Weygovy April 26 starters

[lechatnoir]

I’ve finally taken the plunge and just ordered Wegovy from Asda pharmacy. All been well it should be ready for collection on Tuesday so it would be great to hear from anyone else who has just started or is about start their WLI/Weygovy journey.
I’m very nervous and haven’t told anyone, but I’ve just failed at my 3rd diet attempt this year and feeling horribly self-conscious about my weight and dreading the summer so just thought fuck it, I’m going to give it a go.

SW 12st 2
TW: 9st 2

I just wasted some of my 3rd dose. Didn't screw needle on properly. Will ensure to watch video again before next week.
Plus had a weekend away. I was less naughty with food and wine than I would have been without the wegovy. So hopefully will get back on track this week

@VividDeer that's too bad about the waste but i'm sure it's a mistake you won't do again.
positive thoughts for a good week

@VividDeer i remember doing something similar with a pen of Mounjaro.

I have lost 2lb this week. I am surprised as I have eaten pretty similar to normal. I have meal prepped the week at work and

Might help?

If anyone wants to try medexpress I have a code giving £50 off whichever one you want to try it's aw240 x

I’m about to do my 4th WG jab (0.25) and thinking about reordering. I haven’t felt like it’s made a huge difference BUT it must be, because I am losing. Week 1 1kg, week 2 nothing and week 3 a surprise 1.5kg so total of 2.5kg so far (have masses to lose, starting BMI 38.5). So… no reason to go up a dose right? I was thinking about doing so because I really haven’t noticed anything yet (other than side effects!) but I’m losing plenty fast enough so I should do another month (at least) on 0.25 - right??! Feeling a bit unsure.

@WatermelonYummyim in exactly the same position keep swaying between staying on 0.25 and going to 0.5 and need to get it ordered. Im leaning towards staying on 0.25 for the same reasons. I am losing, minimal side effects and I’ll save a bit of money. Day 8 today and still feeling the effects of last jab

I definitely wouldn't increase if it's working and you're losing BUT accept you don't know how it will be in another week or 2 so you could end up having to reorder sooner which would cost more in the long run.

I'm just about to reorder once I've decided whether to stick with Voy or case the discounts (can you do this every month - thinking eventually I'll either be turned down or run out of offers?) and going up to 0.5mg as not seeing any impact here - 2lb loss in a month which frankly can see by going to the loo and no appetite suppression or loss of interest in food generally which is very annoying as my 'how long to lose 2 stone' plan has gone right out the window!

@lechatnoirim going to shop around till I run out of offers. Medexpress would not prescribe to me last month and despite numerous messages back and forth I’m still none the wiser why. I’ve tried again this month and looks to be fine - they were the cheapest on the comparison site

Trying to decide what to do with ordering. Medexpress will only accept discount code one. Think I'll decide next week but probably stick at this dose.

I'm 2lbs down this week (and had a large amount of wine at a wedding) and feeling hungrier today. Jab day tomorrow, just need to be strict with myself this evening.

@DreamingOfGeneHunt great to see the scales going down, well done!
I’ve checked today and down 1 pound since Friday so hoping for 2 pounds for the full week and that’ll be my first stone gone (forever please god) I think I’ll stick with 0.25 but are we better to just order the 0.5 as we can increase if needed by week 7/8 etc..? Anyone done this ?

I’m with lotus - they are reasonably priced but not the cheapest. Do you think it would be easy to switch to medicine marketplace and go up to 0.5?

What's the deal with taking 0.25with a 0.5ml pen? Is it click counting?

@VividDeer yeah seems to just be click counting, I might look back on March or Feb starters thread and see if anyone did this. At least that way if need to move up even to 3.5/4 we can and we prob get an extra week or 2 out of it too. Win win

I’ve bitten the bullet and ordered another month of 0.25. Working my way through this list for the best deals for first month https://igovy.co.uk/wegovy-price-comparison-uk/

@JumpingJacks11 yes I'll have a look too. Be good to save some money. Although after messing up injection this week, maybe i need more practice first 😅

I saw a 9 (stone) on scale today. First time in 2 yearsm yippee. I'm very short so target is 8.9.

I was ravenous last night and ended up eating some digestives and a Flake. Oops. However, hugely better than my usual evening feeding frenzy pre-jab, and I'm not going to get hung up on it.

@DreamingOfGeneHunt I had wine. Brownies, Eaton mess at weekend. Learnt lesson as felt sick 😫 but its the majority that matters. And having mostly good days

Thought I'd share my progress graph since January start. Red circle is when I started WLI. Shoes how its very much non linear progress

@JumpingJacks11 my research (only on mumsnet) has found "As you turn the end of the pen the dashes that pass through the window have the 0.25 dosage marked by a slightly shorter dash.
If you miss it by turning the end of the pen too far you can turn it back again."

Another user suggested its 19 clicks, but to check on own pen

@VividDeer oh that’s good to know, thanks. so we can click it to 0.5 counting the clicks and then turn it back half way or 3/4’s of the way etc..

Little victory this morning- a dress that was too tight two weeks ago fits comfortably!

I'm about 1/2 stone down now, 3 jabs done (one incorrectly).
Just ordered the 0.5 pen but going to stick with 0.25 as long as I can.
Just need to work out how to hide pen in fridge. Was a bit easier hiding in wardrobe! But as I won't be using the next one as quickly, I am going to have to chill it. I'm sure noone apart from me goes into veg draw.

I imagine my dh would be upset I haven't told him. But I didnt want to tell anyone. He did say how well I was doing with portion control so I felt a bit guilty. Maybe its time to confess. He's not overweight and doesn't need injections, but is medical and likely to have an opinion and probably annoy me with them.

@VividDeer haven’t told my family either I have my WLI hidden in a dark cupboard. I did third jab yesterday, only 2lbs down and a bit fed up. As I said up thread, I don’t really snack or have ‘food noise’ so I haven’t noticed any change really.

I think I’ve grown steadily bigger over the last ten years because I eat the same sized meals as the rest of my family… and I clearly don’t need to. I am still more or less eating a normal amount at mealtimes, maybe 80% but not enough for much weight loss. So it isn’t working well for me yet.
