I lost 50 pounds by stopping drinking Coca-Cola, and drinking water.

From what I hear Ozempic causes stomach paralysis, meaning whatever you eat you puke up so that’s a pretty nasty side effect

I want a new drug

One that won’t make me sick
One that won’t make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick

I want a new drug
One that won’t hurt my head
One that won’t make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you

I want a new drug
One that won’t spill
One that don’t cost too much
Or come in a pill

I want a new drug
One that won’t go away
One that won’t keep me up all night
One that won’t make me sleep all day
One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you, baby

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won’t make me feel too bad
One that won’t make me feel too good

I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that won’t make me talk too much
Or make my face break out
One that won’t make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you

These are lies meant to cover up the orchestrated famine.

I’ve taken Ozempic, and I didn’t have any vomiting issues.

I tried Ozempic. Stopped after 3+ weeks. Felt nauseous and had terrible indigestion the whole time. It practically stops motility through the digestive system, hence the ‘full’ feeling.

Not for me...and they’re prescribing it for all kinds of things. It has an intolerable side effect profile and expensive.

As long as the price remains so high, I doubt the drug will make a dent in food sales.

When you paying over $1000 a month for your prescription, you may well have less money available for food.

It’s being called ‘cyclic vomiting’ and now for the really ‘good’ news .... it often doesn’t stop after you stop the drug. The gastroparesis continues & so does the vomiting, as much as a year or more later. The gastroparesis might even be a permanent condition in some people.

Would you like some icing on that cake? How about some thyroid cancer?

“Research suggests that Ozempic, a popular weight loss drug fueled by social media, may be linked to an increased risk of thyroid cancer, particularly after 1-3 years of treatment.4”

All compliments of Big Harma!

Note: ‘snark’ is not meant for you personally ... just fed up to the gills with Big Harma & the illness/damage they cause with no regard for human health/life.

OM. I’ve always said folks should get a Dr’s note or something to purchase those things !!! Pretty impressive considering the durability of the fabric however.

“As Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs become more popular, Americans might start buying less food, particularly high-calorie snacks and fast food.”

HAHAHAHAHA. This author does not understand Americans at all.

I’ve never had a serious weight problem so I can’t understand. But whenever I have gained weight, I would just keep busy doing and/or thinking about things that have nothing to do with food.

people disabled or killed by the ‘vaccine’ also shop at grocery stores less often.......and people who are jobless in the Biden economy purchase less....and then grocery stores in lawless ghettos (i.e. San Francisco) created by progressives are closing because they can’t keep employees safe from thugs who aren’t punished for stealing and assault...

Sounds good. Gimme some of that!

“The most common Ozempic side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and constipation. Serious Ozempic side effects include allergic reactions, changes in vision and pancreatitis. Ozempic has an FDA boxed warning for the risk of thyroid C-cell tumors.”
