Has anyone else pre-ordered Wegovy pills?

[CoffeeBooksRats]

Got mine on preorder…. I’m excited and a little apprehensive… have two stone to lose.

@bananaobama, same for me! The 1.5mg did definitely make me eat less at the beginning, but now I don't really feel the effects - I had a few days of being incredibly tired too. I've lost 2lb over 3 weeks which isn't spectacular; we were away on holiday for about half of that eating out a lot, but I did make better choices and did a lot of exercise, so was really hoping for a better loss.

@user1468915974 I'm shopping around at the moment too, I'd prefer to move up to 4mg which is £119 with Bolt (my subscription rate) but looking into it, I could buy it for around £80 elsewhere. My theory is that I could swap every month to take advantage of the new, cheaper rates, and then hope that it'll be cheaper in general by the time I run out of suppliers

Juniper have offered me the Wegovy 4mg pill for £89 (1st month) whereas Bolt aren't budging from £119. I'd rather stay with Bolt as it's less hassle but there are savings to be made if you shop around!

Well having eaten like a horse all day, I made a last second switch to the 9mg. It's costing me a small fortune on Voy £209! So anywhere has to be cheaper in my case 😳

This is the first day that I have felt hungry on the 4mg. I debated changing to 9mg today, but am going to stay on it for another month. Hope I’m not making a mistake!

I'll be interested to see how you get on florabella. I think I panicked. As I literally felt nothing on 1.5 after about 7 days, and I could just see me going the same way with 4. I thought I'd not eaten much on hols, but clearly I had. And yesterday I was rummaging in every cupboard. And mostly coming up empty handed until I ate a whole bar of dark chocolate (so many people say they can only eat a couple of squares of dark choc - turns out I'm not one of them!)

Hi all, feeling a bit disappointed with my loss this month after staying on the 1.5mg. I have just ordered the 4 and am hoping for great things!

Did anyone have any side effects when moving up? I was lucky with the previous dose but a bit anxious now....

Same! Apart from feeling a bit fuller after a meal on 4mg I seem to be able to eat everything in sight when the mood takes me. Have got 9mg ready to take tomorrow morning - feel a bit nervous of the side effects I might get but I'm wasting my time and money on 4mg.

It's really easy to shop around for a cheaper deal. I started on 1mg with Super drug, went to Bolt for 4mg and will go to Zava next for the 9mg.

I've paused my Bolt subscription @Henowner and am currently shopping around for 4mg; they did offer me £5 off but I'm sure I can get a better deal!

I've just found this link which lists all the prices: https://medeazy.co.uk/pages/wegovy-pill-pricing?srsltid=AfmBOooosl6uxjQ3eMrjOvd6PNuLJXFYvTO2UpIREG9eX4DeiInkmfOW

Can't testify to the accuracy but I'm off to Oushk next.

I’ve just started my 4mg today - 10 days early as the second month of 1.5 has been rubbish - I’ve been rubbish!! Hoping for more focus 😬😬

I've finally succumbed and ordered my first lot. It should be coming soon as I was approved last night. I am hoping to reduce my weight but my main push is for pain relief from my auto immune conditions. I've been reading good things so fingers crossed!

I’m coming to the end of my first month on 4mg. My portion size is better, I feel quite unwell if I try to eat more than I should, and I’m not snacking. I find I am craving sweet stuff more than I used to do but it’s only really translating into having a bit of honey with my plain yogurt or a couple of squares of dark chocolate so I can live with that. I’ve lost 2kg in 2 months so I’m pleased with that. No one has noticed but I can see my clothes sitting better on my body. Have decided to stick with 4mg for the third month rather than move up to 9mg as I’m happy with how it’s working out.

So I am now in day 3 of 9mg. And too be honest I think I had greater suppression on the 4mg. My chocolate addiction (and now a coke zero addiction) seem to negate any non eating of other food.
In 2 months I've still only lost 5lbs. Which is pretty disappointing.
I've got to decide whether it's worth continuing with. I really thought it would be an easy fix. I suppose I have to actually plan some meals and make a more concerted effort to change my habits.

Wow @roundisashape I am craving the exact same as you! Chocolate & coke zero. I have always had 1 zero per day but now I want more. And all I want to eat is chocolate. I am steadily losing though thankfully. My 9mg is in the post. Have you tried the jabs? I was on them but I was sick as a dog. Maybe they are worth a try if you don't feel like the tablet is working?

I was going to stick at 4 but I found towards the end of 1.5 that its effectiveness was starting to wane . I think this could happen again so I'm going to move up.

@Poppycorn123 I've not tried the jabs. I'm a bit of a wimp. So committed to the pills. I had thought I'd left the chocolate craving behind, it was really bad on the 1.5 eased on the 4 and now back with a vengeance. C'est la vie - I suppose living off chocolate and coke is pleasurable - though not quite what I had in mind.

Honestly I felt the same about the jabs.i hated the thought of them..but they are tiny. You can't feel a thing, 2 seconds once week. If I wasn't so ill on them I probably would have stuck with them.

Of course you have to change your habits, you should be having a complete lifestyle change. Basically everything someone who isn’t take jabs or pills would do. Not carrying on eating chocolate!
I’ve had to totally switch my diet, but the medication allows me to do that
This was never about being an easy fix

Ironically my diet was 1000 times better before I started taking the pills. I hardly ate chocolate and always prioritised protein, drank 3 litres of water etc etc. I got fatter. I thought the pills would lessen my appetite so I could eat the same way but less. But in actual fact I now have a really sweet tooth. When Im hungry I'd rather not eat than put healthy balanced food in my mouth. The sense of permanent fullness means I crave simple easy and quick to digest things, bread, chocolate etc.
I'm effectively going to have to force feed myself the good stuff. And hope that the habits stick.
But in my current chocolate and coke diet of and cake (I never ever eat cake) I am now another pound down.

Weight can be really strange sometimes, we can do the right thing and plateau for ages then lose while eating crap. Mostly it follows a logical route but sometimes doesn’t and it can be confusing!

Those of you who are on the pill but not losing much - are you actually tracking your calories? I'm now 6 months in and been on the Wegovy pill for five of them - two months on 1.5mg, two months on 4 mg and one month so far on 9mg. I'm now down 30 pounds, but I have tracked my calories relentlessly and kept them between 1300 and 1500 a day, and increased my activity to 5000 steps most days plus a gym workout once or twice a week. The Wegovy is helping because I just don't feel hungry beyond the calories I'm taking in, and I'm keeping the protein intake as high as possible - at least 70 mg a day and generally in the 80-100mg region, occasionally over 100 mg.

I just don't think you can rely on the pill and suppression of appetite to do that work for you. It's so easy to eat calorie-dense food and rack up the calories without filling yourself up. It's not that I don't have treats, but they are of the nature of a Jaffa cake with my afternoon tea (46 calories for one cake) and a couple of squares of dark chocolate (60 calories each).

Has anyone moved up to the 25mg?

I am dithering. I am losing a steady 4-6 lbs a month so far, half a stone this month on 9 mg, 1 st in total.

the first two weeks of 9 mg I was exhausted. Three weeks in and I’m feeling much better. So I’m dithering whether to stick with a known tolerable but slow and steady dose, or up to 25mg and speed up the weight loss a little. Towards the end of 4 mg it did get a little less effective so concerned about that…

Im wondering the same @Yetanotherone12 . Im losing at the same rate. Slowly but its going , (have now lost 16lbs, but still need to lose another stone to put me into the top end of normal BMI) . I have noticed that my shape has changed quite a bit though - fortunately around the top and middle where I really do need it to go as an apple shape, rather than my bum and legs , which I dont.
I think I may go up to 25 as I had a drop off towards the end of 4mg also, but waiting another week to order as I have 14days of 9mg to go still . I haven't notice any side effects moving up apart from the first few days really not wanting to eat at all ! But thats stabilised now and im back to eating alate brunch and dinner which suits my lifestyle.
