Wegovy March 26 starters

[Wegome26]

Hi I know there is a main March thread for injections but I thought I’d also start a wegovy specific one for us to share our experiences.
I started wegovy on Thursday 5th March I haven’t yet had any side effect nor any suppression. I hope it will kick in soon.
I’m 5 ft 2 and 78 kg

I got approved for some today so waiting for delivery. I don’t want to tell anyone as I’m a personal trainer and feel like I should be able to lose the weight myself. I’m blaming peri menopause but it’s not just that! I only have a teeny tiny dose but I’m ever so nervous! I’m 51, 5’4” and have nearly 2 stone to lose

I started Wegovy mid January and have lost 1.5 stones!! I’ve taken it easy and am going to the gym too to help build muscle.
I started on .25, then .5 and am going to stay on 1mg as that seems to be working for me. The food noise has gone!

after injections with .25 and .5 I did feel sick and tired the following day but haven’t had that yet with the 1mg. Maybe my body is getting used to it.

I find that making myself have 3 properly balanaced meals helps and stops any snacking! I have a decent breakfast - either Greek yoghurt and fruit or sourdough toast and egg then of if I have a small lunch I have a bigger dinner and vice versa. It’s definitely put me off greasy or fatty foods and I don’t fancy cheese they way I used to! Can still eat out, I just fancy healthier options and can stop when I have eaten enough - before I would plough on to finish my plate!!

i do have a £100 voucher code with human if anyone wants it - without the code they are more expensive than other suppliers but obviously cheaper with the code. Just message me if you want it.

good luck, I feel and look so much better already and although I still have a long way to go its amazing the difference a bit of weight loss can do!

Ive just been approved and waiting on my jabs to arrive. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you all!

How is everyone getting on? I took my first jabs yesterday and was up vomiting during the night. Feeling exhausted and achy today. I suffered really bad with vomiting in pregnancy but for some reason I wasnt prepared for this. Hoping it passes 🤢

Hi all. I’m back on W after a very long break and maintaining, but recent rapid gain I suspect is menopause related. I had 10kg to lose, some of which I have tried to do myself, I know I don’t have a lot of weight to lose so pls don’t come at me, but I’m not that tall, plus I already lost a huge amount of weight but didn’t stay on WLI due to side effects so I have struggled and anyway I’m over defending myself but I did not lie to my provider and I got approved so I am not breaking any rules.

I already weight train and run a lot so I am continuing on with that. I struggled with Wegovy side effects very badly last time so I am taking it cautiously but I’ve been awake all night with terrible stomach pains already 2days in! I didn’t last long on 0.5mg for this reason last time so I am aiming to stay on 0.25 as long as I can (until it becomes pointless). It’s not the suppression that stops me eating it’s the stomach issues. I might consider micro dosing but going to see how the next 4 weeks go

Hi Klaap it seems to me that some people probably lose weight quicker due to symptoms. I suppose in a way it works but I'd prefer to lose it more steadily ,without the symptoms! I feel like I'm in the early stages of pregnancy again (horror)

I have just switched from mj. And took my first jab 3 days ago. I have done nothing but poo. And no suppression so far. I do fuller quickly when eating. But that wasn’t my issue my issue was snacking on sweet stuff.

This was me! I lost my weight just due to feeling so gross all the time. MJ is way too expensive to experiment with for me, especially if I just get the same symptoms. My stomach feels like it’s got 7 washing machines on a spin cycle!

Am on the other thread too but just saw this once I thought I'd pop on and say hello.

I tried a couple of years ago for 4 months and after the initial week of thinking everything was going great, I proceeded to not lose any weight after that.

This time around I am calorie counting as well and being mindful of no empty calories. So yes, this has been a very good week for me, but ime will tell.
. Similar to the op I'm 5' 2, and starting weight is 74 kilos. Carry all my weight on my stomach which isn't great for organ health so aiming to lose 2 stone but really could lose 3 and still be midrange healthy BMI still.

Day 6 now and feel ready for my top up tomorrow

Brilliant Reepicheepp, I hope this time round is more successful for you. Thanks for telling us your story. What dose are you currently on?

Starting on .25. as I said, I can feel that I'm ready for a next shot. Not that I'm starving, but I'm having those intrusive food thoughts and wanting to go check out the cupboard and see what snacks I might have. Have been drinking loads of water instead

I got my DH a cream cake in the reduced aisle and it came in a box of 2, but the sight of it turned my stomach. Feel teetering on the edge of stomach pains again but plowing on through drinking water

I started last Friday so next dose is tomorrow 0.25 . No side effects yet except heartburn when I drink my daily can of Coke Zero - I intend to wean myself off it asap. Menopause saw me really putting on a lot of weight and struggling to shift it. I had reasonably healthy meals but my downfall was always wine and sweets /cakes. Not wanted any alcohol since I started the jabs and not fussed about sweets and cakes either . Am making a conscious effort to drink lots of water and eat protein rich foods. Jeans actually feel slightly looser today .

I'm vomiting again tonight. So disappointed. I don't think this will agree with me and I've signed up for a 6 month plan , it doesn't look like I can cancel it. I'm especially worried about the effects of the vomiting on my teeth. I had so many dental issues in pregnancy due to vomiting. Really regretting my decision now. Wish I had tried harder to lose weight naturally.

Good luck to all but a word of caution.

I worked up all the way from 0.25 to 2.4 and can honestly say that it has been a complete waste of time. Barely any appetite suppression and not a single side effect. It is as if I’m taking a placebo.

I’m going to order the new 7.2 dose and give that a go for a month and if that doesn’t work I think I’ll just have to put the whole thing down as an expensive lesson.

I’m sure it works well for some but for others it is a total waste of time.

I am still feeling really icky. The stomach pain is less now but a general yuk. Struggling to eat a full meal. I recall how much this affected me the first time around as a super responder. I had some friends who sailed through MJ without a symptom!

I checked in on my weight and it’s water loss so far, 3lbs

I’m on day two of the wegovy pills and no side effects (perhaps too soon?). I have felt some hunger suppression but not totally noticeable! I have around 10kg to lose :(

@Stickytoffeetartt don't lose heart just yet - I've not had bad side effects but I think some people do and they go away day 3 or 4 of the new dose. But also, I think with Juniper they have a 30 day cooling off period - maybe the other subscribers do to?

I think any seller has to give a cooling off period they can’t trap you into 6 months of something you can’t tolerate so I would talk to them

Hi, can I join the thread? I’m expecting my wegovy delivery today and plan to inject as soon as it arrives. Weekends are harder as I usually eat out and am more tempted to snack so injecting on a Saturday morning seems like the best plan for maximum effect. Someone mentioned to me that it wears off a bit towards the end of the week so ideally I would have injected on a Friday. Does anyone know if I could switch to the Friday (a day early) after a couple of weeks?

I think you should be okay to inject a day early next week based on the fact that the instructions say if you forget a dose, you can take it the following day or day after as long as it's at least 3 days before your next dose. I think. Especially with the starting dose that should be fine but I'm not a doctor or a pharmacist so have a good look at the instructions that'll come with the pen.

What kind of weight loss have people found in the first week? I’ll be weighing myself for the first time next Wednesday! Also intrigued to hear if anyone else is on the pill version?

Hi all, I took my first dose on Thursday night. Felt some suppression yesterday in that I ate small meals and no snacking. Today I woke at 8.30 and I'm just eating now. This is unheard of.
I lost 3 stone on MJ 2 years ago. Kept it off for a year and a half but since September I've put most back on. I responded really quickly to MJ and stopped a bit too soon as I missed my reorder window.
I managed to keep it off by massively reducing UPF but these slowly crept back in. Hoping this will give me a reset. I wanted to do it before all of the weight came back.
Husband and kids can eat whatever they want and never gain weight which isn't great. The temptation is always there!

I’m so constipated already. Really need to tackle this asap
