WLI. Help.

[Namenamchange]

Hi, thinking of taking WLI, if you have taken them, did you have any side effects and how long did it take to work.

I’m emetophobia so I worry about the feeling sick side, also did you lose any hair.

Thanks

I didn’t have any side effects really. Didn’t lose any hair. Didn’t feel sick. I did get constipated but that’s because I wasn’t eating enough fruit and veg. Now I eat fruit after every meal and I eat plenty of veg. I came off them in probably the Nov and put 7lb on over Christmas. I went back on them in Jan for one month, lost the 7lb and been stable ever since. My appetite has definitely decreased. Good luck!

There is a specific WLI board that you might want to look at. What you will learn is everyone is different.

For me, Mounjaro changed my life and I am over 5 stone down.

Some people get bad GI symptoms, others hardly anything. One thing to be aware of that you may feel the effects straight away or it could take months - you have to be prepared to fund it for the long haul

I don't feel sick every. I do get occasional constipation and feel a little lethargic soon after my injection. My hair is thick and is always falling out anyway so no idea if wli are making that worse...I take biotin though and that helps.

I have severe emetophobia and kept the pen in the fridge for a long time before I worked up the courage to use it.

1 year on, 4 stone down, never felt sick even once. Get bad constipation but it’s manageable and worth it.

I took half doses of 1.25 for 6 weeks because I was too afraid to just go for it.

Pop over to the WLI board, you will get more answers without any judgement.

For me: I am on 5mg since August, I felt a bit nausea but nothing peppermint and lemon and honey tea wouldn't cure. Definitely constipation so I have to be careful what I eat.

I lost 26lg so far, 13 to go. It changed my life and I am really happy. I changed my whole way of eating, learned a lot about my food triggers and am having so much more energy.

I have been on Mounjaro since Jan 2025 and am maintaining having lost over five and a half stone.

I haven’t been sick once in that time.

Didnt lose any hair either. Hair loss is a possibility with any method of weight loss, it’s not actually related to the WLI

I’ve been on MJ since last July, as a certified needle phobe, and I’ve lost 3.5 stone. I’ve never been sick. I’ve had an upset stomach at times and the dreaded sulphur burbs, but my health has improved dramatically and I’m now treating myself to some new clothes and a glow up. Best of luck with your decision. I know it can frightening.
