When I first heard about Ozempic (semaglutide), it was already making headlines across Europe — from London to Berlin and Paris. Friends, colleagues, and even family members were asking the same thing: Does it really work, and how much weight can you lose in the first month?
I’ve now seen enough real cases — and lived through parts of this journey myself — to share a personal perspective.
The First Month on Ozempic
The first four weeks aren’t about dramatic, overnight results. Most people I know, myself included, saw a loss of around 2–4 kilos in the first month. Some were a bit disappointed at first because they were hoping for double-digit numbers right away. But here’s the truth: Ozempic isn’t a crash diet. It’s a tool that works steadily, helping your body adjust and creating sustainable changes.
What Changed the Most for Me
The biggest difference wasn’t just the number on the scale — it was the control over food cravings. Smaller portions felt natural, and for the first time in years, eating less didn’t feel like a battle. That’s where Ozempic really stands out.
Beyond the First Month
By the second and third month, the results became more visible. I’ve seen people in European clinics lose 7–10 kilos in three months, and clinical research shows 10–15% of total body weight reduction in about a year. The progress is steady, and that’s what makes it sustainable.
Russian-Speaking Doctors in Europe
One detail that has helped me — and many others — is access to Russian-speaking doctors across Europe. In cities like Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, and London, there are specialists (endocrinologists and weight-loss doctors) who provide consultations in Russian.
This makes a huge difference for patients who feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics like weight, diet, and health in their native language. The doctors not only prescribe Ozempic but also guide patients with tailored nutrition advice and regular follow-ups — in Russian.
Side Effects to Expect
Like many, I experienced mild nausea and occasional digestive discomfort in the first weeks. These passed fairly quickly, especially with the right advice from my doctor. Most people I know had a similar adjustment period.
My Opinion in One Line
If you’re thinking about Ozempic in Europe, especially with the support of Russian-speaking doctors, expect a realistic 2–4 kg weight loss in the first month. The bigger changes show up after 2–3 months, and they feel much more sustainable than any quick diet I’ve ever tried.
Takeaway: Ozempic isn’t a magic wand, but with the right doctor — including many excellent Russian-speaking specialists in Europe — it can be a safe, steady, and effective way to achieve long-term weight management.
