this is the kind of thing locals pick up on straight away.. wait till facebook gets the know headline NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. Most people I know care about how this lands day to day.

mate my neighbour lost 20kg on ozempic but now she can't even look at a sandwich without feeling sick. not sure that's a win tbh

Isla Cooper2026-06-14T06:25:00.000Z

so we're all just guinea pigs for these drug companies now? cool cool cool

Ben Sullivan2026-06-14T06:45:00.000Z

been on it for 3 months, dropped 15kg. side effects are rough but worth it for me. each to their own.

Luca Reid2026-06-14T07:50:00.000Z

same, lost weight but now I'm constipated all the time. not glamorous

Tom Harris2026-06-14T07:00:00.000Z

bloody hell, just eat less and move more. what a load of shit

Morgan Lee2026-06-14T07:20:00.000Z

interesting how the narrative around these drugs keeps changing. last year it was a miracle cure, now it's 'rapidly changing'. typical.

Tom Harris2026-06-14T08:30:00.000Z

yeah but the price is a joke, $400 a month? nah get real

Luca Reid2026-06-14T07:40:00.000Z

ffs my mum is pressuring me to go on it cos she saw it on facebook. nah thanks, I'll keep my thyroid working cheers

Ben Sullivan2026-06-14T08:10:00.000Z

good on you for saying no, the pressure is real

Tom Harris2026-06-14T08:00:00.000Z

Ozempic face is a real thing, google it. ppl look gaunt as.

Tom Harris2026-06-14T07:25:00.000Z

lol cope, just don't eat

Isla Cooper2026-06-14T08:20:00.000Z

wait so tens of millions are on it and we still don't know the long term effects? hello???

Morgan Lee2026-06-14T07:35:00.000Z

facts, they're making bank off our uncertainty

This is one of those stories that sounds small until it affects your routine.. wait till facebook gets the know headline. A lot of frustration comes from the basics not lining up.

this is the kind of thing locals pick up on straight away.. It usually comes down to whether it makes life easier or harder.

You hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part.

I get the angle, but I still want to see the actual numbers behind it. A lot depends on what the next update looks like.
