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

@Katkincake well done, I really couldn’t believe how straight forward it all was. Great to have it done now.
eating wise I’d 2/3 spoonfuls of my overnight oats this morning and just wasn’t interested but like u say @BreakingBroken i know I need to eat so had a banana about an hr later.
had a slim bagel with turkey for lunch
Chicken fillet and noodles for dinner (but a quarter of the portion I’d usually have)
had a few mints today
I run/ do weights classes most days so I know I still need a certain level of calories going in, I’m finding that tricky as I especially love running so don’t want to have to give that up.
I meant to weigh today but just had a busy day and forgot, must do it tomorrow to get an idea ahead of Thursday.

@RaelImperialAerosolKid that’s great about the curry, I love a curry but a bit nervous to try it. Are u taking the 5th dose in ur pen before starting the second one?

A day after my third jab I have had horrendous d&v…feeling a bit better today but was surprised as I’d not had a big response up until then.

Now worried about the 0.5 jab I’ve ordered - if I’d had this earlier I would have stuck to 0.25 for longer.

I am going to look into counting clicks for the next jab cos I can’t go through that again it was truly horrible :-(

Do you think it was def jab releated (I mean it absolutely could especially as it was the day after). I just wonder as I had a dnv bug friday, I wondered if it was a side effect until my dd and dh also got!

I am 10 days in and 6lbs down. I can't believe it. I've never ever lost weight like this, it has always been a slog 0.5-1lb a week. Im loosely following fast 800 alongside with more calories (i.e. three meals not the intermittent fasting and the extra cals of the 3rd meal). Good protein with lots of veggies for fiber. I think long term for me thats how I need to eat. Cut the processed carbs.

Morning all. Had a bit of heartburn last night but that’s a regular thing for me, so haven’t put it down to 1st jab.

when did your appetites start to reduce?

Mine was actually there this morning when I don’t normally eat till lunchtime with maybe a small snack at 11. Already had an apple and a protein yogurt drink this morning!

written down a load of high protein / veg recipes to try, the one thing I want to get out of this is more variety in meals and better ratio of protein veg and carbs than we had before. We slid into high carb / easy cook meals which were determined to change.

Starting tomorrow - lost four and a half stone on Mounjaro but have gained half a stone in a year off and the food noise is back and exacerbated by steroids currently so need to take some preemptive action before gains increase. Trying wegovy due to the price difference , have recently retired due to health and I’m hoping to get decent results with this different medication.

Day 3 and no appetite at all! I'm having to make sure i eat!
Scales dropping fast.

Birthday party weekend was actually relatively restrained though a couple of busy days at work have been a bit chaotic and eating the wrong things so not feeling on top of this this week.

Did 2nd jab on Sunday evening and there's definitely some suppression but hoping wfh the rest of the week (thanks tfl 🙄) will help me eat better foods to get the most energy from lower calories. Hoping this week that I won't have gained this week with these few duff days.

@HRTnewbie am hoping it’s a bug but no one else in my family has had it yet (which is a good thing!).

I am still wiped out today but managing to eat a little. The good news is I have accelerated the weight loss, if rather painfully 😂

@VividDeer that’s great, it’s a great feeling!

I remembered to weight today… 5 days in and I’m 8 pounds down!!!!! I cannot believe it, now I do feel like a lot of that is hormonal inflammation/ bloating but I have not been able to shift a pound for the last yr- no matter how little I ate and how much I ran & went to the gym so I am so over the moon to finally see a drop!

SW 185
CW 177
TW 145 but bmi says I should be around 120 (we’ll see when I get to 145 🙏🏽)

Very exciting times @JumpingJacks11 !
SW 186.6
CW 182.2
TW 140 and to maintain 140!!! at 5'3" this has been a long time goal only seen a few times since after the children were born.
Although 120 is in the healthy zone for my height, I don't want to go that low.

I've very pleased with the lack of hunger, I simply feel comfortable and focus on my food choices and moving more.
I'm looking forward to being in the 170's and may hold off on the second injection to Friday or Sat if i continue to feel this level of comfort.

@BreakingBroken we are pretty much exact same, I’m 5’ 4 and like that I just feel 120 would not suit me. Until last yr I was always around 145-150 and felt happy at that. I hit perimenopause and literally 40 pounds crept on over the last yr 3-4 pounds a month no matter what I did.
amazing what hormones can do to ur body!!

Well done @JumpingJacks11 that’s fantastic, you must be thrilled.

Feeling quite proud of my food choices today, I made an egg and cottage cheese bake thing with veg in a tortilla wrap and had a wrap and cream cheese with salad for dinner. Could still eat something so using willpower for now.

what are you all doing to develop new habits and eat better foods? I’m not really worried about calories for now, more focussed on eating more protein and veg.

@Katkincake i eat very healthy just too much. i'm older and sedentary (more so than usual) and usually sit around 150-155. then yo-yo down to 140 then up then down then really really up this time around.

Yes portion sizes are a bane aren’t they. I am not happy with the reducing calories we get to maintain as we get older. I worked out my TDEE score once and it was depressing.

To be honest I’d be happy to stay just into the overweight category rather than reduce so much daily calories to stay in healthy weight range. BMI is currently 31, so just into obese category.

It really is depressing how little we can eat and how careful we need to be!

Its a good idea to put some data into this thread for me fo remember exactly where I start from.
Starting: 12 stone 10 bmi 30
Current: 12 stone 3 BMI 28.5
Goal: 10 stone

What's really annoying me is that my tdee is decreasing as I lose weight. Almost 100 cols less than when I started in jan

Wow @JumpingJacks11 that is amazing you must be thrilled.

Unfortunately I’m in the less thrilled camp as 2nd jab last night and still NOTHING and I also lost a little bit by pressing the button by mistake before injecting (Voy said it will be minimal as I had only turned the dial once but still, it’s such a small dose that is t affecting me so annoying to lose some). Not much I can do but just hope it kicks in at some point.

how disheartening @lechatnoirhopefylly the next few doses will be different or you’ll react well to 0.5. I feel a bit unwell today I’m not sure Spag Bol is the best choice for me. Hoping to feel less hungry tonight on my first night this week 🤞

@lechatnoir its very subtle almost imperceptible for me.
I’m simply not hungry not in a sick kind of way, more like being in between meals. The thing is, based on routine, I’m sure I could eat all 3 full meals plus a snack IF need be. But I’m using the content feeling to go out of my way to eat smaller portion size.
But the contented feeling is faint, last night home alone watching TV, I was bored and wanted to deal with that by nibbling. But I focused on my stomach, had zero hunger and decided on water and an early bedtime.

@lechatnoir thats so annoying to lose a bit, hopefully it was only a tiny bit of it and most of it went in. Have u no suppression at all yet?

I never thought id be in this position but down another pound today so 9 pounds in 6 days, I still have a lot of suppression, could only eat half of bf and lunch, managed a bit more at dinner but spaced bites out over an hour so I’m getting something into me. I think I might wait until Friday or Saturday to do second injection as I’ve read by day 6 u should be much more hungry. I obviously want to lose the weight but kinda thought it would be 1-2 pounds a week, losing this much in a week kinda freaks me out. Anyone else wait until 8 or 9 days between injections?

@JumpingJacks11 so far i'm content and will definately spread to friday and see from there if i can spread to saturday.

Please can I join.

Finally got round to ordering it. Will be delivered tomorrow. I’m a social worker so no options to work from home sadly, I’m little worried about side effects. Is it best to inject Friday after work? Thanks all ☺️. Wish us all luck

@JumpingJacks11 i went 8 days last week and would definitely do it again. Still felt some supression on the 8th day and didn’t jab until late afternoon. I’m happy to lose slow and save some money too.

@ThatAgileMintBiscuit I did mine a good few days before back in work as I was worried about side effects too but so far so good 😊

@ThatAgileMintBiscuit I started just last thursday and had zero gastric type side effects. just some appetite satiety, very mild suppression more like extra will power.

I think i might try and stretch doses. I'm away next weekend so makes sense to add a day. In the summer I have a 9 day holiday and don't plan to take pen.
At the moment I have enough suppression.
I'm having to make up reasons why I am not eating much as not told a soul.
