Wegovy tablets not working as anticipated

I have been taking wegovy tablets for about 3 weeks (1.5mg). The first 2 weeks, my eating was under control and I lost a few pounds. Since then, my eating has been poor- bad choices, snacking and overeating and my mental attitude to this has been ‘who cares’. I have ordered the next dose 4mg already so will start taking that in a few days but I feel pessimistic about this medication working for me. I understand that its very early days but would be keen to know of others experiences.?

Don't you need to make good choices too?
I'm on wegovy jabs and still have to watch what I eat.

I think a few weeks into any diet of any sort can be the point that people can waver and find their resolve disappearing. Certainly I think that when on the lower doses of GLP1s what you eat can hinder the medication in a way. If you get into a cycle of blood sugar spikes and troughs, it can weaken the effect.

I think pessimism is not warranted at this stage, as the medication is still building in your system and you have the ability to move up to 9mg and 25mg too if the 4mg doesn't start to kick in.

At 1.5 they did nothing for me either, i actually put on weight. Started 4 a couple of days ago… massive difference downside is i feel a bit sick and lightheaded hoping its not the pills and / or i get used to them.

Might want to try Slimpod alongside to work on habits and mindset alongside the medication?
