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.

Ah ok thank you. I thought perhaps high blood pressure would be a risk and a reason not to take them. I’m really dreadfully clueless about it all. I’ve never had scales at home and always lost weight until I’m happy in the size of clothes I’m wearing/ how I’m feeling etc but that makes sense to buy scales and keep an eye on the weight loss more accurately

Thank you. I’m completely freaked out by the injections but interested in these new pills. Thanks for all the advice

How have people found the pill for feeling “hangry”. I get terrible hanger and don’t cope if I’m very hungry. The problem is I do then go bonkers and eat too much. Does it suppress that feeling? How do you find it changes your hunger cues?

@Thehumblesmidge as @itsanamething says, thinking about it you will probably need scales as most places will ask for a photo or a video of you standing on the scales to prove your weight.

There are very few contraindications to taking Mounjaro or Wegovy, and the online consultation form will ask specifically about any potential issues. It will tell you if you are not able to be prescribed WLI based on your answers. Things like high BP are not an issue at all, they are in fact things that WLI are intended to help with.

All GLP1 medications, whether the injection or tablets, affect your hunger levels. They make you feel fuller quicker, and for longer. They also help to control blood sugar spikes too. I don't get hangry at all anymore, I don't get ravenously hungry like I did before. Even if I do feel quite hungry, I eat a reasonable amount and then I'm full and don't want to eat any more. That's why these medications are so successful at weight loss. They are synthetic versions of the hormones your body produces after you eat, but they last very much longer and you take them in much larger quantities than what would be produced naturally.

It’s worth remembering that some of the big scare stories have been side effects that are due to rapid weight loss, and would occur with any method that achieved this, and not specifically the injections. Lose too much weight too fast and you do put your body systems under strain.

Thank you that sounds like a dream. I struggle with hanger and feeling absolutely ravenous so portion control is hard

Yes I need to get my head around the dosage and when you come off them how you do it gradually etc.

I haven't been hangry at all. The closest I've been to it is when I've realized I am actually hungry but can't decide what to eat as nothing appeals.

I think the pills are starting to take effect. My downfall is evening snacking, and last night I was lying bed at 11pm and realised I hadn't thought about eating after finishing my dinner at 7pm. Normally, I'd have some chocolate or an ice cream or a bowl of cereal etc. Last night I didn't even slightly feel the urge to snack.

I hope this happens for me too 🙏🏻 I took the plunge and ordered the pills. I’ve been approved 😊

If anyone would like the referral code do message me- thanks to PP who shared theirs for me

My pills have arrived! First one tomorrow

I hadn’t expected the anti nausea and diarrhoea care. Package. Have many of you needed to take them?

Same! 😬

Hi all..
Lots of weight to lose... and 20th wedding anniversary next year (30 years together). Bolt have approved my package and should be arriving Mon.

Determined to look better for Christmas.

Anyone else noticed the effect the hot weather has on food noise?

It made me realise how much of a real thing it is for me and GLP1 might just work.

First time on WLT was very nervous, but took the plunge and ordered Wegovny tablets yesterday, friend gave me a code, had to take photos of face and side shot, write height and weight, used passport as ID, paid £49 using Bolt, Ive ben accepted, I need this, so glad I found this thread, here for support and to hear how everyones doing.

If anyone wants a Voy discount code, PM me.

So happy to find this thread. I just took my first tablet. Feel very nervous and excited. I've got about 3-4 stone to lose. I recently put on about two stone and I don't really know how. Perimenopause maybe. But I think I am fatter than I've ever been and I just want to be free of it.

I have taken the first pill…

What's the advantage of Voy over other providers?

I’m on Day 3 and not yet noticed any difference in myself. No side effects either though on the bright side! Are people genuinely feeling a benefit this early on or should I be expecting it to take a few more days to accumulate in my body?

I’ve decided to give myself the summer to try to lose weight with diet and exercise and if I haven’t lost what I want to by my birthday in September I’m giving the pills a go. I’m 57 this year and the heaviest I’ve ever been including pregnancy 😭😭 I do qualify for WL pills at my bmi but I’m on the lower end. I’m following this thread to see how you all get on before I potentially join you hope that’s ok

Day 5 here. Have lost 4.5lbs. I feel amazing. This is the 4.5 lbs I have been battling for six months in half pound increments. It’s not why I feel amazing though: my hungry ghost has shut up. It’s not just food (though that is amazing and allows me to eat what I’ve planned which is 3 x 500 cal meals plus a meaningful snack) but I’ve also stopped all the wanting: as another PP has said, Costa will be sad! All of my diversionary activities when I was trying not to eat - I don’t want to do those either. Long may this continue!

@Whitewallwhiteceiling i think that’s why they have different strengths: different people find the sweet spot at different levels of the meds (and even in the same person that can change over time).

I’m travelling for work next week (which I do a lot) and I normally massively overeat when I’m travelling so this will be interesting (I also can’t weigh while I’m away). Keep posting updates: I’m loving reading everyone’s experiences.

Do all the sites ask for photos and do they contact your gp?

Took my first pill at 6.45am this morning. Just had breakfast at 9.55. Trying to wait as long as possible before eating as boredom eating is definitely one of my issues. Tracked my calories on nutracheck too.

starting weight : 12 stone 10. Target weight: 9 stone 10. Weighing in on Fridays.

Voy asked for a photo but you have a choice whether they contact your GP. I chose not to which I know is probably not sensible, I just feel weirdly embarrassed I suppose. Voy were happy to prescribe though on my BMI of 27. Took the first pill this morning, so waiting to see how it goes
