Wegovy

[BlueMumma2018]

Anyone starting wegovy this week?

would love to hear from others starting out.. I’m nervous!

@Stormin it seems to be moving right way then, maybe next dose will have a stronger effect? I didn't lose any weight week 2, but I went to gym a lot and had bad muscle soreness so maybe that was the reason as it retains water.

I have had couple of glasses of wine without major issues, but I've lost the desire to drink, which is so strange for me. I usually have wine with dinner. One evening I had about 3 glasses, socialising, and the headache day after was awful. I've got social event too this Saturday so not sure what I will do as my injection is on Fridays 😬

@ByCoolMoose yes mine is due Friday too but I’m going to hold off till Sunday as want to play it safe

I started on Saturday and vomited all day Sunday, I feel very nauseous, so have hardly eaten so far. Am hoping this will pass as my system gets used to it, if it doesn’t then I will need to stop as this is quite debilitating. Interested to hear how others are managing and whether those with symptoms see an improvement.

Does anyone have a discount code for bolt pharmacy? Once you get to 1.7mg the prices are a lot!

@Imaginemissmarple
I ended up counting clicks and took a 1/3 of a dose for a week or 2 then a 1/2 dose gradually working my way up to a full 0.25 dose which I'm still on.
I have a friend who had the same trouble and is still take 1/3 of a 0.25 dose and is losing weight slowly but steadily. HTH

Sorry if this has been asked before but where have you been able to obtain extra needles to stretch out the doses?

i have been started on 0.5 so that might be the issue, I think I will slow down and reduce the clicks too to manage this more easily until I adjust.

Thinking of starting wegovy after nearly a year of chickening out and procrastinating. Money is tight so I need to work out which is the best price but still a reputable place to get it from. Can I ask where others get theirs from?

My scales didn’t move for almost 2 weeks. Guess what? I just got my period. I am finding that getting my period really screws with my weight loss. That said I lost 2.5 lbs when it did move so im still doing well I’m the grand scheme of things. 19lbs in 2 months (a dress size) and nothing unbearable side-effects wise.

I have discovered that I get the most awful indigestion if I eat yogurt though so that’s a shame.
@Stormin i just don’t fancy alcohol at all on Wegovy. I didn’t drink much anyway, but I just don’t think I could manage a glass of wine now.

Thanks @Nicebloomers -good to hear your experience, I know I just need to keep ploughing on! Still not hungry so that’s something!! You are doing so well, the dress size change is great! Makes shopping less of a traumatic prospect 🤣
Totally agree re alcohol, just can’t face that!

Checking in, it's a big success today - first time under 200lbs in a long time!

SW: 212/213lbs
CW: 197lbs

I'm still on week 1 of 0.5 for another couple of days.

I have been ill (still!) including a tummy bug so obviously this lowered the weight, but I'm still so happy to get under 200lbs and I'll keep going 💪 currently have zero appetite recovering from this bug + on Wegovy, I need to remind myself to drink water.

Hope everyone is doing and feeling ok 🙏❤️

@Berlioze Congratulations! That's brilliant! I love getting to psychological milestones. I'm half a pound away from being 12 stone + instead of 13 stone +, and I'm unreasonably excited about it already!

Hope you feel better really soon. Keep slurping that water...

Well done @Berlioze 🎉🎉🥳🥳

That's a brilliant milestone @Berlioze, congratulations!

Thank you all, really appreciate it! I hope it'll start being more visible soon, I had/have a lot of fat to lose so it's not a game changer just yet. But baby steps! 😄 xx

Well done @Berlioze

I’m having some fluctuations as I was abroad for a long weekend and ate out, had beer etc. Looks like the extra miles I walked every day weren’t enough to counteract those calories. I’m at the end of the 1st week of 0.5 and I haven’t found it as effective as 0.25, but I’ll keep going.

Well done @Berlioze!

I forgot to inject yesterday so I’ll do it tonight instead. I don’t actually feel like it’s worn off yet though so maybe in future I can push the dose further and save some ££

Well done Berlioze!

I have a few trips coming up and it won't be practical to take the pen nor keep it chilled. Trying to work out what to do...

Options:
Inject the morning of the day I normally do, but risk feeling ropey. I normally inject at night. Sod's Law it's also the date of my first 1.0 jab so a new dosage too 😕.
The other option is to do it 24hrs early so I can then go straight to bed. Not sure how bad it is to do it early.

And then for another trip, I really won't be able to do it until 48 hours late. Does that then mean I need to alter my date from then ongoing? That would be annoying, and shift me to an awkward day for future trips.

Arse.

How long is your trip away, @Cuzco ?

@Cuzco I’d do the 24h early and 48h late for those trips. I think you’d have to alter the day of the week after the delayed one. Or just carry on with 0.5 and play around with the dates? But you don’t want to undo all the good work and lose momentum.

@Berlioze i think I was the same with the 0.5 mg

@BlueMumma2018 1.7mg generally is more expensive everywhere.

@Cuzco I was told you can take it 1-2 days early and it shouldn’t be a problem

Weigh day today, 3 weeks of 0.25 and no loss again! That's 4 lbs loss first week and nothing second and third 😟 Oh well, I'm hoping it's to do with the weight training I've been doing, building muscles and retaining water during DOMS, as my scale says there is 2% fat loss and my body shape has changed slightly. Still a bit frustrating as I have been eating half of my usual portion sizes of home cooked meals and without being hungry so no snacking. My body is ALWAYS fighting me when I try to lose weight, I was hoping Wegovy would help me push past the 10 lbs loss limit I never can get past, hopefully higher doses will do the trick. I'll just have to be patient 😊

Well done @Berlioze 👏

@susiedaisy1912 , I get mine from Boots, after first pen you get 10% off if you have boots reward card. You also get help with lifestyle changes and 60% off WW.

I'm 2nd week of 1mg but think I might drop back to .5 or .75 next week. I've felt exhausted this week and queasy lots of the time. Didn't really have any side effects on the lower doses except not hungry.

I need to do a weigh in soon but people are commenting that I've lost weight now and my clothes feel loser so I'm losing.

Also I do go 8/9 days in between doses sometimes if I feel I don't need a top up so saving a bit of money there.
