I’ve been on Wegovy for a year and I’ve lost 3.5 stone which has been slow coming off but I’m ok with that. Ideally I’d like to lose another 7 lbs but my BMI is 25.9 so it’s close to normal. I exercise quite a lot, I run and do weights over five sessions per week. I’ve had some side effects from the injections, mainly awful trapped wind and sulfur burps, I’ve recently had diarrhea which has been quite debilitating. I’ve had to stop exercising and just do a few walks instead.

Has anyone just stopped after a year and if so, what was your experience? I want to continue but I’ve had other health issues recently (seizure and lightheaded) and I can’t rule out that it’s not down to the injections (electrolytes) and I feel that I should just stop. I’m reluctant because I have enjoyed a year free of food noise! I’m not sure what to expect if is just stop and how quickly will I start being hungry again?

Thanks.

Could you share what happened?

It will take a while for the drug to completely come out of your system.
