Wegovy Starter Oct 4th

[jumpingbump]

Hey - just took first dose. Would love a buddy.
5ft 4 and starting weight 90kg

Hoping to join you as I'm sneaking in at the end of the month. My Wegovy arrived (Voy) today and I'm going to do my first injection on Thursday.
5 ft 3ins CW: 12.07, hoping to get to under 10. Excited and nervous.

@DumpyKate Welcome!! I was really nervous too. Good luck for Thursday. X

Good luck! I was really nervous too but I’m 3 weeks in now and feeling positive.

Today is weigh in day and I’ve lost 4lbs this week so that’s 8lbs in total. 🎉 I got off to a slow start but feel that I’m in the swing of things now!

Thank you - I'm only waiting for Thursday to start as I'm travelling with work tomorrow and didn't want to risk feeling unwell away from home. You've made an impressive start - 8lbs is amazing! How's your appetite?

In the first 2 weeks my appetite actually felt increased rather than decreased! Then last week I went out with friends, had 3 cocktails and ordered a pizza. I ate half the pizza and felt soooo full. Since then my appetite has really reduced. Last 0.25mg jab today and then I’ll order a 0.5mg pen.

Good luck with it. I’ve not really had any notable side effects other than burping and slight constipation!

Hey! How are you all?

Hi there! Tomorrow is weigh in day AND I move onto my 0.5mg pen! Have had more of an appetite these last few days so I think it’s good I’m moving up.

How is everyone else doing?

Doing well thank you. Took my first 0.5 on Saturday so just waiting to see if the increased dose helps with the food thoughts. I am definitely making better choices though.

I started my first dose last Thursday (0.25) - no bad side effects apart from 2am acid reflux on Sat and last night. No appetite suppression as yet (was craving all sorts of food over the weekend) but last night I was really hungry for my dinner and could only eat half of it (super rare for me) so maybe it's working? I've been really good with food, loads of protein, fruit and veg and I've stayed on track although it's been hard. Sneak peak this morning and I'm 4lbs down

Hi everyone! I was away last week and had a little social media break. Looks like everyone is doing well.
I haven't been feeling great. Went up to 0.5mg on Sat and I have felt so sick and terrible burps.
I'm 9lbs down since I started. If I can get to a stone in the next couple of weeks I think that will spur me on to keep going.
I'm exhausted all the time, can't even bring myself to go for a walk. So the weight loss is going well but I'm not enjoying how I feel to be honest.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling so good. Is that totally since you started on 0.5 or did you get the tiredness from the start?

I've been tired from the start but was worse when I went to 0.5. The nausea at 0.5 was a lot more than previously. I actually started to feel a lot better yesterday around midday and feel fine today! So maybe it will be the first few days after the jab and then wear off?

How are you all doing? Do you think you will go up again or stay on 0.5. I feel good at the moment and the weight is coming off. Weigh in on Saturday.

I've felt so much better this week after an awful week last week. I've got two more jabs at 0.5 so if I don't feel ill again I'll probably go up. What are you thinking of doing? How much have you lost now? Glad to hear it's going well :)

Morning everyone, got weighed this morning and I'm 15st 13lb, so I'm into the next stone bracket! SW was 16st 10lb.

Thats brilliant @MrsCillian! I weighed in this morning and I have lost 11lbs since Oct 4th. I can't decide whether to go up or not. Need to order next week.

Hi im on my 4th injection on frid.0.5.but have been feeling so sick .took peppermint tea and capsules .worried about going up to next doze does anyone have this problem and any tips for the sickness..

Sorry to hear you’re feeling sick. Are you eating little and often and keeping hydrated? Is it the first time you’ve felt sick since you started?

I’ve got one more 0.5 mg injection to take next week. I’ve lost 12 lbs so far. It’s been slower than I thought but slower is better I think. How’s everyone else doing?

We seem to be at the same stage. I've got one more dose of 0.5mg to take at the weekend. I've lost 12.6 lbs as of this morning.
It's slower than I expected but then I remind myself that before this it took me 10 months to lose 7lbs!
I've been really tired and cold. I haven't been to the gym since starting, I'd like to get back into it, hopefully next week.

Are you planning to go up a dose or stay on 0.5mg?

Yes I’m planning to go up a dose, what about you? I’ve been cold too but the weather has turned cold so it might just be that.

I'm thinking of staying on 0.5mg for another month to get me past Christmas because I was so unwell when I went up to this dose. So think I'll go up in Jan.

Got weighed this morning and I've lost my first stone!! SW 16 st 10.6 CW 15st 9.6.
Can't believe I've lost a stone in 6 weeks! :)

Hi no its not the first week ive felt sickly and it probably been the last two.but just took last doze of 0.25 .but going to move up to next doze next week just hope I feel ok on it.lost 6lb so far getting weight tomorrow so will see how that goes.ive not try to eat little and often but thinking maybe I need to try that.

@Tubbynoddy how did you get on at your weigh in?

I've decided to go up to 1mg. I'm a bit worried about the sickness but as my husband said, I'm committed so I might as well give it a go and see how I get on with it. Might be regretting it this time next week!
