Everyone responds at a different pace, but here’s a general timeline of what most patients experience with weight loss treatment:
Weeks 1–2
Appetite begins to reduce
You may feel fuller sooner and eat less
Some patients experience nausea or mild digestive changes as the body adjusts
Weeks 3–4
Hunger and cravings reduce further
Portion sizes naturally decrease
Early weight loss may begin (~1–2kg for some patients)
Weeks 4–8
Energy and mood may improve
Continued fat loss, especially with good food choices
Better control over snacking and emotional eating
Week 8 Onward
Weight loss becomes more noticeable
Dose is gradually increased (as prescribed) for better results
Blood sugar stabilisation often improves (especially in insulin-resistant patients)
Months 3–6
Most patients reach 5–10% weight loss from starting body weight
Confidence, physical performance, and energy typically improve
Many experience better sleep, digestion, and mood
Months 6–12
Weight loss may reach 10–20% or more
Appetite control becomes the new normal
Long-term benefits depend on consistency and healthy habits
Weight loss treatment works best when combined with good nutrition, movement, and sleep.
