Wegovy

[BlueMumma2018]

Anyone starting wegovy this week?

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

My husband was not impressed when I started but he can see how much happier I am with myself now. They don’t get it though, they just need to cut back on crisps for a week and they’ve lost 5lbs in my experience.

I’ve been really hungry today 😫😫😫😫

Oh no @Toooldforthis36 How did you distract yourself?

Not very well…..I’m chalking it up to the end of the 0.25mg dose and becoming used to it - next jab tomorrow and am up to the 0.5mg.

just a bit worried I’m doing the usual, looking at a 12lb first month loss and thinking “job done”

that said, I ate crisps earlier, not feeling amazing for it now. Hoping that is lesson learned… x

About the crisps, do you mean they made you feel queasy or disappointed?

I haven’t noticed any food aversion. I’m not eating much as I’m not hungry, but I made a chocolate cake yesterday and had a small slice etc. Calorie- wise, though, I’m well under 1500 cal daily.

Actually both, disappointed first but a couple of hours later just really feeling that the greasiness isn’t sitting well with me.

Argh, that’s a bit rubbish. I hope you get back on track feeling hunger-free after the next dose. Are you making other changes? I’m doing some resistance band exercises and drinking 2l a day, though I have to remind myself of that.

Don’t be hard on yourselves ladies, everyone is doing great ❤️

Thanks all! Generally been quite good and tracking protein with WW app..just a bit of a wobble, to be expected sometimes I guess! Onwards! X

That's my DH too. He thinks all you need to lose a stone is to cut out the chocolate and hey presto. Why is it so easy for men?

I'm about to start my first, wish me luck. I have around 2 stone minimum to lose

Hi All, I have been on the 1.0 dose for three weeks now and have barely lost a pound. I lost two stone on the lower doses. Not sure what to do. Am not eating badly. Anyone have any advice?

@Mummadeze you’ve reached a plateau, but it might pick up again? Are you keeping broadly within the same calorie intake?

@Mummadeze Have you been tracking calories? The shit reality of life is that the less you weigh, the fewer calories you need to maintain weight, never mind lose it. So there's scope that if you haven't altered your calorific intake down, that could be behind it. But it seems quite early days for that. Tracking calories would be your best way of working out what's going on. Perhaps you're portions are a bit big, even if you're eating well?

Thank you both. I haven’t really been tracking calories because I have been fasting. Ie not eating dinner. Yesterday I had a smoothie for breakfast and a jacket potato with beans for lunch and nothing else. Feel like that isn’t much food but I will pay more attention to the calories, thank you. Am also upping my exercise now too. I have my 50th birthday party in April and two stone to lose still.

are you getting enough protein in @Mummadeze ? Sure it will start to move again, stick with it xx

Good point about the protein. I have lots of food allergies so can’t have the obvious sources like dairy or eggs. I will think about that too now though. I will definitely stick with it though. Am v happy to have lost that two stone initially. I was literally putting on weight daily before I went on it. Thanks again.

I’m 2kg down this first week. V happy. I didn’t have time to do the next dose this morning, will make time tonight. It’ll be interesting to see if hunger starts kicking in today. I felt it a bit yesterday, on the last day of the first injection. I ate a bit more but still under 1500 Cals. Like a phone/fridge/washing machine that gets faulty the very day after your warranty runs out.

How is everyone else?

That’s great in a week @LadyWithLapdog well done!

I definitely got the last day pangs (more so on the last of the 0.25mg pen) but back on track having upped it to 0.5mg on Tuesday. Defo feeling the appetite drop right off again.

My scales stayed still this week too. Although I wasn’t tracking calories properly this week so I’m back on that again. Was supposed to inject my first .5mg last night but felt poorly (some crud my child has had all week no doubt. the early night has me feeling much better today so I did it this morning.

I must drink more water too.

I do think that although the scales haven’t moved I do think that I have lost size. My clothes are a touch looser. I had to tighten my bra band and my engagement ring is just spinning around my finger this week. I know I often retain water so trying to not get discouraged. I have lost 10lb in 4 weeks so that’s pretty good!

@Nicebloomers that sounds familiar! I defo stagnated towards end of 0.25mg. Hoping to see some movement now on the next dose, certainly noticed the lack of hunger return again. 100% concentrating on upping the water though, think I slacked off on that if I’m honest.

@Toooldforthis36 i think I’ve slacked off too. It’s fine, lesson learned. I need to meal plan better this week.

Anyone not notice anything after first dose? Took it last night and the usual rumbling tummy this morning. I feel fine, no side effects, like I never took it. Gutted if I'm going to have to wait for a bigger dose. I have a holiday at Easter and was hoping to lose a bit before then

@starlilly88 i noticed the next morning after taking it in the evening, but I have seen in here that not everyone does straight away. Fingers crossed it kicks in soon

@Nicebloomers thanks, fingers crossed. I'm so hungry this morning, it's like I've taken something that's made me starving!
