Starting Wegivy any tips or advice

[Thegirlwithnousername]

I have just requested my first prescription of Wegovy infection!
Any tips or information before I start?
I have a big amount to loose so hoping this will help!
Thank you

Go for it! Best thing i ever did for myself.

Join a new starters thread on here.

Do you have any specific questions?

I will join one when ai actually start.. I just wanted kind of like do I need to take vitamins on top and what ones? Best sites for injecting? How bad was the side effects? Nervous but excited to start!

Side effects are different for everyone. I had some reflux and occasionally mild headaches.

I was injecting stomach. However, its now flat so will soon switch to my curvy thighs. I always lose weight there last.

Plan meals around nutrition. Sometimes I eat when not hungry. Lots of protein.
I'm taking multi vits and more recently collagen.

Your prescriber should give you lots of information about how to take the medication and how to support your weight loss whilst taking it.

There are a couple of long running threads you might be interested in posting on, depending on how much weight you have to lose. There’s a 5st or more thread, and a 10st or more to lose thread. That’s where I post the most now. The monthly starter threads are great, but when other people drop off because they’re already at their goal it can be a bit dispiriting and then the thread eventually gets abandoned!

I’m in the same boat, just filled out the form on line and waiting to collect my first prescription! I’ve a lot to lose too - ideally 10 stone, I’m so nervous about it but something has to change.

Thank you, I went with med express so hopefully they will!
It should be delivered by Tuesday!
Thanks for the advice.
I was nervous to start incase I had terrible symptoms while at work!
Will take a look at the threads mentioned thanks

I have more than 10stone to loose..I did well on SW but came off it and put a lot of it back on!
Fingers crossed for us both!

I’d keep the first few weeks fairly simple and follow the dosing and guidance you’ve been given rather than trying to change lots of things at once. Having easy meals, keeping hydrated and giving yourself time to see how your body responds can make the beginning feel much less overwhelming. Good luck with it

@EmilyRavenshaw what weight loss medication are you taking? How have you found the process so far?

Are you alright there @EmilyRavenshaw ? You seem to be malfunctioning a bit....
