Wegovy after MJ

6 replies

Mich57 · 06/10/2025 10:28

Good morning 🌞

I'm currently on 5mg of MJ and am due to take my first .50mg wegovy jab this week.

I was fairly happy on MJ and like so many others, increased costs made me decide to swop. I'm 14lbs away from target after a loss of 2.5st.

Bit worried as hubby has had three weeks on the .25mg wegovy and he's not really experienced the same suppression as I did on 2.5mg MJ. He'll go up to .50mg next week and I'm hoping it has more of an effect!

Can I have some of your success stories please 🙏🏼 I find them inspirational and it helps me to know you are out there..... 🥰

Please don't flood this with cheq.up discount emails 😖😂.

Thank you 😊

Unfortunately I haven't had a good result changing to WG. I have finished my first. 25 pen this week and have gained 3lbs since I started on 15th Sept. Found it more difficult to be motivated and stick to my goals. Have got a .5 pen to start next Sunday,hoping it's just the dose thats not quite right. I maybe should have started on .5 as I had been on 2.5 mj

I had lost 13lbs on my first 2.5 mounjaro pen.

Im not ready to throw the towel in, have got back on board logging everything on nutracheck (hardly logged anything last week)

Good luck with the change

Oh dear 🫣 let's hope .50 gives better results!
How has it been with side affects?

13lbs is a fantastic loss on one pen 👊🏼

Im definitely going up with next pen!! I wanted to start on 1mg as was ready to scale up to 7.5mg MJ but 🤷🏼‍♀️. I'm not bothered about weight loss slowing but definitely don't want to put weight on BUT if that's what happens then it happens.... It will come off eventually as our bodies adjust 🙏🏼

Keep us updated and good luck!

I’m on 1.7mg of wegovy (month 2) and my appetite is through the roof! I’ve out on 4kg now in 5wks and I’m so annoyed with myself. I’m craving carbs and sugar and just constantly hungry. Hopefully it will get better, but I had switched from wegovy to Mj last year as I didn’t feel it was doing very much, just can’t really get the supply of Mj anymore and the cost is very high. I will persevere!

Oh Breli...I'm getting nervous now 😖 I've just ordered some berberine after seeing it made a difference and wondering wether to double dose on the .50mg for 2 weeks then request the 1mg!!! 🙏🏼

Going to persevere though! Good luck br good to see how we get on with it longer term
