Starting Wegovy pill and looking for others to join a support thread Sept 2026

[Autumnfun1]

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

I have literally just posted on the jab starter thread but I think I will be better on this one. Still waiting on RM to deliver and can't wait. I really do need to lose weight (18st8lb) but my main reason is to see if it will help with the auto immune pain and flares. I'm really struggling with those this year.

I am really struggling to loose weight for a number of years . I have been increasing exercise this last year and feel fitter but still not lost any weight. Try to eat healthy but there is often food noise.

My start weight is 14 stone I am 5ft 4 and I carry a lot of the weight on my stomach . I am not feeling too much suppression yet maybe will take more time. Being impatient 🙂 going to try and plan meals better this next week. Has anyone got some good recipes or cook book recommendations they have found have worked well while on Wegovy

I'm 12 days in and have lost 7lb. No obvious side effects. I'm calorie counting, but have had a few days over the bank holiday weekend of not calorie counting. The hardest thing seems to be eating enough protein.

Good luck with your journey! Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Im on day 21 and would love to join you.

I've had appetite suppression from day 1 and a bit of constipation but otherwise I am doing fine.
I’m weighing tomorrow morning

Hi all.checking in and bookmarking?!

2 weeks in and have only lost 1lb. Not feeling very motivated right now!

I'm about 3 weeks into my 4mg dose. I had no suppression on 1.5mg & no side effects either other then thirst & constipation. I've lost about 3 or 4 Kg. I've definitely felt suppression on 4mg but was hungry today. My problem is that I can eat large meals, or more often then needed if the good is put in front of me by other people. Left to my own devices I'm eating less but that's not always possible. I'm hoping now the holiday season is over it will be a little easier.

I’m starting next week so following.

I took my first ever wegovy tablet last Saturday...lowest dose. I'm delighted with it so far - no nausea or side effects at all.

It's very gentle. I am simply not over eating - i don't feel hungry. I have never, ever experienced this before... I feel much more in control of what I'm buying and eating.

I will weigh myself once a week (on Saturdays) but I feel like I have lost weight already - I tried on a pair of jeans earlier that were very tight a few weeks ago and they were fine now so I must be a few pounds down.

My starting weight is 14 stone 10 pounds...I'm only 5"3 so I really need to lose the weight. My doctor convinced me to try the tablets - I didn't want to do the injections. I really feel like I can do this.

My September goal is to get under 14 stone and I'd love to be under 12 stone by Christmas. I plan to stay on as low a dose as possible for six months and then review.

This is what I am hoping for. However I joined a group on Facebook and its full of people talking about the nasty side effects they are experiencing. 😣 Mine are due to be delivered tomorrow.

Day 4, less of a headache today and didn’t feel sick like I did on day 2! Worst thing is that I had a very ordinary ready meal for dinner (timing was bad for eating tonight so didn’t cook) and it seems like it was too much food so I feel a bit rough. I would never have thought it was too large a portion even after I added some vegetables. I’m clearly going to have to be much more mindful!

On the plus side I had enough energy to do an exercise class which is something that had concerned me before starting, so that’s good.

This.
i was 14st 8lb when i started 16 days ago and now I’m 13st 13. I’m happy with the steady loss and no side effects on 1.5mg so I’ve ordered the same for next month. Don’t want to rock the boat with any potential side effects of increasing dosage when everything is going so well.

Hi, I have the tablets coming on Monday to try. Been thinking about starting for a long time but worried I’ll be really unwell taking them. Have 1.5 stone to loose but been trying to loose it for around 2 years ! Can’t seem to eat the deficit that’s needed which has become very frustrating. Hope I’m ok on the starting dose.

I was the same writh same to lose. Stock up on electrolytes and drink lots of water and just crack on but make sure 1st couple days when can take it easy to adjust.

I'm on week 7 and down 10lbs. Seem to have plateau'd for a couple of weeks here but reordered the 1.5mg for month 3 anyway as I think it's just a settling period and my appetite is wayyy down. If anything, I think the suppression is getting stronger because how i taste has changed. I've gone off pretty much everything! Can't handle whole milk or much cheese i craved fruit at first but thats gone, gone off tea and coffee. Salami tastes disgusting now. I only ate half my evening meals last 2 days. Its kind of flipped from spending most of my time mentally debating when and what i can eat to drumming up enthusiasm for something :/

At first I had no side effects; i'm a very nauseous/headacjey person anyway so recently when thats played up its been pretty normal however the last week's been particularly grim so i do wonder 🤔

I’m on day four or five following the program via Voy. Their app has been really helpful. I’ve only experienced slight constipation and have lost about 3 pounds so far.
I am 5 foot nine and 15.2 stone so I have quite a bit to lose!

I weighed today and have lost another 1 lb this week!
I'm really happy with slow and steady and I’m loving not thinking about food all the time!

My pills arrived today. Glad I didn't pay extra for fast delivery as I only ordered them yesterday. I'm going to start Tuesday as I mainly work from home but am out at the office Monday and worry about side effects. I have been having a few wobbles but now feel that they are paid for and here and will give the first month a go and take it from there.

Day one for me. Not to lose weight but hoping to shift from maintenance on Mounjaro to maintenance on these as it’s so cheap.

No gastric effects after 7 hours but very hungry, feels like I haven’t taken anything. Not a surprise as I’m only on the 9mg ones and maintenance should be 25mg.

Day 7 for me. No weight loss yet 😭 but appetite is definitely smaller and I am eating less. Awful diarrhoea today, but work from home on Friday so have been okay! Hope everyone else is getting on okay

Day 3 for me . Starting to feel the effect on my appetite. Not too many side effects at the moment slightly upset stomach feeling a bit tired . No weight loss yet but early days. Hope everyone day is going well 🙂

Day 17 for me and another 2lb dropped so now lost 11lb 😁

Hi OP - me too. I’ve been too full to eat any dinner today.

Also, I have unmedicated ADHD and I really feel like this might be helping me. I obviously appreciate that this is anecdotal but I just don’t feel overwhelmed like I usually do. Which is a revelation for me. It might be completely coincidental but it’s so lovely not to have my mind whirring off 100mph.
