For those struggling to see progress with diet and exercise alone, weight loss injections like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide offer a medically supported solution. These weekly injections can help curb appetite and promote sustainable weight loss. But what kind of results can you expect week by week?

Dr. Robert Kearney, a board-certified plastic surgeon serving the San Diego area, offers personalized weight loss programs that include weekly Semaglutide or Tirzepatide injections to help patients achieve their health goals. By combining these treatments with tailored lifestyle guidance, Dr. Kearney provides a comprehensive approach to weight loss, supporting patients throughout their journey.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect with these medical weight-loss shots.

Week 1: Getting Started

The first week is all about your body adjusting to the medication. Most people notice a reduced appetite and fewer cravings, particularly for high-calorie or sugary foods. While the scale may not move much yet, you’ll likely feel more in control of your eating habits, which is a critical first step.

Week 2-4: Early Progress

By the end of the first month, many people start to see subtle changes. It’s common to lose one to two pounds per week during this phase, depending on your starting weight and lifestyle. You may also notice improved energy levels as your blood sugar stabilizes, a key benefit of both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.

Week 5-8: Noticeable Results

This is when the results often become more noticeable. By the two-month mark, you could be down five to seven percent of your body weight if you’re consistent with injections, maintain a healthy diet, and stay active. Clothing may start to feel looser, and you’ll likely feel more confident in your progress.

Month 3 and Beyond: Steady Progress

After the first few months, weight loss becomes steadier. Clinical studies show that patients using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide can lose an average of 10-15% of their body weight over 6-12 months. Weekly injections help control hunger and support gradual, sustainable fat loss.

What to Keep in Mind Each Week

  • Stay Consistent: Regular injections are essential for achieving long-term results.
  • Monitor Progress: Tracking your weight and measurements can help you stay motivated.
  • Consult Your Doctor: Adjustments to dosage or additional support may be necessary if results plateau.
