Will I gain weight back if I stop Ozempic?

Yes, it is very likely that you will regain some of the weight once you stop using Ozempic. To minimize the weight gain it’s important to be weaned off the medications and make the necessary lifestyle changes so that you do not regain too much weight. Eating a higher protein diet and resistance training and two key components of a plan to ensure you maintain your weight- and also so that you don’t lose much muscle mass while on the medications. It’s important to have proper counseling on nutrition and exercise so you have great success while on these medications.

I hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for your question. Gaining weight after Ozempic can be common, especially if patients are not incorporating healthy eating habits and a good exercise regimen into each day. The medication can suppress your appetite, ultimately reducing how frequent one eats as well as reaching early satiety. If a healthy lifestyle is already incorporated into each day, a proper foundation has been placed to achieve long term results. Once the medication is stopped, appetite can return to normal or at increased levels.
