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

The worst symptom atm is the acid. I am literally necking rennies by the packet! I’m also finding that I am hungry come the evening. I suspect I will go up to 4mg next month.

hopefully your tiredness will ease off 🤞

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.

Yup same here, I avoid buying snacks that’s are unhealthy but it doesn’t matter if I wanted a snack I would find something, anything! And the same as @UncleColm I was wondering if that’s how it should be? I was offered a second helping of dinner tonight and just said “no thanks” without even thinking about it because I’d had enough.

I was also thinking today, would be interesting to consider how much money I’m saving by not buying snacks, extras etc. Just another reason to feel like the cost of the treatment is justifiable, as well as the health benefits.

Grain80 · 06/09/2026 23:32

Best place to buy? Stopped 2.5mg mounjaro in March

mrsmacmc · 06/09/2026 23:39

Heading into wk3 and pulling up my chair 🪑 SheMed 1.5mg

1st week 0 loss
2nd week 2kg loss

I have definitely noticed I'm not reaching for snacks anymore and need to be mindful of remembering to eat which is strange as usually come 3pm by head would be bouncing off the table with fatigue and tiredness. Hoping to get to 80kg currently 93.9kg 🤞🏻 as of weigh in this morning.

VictraBarca · 06/09/2026 23:44

I’ve been approved for my tablets today and they’re en route so can I join to have some people to hold me to account? I have 20-25kg to lose. I’m a bit apprehensive to start but I know I have to do this.

PenCreed · 07/09/2026 07:51

Week 2 starts today. I’ve lost 3kg in week one, which actually makes me doubt my scales more than anything. Still, there’s clearly been an impact. I’ve definitely noticed I don’t want to snack and my portions are smaller even when it’s my favourite meal! Side effects wise I’ve got off lightly, I have a slight headache but tbh that’s not infrequent anyway.

I was exactly the same. I was so scared to start as I expected to have horrible side effects.

However, it’s been absolutely fine. I’ve had a few minor digestive issues but nothing major and I feel like it is working. This AM for example, I literally couldn’t finish my breakfast.

Hope it all goes well!

LittleGreenDragons · 07/09/2026 10:04

I posted on the other thread - Day 3 and woke up with a bad headache so will aim to drink more today. I'm also hungrier 😬

Can I ask others who they order with and if they have to sign for the meds? I really don't want to stay in for several days while I wait for the postman. Would be even better if your company's package fits through the letterbox!

Me too! Guess we'll have them by Wednesday / Thursday? Good luck! Need to not undo the good work with wine....

Apsidistra · 07/09/2026 10:23

I ordered with Pharmacy2u first and their package fitted through the letter box, secondly with Numan and theirs didn’t fit through. Neither were signed for.

UncleColm · 06/09/2026 17:21

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.

I forgot there was half a carton of chocolate ice cream in the freezer. I also chose salad over pizza when out because I couldn't imagine wanting all that heavy dough & cheese when there was a light fresh choice. It really is like being a different person.

Sesame2011 · 07/09/2026 10:44

7 days in and 3lbs down 😀 on the 1.5mg and side effects have been very minimal. Was at a baby shower yesterday and I had ordered my meal like 2 months ago, pleased to see i had ordered bruschetta to start and salmon and potatoes for main. Was delicious but I was stuffed and then had to run to the toilet not long after 😅

itwasthegintalking · 07/09/2026 13:05

I’m coming up to the end of week two. Side effects are ongoing, mainly nausea and tiredness, bone crushing tiredness and waking in the night. Is this unusual? Will be likely get better?

Thank you. I was very surprised at having to sign for it but then thought it might be because it was classed as a medicine.

BlueTorch · 07/09/2026 14:54

I'm with Bolt and their package fits through our letterbox. No signing.

If anyone wants £40 off referral code please message me.

VictraBarca · 07/09/2026 16:56

oooh! My tablets will be here this evening so 🤞 I’ll be able to take the first one tomorrow morning

Holdonasec · 07/09/2026 21:35

Got my tablets today, so going to start this Saturday, just incase I get side effects. Im feeling nervous, excited, scared.

Wonderknicks · 07/09/2026 23:06

Boots here. They fit through the letterbox or you can pick them up from boots.

If Royal Mail are the courier, you can see in the app before hand when you track the delivery if it will need a signature. Just in case you didn’t know.

Holdonasec · 08/09/2026 06:39

If anyone wants to see where's cheapest to buy etc there's comparison site: ogovy.co.uk

Looking at other threads doing my research people use this and switch provider to keep costs lower.

I went with new health as it was the cheapest for 1.5mg

Excuse the rubbish spelling. I'm typing with out my glasses.

Callmecordelia · 08/09/2026 07:16

My pills are arriving today, planning on starting tomorrow morning - 1.5mg. It's a stressful week, DC has the 11+, but in a way it might be good to take it and avoid the stress eating? I've been trying to keep to a calorie deficit and small meals this week to test things out.

VictraBarca · 08/09/2026 08:08

Well that’s me in - taken my first tablet this morning!! 🤞🤞
