DeniseRN_TPA — wow. I've been looking for this exact info for weeks.

Want to share my personal experience related to Semaglutide and alcohol since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 263 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 6 months later: I am down 38 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Semaglutide and aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

anders_CPH — that is really helpful context on Semaglutide and alcohol. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?

I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.

Want to share my personal experience related to Semaglutide and alcohol since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 280 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 12 months later: I am down 45 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Semaglutide and aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
