Being a huge foodie, I always dreamed that someone could invent a pill that would help me lose weight.
And now they actually did. Well, it’s not a pill; it’s a very well-known Semaglutide Injection you might have seen or heard about from many different media sources. This medication, originally used to treat type 2 diabetes, had shown promising results in aiding weight loss.
There’s a buzz around it for a reason, and of course, it caught my attention, especially after I saw my friend losing a lot of weight in no time.
Like many individuals, I found myself caught in the cycle of stress eating and unhealthy habits. The pressures of work and everyday life often led me to seek solace in food, resulting in unwanted weight gain and a decline in my overall health. Despite numerous attempts to adopt healthier habits, the scale seemed to inch higher, and frustration set in.
Even though I am one of the biggest fans of “instant solutions,” as I age, I approach things with greater caution, especially keeping in mind my super fragile immune system.
“No pain, no gain,” they say, and I believe that. But I also believe in medicine and solutions that can help us live a healthier lifestyle.
After months and months of struggling to lose weight and feeling worse than ever in my own skin, CosmeSurge, a trusted name in healthcare and wellness, came into the picture.
Although I am rarely scared to try things out, I was afraid to start taking this injection on my own, especially when I heard about many possible side effects, such as – nausea or hair loss, to name a few.
Before embarking on any weight loss journey, it's crucial to seek guidance from qualified healthcare professionals. Cosmesurge provided me with comprehensive support, including medical evaluations, personalised counselling, and ongoing monitoring throughout my treatment with Semaglutide injection. This collaborative approach ensured that my journey towards weight loss was not only effective but also safe and sustainable.
Also, there is no guarantee you would be allowed to take it, considering the many tests you will first have to go through before Dr Samir Rahmani, Head of Bariatric Surgery Consultant Bariatric and General Surgery, confirms you are a good candidate for that kind of weight-loss procedure.
Only after I was done with all those tests, including the thyroid ultrasound, I became more relaxed and encouraged about starting my weight loss journey.
As I progressed through my treatment, I began to notice significant changes in my weight. With each passing week, the numbers on the scale decreased, and my confidence soared. More importantly, I felt empowered to take control of my health and make lasting changes that extended beyond just weight loss.
I was feeling a bit dizzy only for the first two days and had just a little bit of nausea. Now, after two months, I have lost 10 kg in total and have never felt better!
I didn’t lose any hair, and the best side effect I have witnessed is that I actually stopped smoking. I was a social smoker, and I loved using vape, but since the moment I started taking these injections, I just don’t have the urge.

The best part for me is that all other cravings are finally gone. I stopped all my regular “sugar madness”, and I do eat healthy as much as possible and try to avoid everything that’s “forbidden” in my food intolerance test.
In these two months, there were only three days I recall I had cravings for sweets or any junk food.
I can’t even express how thrilled I was when I realised that after only two months, I had returned to the weight I had three years ago—75 kg.
Finally, I can fit into my old clothes again, and I hope to reach my final goal as I finish my last dose in the next three weeks.
The only problem I have is pushing myself back to the gym, which is the only way to maintain these healthy eating habits and long-desired weight.
To be very frank with you, I am worried because I am a bit of a couch potato, but I also know that I don’t wish to ever lose this feeling again and be so satisfied in my own skin, so I better at least start those #batatawalks :)
As I recently stated in one of my posts, this really could be a Year of Transformation.
Huge thanks to Dr Samir and his entire team for their incredible support and a lot of fun during this entire journey.
Stay tuned for my final results, and let's see if I will be able to reach my goal of losing 15 kg in three months.
