Wegovy Starter Oct 4th

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

I think I’m still going to jab. Is that stupid? I’ve now lost 1 stone 2.25lbs. Slow but steady. Im worried that if I skip a jab I’ll gain weight.

I had my first jab 22nd August, I was 14st6 and now I'm 11st5! My goal was between 11-11st7 so I'm happy and now tapering off. I went up each time and this last month was 1.7mg but my next pen is going back down.

I had hardly any side effects until this last pen where I've been sick twice and the other end. But I think that was from eating too much or not eating at all. I'm really struggling to eat anything, I just don't fancy anything. But I am happy with where I am so attempting to come off!

Hi everyone!

I thought I’d posted an update a couple of weeks ago but looks like it didn’t upload…
It’s good to see everyone is doing well. I’ve been on the 0.5 dose for a couple of months now, as wanted to go slowly. Decided to go for the next dose up, 1mg, but that means my next jab is the 23rd. I’m feeling a bit nervous about that, I seem to have had very minimal side effects so far and I’m worried that increasing might jump the risk of side effects kicking in. DH is very much of the mind that if it helps us stay in control over Christmas then it’s worth it.

I’ve been losing steadily, lost 19.5lb since first week in October. Started at 14st 3 3/4 and now 12st 12 1/4.

Has anyone got advice/experience to share on moving from 0.5 to 1mg dose?

I've decided I'm still going to jab. Delayed by a day so just done it, because I was out at a party last night and didnt fancy jabbing drunk when I got home!

That's fantastic weight loss. You must feel great!

I was ok moving to 1mg. I've had nausea throughout though. I can't wait to come off the jabs all together to be honest. I'm happy with the results but fed up feeling sick. I also have no enjoyment of food at all. I'm going up to 1.7mg on the next pen. I've gone up each time.

How did everyone manage Xmas day food? I ate about 3/4 of my Xmas dinner and felt really full. I then popped round to feed my neighbours cat and had to run to their loo as I had diarrhoea!

I should have jabbed earlier this week but decided to delay for a few days, so was (stupidly) surprised to have such a bad stomach!

Hi everyone! How was your Christmas? I am about to take my first 1.7 dose but a little apprehensive. I've plateaued this last week but given its Christmas I am not too concerned. I am a little worried about side effects with this next jump up but am hoping for better results over next 4 weeks. I dont think I can afford to continue you much longer or if I do may have to switch provider. Currently with chequp. How are you all feeling?

Happy New Year!
For the first time ever I have lost weight over Christmas! Only half a pound but I'm amazed. Haven't jabbed since 21st Dec because I ordered too late, had a notification that it's on it's way so, I'm expecting it tomorrow.

The biggest thing for me is that for the first time in 10 years I've woken up on NYD without a weight of dread hanging over me about what I should eat today, new year new diet and all the self loathing that goes with such a negative body image. I felt quite emotional when I realised that this morning.

@jumpingbumpIf you (or anyone else) need a referral code for another site, I can give you one for Simple Online Pharmacy.

How are you feeling on 1.7mg?
I spent a month on it then came down bit by bit because of the price. I am currently on 1mg but only using 3/4ish of the dose to make it stretch to 5 weeks. I can already feel the appetite coming back which is a concern.

That's good to know - I've been on 0.5 for two month and was losing well but it's slowed a bit and I'm not feeling as full after meals as I was (it really made me eat smaller portions right from the start). So I'm thinking about moving to 1mg next order but I have reservations as I do get mild nausea a lot of the time.

Happy New Year everyone!

@MrsCillian, I lost weight too over Christmas/New Year. Normally put on about 5-7lb as I can’t resist chocolate and Baileys!

I did the 1mg dose the day before Christmas Eve. The appetite suppression had been much more evident, and I just don’t feel hungry anymore. Downside of that is that I passed out yesterday as I’d not been able to eat breakfast, think my blood sugar and blood pressure must have plummeted ☹️. I’ve done 2 jabs of 1mg and have had absolutely raging gastric reflux, which is affecting my sleep. I was doing really well on the 0.5 so am going back down to that. Even DH has had bad acid so he’s lowering his dose too.

That's really interesting and useful. I'm due to go up to 1mg next week - I've stayed on 0.5 for an extra month as I was still feeling full after eating a smaller portion and generally ok (nausea but manageable). In the the last week I've found myself feeling hungry much more often and not getting that full feeling after my meals - so think I need to move up now.

Hi all. How are you doing?

I’m under 11 stone now so very happy 😊

Wow thats amazing! Congratulations.

Hi everyone, @rainandshine38 Well done! Same here! 10.12 this morning :). I have moved to 1mg which has caused more side effects but I'm coping ok. How are you getting on @jumpingbump ?
