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.

Day 13 here and I’ve lost 4 and a half lb. I can’t believe it, it’s the first weight I’ve lost in years and it hasn’t been at all difficult. I find I can go a lot longer without even thinking about food, and I haven’t wanted big portions. I’ve been eating healthier too with no snacks apart from a bit of fruit.

I'm on week 5 on 1.5 and only 4lbs down. Horrendous side effects at first, but they've thankfully settled. My reorder window is open , and I'm thinking of ordering the 4mg and keeping the rest of the 1.5s for taper down time. If I don't lose anymore on the 4mg, I'm going to have to quit taking them, as I can't justify the price for such minimal loss.

Day 1 of 4mg here. I've lost 2.2kg on the 1.5 dose, all in the first 2 weeks tho, stayed the same for the last 2 weeks. Hoping that I start to loose again now I'm on the 4mg as I have a lot to loose!

I didn’t lose anything on 1.5mg but am 4lbs down after 10 days on 4mg. I have felt really tired on 4mg though, and a bit teary too. Hopefully this will settle. I didn’t take the pill yesterday just for a bit of respite from the side effects. I’m finding it’s a balancing act between the pills working but not so much that I’m too tired/full/nauseous to cook healthy food and get out walking.

Day 21 for me. No loss this week so still 8lb for 3 weeks which is brilliant. I have always only ever lost weight every 2 - 3 weeks. Never weekly so likely a pound or 2 to come next week hopefully. I had been hungry on Monday and Tuesday so rather than taking my pill at 6 am, I have moved it to 8 am and that has made a difference yesterday and today. Still unsure about increasing to 4 but need to decide soon. I don’t have a huge amount to lose now. 10 pounds or so.

Just wondering when everyone noticed the food noise disappearing? Day 2 on 1.5 for me today & haven’t noticed anything yet.

It might be the effects of the drug building up in your body. GLP 1s were designed to be taken long term or permanently for effects like regulating blood sugar so it may be several weeks before you fully feel changes in the way your gut works & your pancreas releases hormones. I notice 3 weeks in it seems to be working more too.

I’m on day 3 , yesterday was awful, all day headache and I had the most horrendous sweet tooth. Today I have noticed less of an appetite and not thinking of food as much .

I’m on day 2 at 4mg and bizarrely I’ve eaten more today than any other day on 1.5 😕 I’m glad I have no nausea at all as I was really worried about that, and the first 3 days of so at 1.5 were horrendous for me with nausea so I expected it to kick in again. But I’m a bit worried I was able to eat an entire pizza this evening… that never happened on 1.5.

I’m only 2 days in on the higher dose so I’ll just see what happens…

I think I'm on day 7 of 4mg and today has been my strongest appetite supression yet. I took my pill at 5am and didn't eat until 9.45am. I've barely been hungry today and have realised that I've only eaten around 1200 calories today and that's being very generous.

I'm feeling some despair right now. I have put on 0.8lb and I don't know how. I'm still on 1.5mg and start 4mg on Wednesday but if I don't have a better month I can't justify the cost but equally I have no idea what I'll do instead. I'll weigh again on Wednesday

Week 5 weigh in and I’ve lost 2lbs so 16 in total. I’m shocked how quickly it’s coming off. I tried on some of my old clothes yesterday and they are still a bit too small but I did rediscover 5 tops I haven’t been able to wear for a few years. Got rid of a lot of my bigger clothes which was very therapeutic (I have lost 2 and a half stone over the past 2 years but put 4 and a half since my lightest point) and once this summer is over, I will get rid of my ‘now’ clothes. I cannot ever let myself put on this amount of weight again.

10 days on 4mg and I’ve lost a pound 🤣

i am definitely eating less. I am not religiously tracking but yesterday I had- please bear in mind I had a 10 hour shift so this isn’t my standard nutrition!!

toast- 300 cals
crisp sandwich- 300 cals

then I had a ready meal defrosted but wasn’t hungry till late so I had 5 mini oatcakes and an individual portion of cream cheese- 200 cals.

so I reckon I’m eating between 800-1400 cals. No desire to eat more, and I’m generally happy with the suppression and the effect on my eating. i don’t think i want to be eating less and I’m thinking about staying on 4 mg.

just frustrating the weight is coming off so slowly!!

Week 5 and I’ve lost almost 10lbs - I had a 4 day gap between 1.5 and 4mg too.

SW 74kg

I am hovering around the 70kg mark and 29.5 BMI now. I’d like to get to 60kg by next summer and then maintain.

I’ve just been approved for the 1.5mg and I’m really scared to take them in case I get awful side effects!

I’ve put on 3 pounds since starting 4mg 😂 I’m not despairing as I’m playing the long game and I know how much weight fluctuates for women even day to day.

Nausea and things like that do pass. I don’t know about other providers but Voy give anti sickness tablets with them

Thank you very much. I might pick up some anti nausea medicine from the pharmacy.

Day 19 of the 1.5mg for me.

Lost 5lbs so far. Not much shifting this week, but then I didn’t expect to lose much on the starting dose, given that it’s mainly to get your body used to the Semaglutide, so I figured the initial weight loss would be minimal.

Although I’ve only been eating between 1000 -1200 (max) calories most days, so I’d have thought a little more may have come off than that by now.

Just ordered the 4mg as have not long left of the 1.5mg. Didn’t really get any side effects on the 1.5mg, so wondering if that will change when I go up to the 4mg.

Haven’t bothered weighing myself the last couple of days due to the heat, as I know I’ll probably be holding on to more water and other things the heat does to your body to fool the scales! 😁

SW: 13st 10lbs
CW: 13st 5lbs

Day 3 of 4mg

Im getting an almost uncomfortable full feeling from about 9am till 1pm (take pill around 5.45am) but then feel "normal" in the afternoons and craving naughty sweet things so badly.
Seeing a difference in my face a little bit and a bit in my clothes...finally

Took my first dose this afternoon (work nightshifts so took after my sleep/8 hour fast) not hungry for any dinner yet where as I’d usually be tucking into snacks and eating my Friday night pizza by now. Probably just the placebo effect but I’m going to hold out on eating until I actually feel hungry.

Same here. Not hungry until lunchtime but then completely normal hunger. I’m not stuffing my face like I used to I suppose, but I do feel downhearted that on 1.5 I really couldn’t eat much at all, and tonight I had a big plate of pasta and still had a slice of cake after 😬 better than 2 slices or a share bag of m&ms I guess

I’m nearly 4 weeks in on 1.5. I’m staying on that dose for another month. I don’t know my weight loss currently because I’m on holiday (no scales!) but certainly at week 3 I’d lost over 5kg. This week my clothes are sitting better and I don’t look quite so bloated in my holiday pictures. I’m getting decent suppression as the medication has accumulated and since week 1 I’ve had no obvious negative side effects.

I've completed my first week on 4mgs and have lost 5.5lbs. I'm delighted as I only lost 4lbs in total during the month on 1.5mgs.I have strong appetite suppression and am eating very little as simply not hungry or thinking about food at all. At odd times I feel a bit queasy but otherwise no symptoms really. I am waiting a minimum of an hour after taking the tablet before I have my morning cup of tea to allow for maximum absorption. This is making a massive difference to my appetite/food noise I believe. Interested to see what happens weight loss wise in the coming week. Either way I'm really happy to have lost 9.5lbs in five weeks. 2st 3.5lbs to go.

I am on day 15 of 1.5mg, in the first week I lost 4lb, which was amazing. I have now been on holiday for almost a week with no access to scales, and have another week to go, so won’t have a clue where I’m at for a little while yet! I am continuing to have appetite suppression, but not as much as the first few days. Usually when I’m on holiday, I’ll have a couple of pastries for breakfast, I’ll join in with the ice creams, cakes and foreign haribo! But I haven’t really partaken in the same ways as normal, in part because I just don’t want to go home heavier, but I am also genuinely not as interested as usual. I have eaten slightly richer/stodgier food than normal (I can’t resist a wodge of baguette with butter, ham and cheese!) and my stomach has suffered a little for it, with some loose poos, but no other ill effects. Hoping that keeping a bit more active (Center Parcs, so daily pool, cycling around the site, etc) is making up for it! Will have to make a fairly speedy decision on whether to go up a dose, as it’s due to be dispatched soon after we arrive home.
