Wegovy September Starters

[Elliebearblues]

Hi all, I’ve bitten to bullet and ordered my first Wegovy prescription, I was looking into both Mounjaro and Wegovy but I think with the price hike of Mounjaro it would be to expensive.

I’ve tried so many diets over the years and nothing has worked. I want to lose roughly 3 stone, nervous but also excited and looking for some buddies to do this with xx

I started today, order about 10 days ago and arrived this morning. Partly delayed by Royal Mail insisting that I signed for the package.

Injection virtually painless, I’m sure it’s psychological but I don’t feel hungry- my lunch break is usually now so I’m programmed to be starving by now.

I am really glad I found this thread.
I just injected my first dose of Wegovy this morning.
So far no real side effects. I am slightly headachy but I've been like that all week!
Really needed to do something because despite me telling myself for quite a few years that I could sort my weight out, it has just gone up and up.
My BMI is currently about 32 and I also have high blood pressure and cholesterol as well as pre-.diabetes. The last 6 months have been really stressful with the death of a parent and life limiting illness of one of my closest friends. Lots of other stresses too ( you really don't want to know about the soil pipe saga) and I've just been comfort binging on sweets and chocolate!
Anyway I have eaten well today, so let's see what happens!

I have just had my 1st dose- really worried about side effects, fingers crossed I won’t have many

I am going to take mine tonight, l am going to just stop worrying about side effects, l have bought it so now l just need to commit to it.

Hi everyone!

I just took my first dose last night, I was feeling really nauseous but it turned out I just needed to eat. I feel good now!

I'm excited to see if this works!

Hello everyone, I'm so happy for you all getting fantastic results already! I started Wegovy at the start of the month, currently halfway through week 3. I have felt a bit of appetite reduction (though weirdly I felt it more in the first 2 weeks than this past one...), only lost 3lbs so far but it's 3lbs more lost than pretty much the rest of the year so I'll take it! I'm trying to trust the process, I know this is the very first month and the lowest dose so I'll increase after the month as advised and see how that goes. I also haven't been going to the gym as much as I've been busy at work and feeling drained, but I'll be adding more exercise too and seeing what happens. Anyone else having a bit of a slower start? X

Just eaten some lunch and feeling a little sick and dizzy but felt well this morning

I woke up a few times feeling sick but managed to go back to sleep, felt the same all day but trying to eat little and often and it seems to be working. I’m really tired though and according to my watch I had little to no rem sleep last night which is unusual, hopefully have a better night tonight

I took my first dose on Friday night and felt REALLY strange all day yesterday. Headache, lightheaded and really dry mouth. Absolutely fine today but no appetite suppression - perhaps expecting too much, too soon? Glad there are so many starting around the same time for support! Good luck to you all x

Hiya, I recognise a few names from other threads. I started last Monday, o almost a week in, 2nd jab due tomorrow. Ive definitely had a mix of side effects, but none particularly strong or debilitating! No stomach issues apart from slight nausea if I leave it too long without eating.
Not sure if I will have lost much, doesn't feel like I have. I have been very strict on 1200 calories a day and 80-100g of protein though. So ill be pissed off if I haven't lost a single thing 😆

I’ve just switched to wegovy. I was up to 7.5mg on mounjaro and lost 2 stone. I’d like to do another stone / stone and a half maybe. I know we govy has slightly less maximum loss so glad I got the majority off with mounjaro. On the lowest wegovy dose as part of the switch so yet to see any real results. Not as hungry as I expected to be tho

I started last Tuesday so 5 days in, seems to be going well so far.

Tuesday after I jabbed I felt lightheaded and a bit woozy but after a few hours I was fine. Haven’t had any other side effects, hoping it stays this way haha.

I went with IQ Doctor, ordered on the Sunday, approved on Monday delivered on the Tuesday. I checked the igovy website for the cheapest pen.

Hi everyone can I join. I switched from MJ to wegovy and did my first injection last Thursday. No weight yet. Feeling similar suppression to MJ but not as much. Feeling hopeful though

Gas anyone had any impact with Wegovy on osteoarthritis. I have mild osteoarthritis ( just my age) and feel like it has been more painful since my first dose of Wegovy on Saturday but I don't know if it is just coincidence

Mines been more painful but I put it down to the weather changing, pretty cold here. But maybe its more than that? X

Yes, I only have v mild symptoms normally and don't usually notice a change with the weather.

Anyone not lose the week before their period? X

monday update after 1st Friday jab: nausea this morning that eased off once I’d eaten but my goodness, horrific indigestion! Anyone else experiencing really vivid dreams?!! I’m waking up exhausted, they’re so bonkers!

I tend to lose less the weeks either side of my period but haven't noticed the big increase in weight I used to have before my period pre injections

I have some mild nausea too from first jab on Saturday but not masses of indigestion - just occasionally burpy!

Hi all, just a quick update.

Suppression tapered off yesterday and I felt hungry for the first time all week but it is jab day today so I wasn’t too worried.

Lost 3lb and that was with a night out on the weekend. Overall quite happy with my first week.

Well done ♥️

Im feeling a bit deflated today! Mid way through week 2. I lost 4lb the first week, just weighed myself and nothing so far this week 😢 ive been super strict and not been over 1200 calories, ive been logging everything, eating healthy food, lots of protein and tons of water. Not sure what else im supposed to do.
If I eat less calories a day than 1200 I feel like thats not healthy to sustain or good for my body and organs?

Any one got any advice or in the same boat?!

Feels a bit hopeless today, and I was so positive last week ☹️

@NosferafternoonTea don't let this demotivate you! I've been taking it for around 8 weeks now and sometimes I lose 3lb a week sometimes nothing! In total I've lost 17lbs. It ebs and flows. The average is 1-2lb a week, so I always look at it like that 4lb you lost, that's actually 2 weeks worth of loss. If you lost it any faster you will lose muscle as well. You're doing great! Keep on doing what you're doing and you'll continue to lose x

Thank you, that's so helpful to think of it like that and also to know that other people dont lose some weeks either 🤎
Thank you
