Took my first one this morning. I'd read somewhere else that they taste horrible so took it with a sip of water and didn't taste anything so that's the way forward

Me too this morning, what did you think about the taste? I thought it was awful

Actually I didn't notice any taste , maybe I had too much water, but only a gulp as you would paracetamol etc ..

Another notification, they are coming today, so may start tomorrow despite the weekend away and long train journey as I can see how I react whilst WFH on Thursday.

Yetanotherone12 · 08/07/2026 10:21

I found the pill fine. Had with water, no taste noticed.

@snoopydoopydo i also have a weekend away but decided to start anyway. I know from experience it’s difficult to eat normally- snacks for the train, meals out, snacks for the hotel room etc…. My wegovy came with an anti diarrhoea and an anti sickness prescription which I wasn’t expecting but is good to have in case.

so far I’m not hungry but I’m a usual breakfast skipper so that may just be coincidence. I’m slightly nauseous but again I need to remember my iron, and I’ve not had much sleep so that would explain it.

Lola121 · 08/07/2026 11:54

I received my order from Simple Online Pharmacy yesterday. Took one this morning, just starting to feel some slight nausea

Didn’t notice any bad taste, took it with some water

Mariettta · 08/07/2026 12:04

Took my first one this morning. It is a bitter pill to swallow (lol) so defo need a slug of water with it. I'm slightly nauseous already and no interest in food. Don't know if that is a placebo effect. If my appetite remains suppressed I still aim to make myself eat three reasonable meals a day. I want very slow weightloss that I can maintain when I come off.

Florabella · 08/07/2026 12:24

My order from Voy has gone from saying it was dispatched to now saying it is being packed by pharmacy. Not happy!! 😡

Cece92 · 08/07/2026 13:51

I’m currently on 2.5mg of mounjaro and really considering switching to the wegovy pills so this thread is good to see ☺️ wishing everyone luck in their weight loss journeys and looking forward to seeing everyone’s results and feedback on the pills xx

Fishhooksandjellybabies · 08/07/2026 14:41

@Florabella I've got exactly the same from Voy. I was expecting it 7/8 July now says being packed at pharmacy. Payment taken two days ago so I'm ridiculously annoyed!

Florabella · 08/07/2026 14:42

It’s so frustrating isn’t it. I really feel gutted - was all set to start

Fishhooksandjellybabies · 08/07/2026 14:46

Me too but it's going to be a long haul so I really need to find my patience which seems to have eloped with my self control! Sigh.

Saludable · 08/07/2026 14:57

Same thing here with Voy, they must be inundated. Fingers crossed mine arrive before the weekend because I’m going away for several days.

LuckyCharmz · 08/07/2026 15:04

Mine from Lloyds pharmacy has been delivered today.

loveev · 08/07/2026 15:19

Mine has been delivered from
Voy . Iv decided not to start mine until mid August . When I get back from holiday . I want to be at home if there are any side effects

gratefulmezze · 08/07/2026 15:23

I took my first one this morning, slight headache today but no real changes to hunger (although I haven't been tempted by the staff room biscuit tin as I usually am).
I am only expecting to notice a difference in week two or three as semaglutide has an accumulative effect and builds up in the system.
The bitterness everyone refers to reminds me of anti-malaria tablets I was given as a child growing up in Africa.

Keeping my chubby little fingers crossed that everyone else's arrive today and we can all get started together!

StickyPits · 08/07/2026 16:19

Mine has arrived today. Starting tomorrow. 70kg, looking to lose 10kg

Florabella · 08/07/2026 17:01

It does give me some comfort that I am not the only one missing mine, so I hope we all get them very soon. I am going away in 2 weeks so I really wanted to get started now so that the worst side effects might have calmed down by then

Just taken delivery!

Stupid question but does it fit through the letterbox or do you have to be in?

Twoshoesnewshoes · 08/07/2026 22:54

It fits through the letterbox.
mine arrived today from Asda via DPD
going to start tomorrow.

anyone want to have a weekly check in on here?

@PillPoppin. I’m exactly where you are. Lost 3.5 stone diet and exercise and my BMI is now 25.4 but has been there since the end of March despite a 1400 calorie diet and exercise. If I try to eat less I’m starving and miserable so I’m contemplating the pills to help me on the final bit

It's worth a shot. It's so frustrating when you plateau. I just want to lose enough that the fluctuating 4 lbs are all in the healthy weight BMI range and maybe drop 1/2-1 dress size because, ermm, I'm vain!

The very first day I also got a headache but that was mainly because, far from turning off food noise, it felt like my head spent the whole day yelling, "You're not hungry!" at me at full volume. I'm very glad that only lasted the first day.

I"m in! Started 160lbs on Thursday. Down to 156. No goal weight, just a goal feeling.

Mine didn’t (from Voy): it was a box / cube about 5”.

So Day 1 in the bag. I felt fine. Kefir (which I normally LOVE) turned my stomach so I didn’t have it but otherwise all completely normal. Ate what I had planned to (quite a lot) but not even slightly tempted to snack which is unheard of in recent months. Placebo effect or Wegovy? I don’t care. More of the same please. Slept less well than normal but hey, it was hot. 2lbs down this morning! 😮

Poppypop87 · 09/07/2026 07:13

I definitely ate less yesterday but hard to tell if it's due to the heat. I've also woken up with a banging headache but again could be the heat rather than the pill

@AprilFlowersMay off to a good start! Long may it continue
