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?

If you still have the code I would really appreciate it thanks. Debating whether or not to stay on .5 or go up to 1mg next week!

@jocktamsonsbairn of course, PM’d to you directly.

Im on WG since 07 January. To date have steadily lost 9.1kg, which im pretty pleased with. Was teetering on obese, after 7 weeks am firmly in the middle of overweight category, and i hope to get mid-normal range at some point.
Its going well in terms of symptoms, I find it easy enough to stay under 1200 cals, though some days find it hard to get up to 1000. Excercise regime is solid, 1-2 7km runs, 3 weights/circuits classes and 1 pilates class per week. Am on my 3rd 0.5mg dose and am planning on staying on that for next month anyway.

Started on this 3 days ago , terrible headaches and nausea and im only taking 0.25 its put me off taking my next dose if im honest. I feel like shit.
Definitely has suppressed my appetite though I dont really want too eat anything and if I do I take a bite and throw the rest

Similar to you Kirst. First jab I took(0.25) I was really ill for 2 days. Vomiting and diarrhoea. Then the next 3 were ok. Started on 0.50 2 weeks ago and I've been unwell since. Constant nausea and occasional vomiting. It's so strange that it affects people differently. I'm unmotivated now as im sick of feeling awful every day 🤢 Not sure what to do..

So I've been on it 4 months. I'm a slow loser and have lost 1stone 4.

This morning though I was really sick and vomited loads even though I'd not eaten for about 12 hours.

I know wegovy can cause gastroposis (slow stomach emptying) and I think this wàs possibly the cause.

Has anyone else had this side effect? How did you deal with it?

@hellomylov3it seems you've had similar issues.

I was on it for just over 3 months and lost 19lb. I was fine on 0.25 but once I went onto 0.5 I felt absolutely dreadful. Dropped back down to 0.25 for the last bit and was fine. You don't need to move up the doses if you're steadily losing, I didn't realise this and just thought you moved up the doses.

I'm on 1mg nd have been for a while. I'm losing on this dose but I'm concerned about the side effects worsening at a higher dose.

I'm finding my response very variable now. I've been on 1mg for the last two weeks, having had two weeks at .75. Some days I'm full and don't want to eat, others I'm really hungry. It doesn't seem to fall into a pattern.

Last week I lost 2.5lb, which is a lot for me, but I think that was because I had a vegetarian week with lots of pulses. It sems to have speeded up my digestive transit. Side effects have pretty much vanished.

Overall, I've lost 16.5lb at a cost of about £330. That will only be worthwhile if I go on to drop at least another stone and a half. I know I can do the first stone by myself, as I've done it before, more than once. I usually fall of the wagon after that, so this is the month that will tell.
