hi, I thought I would start a new group. I am waiting for my medical review before being issued with my first dose

@HolyMoly24 @ShebaQueen not too bad so far. I do Reformer Pilates twice last week and two short gym sessions plus a walk on the one sunny day! I just need to keep it up which I know I’ll struggle with. Going to the gym later to try and start the week right!

I’m also slightly worried that I messed up my second injection, there was some liquid pooled around the needle while I was doing it so it’s like not all of the liquid went into my body…

As far as I understand, as long as it wasn’t running down your skin that can happen from time to time so don’t worry too much

BellaBlister · 09/03/2026 10:42

Can I join please? Did my first wegovy jab yesterday morning. I wasn't nervous about the jabs having had lots of ivf treatment so used to injecting. I sort of felt different an hour or so after, then a few hours later I threw up. Couldn't manage to eat until the evening. I was sick again this morning and feel very nauseous. Hopefully this won't last, trying to keep my water intake up. I've got 2 stone to lose.

Day 3 here going well, no side effects so feel very lucky, suppression is good still able to eat but smaller portions, it feels weird to not feel hungry

fantom · 09/03/2026 14:14

I took my first dose of Wegovy 0.25 last night. No side effects so far, unsure if I can feel any suppression. I’ve 2 stone to lose.

Weigh in day for me today. I’ve lost 7lbs🎉 I realise the first week is usually water retention loss (oh the irony with the amount of water I drink) but I am pleased as I’m now below 13 stone 🎉

That's amazing! Well done 🤗🎉🎉

HolyMoly24 · 09/03/2026 14:51

Does anyone have any ‘go to’ meals they could share? I’m stuck a rut with cooking just eating the same old things all the time.

Asgoodas · 09/03/2026 15:22

I have just followed a recipe by whatinthechef(Facebook) for something called Banging Salad, and OMG! Totally delicious and will do me for around three meals.
I’m on my second dose and struggling with both appetite and cramping 😱 but this has saved me.
Greek yogurt with pear for breakfast, but I will try the overnight oats I have downloaded and let you know.
Facebook has plenty of chefs doing high protein dinners, but can be time consuming to find them.

That's amazing! Well done 🤗🎉🎉

Thank you @ThatMerryFox- been to the Drs today and my blood pressure has reduced massively, considering it’s only been a week!

fantom · 09/03/2026 18:02

Just eaten some scrambled eggs and it’s made me feel a bit sick. Also feeling quite tired. This is 24 hours after first dose.

Wegome26 · 09/03/2026 18:34

Well done everyone on your losses
I’m 4 days post first injection 0.25 not yet getting any suppression. Hopefully it will kick in a bit next week.

Keep on keeping on @Wegome26, hopefully you'll feel the impact soon

That’s amazing. I need to get mine down too - fingers crossed for that happy result. I will take some readings when I do my weekly weigh in. I assumed it wouldn’t go down until I had lost a chunk of weight. A real NSV for you there - congrats!

helloworld88 · 09/03/2026 22:17

Had my second jab last night but not overly confident I did it right. Haven’t had any side effects this time so dno if it’s due to body being used to it or I did in fact do it wrong!
lost 6 pounds last week though 👍🏻
on holiday at the moment but still trying to be mindful!

DramaDivaDi · 10/03/2026 08:31

One week in and 3 lbs lost. Feeling rather disappointed.

How much do you think you would have lost without the jab?
I suspect I won't lose quickly but at least the trend is down.

DramaDivaDi · 10/03/2026 08:47

Previously I’ve shifted a equivalent amounts of weight. I’m hoping the difference here will be consistency.

SmallTreeDeepRoots · 10/03/2026 09:13

@DramaDivaDi It sounds like a result to me! And consistency is a great thing to aim for. Are you on the starter dose? How are you feeling?

DramaDivaDi · 10/03/2026 10:11

On the starter dose. Feeling no less hungry than usual but very very tired.

Greycatclub · 10/03/2026 12:08

i can get very tired too. Keep you liquids up, take electrolytes and focus on protein intake

LostTheGoodScissors · 10/03/2026 14:09

I’m on day 2 of Wegovy. I definitely feel less of an urge to eat. I’ve have a small bowl of veg soup and some shredded wheat so far today and I had to remind myself to eat which doesn’t normally happen. No side effects yet. Fingers crossed it stays this way.

taratill · 10/03/2026 14:31

Can I join?

I've had the injection sitting in my fridge since Saturday and have injected for the first time this morning.

I have around 4.5 stone to lose.

I get heartburn and digestive issues already so I'm a bit worried these might get worse, fingers crossed!

Beehivebabe · 10/03/2026 14:38

Day 6 here and after 5 days of not being bothered by food and getting full really quickly, I feel hungry and have a bigger appetite today so can’t wait to do Jab 2 tomorrow!

How long did this last for you?

How long did this last for you?

Week 1 was worse, end of week 2 now and it’s not been too bad
