Anyone starting Wegovy in June ?

[LoSlo3toGo]

I did my first jab on 27 May and am 3.5 pounds down … would love to chat if anyone else is starting around now

@blibblibs- that’s annoying! Did you hold the pen in?

Jab day for me- I have counted out 0.4 from my new 0.5 pen and added the last 10 clicks from my 0.25 pen to go up to 0.42mg this week

I’ve been a lot hungrier this last week so I’m hoping that upping the dose will help me see some results - tried an interim dose as the ‘digestion slowing’ effects a couple of weeks ago weren’t much fun

@LoSlo3toGo just pressed it a bit to early cause I'm an idiot 😁
I was thinking about you going up the dose slowly and wondered about the needle, I only get 4 with my pen so how do you make it last 6 weeks?
Suppression was great the first week but not the second so I think I'm going to have to go up with the next pen but not sure I want to double the dose due to the same digestion issues

Hi @blibblibs

this is exactly where I’m at - wanted to increase the dose but not totally double because of ‘digestion’

I bought extra needle tips from Amazon, posting a pic but they are KP Pharma Easydrip

Brand: KP Pharma
Easydrip Classic Pen Attachment 32G x 4mm – Pack of 100 | Silicone Coated Individually Sealed Clean Attachment | Compatible with Most Pens | Latex-Free Pen Attachment

And here is the pic

First weigh and I’m 3 pounds down so I’m very happy with that. Done my second jab so we’ll see if it continues with the suppression I suppose!

That’s great @Choice4567!

Thanks! I’m feeling slightly nauseous today which I didn’t last week. But that may just be the heat - maybe I’m not drinking enough

Hello! First jab yesterday. I have around 20kg/3st to lose.

I didn’t feel much of an effect yesterday except in the evening it felt like my evening meal sat in my stomach for a long time.

Today, again, didn’t feel much appetite suppression. But was able to move on and not think about it again when I felt hungry.

The biggest thing I can’t stop thinking about is, why didn’t I do this ages ago.

Welcome @TerrorAustralis the effects build up gradually so you may find you have more appetite suppression as time goes on.

I hope so! It’s funny, I kind of expected to feel something straight away. But realistically it’s going to take time to build up.

Hi everyone I’m still here - 3rd jab tonight, weigh in shows I’m 1.6 kg down on last week (that’s about 3.5 lbs) so I’m v happy with that. Just under 4kg already, I’m hoping for a steady 1kg per week to take me to goal (and then I’ll take a maintenance dose). I had summer parties and cake bakes this week it felt amazing to be more or less indifferent to all the deliciousness. I have never in my life been able to stop at half a small slice of lemon drizzle, it felt like a revelation!

Hello @WoIsMe: great results there for your first weeks

So, I lost 5 pounds pretty effortlessly in month 1 (combo of healthy eating and not being as interested in snacking/sweet stuff)

My interim jab of 0.42 yesterday seems to be having the effect I want without the ‘slowing’ issues I had in first couple of weeks (which was my reason for stepping the dose, as well as wanting to not waste the little left in my old 0.25mg pen)

I expect I can go to 0.5 next week with no issue and plan to stay there as long as I am losing some weight, although I might be buying a 1mg pen next month to make it cheaper ..

Off on holiday today for a week - so there will be some eating out, but feeling that I will have a level of control

That’s excellent, well done on the loss @LoSlo3toGo. And a sensible plan for holiday.

My second jab had brought the suppression back so I’m happy. I suppose I need to leave it until after my 3rd jab to decide whether to increase or not next time

Good to hear everyone is coping well with minimal side effects.
Fourth jab this morning, another 2lb down, probably due to working in the heat ( health professional) and litres of water! Delivery of 0.5mg pen due this week.
Constipation hits mon/ tues, incorporating ispaghula husk sun/ mon which works a treat.

Well done @JoyousAsOtters sounds good

I've lost another 2lb this week with minimal pain. Still having to make healthy choices but also having a bit of this and that - cake from a colleague and the odd sweet drink in the heat. Sometimes I wonder if it's having any effect as I still feel fully "human", get hungry etc, but not in the same way as before. I go ages without agonising about the next junk food I can get my hands on. Counting the hours till my next break at work. It's just feeling normal. I love it.

Hi
A few people have mentioned counting clicks. Am I right in thinking that each click is 0.05?

It’s my weigh-in day today - 6 weeks in and 7 lb down! 🥳

What’s an interim jab?

So I’ve done my 2nd jab and lost 2 pounds at my first weigh in. I’ve felt pretty nauseous for a lot of the week and had sugar cravings start to come back after 5 days.

That's a great start @StarCourt ! Do you feel you're happy to continue? Nausea is a tricky one - I absolutely hate feeling sick and so far only felt it after the first jab. I've got jab number 4 tomorrow.

@StarCourt- well done on the weight loss, although the nausea doesn’t sound so great :(

interim jab - I did an interim level dose (between (0.25 and 0.5) this week to ease up to the 0.5 next week

@Frieda86: ive been using this site to count the clicks
