Wegovy how's your journey

[Marypoppins007007]

Hi, I am due to take my third dose of 0.25mg in 2 days. My starting weight was 11stone 11. I weighed myself today I a was 11.7.
Its odd because over the week my weight has been going up and down slightly.

I haven't had any side effects apart from a horrible headache the day after taking my first dose. I don't fancy eating much, although I do head to the fridge, have a look in it and close it, perhaps its habit.

Worried i am not eating enough protien, I am not a meat person, only tend to eat chicken, eggs.

How are your journeys going?

Have been on it for about 18m and lost steadily at just under 1kg a month. Am on the maximum dose, but haven’t lost anything for months now (even put on a kilo recently!). I’m just on the cusp of a healthy bmi so have been pushed into overweight again.

1mg will prob be a better equivalent dose for you. Keep going!

I’ve just done my last dose of 0.25. Haven’t been weighing myself because think I’m really constipated and bloated. Side effects minimal compared to Mounjaro which made me really ill.

@xxxwd that's interesting that you're also not getting side effects like on MJ.

Had my 2nd dose now - feels like I might as well be injecting water. Looking forward to moving up doses

Had my 3rd dose now and same as MJ vomited and have had diarrhoea since 5.30am.

Sadly I don't think these drugs are for me. I don't even know if I'll finish the pen.

Hope it's going better for others, but I'm bowing out now.

Sorry to hear that. I start 0.5mg on Friday. I've been fine on 0.25mg just a headache.

Are you drinking plenty of water x

Thank you! I’m praying 1mg will do the trick. Scales not moved at all. Appetite remains the same. I even took the 0.25mg bonus dose mid week to top up my 0.5mg. If the 1mg doesn’t work I’m going ask to move to MJ, and accept the higher cost. I know these jabs work, so I’m disappointed.

@BerfyTigot so sorry to hear it’s impacting you so badly. I was the same with MJ at first, couldn’t even look at food. It does pass but it wiped me out so I sympathise.

I'm feeling the same @Soulstirring, very frustrated and going on to 1.7mg next, which is expensive enough for something that doesn't work..!

I’m due to start 0.5 today, but eaten badly all day and now feel sick and too hot. This was how MJ used to make me feel but first time ever on Wegovy. Will wait and start tomorrow night after a better day of eating.

I’ve actually taken another 0.5mg and today I feel suppression so maybe the 1mg will be the one for me. I truly have been so dismayed at the cost and no effects @Wishfulshrinker25

I have to say though I haven’t wanted alcohol this week at all. This has been my vice since stopping MJ, a glass or two of wine that leads to chocolate. Double the calorie hit.

it’s a nice feeling, not hungry, snacky but open to eating a reasonable meal. Jacket potato with cheese and tuna for dinner. On MJ I couldn’t eat more than a few mouthfuls at first.

Huge suppression yesterday/today! Thank goodness!

Just started 1mg this week and feeling good so far, I’m hopeful that I can stick at this strength. I already have another on order and then I’m away for most of the next month so will probably stick at 1mg for that and then see.
I have a code for £100 off Numan if that’s any good to anyone, i think that brings it down to about £70 for 1mg.

I’ve had three dowse so far and have lost over half a stone. Unfortunately that’s due to me having terrible vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pains for a week. Thankfully my symptoms have now massively subsided.

I’d already noticed a reduction in appetite and food noise before the symptoms began.

I started almost 2 weeks ago. I’ve lost 5lbs since then. I’m on 0.25.

it’s really put a dampener on my appetite. In fact sometimes I’ll come home from work and not fancy any dinner, but I’ve only had say 800-900 calories and I’m aiming at 1500. I don’t want to go too low so force myself to eat something.

yesterday we went for a pub Sunday roast (apart from a bowl of fruit & fibre it was all I ate yesterday). I couldn’t finish it. Also in that situation I would normally have a glass of wine (or 2!) but I just didn’t fancy it and just had Diet Coke. Has anyone else gone off alcohol?

in the first week I had some mild gut issues and some nausea on one day but otherwise none.

i Started beginning of December on 0.25mg had no side effects but noticed I wasn’t looking for food, lost 2.4kg in first 4 weeks, moved up to 0.5mg and had a few side effects such as nausea & headache still not wanting really much food & getting full quick lost 3kg within the 4 weeks on the 0.5mg so total loss 5.4kg in 8 weeks. I have stayed on the 0.5mg for another 4 weeks, I’ve still got the nausea side effects such for the first 2 days of taking the injection but ive also got the side effect of sulfer burps (burbs smell like rotten eggs) anyone else having this side effect?

I started Feb 2025 on M, then switched in November to W. Stalled for 5 weeks, but have lost 13lbs since the start of the year. Total loss 3st 11 so not a huge amount, but no saggy skin!

Hi all- have also been waiting for a solely wegovy thread. Just taken fourth dose of 0.25 and like a pp said I may as well be injecting water! Nothing at all, no weight loss nothing! Looking forward to going up a dose.

@Peachypips78have you lost any weight on 0.25?

@BG2015absolutely nothing!

No major side effects compared to MJ, but I’m in a serious plateau at the moment and haven’t lost anything in about 2 months.

I switched back to mounjaro on 11th Feb after 3 months on 1.7mg wegovy due to the last few weeks on it of increased inflammation, bloating, bad IBS symptoms incl pain and cramps, leg and hips muscle pain, irritability, carb and junk food cravings, gained 3lbs. it worked wonderfully for the first 2 months then suppression and satiety went, food noise returned and the symptoms above. I was on 1.7mg, previously 10mg went back to 5mg initially for 1 dose as advised by prescriber, then 7.5mg just last sunday. within 3 days all symptoms gone and lost 2.5lbs in 2 days now at my slimmest weight again and belly is flat too. I was prediabetic and had pretty bad IBS pre-mj so I think I need mj long term for now at least.

I'm now up to 0.5 mgs, have been on the injections for about 5-6 weeks now. I dropped 7 lbs but I seem to have stuck at this for the past 10 days. I've been tracking my cals on MFP and staying within 1500. Often it's about 1300 but if my cals come in below I don't eat any more in case I've under calculated.

I'm not really having any side effects.

The food noise has diminished but my appetite is returning though less.

I'll keep on it but slightly disappointed that I seem to have stalled.

I’ve been on wegovy since August
lost 10 lbs in first 2 weeks then it’s been a pound every few weeks
now lost almost 2 stone which I am happy with and it’s been gradual too- I’m on 1mg since November and still seeing a loss with it so I’m sticking on it for now.
first 5 weeks had some terrible insomnia- like I was wired. Then that stopped
apart form that constipation is my biggest side effect- I’m twice a week 😣
also a bit light headed at times
my appetite does not seem massively less compared to what you hear about my but it’s definitely working for me so far

So three days now on new dose of 0.5. I think I might be one of those people who need higher doses. Have noticed a slight difference this time in that I’m not so desperate to eat all the time. I can exert willpower which I normally can’t at all!
Ive lost nothing in the month I’ve been on wegovy so now I’m going to start tracking cals. Don’t want to do this as it’s not that good for me mentally, but I need to stop this weight!

I started days before Xmas on 0.25mg, I was 12stone. Im now 11.3. Im not calorie tracking. I do feel off food. I have been naughty on occasions with chocolate biscuits. I have 1 shot left of 1mg and will go up to 1.7mg. But I won't be buying anymore after this as its expensive. Ideally I'd like to be 10.5 stone. My trousers do feel less tight.

Right now im hungry, but can't be bothered to eat and dont feel like it anyway. Usually I'd stuff my face with something 🤣
