Has anyone just started or about to start Wegovy Tablets? Would love some company

[jugof]

I took the plunge and ordered today, hopefully arrive tomorrow - would love to have others who are at the same point to share experiences!

I’ve got until Wednesday on 1.5mg and move up to 4mg….i’ve definitely noticed in the last few days that a little food noise has crept back in, but still finding it easy enough to stay within my calories which is good. Hoping the 4mg gives me that little bit of a boost again x

I have taken my first pill . So far, so good. :)

Good luck with the increase . Sounds like you’re doing okay so far.

Onwards and upwards -or rather downwards on the scale :)

Hi All,

Day 4 for me and can definitely feel some suppression. Felt some bloating, especially in the afternoons, I've also been logging calories via the Voy app and sitting around 1600 the last 2 days so I do feel it's beginning to work as I could easily eat double that some days!

Actually can't wait to weigh in and excited for where this journey could take me.

I started one week ago and have lost 3.5kg, so pleased! Although I am very aware that it will slow down and it's only because I have a lot to lose.

Absolutely gutted put 2lbs on over the weekend. Just finished week 3 and I've only lost 2lbs I've been really good on food , yes had a couple of drinks over the weekend but also lots of water anybody else feeling it's not working fully.

@Imtoooldforallthis my weight loss has been very odd. Im just starting week 4 and Ive lost 5lb but 2 of those have been this last week.
Ive just purchased the 4mg because I got some days of feeling absolutely nothing and just eating normally and then some days where I was too full to look at food.

Ive found drinking a glass of water (for "breakfast") in the morning really helps with making me feel full but food cravings have kicked in around 4pm most days.
There's an article on this, or another thread somewhere about the pills being more effective the longer you wait to eat/ drink after taking it so I've tried 60mins this morning instead of the 30mins.
Im a bit nervous about moving to 4mg because of the side effects but, to be honest, I didn't really get any on the 1.5 so I'm hoping for the same.

You could try increasing your water intake and definitely look for the article I mentioned and try waiting longer than 30mins in the morning to help with the pill absorbing. Good luck

Thank you that's very helpful, I haven't been eating on a morning then usually rice cakes and cottage cheese at lunch and then a smaller portion of regular dinners.

I found it a bit difficult as Ive never really eaten breakfast but you should definitely try to increase protein to make you feel fuller for longer. I have either a boiled egg or a protein yoghurt with the hopes of reaching around 100g of protein a day. Some days I dont manage this but I always drink 1.5ltr of water a day with a few coffees/teas on top

Have taken my first pill today, so I’m rereading everyone’s comments with interest!

Hello.
I’m thinking of starting as I lose and gain the same stone on repeat.
I usually get up and exercise in the morning. Is anyone else doing this? How does it work with the tablet?

I'd like to join! Ordered and have arrived but im on holiday end of August so going to wait til September to start them

Tomorrow is my 4 week mark on 1.5 pill, have lost 10lbs and delighted. Starting on 4 on Saturday and hoping to feel greater restriction. I'm with Bolt and have a discount code if anyone wants one. Apparently means I get £40 off my next order

Had my first 4mg pill this morning at 5.20am. Waited until 6.20 before I had my usual coffee.

Had another coffee at 8am but couldn't finish it.
Not really felt hungry but I've just been made another coffee and I feel so full that I just dont want it.
The 1.5mg seemed to stop having much of an effect on me so Im hoping what I'm feeling now is a good sign. Fingers crossed 🤞

Day 29, started the 4mg yesterday, I use google ai to calculate the calories and protein, I dont really need it but this has helped me, it tells me where I could improve and rates my daily food overall. Im in a mindset to eat small portions regularly and if food has no health benefit I wont eat it. I feel very lucky I havent had any adverse effects. Im with bolt and have a £60 off code for a new starter

I'm also with Bolt so if anyone would like a referral code to use if you're new to Bolt, please DM me.

I've just finished my first four weeks and am 5 lbs down, which doesn't sound like a lot but I'm happy with it. My snacking has reduced immensely and I'm not always thinking "what can I eat next" which is usually what my brain is thinking....
I started on 1.5mg and then started the 4mg ones a few days early - I'm keeping the last few 1.5mg tablets for weekends as sometimes I can feel a tiny bit queasy but I think that's just because my dose has increased.
I'm using an app called Lose It to track my calories and it's helping me.

You should be delighted, 10lbs is fantastic! I’d be thrilled with a similar loss in my first month. I’ve got a lot to lose and a high starting weight, so fingers crossed.

I’ve just finished day 2 and have definitely noticed a difference in the amount I’m eating- could very well be a placebo/because I know I’ve spent money, but I’ll take it! Still feeling hunger, but less desire to eat if that makes sense. I definitely need to up my protein intake as I don’t eat breakfast and I do struggle to get my protein in. Going to aim to eat a boiled egg and some cottage cheese each day for my lunch/snack as a starting point.

I am on day 3. No real difference yet.
With bolt if anyone wants a code ?

The first full week is done and the scales tell me I’ve lost 4lbs. It also says my visceral fat has gone down from 9 to 8. I know these scales are not totally accurate but it has been 9 for so long.

The reduction in appetite has been quiet but I have noticed a reduction in my desire to snack. I am happy on three meals a day.

I’ve had some mild side effects during the first few days; a headache the first couple of days and I’ve had a bad stomach about 2 hours after eating my evening meal on day 2 and 3.

I’ve suffered with persistent headaches and IBS in the past so it’s not been too much of an issue in terms of coping with the side effects.

I’ve just started my pills today so I’m hoping its the start of a good journey!
I only want to lose one stone as Ive lost one already myself but just can’t shift anything else so I hope these help

Well I'm a month in and a bit disheartened just wondering if anyone is the same as me. My appetite is suppressed and I'm eating massively less than normal, so in that sense it's working but only lost 2lbs. During the daytime I'm not eating much maybe a couple of eggs lunch or cottage cheese and rice cakes then a normal tea but a reduced portion , no snacking and nothing to eat after 8 o clock. Also doing couch to 5k.

@Imtoooldforallthis yeah, I’m with you. I’ve been fluctuating between 110.9 and 110.4kg for the last week (I weigh daily), so roughly 1.5 kg down from the start. Day 25 so going up to 4mg on the next order (which will hopefully arrive in time - not even despatched yet)! I’ve been considering switching to injections due to the timings for eating drinking.

BUT I will be measuring myself this week as I am lifting weights at the gym and I noticed this morning that I have a waist again. So maybe the trade off is less weight loss but toning/building muscle.

I’m 53 next month so peak peri/menopause/hormone chaos - there are many things going on, resulting in referrals to gynae - so I think I just need to chill and keep going with what I’m doing and hope that long term I’ll see results 🤞

Hey, can I join the club? I’m on day 3 today.

Day 1 I ate noticeably less.
Day 2 about the same as normal.
Day 3 I feel hungry all the time! I’d say I’ve eaten more than usual. I’ve had a bit of queasiness, but that’s making me want to eat.

I am looking to lose 10kg back to the weight I feel happiest at.

One week in - I’ve lost 8 lbs!

I know most of it will be fluid - and I was unwell for a few days last week so had NO appetite at all - but I’m pleased with this.

if nothing else it’s making me feel like I am in control of my snacking. I’m not snacking ! Also have not had any alcohol either which is always my failure point.
