Wegovy started week ago

[Dynasty73]

First week weight in ,loss of 4 pound ,pleased with that as not found difficult
Now started second week hoping for same ,at present no side effects ,keep you updated.

@Tailfeather yes I am losing on 0.5, though the effect is very minimal, I can’t justify staying at this dose.

What a great feeling!!!

Has anyone stopped Wegovy and has put weight back on?
What are your experiences?

@Tailfeather I’m now on week 5 of 1mg and was originally just behind you on doses. I was also nervous but it’s been the best dose ever for minimal negative side effects and maximum appetite suppressant.
That said, I haven’t weighed myself yet as I’m still travelling for another week. But don’t feel that I have put anything on so still hoping for a loss.
The feeling of physically being full has also hit me on this dose so I have eaten less all round. Also haven’t been able to drink as much alcohol but weirdly when I have pushed it for festive cheer sakes, I’ve never felt so hangover free!?!
I have another week of 1mg and then I’ve already got 1.7 waiting else I might have stayed on 1mg depending on my loss when get home. I guess I could always count clicks. But all up, 1mg is my best dose this far.

@SofieM0 Thanks for the positive post! I just did the jab. Hope I have the same experience as you. Where are you? Are you somewhere lovely that will make us super jealous?!

@Tailfeather I hope the same too, let us know how you get on.
I am travelling for work unfortunately (with a few days holiday here and there) so not a lot to be jealous of! On a side note, I have been through numerous Asian and US airports with pens, gel packs and needles in hand luggage and it hasn’t been picked up once!

@SofieM0 I've had a few dizzy spells today (thought I was going to pass out at one point) and have been craving sugar. Wonder if it's affected my blood sugar levels.

Hi all

Took my first injection of 0.25 on Monday evening just before bed, woke up on Tues feeling horrendous, nauseous, headache, exhausted, haven't left the house, basically moving between bed and the sofa and still feeling the same today 😬

Did anyone else have a bad reaction?

Don't know whether to push through and continue with my next jab on Monday or to try and reduce the dose, although this is supposed to be the starting dose.

Anyone got any advice?

@WeeWeeGoGo Make sure you drink a lot of water and take electrolytes and apparently protein helps. I haven't actually felt too bad until now. Took my 1st 1mg this week and feel very dizzy. Your body does get used to it and side effects lessen.

@WeeWeeGoGo this is exactly how I was for the first couple of weeks. The best thing I found to help were to get the electrolytes tablets recommended upthread and do the jab just before bedtime to sleep off most of the side effects! I still feel a bit headachey a day afterwards, but now on 1mg with minimal side effects.

This week I've definitely felt like I've eaten loads... Then I check my calories on myfitnesspal and I'm well under. My plan is definitely to stay on 1mg for as long as it works.

I'm going to do the same. Especially as 1.7 is more expensive!!

@WeeWeeGoGo I was the same. I started on 0.5 and has severe nausea for 8 days. The thought of food and even water made me feel worse. But I forced myself to eat as my nurse said a minimum of 800 calories to maximum of 1000 per day. I'm not sure if it was the injection or the sudden change in calories that made me so ill. The anti-sickness tablets didn't work either. I lost 6lbs the first week. Had the 2nd jab and was fine the following day. Lost 2lbs that week.
Had my 3rd jab no real side effects. Weigh in is tomorrow.
Do you have anti-sickness tablets? They may work for you.
I hope you are feeling better soon.

Thank you for the replies.

I took an electrolyte tablet yesterday and today after a very small lunch (Greek salad with feta), it didn't seem to do anything 😬 but I'll keep with it.

I'm having to force food down, I'm guessing I'm eating around 1000 - 1200 cals per day but I'm probably not eating enough protein so I'll try and increase that.

Definitely drinking enough though thankfully.

Hey everyone, jumping on.

been considering wegovy for the last few weeks. Looking into costs ect and seeing if I can afford it.

anyone whose in it,

can you let me know how much you’ve lost since losing?

I only seem to see posts from people who are at the beginning and 3 weeks. I’d like to know results say a month and longer?

Hi,

There are lots of posts on here from people who've been on a while - a quick scroll showed me people losing 22 pounds in 8 weeks, 19pounds in 12 weeks and 25pounds in 9 weeks - and there's another thread on this board about wegovey with more which might help!

I for one am only 2 months in and have lost 13pounds so far.

Keeping my eye on this thread as buying on payday!
currently 5ft 1” and 13.3stone 😔

3rd 1ml taken this morning.
Only 1 pd loss but I did have mcdonalds and a curry this week 😬. 16 pds total so far.
I'll see what next week is saying, then decide whether to get the 1.7ml or stay on 1ml for another month.
im using the Nutracheck app alongside it, tracking helps keep on top of things, plus it's building a good habit for when I eventually come off the meds 🙏🏽.

@Mookie81 How have you feel on 1mg? It's the first dose I've struggled with side effects.

I’m on week 9 (week 10 starts on Monday) and decided to weigh in today as it’s officially 2 months since I started & I’ve lost 21.6lbs so far.

That is incredible! Well done. Do you mind sharing what your start was weight?

what does your day look like food wise?

I took my fourth injection of 1mg yesterday, so it's my final week on this dose and I'll be moving up to 1.7 on the 19th.

I have lost 28lbs since starting Wegovy 10 weeks ago, and a total of 78lbs since my highest weight. I'm officially overweight (BMI 29.8) and I was shocked to realised that my hips are now the size that my waist was when I started Wegovy.

Veering into the TMI now - sorry! I have been suffering with daily diarrhoea for a couple of weeks now, which I put down to a combination of things: the medication, a lack of fibre, and a recent effort to drink a lot more water. However, a couple of things have made me realise that the diarrhoea is probably a reaction to extreme constipation and my usual remedies aren't going to fix it, so I bought a box of Movicol from Boots this morning. I'm two sachets in and that stuff is disgusting - wish me luck 😭

I am having one day per week of diarrhoea then lucky if I manage another poo in the same week. It messes with my weigh ins, so unsure of actual loss. Since Tuesday (last diarrhoea day) I have gained 0.35kg plus I have my period so hopefully behind the scenes I am losing as I usually gain 4lb when I'm due on. However 9lbs in 3 weeks is still good so I am happy 😊

I'm 10 weeks in on Monday (2nd jab of 1mg) and have lost 20lbs, so exactly on an average of 2lbs a week which is what I wanted. I check my calories and protein intake and make a conscious effort to drink lots of water.

@FlopFlaps I take it every 10 days & have also stayed on the 0.5 for a second pen.
I started 07/11(similar to @Tailfeather I think) & have lost 25lbs - very little side effects. For me it just makes things easier no snacking & healthy meals that's I don't normally finish.
I have been on holiday & had Christmas so I am happy with losing at this rate.
For info my healthy BMI starts at a 70lbs loss

Not bad at all.
Slight queasiness, bit of constipation. The effects still seem to wear off near the end of the week.
