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.

I am a month in.

down 4lbs. I’ve lost 6 but gained 2 this week.

i’ve taken my first 4mg today. I’ve had no side effects, but definitely making better choices and eating less. Not counting calories, trying to eat instinctively. I find I’m not eating big meals in an effort to fill myself up. Less of that “if I eat 3 watermelons/a huge stir fry I won’t be hungry”, because I will, then start on the toast. I’m eating a biscuit if I want, but stopping at 1.

i want to be at a point where I’m comfortably losing 6-8lbs a month so have gone up a dose.

I am a bit concerned about how much my appetite has been suppressed. I am eating less than 1000 calories a day. I am full all the time. I have lost half a stone in 2 weeks which is fabulous but I only had a stone and a half to lose. I actually only want to lose one stone. I don’t feel tired but I am definitely lacking energy or the inclination to cook meals.

I have a Bolt code if anyone needs one 😊 x

@LondonCheesecake yes, definitely uneven appetite suppression. What I eat and my weight loss reflects that too, but overall is the right direction. Be interested to hear how you get on with 4 mg. I’m too chicken and doing another month at 1.5 despite some hungrier days.

I am just waiting for my second month of 1.5 to arrive. My hunger levels are definitely variable, but for the first time since age 12 I haven’t been driven to consume my own weight in chocolate approaching my period.

I seem to have developed an aversion to carbs, and when I do feel like eating I just want protein and vegetables and fruit.

Does anyone have really spotty skin since starting the pills?

Update:
week 1 -4lbs
week 2 0 change

Can I ask - how long was the verification call with Voy?

Less than 10 minutes.

I can't wait to start the pills. I was on MJ last year but since I stopped I've put up some weight and I'm starting to feel out of control. Mine are being delivered next week and even knowing the fact I'll be getting them I feel more in control already.

Thank you!

I didn’t have one - just had to upload some pics

How did you get approved for these if you only have a stone or stone and a half to lose?

I've had the same kind of experience - 9lbs lost in 3 weeks without trying at all. I felt constantly ick - like morning sick for the first week so I halved the dose (yes, I know that's not recommended). This got rid of most of the side effects but I'm still a bit listless and definitely not motivated by food. I guess this might be due in part to the rapid weight loss. A lot of the weight loss is water I'm sure. I'm trying to eat well - protein/vegetables etc.
I think there are 'high responders' to Wegovy, you and I are probably two of them.

I filled in the questions honestly and they approved me. Had a video consult to do Joe check everything and got the tablets 48 hours later. My BMI was over 26.

Depending on height 1.5 stone can make a big difference to bmi.

Yip me day 10 for me and last couple of days my skin has went oily and a good few spots on my face and a sore one in my hair at the top of my head very random.

@Florabella I only have half a stone left to lose, done 3.5 calorie counting, but my bmi is 25.8 and I take bp medication so was approved

My 4mgs has been dispatched and I'm looking forward to moving up. I've lost 5lbs this last month but I have 3 stone to lose so would like to speed up a little bit. I decided at the beginning that in order to justify the cost I would need to lose at least 7lbs per month hence my decision to move up. On the plus side, I haven't had any symptoms and am finding with the Voy App helpful.
I too have a Voy code for £50 off if anybody wants it. PM me if interested - thanks in advance..

Am on holiday at the moment and have definitely overeaten today, especially the sweet stuff. Am feeling a bit grim tonight as a result and cross with myself. Need to try and have a better day tomorrow!

Im so sad about this @Usernamepleasework I hope it just passes :(

Sunday holidays are to be enjoyed. I put on 3lb last week while away, which was a little more than I expected. Anyway I went back to (new) normal eating on Tuesday, weighed myself today and those 3lbs have gone. I'm so happy. I'm hopeful that I'll shift have a stone this month.

I can't remember who mentioned just wanting to eat fruit, vegetables and protein but thank you. I had a lightbulb moment yesterday that was what I wanted to eat, some protein! I'm veggie so not as easy to get that 'hit'. I have been experimenting in the kitchen with seitan in the hope that does it for me.

I’m 11 days in on 1.5mg and I’ve lost 3kg - unbelievable! I’ve got lots to lose but I’m still eating super sensibly and being careful. I’ve long suspected a metabolic/hormonal issue so I’m interested to see what happens over the longer term.

Have managed to swerve any GI side effects mercifully but have had the occasional headache (which responds to ibuprofen well).

I’ve developed super dry eyes in the last week but I stupidly started using azaliac acid skincare in the past three weeks and Google says that dry eyes are common with that so have discontinued. Really hoping it’s not the Wegovy as I’m tolerating it well otherwise.

I am a week in with Voy and have lost about 3.5lb, which I am really pleased about. I have had no side effects other than some
mild diarrhoea on day 2. Some days I have had really good appetite suppression, other days I have definitely noticed hunger and needed a little more willpower not to have a snack. But all days I have found myself fuller quicker, and have had a smaller meal than normal.

today I was booked for afternoon tea with my daughter. I was nervous because didn’t want to overeat and feel ill, but also didn’t want to not enjoy myself. I ended up eating a lot less than I normally would (two and a half finger sandwiches, a couple of tiny savouries, a fruit scone with jam and a small slice of cake) and ended up feeling stuffed (also full of tea I guess!). Thankfully it’s acceptable to bring leftovers home, so can share with my husband or eat a bit tomorrow.

overall happy with hope things are going so far! If anyone would like a Voy code for money off, please let me know, happy to PM it.

Day 10. 188.8. Did a 6 mile walk today, didnt want cake and wine when we stopped. Had 1 alcohol free beer which is very good for me.

Appetite still ok, using a little willpower but not craving sweet things or wine.
