Wegovy newbie

Hi!
I hope it is ok to post, I know there are many similar.
I have never had WLI before but started Wegovy yesterday evening (0.25). I feel absolutely no different, no side effects, no reduction in appetite? I know it’s very early and it probably needs to build up but it is feeling very anti-climatic! Can anyone shed any light on/ reassurance on the Wegovy journey?!

Thank you!

Hey, how’s everyone getting on?
I started on 0.5mg this week and I honestly don’t feel any different! No real side effects but I don’t feel like the appetite suppression has increased either, it’s still very mild and taking a lot of will power to keep calorie counting each day.
How’s everyone else doing?

Today was my last jab on 0.25, I go upto 0.5 next week. I'm down 5.5lbs which I'm really happy with!

Down 12 lbs so far, going to order and
stay on 0.25 mg for the third pen as it’s working!

What is with all these posts from random new posters wittering on about the support they’ve got? Seems like AI generated crap to me.

Anyone dealing with occasional sulpher burps?

I felt exactly the same when I started Wegovy 😅 The first week felt really anti-climatic, then the appetite changes gradually kicked in. I’m doing it through a medically supervised programme with proper checks which made me feel safer, and it’s actually been a really affordable way to lose weight steadily.
