Day 1 on wegovy pill would you like to join a support thread to support each other on this journey

I’m just three days into the 4mg and can feel a difference in appetite suppression.

Ive lost five pounds in just over a month. I am actually happy with this, as it is a sustainable loss for me. I lost three stone in a few months just over two years ago and it made me really unwell, so I’m happy with slow and steady losses.

Well I have stayed on 1.5mg for month two, partly in the knowledge I was going on holiday. First day of holiday yesterday and I made healthier choices and didn’t go crazy by any means, but woke up at 2am and there was just too much in my stomach I think and yes it came out again. Have skipped a pill today and again just taking it easy, enjoying the fresh fruit etc and not overdoing it. But I didn’t enjoy that. I don’t drink much at home either and although I had a few through the day I didn’t drink loads.

Has anyone stopped and then restarted after a week? Debating whether to start again when home, but don’t want the side effects again that I had when first started as I felt rough for a couple of weeks.

Day 35 Weigh-in (second month on 1.5mg)

Starting weight 66.7 kg (10st 7)
Weight last week 62.8kg (9st 12)
Current weight 62.1kg (9st 11)
Total loss 4.6kg (10 lbs)

Suppression is certainly less, but I find it easier to eat (first few weeks were horrific). I think I've broken through the sugar addiction, because when I am hungry, it's not what I reach for or want.

Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok.
I started 1.5mg last Friday, I’ll weigh tomorrow to see if there is any weight loss 🤞🏻
I have been pleasantly surprised as I’ve not really suffered many issues this week. The most notable though, is when I eat a meal, I’m finding that half way through I just stop enjoying it and I actually feel a bit sick.
This could potentially all be in my head but after losing most of the weight doing calorie counting, I’ve not experienced it before.
has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, in some ways that’s the most noticeable thing for me! I snack less when I’m in the office anyway but it’s not eating as much for dinner that I think it where the big reduction in calories is coming from. I’m going to have to think very hard about portion size in future!

It’s funny you mention snacks, as thinking about it, I don’t think I’ve had any this week. I have a major sweet tooth normally but weirdly this week, that seems to have disappeared. The treats I’ve got in the cupboard are still there which is unheard of!

I'm after a bit of advice. I'm travelling to a town I don't go to often over the next couple of days. When I've been in the past, I always get the same 2 sweet things from the bakery and they're amazing. They are really big and I'd estimate around 600 calories each so 1200 calories total. My head is saying I shouldn't get anything. My head is also saying that I'll never get to have a normal way of eating if I dont allow for things like this occasionally. My head is saying I can eat one tomorrow and one the next day to spread the calories but if I still have enough normal food that day too I might be slightly over calories.
I could just get one item and have half one day and half the next but I know I'd sit and think about the other 😥

Any advice?

That’s tough. I think I’d buy one and eat a bit of it and bin the rest. Otherwise you’re eating the old same level of calories but across different days. It will still add up.

Weigh day for me. 2.1bs gone this week. I was hoping to hold as appetite suppression has vanished. My new prescription of 4mg arrives next week.

just over 3 weeks in and just over 10lbs lost. I’m a happy lady

Hi I am on second month of this and currently on 4mg.

The fatigue is terrible and I am finding it hard to function.

i was really suffering with fatigue due to peri menopause anyway and can’t work out if its this or the tablets or both.

anyone got any experience or advice?

I am not currently on HRT.

Just started 2nd month on 4mg - DH on 9mg - I lost 10lb on 1.5, DH (much bigger than me) lost 2lb on 4mg

Just do it - you could get one and have over 2 days and then have the next over 2 days!

Gotto I think that if they are a rare treat then get both and enjoy them. However, I think you need to listen to your body while you eat them, you may find half way through that you've had enough. We had pizza for dinner this evening. I didn't fancy the wine we always have so didn't have any and certainly ate less than usual but walked away from the table having enjoyed my meal. Loads of calories but a take away is rare for me and we're celebrating, it's what normal, slim people do and I want to be one of those!

Hello! Has anyone had zero affect on the tablets? Halfway through my 9mg pack and still no appetite suppression!

Day 53 (day 20 on 4mg)
Just weighed myself and now 13st 2lb. SW was 14st 8lb. So 1st 6lb loss in total. Finding appetite suppression good so might stay on these for another month, will see how I feel in a few days.
Definitely starting to feel more like myself again. I previously lost 4st through low carb, high protein eating but had put half of it back on and felt out of control. Very happy with the wegovy pill overall.
Hope you are all getting on ok 🤞🏻

I would also get them. I haven’t denied myself anything I’ve fancied so far but eaten it mindfully and in moderation. So eating a bit of each over several days sounds sensible.

So first week weigh day this morning.
SW 12st 7.8lbs CW 12st 1.6lbs! So 6.2lbs loss. I know there’s likely lots of water weight in that but my jeans/trousers do feel looser.

Hi all, I am on day 11 . Have lost 4 pounds in my first week and feel like my waist is looking more defined. However I can’t seem to lose any more ( I weigh daily) was just confused to the good start but it has stalled already. Any advice appreciated !

I know Dr Amir Khan has done something about this and the thinking behind it is that the body doesn't like losing weight and so after some weight loss it will try and hang on to the weight but after a while starts again. May e have a look at his social media which explains it a he'll of a lot better than I just have. My weight loss has definitely slowed as well.

It’s also worth taking note of where you are in your monthly cycle if you have periods! I always hit a plateau in the week before my period and then lose it once my period is done.

Im also doing month 2 on 1.5mg as its still working for me so far so why not. I am also calorie counting which is a massive help. I do struggle to reach a protien target though. I've had the odd treat but can take it or leave it.

I'm on day 3 of 4mg. No side effect issues. If there are no side effects, and a steady 1-2lb a week loss, is it usual to step up again at the end of the month?

Hi i am day 6 of 9mg and def feel more supression, this is month 3 for me and def feels a big change from 4

I am not feeling too much difference from 1.5 and hitting a plateau just now. Happy with slow steady loss

Has anyone switched providers to get the new customer offers? I'm not sure if it is worth the hassle or not.
