Starting WeGovy - advice on timing

[ImOnlyMakingPlansForNigel]

I’m just about to start on wegovy, I’ve literally just picked up my prescription. As advised, I’m starting on the 0.25 dose.
Obviously until I have my first dose, I’ve no idea how my body will respond… will I feel ill, sick, etc etc. No idea, but fully prepared for what may come.

This may sound stupid but I have a date on Saturday.. a sleepover date.
Do I risk doing the first dose now and risk being ill… or am I better to wait until Sunday?

(clearly this could come down to priorities and what’s more important to me, but at the same time, I’ve waited this long, will another few days make a difference?!)

If it's very important to you to avoid any side effects, then yes, waiting a few days to start is neither here nor there in the scheme of things. Waiting a few days to start makes no odds in the overall long term process of weight loss that is going to take you several months plus, and potentially be an ongoing process.

I think it’s more the unpredictability. Nausea or diarrhoea wouldn’t be the sexy vibe I’m going for 😜😂

Yes I understood that @ImOnlyMakingPlansForNigel

If you’re feeling nervous about your first dose, it might be worth choosing a time when you don’t have anything important planned. A few days’ difference shouldn’t automatically mean you’re falling behind, but follow your prescriber’s advice about when to start. That way, you can give yourself some breathing room to see how your body responds without adding unnecessary pressure

I felt the same as you do when starting but pleased to say I've had no side effects and lost the 2 stones I needed to lose . If you're worried it would do no harm to wait a few days . Good luck .

Thanks. This post was back in August but happy to update:
I decided to wait until after the date just to be safe. Side effects for me were fairly minimal - nausea and the delightful eggy burps (😖) but otherwise ok.

I'm now nearly 6 weeks in, and I've lost 12.5lbs so far. I've stayed on the 0.25 dose as it seems to be doing enough for me, and I don't want or need to rush anything.

I'll be honest , it took me 6 months to stop having diarrhoea on day 3 after injecting .
Tmi , it was first thing in the morning and mainly just the once , but I'm sure if I was out of the house when it happened it would have been a bit of a disaster of you get my drift !
I had a fair bit to lose but am happy to be 60 lb down in just over 8 months .
