I’m a diabetic type 2 overweight and with a fatty liver. My doctor gave me Rybelsus 14 mg since 2 weeks. I ve had a loss of appetite but no loss of weight yet. Does anyone have an experience on how this medication acts, do you loose weight gradually? Or maybe if you don’t loose weight it’s not correct for you?? I would love to hear your experience and please let me know if you have lost weight and if you are satisfied with rybelsus!!! thanks if anyone will reply!! Have a nice evening

Hi @danydesy and welcome to the forum. I started taking Rybelsus at the start of this year when the Victoza injections I was on became impossible to source anymore. I started on a month of 3mg tablets, then the dose was increased to 7mg which is where I’ve stayed. I have lost 7kg since January, having lost 14.5kg during 8 months of taking Victoza. So my weigh loss has been slower on Rybelsus but maybe my rate of loss would have slowed down anyway as I get closer to target. I do find that I have to exert a bit of will power to keep my meals, which are low carb, small. If I eat too much I feel uncomfortable.

Sorry I just realised I didn’t answer your question about how Rybelsus works, here’s a link to an article where you should get your answers, explained way better than I could:

I haven’t worked it out that way, but I’ll trust your maths! It’s been slow but steady.

@danydesy , I love your avatar. I think it is a good thing to lose weight slowly. Your body is slowly adapting to change metabolically and physically.

Thanks for your encouragement!! I would like to speak to others who are going through this stage with semaglutide oral…but it’s difficult to find people in my same situation or maybe I put my post in the wrong discussion!! Thanks for anyone who can explain how semaglutide 14 mg can affect weight loss and in which way!!More testimonials will help me discover the mechanism of semaglutide!! And will help me to get more confidence and believe in this fantastic pharmacy!!! Have a lovely week!!
