Wegovy and holiday?

[LongtimeLurker2]

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve just received my prescription ( 1 month of 1.5) however due to go on holiday in two weeks. Do I start now or wait, I would like to have a few drinks on holiday however don't know if this would affect weight loss etc.

I’d defer it. Assuming you can’t take it with you. The pen is fine for a month at up to 30 degrees but you may not want to pack it.
I’ve been on a few holidays since starting 1.5 years ago and just miss one injection and let my provider know then go back to weekly schedule. Works fine.
I did find most of my symptoms were in the first few weeks before they settled down so you don’t want to compromise the holiday feeling a bit off.

Sorry I should have said it’s the pills I’ve got not the injection.

I took mine on holiday with me, managed to put on weight 🤣 but not as much as I usually do.

Drinking does not affect weight loss as such unless you drink huge amounts - but in general I found out I dont feel like drinking anyway, same with food, just no interest.

I dont think it would make much difference as it takes several weeks to kick in properly. But probably defer to after the holiday in case you have side effects etc.

I put mine off until I got back from holiday in the summer. It was so hot that I wasn’t that hungry anyway and lost a few pounds. When I got back and started I was glad I didn’t have the mild nausea while I was away.

one downside is that the provider acts like I started the tablets straight away and is always trying to get me to represcribe before I’ve got to grips with a dose / change in dose. Something to keep in mind.
