anyone else joining me as a May 2026 Wegovy start?

Good Morning, first dose last night before bed. I decided to go for the thigh this time. Fingers crossed for less side effects.

I defo felt less hungry yesterday and I have not felt hungry yet this morning (usually wake up hungry!)

I'm on week 9 of Wegovy. I did the 0.25 for 4 weeks, then the 0.5 for 4 weeks and yesterday did my first 1.0.

For the first time, I was sick a couple of times, and my appetite has definitely reduced.

So far I have lost 2.1 kg but I really hope I can lose more. I'm currently 72 kg and my goal weight is 57 kg. I am 4'11" tall / short.

Jab 3 this morning. Main SE for me is feeling cold. Still seem to be eating almost normally though had lunch at 4 yesterday and didn't have anything else before bed.

I’m on day 6 and the suppression is so strong for me. I’m struggling to even eat 1000 calories a day without feeling like I’m going to be sick. I’m really worried about taking the next dose tomorrow. Hoping that it doesn’t make it worse.
other than that no side effects so far other than needing to burp loads

I was doing so well on the second jab on the thigh but last night woke up 4am bad tummy cramps from gas and the need to go toilet. I think it was the Pepsi max I had so I am thinking those are a no well especially that 48 hour window after the jab or it will repeat it. Shame as this 2nd jab from Friday I was feeling fine up until this! I do think I am super sensitive to this and I will need to drink/eat incredibly clean to avoid bad side effects which is fine as it is the purpose but sometimes life also needs to happen!

I'm down to 79.6kg this morning, so officialls in a new bracket. Puts total weight loss to 2.3kg so far, in about 11 days, very happy and finding it easy to stay on track with good food choices. Overall I feel good, just finding appetite is a little bit reduced, and it's very easy for me to have will power to make good choices

@Lovemuesli how are you feeling now? I'm definitely nervous about moving up the doses and getting side effects, so far I've not had any negative effects. Did you feel any at .25 and .5?

CanMayHop · 18/05/2026 19:09

I’m due my second injection today, definitely seemed to be more hungry yesterday & today but have managed to stick to my calorie goals.
I didn’t have scales at home last week but have some now and have lost 3.8kg in 11 days. Monday will be my new official weighing day to try and give me a consistent view of what I’m loosing.

Are most people weighing weekly or do you weigh ever day?

@CanMayHop thats amazing well done! I do weigh every day just for my own info really, but I’m only “recording” it once a week on a Monday

MrsO2b · 18/05/2026 22:38

Sorry @CanMayHop , I didn't mean to post that on your post! X

Day 14 and minimal impact on appetite but slightly easier to resist white carbs, which is the only change I’m making at this point. No real side effects any more. @Lovemueslimy starting and target weights are about the same as yours but you’re a few weeks ahead of me so keen to hear your progress. I’m so impatient to move up to the next dose(still on 0.25 for 2 more jabs)

Second jab yesterday, first weigh-in this morning. 3.5lbs down. I know it's usual to lose more in the first week or 2 of a diet, then it slows down, but I'll take that!

Very minimal side-effects in week one. I was very cold and a bit headachy for the first couple of days, and a bit "bunged up" towards the end of last week, but nothing drastic and completely manageable. I didn't really notice suppression until about the 4th/5th day, but it's there now and I'm finding it fairly easy to resist junk, in fact I don't really fancy anything sweet, which is a miracle as sweet things are my downfall. It was my son's birthday on Saturday and I saved my piece of birthday cake for later because I didn't fancy it. I just threw it away this morning - I totally forgot it was there! What is this witchcraft?!
Excited to see what this week brings and wishing everyone lots of luck. Onwards and downwards 😁
I have a code for £40 off with bolt if anybody needs/wants it. Just PM me. X
