Constantly thirsty since starting Wegovy: is this normal?

Hi everyone,
I started on shemed about a week ago (just the starting dose), and I’ve noticed I’m really thirsty all the time. Like, I can’t seem to drink enough water no matter what I do. My mouth feels dry even when I’m sipping all day.
I was expecting the nausea and maybe a bit of tiredness, but I haven’t really seen anyone mention thirst as a side effect. I’m not feeling unwell otherwise, just constantly reaching for my water bottle!
Has anyone else had this? Does it settle after a bit? I’m wondering if it’s just my body adjusting or if I should mention it to my GP.
Thanks in advance, would love to know if this is just me!

How much are you drinking in a day?

I drink about 3 LTRs a day and am thirsty all the time! I don't think it's unusual 😕
