My dad quit Ozempic after 2 weeks. I built something because of it.

I know nobody wants another GLP-1 app. Honestly same.
My dad quit Ozempic at 2 weeks because the side effects wrecked him and he had nobody to turn to. My mom has been on Mounjaro for Type 2 diabetes. I’m on Zepbound right now myself. I’ve watched this medication from every angle in my own family.

So I built something out of frustration more than anything. Not a tracker, not a calorie counter. An AI companion that actually knows GLP-1 inside and out. She checks in before and after your injection day. She remembers what you told her last week. She helps you put together a summary for your doctor appointment. She’s there at 2am when you feel terrible and don’t know if what you’re experiencing is normal or not.

Think of her as the knowledgeable friend everyone on this medication deserves but almost nobody has.
Still early and looking for honest feedback from people who’ve actually been through the rough part of this. Not looking for hype, genuinely just want to know if something like this would have helped you. Comment or DM me if you’re curious.

Been on Wegovy myself and watched my dad quit after 2 weeks because the side effects just wrecked him. My mom’s been on it longer for type 2 diabetes and her experience has been completely different.

Seeing it from all three angles made me realize how little actual support exists for people in those early weeks like real guidance, not just “eat bland food and drink water.”

What would have genuinely helped you in your first 30 days that you couldn’t find anywhere? A tool, a resource, a type of support, anything. What’s missing?

My dad started Ozempic and couldn’t make it past 2 weeks. The nausea and fatigue just destroyed him and he gave up. I’m on it myself for weight loss and my mom takes it for diabetes so I’ve seen this medication from a lot of different angles.

I’m trying to understand if his experience is common. For those of you who almost quit early on, what was the worst part? And for those who did quit, what would have actually helped you push through? I want to help him reach his goal!
