Wegovy pill

[Sillyme1]

Anyone else waiting for this? I am, let’s start a thread to see how we all get on. I have two stone to lose. My DH said yesterday that ‘I am a bit plump’. Upset, though it’s true.

How is everyone finding dealing with the taste of the tablets. I think the taste is making me feel more queasy than the tabs themselves. I am super quick at getting it down, and putting it right at the back of my mouth in a stealth move but I can still taste it for ages. And actually can smell the taste (I know that sounds mad) all day.

Oh no that’s awful 😬 I haven’t noticed any taste at all.

Haven’t noticed a thing. One sip of water and down.

the circle paracetamol I can taste for ages. But have found these really easy.

There’s a slight bitterness but it’s not too bad.

I’m trying to come to terms with the appetite suppression. It’s very strong for me so I’m assuming moving to 4mg would be a disaster. I don’t know what I would eat at all at that strength!

But there are two muffins in the kitchen that a friend brought over today and I cannot touch them. I had no breakfast, a small bowl of cereal for lunch, and a plate of tuna pasta with salad for dinner at half the size of portion I used to have. I cannot physically eat anything else or I suffer badly. I feel horrendous and then I suffer heartburn through the night.

I actually want to eat those muffins and previously I’d have scoffed both without a second thought! But now I physically can’t do it. It’s very strange getting used to this and I’m not enjoying how horrendous I can feel if I go so much as one bite over what my body can handle. I know it’s what I need as I’d never have that full feeling on my own… but it is hard to deal with.

Today was day 2, and I’ve been out with a friend tonight for a meal and I feel soooo bloated (and very gassy!).

I had no real issues eating the food (had a starter and a main) and tried to stick to ‘healthier’ lower calorie options on the menu (garlic mushrooms to start and then pan fried salmon fillet on broccoli with new potatoes)

Now I’m worrying that I’ve over eaten and that the tablets haven’t suppressed my appetite as much as I thought!

Am I just massively overthinking it all? 🤦🏽‍♀️😁

Ah no I’m so sorry! I haven’t been too bad in terms of feeling awful but have been staying at around 1200 cals a day. The one day I felt bad was after a couple of days having a couple of glasses of wine…

In terms of the suppression I have been fascinated by it. My DH had a pack of biscuits today and I didn’t even want one. It’s amazing to me as someone who had zero control before and would eat as many as were left…

Are you tracking calories? I find it really helpful. I felt like I had eaten more calories today and I was still within 1200 cals. (Note - I’m not actually massively restricting my cals if say I fancy a wine when out - it’s just useful to keep an eye on how the tablets are affecting my daily consumption and to try and up my protein)

Yes, I use MyFitnessPal. It gives me 1490 daily

But I know I’ve gone over that today.

I only had 1000 calories yesterday though, so I guess it evens itself out a bit.

I do have a habit of overthinking stuff!

I’m the same. I don’t want to so much as look at treat food. I think I’m finally understanding the “food is fuel” mentality. If even a glimmer of a thought about chocolate or crisps sneaks through the appetite suppression, my memory of how rotten they made me feel stops me in my tracks anyway.

Gas, bloating, and nausea are part of what keeps my appetite down. I have to be very careful to stop eating exactly when my stomach tells me to or I suffer with these.

It’s awful for me too! But the taste is usually gone within a couple of hours. I’m finding I can’t even contemplate eating for at least an hour after I take it.

I have just ordered 1.5 for a second month, as it is working enough for me to feel I am still staying well nourished etc while losing weight. I don’t think I have ever eaten less sugar in my entire adult life.

I am not drinking alcohol at all.

I have found the Voy app very useful for asking questions to, and have been following its suggestions, like ‘pause for 30 seconds before eating’ which really does seem to help.
If anyone would like a Voy code, please PM me.

Day 21 for me and I’m in a good routine with it now.
I take my tablet when I wake up about 5.30am. Take the dog out for 1-1.5 hours then come back and have a cup of tea. I usually have breakfast about 9am.
I have lunch between 2&3pm and then just some fruit in the evening (I’ve never been a dinner eater due to a medical issue)
I’m not wanting to snack at all. That’s the biggest change for me….i was a constant snacker! I could always make low fat meals and watch my portion sizes but I’d snack on crisps, crackers etc constantly.
I still have no desire to drink wine which is completely unlike me as I’d easily have had 2 glasses a night at home and 5/6 on a Friday night at the pub, plus 5/6 gins/rums. I think that’s probably what’s helping the weight loss most…and I feel so much better!!!

Anyway, 9lbs off for me in 3 weeks and considering I only want to lose 1.5 stone, I’m pretty pleased!

Good luck to everyone else starting out!

That’s good to know because I feel awfully bloated this morning and couldn’t even think of eating anything, so I can’t see me eating too much today if I’m honest!

Just taken tablet 3. I’m going to make sure I drink plenty today to keep the old bowels moving! Constipation was one of my bigger worries!

Day 2. I have dropped 1.5lb overnight! Under 200lb for the first time in a long time. Thats probably the extra steps running to the toilet after drinking all the water in yorkshire!!!

Was definitely less hungry yesterday. Drank lots of water and did 10000 steps. Food was good. Didnt want to snack after i ate tea. Didn't fancy wine.

This morning, I have a slight headache. Took pill at 7. Just finished breakfast, usually planning lunch by now but just dont want to think about it. I am making a conscious effort to make sure I am making good choices - 150g of greek yogurt, berries and chia seeds for breakfast. Smaller portion than i usually would but feel so full at the moment.

I've just put my order in for next month- moving up to 4mg. Has anyone recently moved up to that? I just want to make sure I won't be even more fatigued. I did mention fatigue on the check in so they may recommend staying at 1.5

I am day 6 today. Was going to wait until tomorrow to weigh myself but I weighed in this morning. I have lost 5 pounds and have made it to under the 11 stone mark. This time last week. waiting on the delivery I would have been happy to 2 pounds. I have spent all year trying myself to get half a stone off. 6 months of tracking and misery. The tablet has done it in less than a week. I know most of it will be water and I need to keep going.

Well done! It’s a great feeling to see it working so quickly. I just weighed myself. I’m 2 and a half weeks in and down 12lbs! It’s incredible and really motivating 🤗

Day 5 on 1.5mg for me and there's still no real difference in hunger. I still have food noise and am snacking. I'm averaging 1,670 calories a day.

I'm going to weigh myself on Saturday, but I doubt that I'll have lost much. I'm not experiencing any side effects and I already have the 4mg ready for next month. Hopefully I'll start to see a difference then. If not I might need to go back onto Mounjaro.

I wonder if because your body is used to Mounjaro you have built up a tolerance, and may need the higher dose?

Whereas for me who never took Mounjaro, my body is reacting to a lower dose.

DH thought he was being nice and picking up chinese food on the way home. Had 2 ribs, a couple of chicken satay skewers and a few prawn crackers. (Basically what 8 would usually have as a starter).

Thought as only day 2 it would be fine. Boy was I wrong. Feel a bit sick, tummy ache and a long visit to the smallest room. Note to self, resist take out for a while!!!

Plus side, not at all hungry and ate probably 1/3 of what I usually would want.

Same here with pizza. 2 slices where I would have eaten the entire thing before. It’s simply impossible!

Day 17 here

Side effects completely gone

Not calorie counting but being mindful and have upped my fibre and protein.

Sw 80.5 kg
Cw 76.2 kg
SBMI 30.2
CBMI 29.1

The weirdest bit for me is that I don't fancy tea or coffee anymore. At all. I was a hot drink fiend - no mater the weather

@OneMoreCookieMonsterim the same with the tea. Lucky if I drink one now and usually I was like nobody speak to me until I have had my cuppa coffee

on the dosage. has anyone actually tried halving a tablet?

I know it’s not “recommended” but I was sent one month 1.5 and one month 4. So I’m thinking if I half month two I’m up slightly, or much the same? As I am happy with where I am.
