Any June starters on wegovy?

[WIcurious]

I’ve just been prescribed wegovy and am waiting for the text to pick it up, so will be starting ASAP.

Anyone with me?

Would welcome any tips/support.

It's been one week, so I'm taking 2nd jab later today. I haven't lost anything

just took dose 4. Went up this week😳. Undecided what to do next week - I am eating less but unsure whether to move up. In 3 weeks down 1.4kg which is ok but all of that in week 1.

I'll probably keep going for the month but I'm feeling very disappointed.
Can you change to mounjaro?

I could change - I suppose I would like to wait until I go up a dose or two (my dr warned me that it may take until I get to 1mg to see weight loss) so I think I will plod along. I have an appointment tomorrow so may ask to go up to 0.5next week.

So I’m on W1D4. All good so far - no side effects thankfully.

I definitely feel fuller sooner which is quite fascinating (my portion sizes are tiny) and have less interest in food generally. Snacking isn’t entirely curbed - if it’s there, then I can still have it but it’s far far less of a craving or compulsion and feels more controllable - eg DH offered me a very yummy biscuit earlier and I had just the one, whereas previously I would’ve had that one and then instantly craved more intensively…

I’m now on my third dose of 0.25 Wegovy and although I’ve not weighed myself people are starting to comment that I look thinner. I was dieting before I started the drug and it’s been great for me as I’ve not had any side effects. I have 20kg to lose so am going to be calorie restricting for a long time.
I have found it very helpful as the craving for food between meals as almost completely disappeared. This is the first time that I’ve managed to drop weight without being totally miserable while dieting. I’m trying to eat healthy food and have cut out most deserts, biscuits and cheese which are my loves. It’s so interesting as I can watch my husband eat chocolate biscuits and not mind. If it continues like this I will be very happy as it’s just food and not comfort. Interesting to know if this is how thin people feel about food.

Also aiming for 20kg @Difficultdora - we’ve got this!!!

Like you, I’m finding it refreshing to not be thinking about food all the time. And yes wondering if this is how “normal” people feel? Though to be honest when I was younger and not overweight I don’t recall having food on my mind all the time…. But it had got to the point where it was just such a “thing” it was driving me nuts. I do wonder if part of it is information overload what with social media etc now.

Anyway, feeling very positive so far (even if I can feel the suppression wearing off a bit now on day 5) and looking forward to jab #2 on Friday…..

Hows everyone else doing?

I went up to 0.5 this weekend. Official loss 8.4lbs.

It's been a month and i've lost 3lb.
Going to higher dose later today so fingers crossed I will see some improvement.

Hi all - I am onto my 2nd month still at 0.25 and I am 8lbs down. Very happy with that as side effects minimal and I have still been able to do things like eat out with friends and enjoy family dinners etc - I have really just cut portion sizes and snacks.

I think I will move to 0.5mg next pen and see how it goes. Thanks for updating!

I’ve just moved up to 0.5 with my last injection. I thought that I was getting a reasonable suppression with the starting dose but will see if the higher dose makes any more difference. I know that it’s helping as on a course away from home last week, sat with a huge plate of chocolate bars in front of me all day and I never once wanted to have one. So strange!

I also had an Italian restaurant meal where after a sharing starter plate was completely unable to eat almost any pasta. Completely new experience and the restaurant owner was asking me if it was ok.

I have no idea how much weight I have lost and am staying away from the scales as I don’t want to get disheartened, as I have a long way to go, but I’m aware the my clothes are more comfortable. @DunnoMate great to find someone else who is on a similar journey.

This week I feel like something is happening since switching to 0.5.
Last month I felt as if I had totally wasted my time, effort and money.
I feel like I have lost but not getting on scales till next Monday otherwise I get obsessed.

Hi , about to start next Sunday. Been apprehensive as take epilepsy meds and was refused MJ but told Wegovy OK.
Meds cause weight gain plus menopause so need a boost.
Hope you all happy so far

I did my first week at 0.5 and didn’t feel much different but this week I feel like I’ve had a sudden drop. Scales have been down for 3 days on the bounce and my clothes feel looser.

Going on holiday this week so we’ll see how that goes but so far I’m feeling positive.

Ok I’m on W5 D2, exactly 30 days in.

SW 13st 1lb (83.1 kg)
CW 12st 3lbs (77.7 kg)
GW 9st 10lbs (61 kg)

12lbs or 5.4kgs down which I’m happy with as I’ve had 2 periods and a holiday in that time and tbh haven’t been that disciplined especially when then suppression has worn off.

Had my first 0.5 jab and all seems ok. A bit of diarrhea on jab day and a little more nausea than usual but all totally manageable. I’m pretty lethargic though. My step count is rubbish and only made it to the gym once last week.

I looked up some old results from a health check at work a couple of years ago and I’m basically at the same as I was then weigh wise. So that’s good but just makes me angry at myself for spending the last 2 years being so obsessed yet unhappy with my weight only to be back in the same place. Anyway…..

The focus this week will be more exercise and smaller portions!

Well, 2 months and I quit Wegovy..
I only lost 4pounds. I didn't like being constipated.
Maybe it's not my time to be slim

Checking in - slow losses here down about 9pounds in 10/11 weeks. I am ok with that as still on lowest dose due to a few work things and special celebrations which I have been able to participate in as normal ( just eating less and no snacks). I will increase to 0.5mg next jab and see if that speeds things up.

Just completed 4 weeks of 0.5 and kind of back to snacking and sugar cravings. Have still lost but losses have slowed….

I’ve lost a stone in 11 weeks. But have been on holiday. It only took two weeks to get rid of my holiday gain. Which I was very happy with. Stating on 0.5. But have ordered the 1mg and calculated the dose to give 0.5mg. So it will last longer.
