Just Injected Wegovy 7.2mg

I have just injected my first dose of Wegovy 7.2mg. It's a bit scary with it being three times the previous dose of 2.4mg.

I switched over from Mounjaro and have done 2 pens of 1.7mg and 3 pens of 2.4mg. I have been tolerating them well after the first pen and briefly on moving up a dose but an not losing.

I lost around 4stone 7 on Mounjaro and have another 1 stone 7 to go to get to a BMI of 24.

I found the pen tricky. You get 4 single use pens each with the needle attached. You have to press it firmly against your skin and hold until the yellow bar in the window stops moving. I found it tricky to press hard enough to get it going, even though I pinched first. I did stomach and I am quite squidgy so might try the thigh next week as that will be firmer.

When I moved the pen there was a drop of blood mixed with some of the medication on my skin so I don't know if I got it all. I had been pressing hard though as there was an indentation in my skin where the pen had been pressed. Hopefully it will be easier the second time.

Anyway, lets see what happens next. I have planned some easy to digest meals in case of side effects and will be avoiding fat and alcohol and eating small meals. I really hope it kickstarts my weightloss.

Anyone tried/on 7.2mg? How is it going? How did you find the pen?

Can’t help with this specific strength but don’t worry anout the blood- so many blood vessels it’s easy to catch one. Won’t affect its efficacy

@Scarlettpixie just wanted to wish you well and hope it's going ok for you so far. It's really interesting and useful to hear about the range of experiences of people on different types of WLI and different doses.

Thanks both. I woke and felt a little nauseous around 1am, dozed and woke again around 4 with a banging headache. Had a weetabix (in case of low blood sugar) a glass of water (in case of dehydration) and some paracetamol. I was able to get back to sleep around 6am and feel fine this morning 🙂

I weighed in this morning for a new starting weight. I am 12st 8.8 which is the lowest I got to back in June. Since then I have been loosing and gaining the same 2-3lb.

CW 12st 8.8 12/10/26
Mini Goal 12st 4lb (which will be 5 stones)
GW 11st 4 - 11 st 9 (BMI 24-25)
