far and too fast with the weight loss as she lost a lot of fat from her face which is aging.
She may have the buccal fat removed….another procedure that makes one look haggard.
She clearly had work done, lips plumped and fat taken out
Ozempic doesn’t lift your eyebrows, eyes and plump your lips.
I recently lost 15 lbs from cutting back on sweets and carbs and doing a lot of walking and swimming. You don’t need drugs to lose the weight. Once you stop all that weight plus more will come back on
Not everyone has success with basic wgt loss measures. How old are you. Folks over 50 and above may have difficulty with weight loss the “ usual ways”
@@annefitz7346a lot of women over the age of 50 have found the carnivore diet to be extremely beneficial for weight loss, overall health and vitality.
@@annefitz7346I am over 50, yours is a weak answer. Stop with the excuses.
YOU don’t need it. Don’t speak for others.
@@MimilovesDaphne Cut back on sweets and carbs and walk a lot, do water arobics, most importantly, stop snacking. The weight will come off. Stop looking for an easy way out.
My doctor put me on ozempic for my diabetes, 3/4 months later I was put in hospital, I lost a lot of weight and my ability to walk as I lost strength because of malnutrition. Please be careful with ozempic my friends.
Thank you so much for the information and heads up. I’ve been wanting to try this but now I think not. 😮
I qualify for ozempic. I have fatty liver, don’t drink or use drugs, it’s the non alcoholic fatty liver. I’m stage 1, so there is time for me to save my liver. I’m giving it an honest go before using ozempic. So far, I’ve lost 25 pounds by intermittent fasting and making better food choices. I’m waiting to loose more weight to exercise. I have a physical disability that makes it difficult to walk and impossible to run, but I’m going to buy a stationary bike and elliptical machine in hopes I can do it. I also do not want to take away from severe diabetics who need the drug. So far, I’m doing well. I just hope I keep it up. Good luck to all of you trying to get healthy. You can do it!!!
Yes, you can do it! ❤
I have several friends who used ozempic and look like her - skeletal and creepy - and they think they look fabulous.
Don’t worry about running. New science is saying a good walk is much better for people than running. Too many injuries from running anyway
You will lose more fat by building muscles through exercises on the floor or with weights (once you can do those with just your body weight comfortably). Don't go for cardio for weight loss. That's only good to exercise your heart. For weight loss, strength training.
Don’t focus on cardio.
Not being able to run shouldn’t be an issue.
Focus on weight-training and muscle building.
I’d highly recommend looking into calisthenics.
You don’t need external weights or do go to a gym.
It’s all based on using your own body weight, to build muscle.
And I am not talking about becoming big and bulky.
Though, cardio will deplete muscle - and muscle is the absolute key to longevity and health; and the more muscle one has, the better their metabolic system is.
Especially, when it comes to fatty liver.
Also, don’t focus on “weight-loss.”
Focus on “fat-loss.”
Because weight-loss can indicate a loss in fat - or muscle.
And the absolute last thing anyone wants (unless they are a body builder and in their cutting season ) - is to lose muscle.
The more muscle One gains - the more calories their body will burn, in the process of doing so.
Also, be careful with cardio and intermittent fasting., in combination.
Both of such, cause a release in cortisol - which, also, drops progesterone.
It’s not that all stress is bad, for the body.
Though, you don’t wanna over do it, ‘cause this will deplete more muscle.
And as I stated - muscle health is the key to longevity and proper metabolic function.
Why is it okay for her to take it but then she is worried that it will get in the wrong hands? Privilege- she is responsible but others are not. Please…
The interview was sliced. Sharon was pre diabetic
well said
She paid the price.Now she looks like a' Spitting Image' puppet of her former self.
Ironic..I took it but you shouldn’t….
I thought the same.
Praise God we have these celebrities to "test drive" for us!! *Rolls eyes* Sickening!!!
Thank you Sharon. Much Love♥️
All one has to do is the work. I took ozempic for 3mos. Quit and did the work, diet and exercise. Dropped 30+ in less than a year. Im a senior and didnt think at my age it could be done. Its a lifestyle change.
I am a qualified lesbian too
The nausea is nothing. I have diabetes, but my CNP wanted me on it for weight loss. I didn't feel right taking it and stopped. Went in for my check up and she insisted that I HAD to take it. I started taking it and even tho I was still taking my depression medication, my depression was getting worse. I became very irritable with my family and was becoming suicidal. I am not the only one that Ozempic has had this effect on. Plenty of CZcamsrs. And I lost more weight by doing intermittent fasting than I did on Ozempic. To top it off, it was a drug i should never have been prescribed. I talke Levothyroxin because I had my thyroid removed to due to Thyroid cancer. And the warning label says do not take with Levothyroxin. I discovered that when I started checking out what I went thru.
Look into the carnivore/ keto diet too. Good luck!
I'm diabetic and was to be put on Ozempic but the NHS can't get it so I'm taking another insulin
OMG! You should NEVER have been put on it. No one with any type of thyroid issues should and in my opinion and what I have read about it and thyroid issues.
Why I have a difficult time trusting medical professionals anymore. Well, since the pressure to get jabbed.
It’s vastly important to do our own research, be practical about it. And, try to find a competent doctor for whatever you medical needs are. I know certain countries have different ways of getting care, and the US is dictated by insurance companies, and $$$.
It’s too easy to take a pill and lose weight. Unfortunately, not living a healthier lifestyle isn’t going to be in your favor later on. Side effects with too many medications is often worse than having the problems.
People who don’t want to do the work of exercising every day and monitoring the types of foods they are ingesting and don’t want to make true lifestyle changes, just want an easy fix.
Sharon is so cool and so appreciated her honesty🙏🏽
Sharon looks ghastly.
Be nice, damn
She's 71 years old!! Give her a break
Because she used ozempic when she shouldn't have and now cant gain anyway back
These programmes are so biased why don't they show the people who have succeeded with ozempic for weightloss and haven't gained since stopping it. They won't because they don't want people to get healthy as they lose out on money
What about bone loss and osteoporosis 😮
OMG, I almost did recognize Sharon. I hope that she doesn’t suffer any type of Medical/Health backlash for taking that drug.
one too many facelifts too
I thought it was nancy pelosi's twin sister . . . .
My cousin just had her stomach removed because of this drug combined with a pre-existing lap-band removal. Her stomach became paralyzed. She now has a very small “stomach” left and is on a 3-month liquid diet until she heals well enough for it to work properly. If it doesn’t, she will be on a feeding tube indefinitely. She is diabetic and was taking it for that.
Terrifying. My heart breaks for her.
My friend died two months after starting O. She couldn’t make herself eat. She became depressed, became anemic. I believe ultimately this med can be so dangerous.
Poor thing!! She looked so much better before ozempic! I wonder if she sees what we do when she looks in the mirror or does the “skinniness” blind her?? This breaks my heart, so many have “disappeared” due to hollywierd’s view of what women should look like!! So so sad!!!😢
blame her last facelift too
and it's Not just Hollywood, although they do have influence.
I think she likes being miles too thin and she thinks she looks good , lets face it , its not exactly hard to put weight back on is it
Sharon has changed her looks so drastically the only way you know its her is her hair color and voice. Shame people think they need to go under the knife. I was on ozempic because I am a diabetic, while it did help my A1C I had to stop it because of bloodwork results for my liver.
Keeping it real, I respect this Sharon and Kelly!!!
I take ozempic at a very low dose 1.5 mg for type 2 diabetes and have taken it for a year. In that year I've lost 30 lb very reasonable . I have a friend who wanted it for weight loss and went to basically a spa and got the prescription from a nurse practitioner. And her prescription was for 12 mg. That's crazy . That's probably why these people are having horrible side effects because their doses are ridiculously high because they want to shed the weight quickly. What they don't realize is as soon as they stop taking it they will regain at minimum 2/3 of what they lost
Sharon says she can't put the weight back on. She stopped taking it several months ago.
After seeing Sharon Osborne, I now see what everyone one’s talking about the ‘Ozempis EYES! OMG
Yikes Diabetic Retinopathy! Take drugs to get thin and lose your eyesight?!! People are not thinking clearly.
I hope Sharon will be alright. She holds a private, special place in my heart. Battling cancer several years ago, the only time I really laughed my arse off was watching her and Louie on BGT.
That cancer survivor status is something I never forget! Colon cancer, if I remember correctly. I truly felt for their family. The reality show came out around that time, if I remember correctly.
I am a cancer survivor, myself! 2009, I had stage 3c DIC of the breast. 11/21 positive nodes, which I never heard of...I'm just glad the nodes took up the cancer, not another, more vital organ. Can't believe 15 years have gone by since my dx...I was so worried, I have so much gratitude for life today, I feel guilty even being depressed, because it's ungrateful of me, and a waste of energy I could be using in a positive way
Omg I know their laughs were contagious. Especially Dawn the jockey 😂😂😂😂❤
She used to be so beautiful and young looking, she suddenly turned into gorgeous grandma but she doesn't look healthy. I don't think it's worth even looking into! God bless Sharon Osborne, she is such a wonderful woman who truly cares for others.
So providers can prescribe this to anyone as they do with all drugs. Off label prescriptions are common, but they were not allowed to prescribe the safest drugs on the market that were around for several decades and are sold as over counter drugs in most country during Covid!!!
What's wrong with this picture?
So because she took it too far, she’s going to tell others that it’s dangerous when people really need it. Sharon has always used extreme measures to lose weight. At least she has been told how her personal wealth and vanity have made it so others who need the medication can’t get it bc of people like her.
Dont blame people. Blame poor FDA oversite. Pharmaceutical industry and doctors. The same way they target pain pills They need to monitor this medication.
I agree. Except for some requests for this medication should
Never been prescribed the medication. The guidelines definitely
Need to be tightened up .
Our FDA is a joke. As someone who has worked in healthcare each individual needs to be their own advocate. So many medications now, doctors can’t keep up. People need to do their own research.
Thank you Sharon for telling us the truths of Ozembic.
ACV is very helpful for weight loss and very beneficial for overall health.
As we age it's most important to have flesh on our faces otherwise we'll end up looking like Sharon.
I spent 3 weeks doing some volunteer work in a place that was covered in cat diarrhea. Spent a lot of time cleaning it up. 14 hour days. I could not eat there. Can't eat breakfast. So one meal a day while exhausted.
After it was over took a look at myself in a mirror. I had dropped 15 pounds and the image was scarry.
My skin was just hanging everywhere. I looked a good 20 years older.
For the one and only time in my life I actually worked at gaining weight.
If you are a woman over 50 you should not be below 22 percent body fat. Normally I hover between 22 and 24. And it was in the fall, so 22 percent. Right at the edge.
So that extre 15 pounds off explains why.
She can't lose any more weight but she's a pretty lady.
Yes but if your jowls look like balloons and you have the means, a buccal fat reduction would definitely improve.
Fat. You mean fat in the face.
It's unbelievable what people will put in their bodies without doing research. I lost my best friend in the world to Phen Phen back in the mid 90s. I was so angry and there was nobody to take my anger out on. Think people, think!
Same with those vaccines that rolled out after zero research. People are so willingly to let others jab God only knows what into their bodies. Ugh !
Ya my wife is a type 2 diabetic and was put on Ozempic, it worked very well, however she now has had to go on a different drug because half the time we could not get Ozempic due to the high number of people on it who are not diabetic.
Sharon is only 71 and looks 90.
I agree, she looks terrible now! I thought she looked much better before and I was surprised to here her say she lost 3 stone (42 lbs), I wouldn't have thought that she had that much to lose. I would say that she's the poster girl for "Ozempic Face".
I think she looks great, more like 35.
Huge respect to Sharon for being honest about this drug. It made me terribly, terribly sick. I lost weight because I was so ill I couldn’t eat and had a hard time just getting out of bed some days. The GI side effects were horrible.
Good to know. I have Crohn’s disease so I need no help in that area. 🤪
Ozempic is absolutely awful, very dangerous. Shouldn't be used at all.
My friend used Ozempic for weight loss. 3 weeks after starting it she was in surgery having her appendix removed. I’m glad my insurance said, No because it’s dangerous.
My diabetes was out of control. Been on Ozempic since August 2023. A1c from 8.9 to 5.6 blood sugar levels back to normal. I lost 52 lbs. it helps but you also need to help it. Eat no sugar and very low carbs. Once you stop Ozempic keep eating the right way and exercise. I never had a problem with it.
Look up "gastroparesis", and understand that a large part of how this drug works is by mimicking that condition. it also triggers your pancreas to release more insulin, which helps clear glucose out of the blood stream, which is why it's used for diabetes. However that process has problems too. It can lead to acute pancreatitis, and worsens the problem of insulin resistance.
She looks amazing and I appreciate that she, monitored by her doctor, decided to stop taking it because she has reached her ideal weight. No she doesn't look sick, she looks in perfect physical condition and without excess fat, those who say otherwise most likely don't realize they are overweight or obese, especially if American. Sharon is always very honest, and it is a rare thing among celebrities, she admitted that this drug taken by people who want to lose weight quickly limits its use for those who suffer from diabetes. and it is important to give this type of information.
As a person with type 2 diabetes I can no longer get the injection because it’s just being sold for weight loss . So I have to take much more dangerous medication which causes you to put on weight which is something we don’t need .
I'm eligible for this and I'm diabetic. Every Tom Dick and Hary is using it for weight loss and its out of stock. So people who really need it can't get it.
Mrs. Osborne looks like Freddie Mercury during his last days. 🙁
Looks like Freddie after he died
Stay classy
It was prescribed for my Type 2 diabetes, it was a nightmare experience. Even at the dosage of 0.50 mg, once weekly, I still had all the below mentioned side effects: constant nausea, constipation, total lethargy (no energy), day and night severe acid reflux, waking from sleep at 2:00am to convulsively vomit for 1\2 hour, even vomiting during the daytime, then the accompanying low blood pressure from vomiting. My suffering was phenomenal and after 22 injections (5 1/2 months), I wanted my quality of life back. My MD agreed that it was not worth “being miserable”. Within 3 days of stopping Ozempic, my immuno-system was so depressed, I was diagnosed with Shingles although I was fully vaccinated with the Shringrix vaccine. Beware of this medicines’ consequences.
I appreciate her honesty. Most celebrities say “oh I lost weight naturally, or I worked out” which we know is a lie.
My cousins wife was put on this drug for her type 2 Diabetes. She maybe could have dropped a stone, but she’s lost 3 stone and still losing. She looks dreadful and I fear for her.
I’m in no way promoting poor eating and obesity , but I’m fearful that unhealthy things are coming back. It would be nice if true heath and natural size was embraced. I say this as a 65 year old woman that has semi starved herself her whole adult life and have had a very difficult time accepting the ten pounds I’ve gained in the last five years. Women think they are so liberated but yet there is still a desperate desire for us to stay young and very thin. It really is the curse upon Eve still manifesting today.
I took control of my health and lost 60 lbs at 63 years of age. It is possible. If you are breathing, you can still lose weight and get healthy.
@@lisalehr4635 yay, that is excellent. I bet you have more energy and mobility. When I mention natural size I was referring to not starving ourselves to obtain things our frames can not be. Healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle will not result in morbid obesity.
But when you are young and thin it looks fine, old and thin makes you look haggard. Just my opinion.
I saw Sharon recently on Celebrity big brother, I was shocked by how her face had changed, she has aged 20 years, she always looked great and this change happened quite quickly. I worried that she was ill again although throughout her cancer she never looked Ill, as she does now. I hope she can reverse it by putting the weight back on.
she looks emaciated and even unrecognizable. Why would someone do this to themselves? Ugh, such a shame.
I am a diabetic my doctor want to prescribe me ozempic she sent it to the pharmacy I went to pick it up but they were all out of it and told me to come back in a couple days to pick it up. So I did some research on Olympic watch women tell me how they took it and made them deathly ill throw up and be nauseous all the time and I said hell no toes Olympic. I have lost 44 lb I'm down to 124 and I did it by watching what I ate I'm watching my blood glucose numbers and I am so happy that I did not take Olympic.
Good for you
If someone has physical issues and literally can't exercise then it's almost impossible to lose any decent amount of weight. You'll hit a plateau you can't get past unless you add exercising, which you can't do. I know several people like this. One has a blown out knee and badly damaged hip from an accident and the other has a severe lower back injury. Neither will be getting better and can barely manage to walk at all. Both have gained a lot of weight since their injuries so this drug would be their only way of getting that weight off, which will help them manage with their injuries. So for some people who need to lose weight this drug would be a godsend.
I just started ozempic and can't believe I lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks! However my bmi is 35 and im diabetic!
I was taking Trulicity with good success, but my local pharmacies told me they don’t know when they will get more. It could be as late as December 2024. When I asked why, they told me that the overprescribing of Ozempic for weight loss caused a shortage of THAT medication, which drove doctors to prescribe Trulicity for weight loss, which caused its shortage in the dosage most prescribed to diabetics. Now I have to take Victoza.
This is rather scary. She doesn’t even look healthy. And if this medications are for diabetics then it should be used strictly for that.
I have been taking Ozempic for 4 years for Type II Diabetes and I have only lost 10 pounds. I can’t tell you how many times I have not been able to refill my prescription because of the amount of people who use it for weight loss.
If you watch Dr Jason Fung’s video’s he tells you how to reverse type 2 diabetes. He’s a very clever man he’s written a book, The Diabetes Code, it’s an excellent book I have it as a talking books, If I had diabetes, I’d follow Dr Fungs advice. 😉
2015: I FIRED a general practitioner physician who diagnosed me as diabetic. I did the research, returned to a more specific diet, addressed stress with meditation and more walking. Threw the Metformin in the trash after a week of use generated horrible leg cramps. 2023: I've gracefully lost 50 pounds, just had a check up and I am in better than average shape for my age group. Go holistic! Consult a naturopath FIRST.
Thanks Sharon. Hopefully a lotta people are made aware of this poison.
Ozempic for diabetic, Wegovy for non-diabetic (different name-same med, prescribed for the weight loss, due to Ozempic's high demand was causing shortages for diabetics who need), injection process prep is different. This is what I was told by a person that's used both and lost tremendous weight, also ended up having to have her gallbladder removed.
That can happen when people lose a lot of weight naturally too. Happens a lot of time after have gastric sleeves
One of my friends got very ill and had to have her gallbladder removed as well.
@@jennifermorrison229 but can also happen when a person is obese and loses large amount of weight naturally or if you have gastric sleeve surgery
If they are the same drug why not just manufacture more ozempic and be done with it. Having a second drug exactly the same but advocated just for weight loss is a scam as it costs four times more, just because it's for weight loss. And if diabetics can't get hold of ozempic due to shortages, why can't they just get wegovy instead. This all seems to be more about money than health.
I just heard a young girls testimony of taking this pill for weight loss and now she can’t even process food anymore 😢
so sad to hear her story and we will hear more of this .
People need to remember the pharmaceutical companies are not for you…. they care about their pocketbook not about your health.
Please just try and eat clean and exercise and love yourself people ♥️
Only take meds if you will die without it 👍
💯 agree!
well said
Except it’s not a pill. It’s only available as an injectable. Great sentiment though.
Im diabetic i was on ozempic my bloods were coming down, i was loosing weight, i came off some diabetic medication. Now ive had to stop as nhs cant get hold of it & now im back at square 1 😢
I changed my eating habits with no exercise and lost 65 lbs.
I think Sharon has found her niche. She did an amazing job with the overall report on Ozempic and with the interviews.. Sharon is such a natural. She has come a long way from wife of Ozzie Osborne, to TV reality star, to a talk show cohost, and now a special correspondent.
She been found her niche 😂😂
Sharon had it going on before she met Ozzie.
If you think she looks good OMG
@@fatonyalmitchell3281yes her NICHE ,her being a Legendary Manager in the world of Men..she was the only woman in the 70s.....
Why laugh?I wonder what you think she meant?
@@mariajason3547 i think 🤔 they meant she finally found herself even if in a world 🌎 of men 👞..... Eitherway I always liked her
I'm the living example of side affects. 2 emergency surgeries & another major surgery this year. All to lose 15 lbs. I've found no recourse or attorney willing to sue the compound pharmacy that provided the generic prescription to my doctor. Scarred for life & it has probably lowered my life expectancy. I'm lucky as there have been deaths reported.
Wow ,how bad is that. I’m sorry I hope you’re feeling somewhat better, thanks for the warning.
My internist told me he's been seeing a lot of cases. I've been trying to warn people...
How long did you take this for?
Maybe a month. I never even got up to full dosage. I went back to the doctor. Told him of the severe side affects along with an emergency room visit. He suggested I "give it another go" as the nursing staff had good luck with it. This was a year ago. It landed me in the hospital for over a month with 2 emergency surgeries & sepsis. I almost DIED. I have a 3rd major surgery on my gut scheduled for next week. I'll be hospitalized for approximately 1 week more.
I saved the unused meds, paperwork & astronomical hospital bills.
Some of the stories I've been told about side affects are horrendous. Including a single mom of 4 committing suicide after taking it because it messes with dopamine.
Have to wait 20 years for the Class Action Lawsuit to start
So is Metformin the same thing for weight loss?
Wow I'm shocked 😢
She lost way too much weight. She lost 42 lbs. I don’t remember seeing or I am seeing it now, or thinking she needed to lose that much weight. I actually didn’t recognize her.
They say cameras add 10 lbs. so she must really look bad. I’m pre diabetic and was thinking of taking O but the more I hear of the side effects and what happens when you stop it’s not worth it so thank you for all the comments cutting back on carbs and sugars should be more healthy.
Shortage going on now in SW Virginia. It's not only because people who are NOT DIABETIC are getting it, but if the manufacturer doesn't like the price negotiated by the insurance companies, they will hold off on making it.
2 weeks into my ozempic treatment, I have not changed what I eat, other than ensuring each of my meals is high in protein and slightly lower in fat, as well as eating a breakfast everyday. I used to skip breakfast. I still like reach for chips when Im stressed and hungry but I find that I can now have half a single serve bag and put away in the fridge and not think about it for a few days. I used to eat a whole 170g sharing bag with dinner each night!
I have noticed my clothes are ever so slightly less tight, but the number on the scale hasnt moved, neither is my waist measurement.
I used to eat sandwiches for dinner, but now I can have a standard bun, a slice of cheese, 2 extra lean beef patties and an apple and move on to something else to do. Not a small meal by any measures, but a tremendous cut back compared to my usual. No side effects, but I have broken down in tears twice in the last week. I'm not sure if it is the drug or my situation.
I'm 62 and vegan for 7 years. So much easier to go vegan and maintain one's weight and become healthier than it is to rely on drugs and/or extreme diets.
Vegan is the epitome of extreme.
I feel like vegan is an extreme diet, but I respect people who can stick to it!
Yes..Sharon, its people like you who took the med and made a shortage for people who needed it for actual diabetes
About 12 years ago I asked the doctor if could prescribe some medication to lose weight, although I was not that excited to try, but I asked her just to test the water. And she was no inclined to prescribed. She said, it can harmful to the heart. So I did not insist. Her answer was not knew to me that I heard in many places and many years before. Now with this ozempic, I wonder what she would say.
Some lady came into my job crying cause she can't stop losing
I’ve seen this used on friends with type 2 diabetes with excellent results for them but then there were friends that saw the advantage of losing 20 lbs have had horrible affects. Not only causing serious medical problems but physically their bodies and faces look distorted and morbid. As long as big pharma and the medical community can make a profit people will continue to be Guinea pigs because all they see is a thinner person without understanding the consequences of this drug. It’s so unfortunate that those adults and children who need this medication are the ones left to the side cause their is more money to be made on vanity then a cure.
