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

Anyone feel really sick on period with it?

In case it's helpful to anyone on 1.5 mg I didn't feel much suppression in the afternoon or evenings. I think it wears off. Had ridiculous suppression on 4mg. For the first couple of weeks it felt like gastric surgery, my stomach hurt if I ate more than something like a yoghurt & a piece of fruit. I had to use Slimfast shakes. As I only had 9lbs to lose in the first place it quickly came off & now I'm trying 4mg every other day for maintenance.

Congratulations that is great news

Hi Haalan l, that is really good to hear

Thank you maximc that is really interesting about the effect of 4mg . Is it ok to ask how long did it take to loose the 9lb?

I haven't been taking it long enough. Hope you are ok.

Hello, i am joining please 😀 today is day 5 of 1.5mg. No side effects and haven't felt lots of appetite suppression yet. I am being mindful of not eating too much however currently at home with a 14 month old whos been off nursery with HFM (and sleepless nights at the moment) so im being run ragged and dont have much time to eat anyway 😅 I have plenty of weight to lose, at least 3 stone, ideally 4+ so interested to see what the scales say after week 1!

Seven weeks in total, 3lbs in 4 weeks on 1.5 & 6lbs in 2 weeks on 4.

Hi, I’ve just taken my first one today. I’m 15st 11 so have a lot to lose think I would like to get down to 10st.

I’m going to look in to getting some colegne and multi vitamins to take as well. I’m peri menopause so should probably be taking some supplements anyway.

For people taking electorates do they add any taste to the water? Or make it grainy? I have real dislike of taking anything soluble.

Day 1 for me on the meds. Starting dose of 1.5.
I'm not sure if it's psychological but I have felt almost instant effects. Little bit of nausea but not too bad, but just don't feel like eating much.
I've had a slice of toast and a coffee, and I really don't know what to eat today.

Been sick and have had banging head but starting to ease. Common 2nd day of period. Seems amplified on this. Ill survive though lol

Package arrived yesterday so took my first one this morning. Fingers crossed this works as I have a lot to lose!

Electrolytes are variable in my experience! I've not been taking them this week, but I do when I'm exercising in summer as I get awful headaches when I'm dehydrated. The ones I like best are a brand called Repowr, because they do quite nice flavours which actually taste of something and aren't horrible gritty things. They do a a non-flavoured version as well.

Day 6 today, and last night I not only didn't fancy crisps when I got home (usually a Friday evening thing while I'm cooking) but I also definitely ate less for dinner than normal. I've not weighed myself since I started though, I wanted to give that at least a week. Aiming to lose somewhere between 10 and 20 kilos I think.

Week one done - I weighed myself this morning and I am 2kg/4.4 pounds down.

I did think it would be more as I have eaten wat less than normal but I am happy with that.

I have about 20kg/3 stone to lose so I'm hoping to stay on as low a dose as I can for 6 months or so.

I keep waiting for the side effects to kick in properly. I feel vaguely nauseous sometimes. The awful burping has stopped.

It is day five for me and I’m nearly a kilo down from when I started. I’ve also had quite a big eating out week due to family birthday and exam celebrations. On the whole I am quite pleased.

I

I am now day 5 too my weight is fluctuating a bit just now will weigh again on day 7 hoping to have lost a pound . How is everyone getting on today?

Start of my week 2 - I've had no unpleasant side effects yet. And I still feel in control of my eating. The idea of over eating does not appeal at all.

I had loads of energy today and did a lot of housework which is unusual for me...a happy side effect perhaps?!

I'll also add that there are crisps in the house and other treats and I haven't gone near them....I haven't even thought about going near them. This is very unusual for me... Is this how slim people feel all the time?! It's incredible.

Have you had any major side effects @Autumnfun1

I keep hearing about tiredness and fatigue. Has anyone experienced this?

I'm very fatigued at the moment, but not sure if its something else.

Interesting others feel it wears off in the evening, i feel like appetite is waning as i go through the day; i'm always hungry for breakfast and snack quite a bit in the afternoon but then only eat half a meal.

Day 1 for me tomorrow if I’m feeling brave when I wake up. Really worried about side effects so have been keeping an eye on this thread. What’s the worst side effects you have had?

Only a bit of fatigue at the moment. How are you getting on?

I have had slight fatigue but not certain it's from Wegovy could just feel tired

Right? This has been the biggest revelation for me 😂 usually I’d be crawling the walls looking for snacks and chocolate by this time of the evening.
