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.

Took my 2nd injection last night and discovered my weight had gone UP on my daily weigh in this morning 😭 Has anyone else had this?

Think I need to start calorie counting and eating regular meals, albeit small ones and accept the first rush of weight loss was too good to be true!

Hi, I took first injection last night and woke up this morning...feeling no different including thoughts on waking...which were about food!

I’m due my second jab tomorrow night. Weighed myself yesterday and I was 3lbs down. To be honest I think it’s more to do with the calorie counting as I’ve been going to bed hungry every evening. Hoping to feel the effects more in week 2 🤞🏼

I lost about 5 pounds within the first week.of taking it but that was purely down to the nausea side effect not the actual drug working.
It was similar to like when you feel sick or heartbroken and you have no appetite. So basically nausea seems to be the only thing that stops me from eating, I actually think if I just had a medication that made me feel nauseous constantly, then I would lose a shit load of weight!

collected Mine from Boots today - took my first dose tonight .

Me!!! I lost 2lb then put one back on again after only eating about 900kcal a day!!!! Ffs

I just finally ordered from Boots. I like to collect rather than have delivered so I always go with them.

I was on saxenda for 8 months and then the stock ran out and I didn't reorder in time. So have been off it for about 8 months. I put on some of the weight again but not all. I need a push now to get back on track.

£199 a month is a real stretch for me though. I can only commit to 6 months max.

Fingers crossed for us all!

I'm 50 in spring and I can't start the decade obese!

@BackT that is the same as me, can maybe afford 6 months (if it works for me) and am 50 in spring too, but have decided I need to invest in myself as it will boost my confidence and maybe get me back 'out there' to be more sociable and restart exercising rather than hiding away. I've always been really active and this body does not feel like it is mine.

I weighed myself today as a starting point 15 st ☹️. I'm conscious I don't want to lose weight too fast without doing some sort of 'toning' exercises as ageing skin does not spring back as well, so am going to get some dumbbells to hopefully help.

Is everyone keeping a food diary? I watched a couple of the boots videos, I haven't started a food diary yet...it's on my to-do list though.

@Edinburgal how has your week been?

@FattyPattyBumBum it's awful isn't it! Time to invest in myself. I have a full on job and I can't afford to feel shitty but I was ok on saxenda so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@Starlightstarbright2 How are you feeling?

I start tonight. Feeling nervous but excited.

@FattyPattyBumBum iv not found it too bad at all. I did have a pizza last night (no chips though!) and as the weeks gone on, i have had some snacks but far less than usual eg. Husband opened a big bag of crisps and I took a small handful rather than a bowl, or I have had a can of coke yesterday and today. But its not like before eg. With the crisps, i was happy just having 4 or 5 and then that was that, before, id eat all of my share and then maybe a few buscuits or whatever was in the cupboard. Iv been eating smaller portions too but much the same really for meals. I dont think my meals are too bad, its mostly home cooked etc its the snacking. Id like to eat less carbs so i need to think about things i could have as an accompaniment next time im at the supermarket. I need to get in a routine of the same time to weigh myself each week but i think iv lost 2 pounds. I was 13 stone 12 a week ago. I would be happy if i lost 2lb a week. To think that would mean id be 12 and a half stone by xmas if i can stick to it. Wow, it seems unbelievable. In a way im finding it quite boring now. I think i snack because im bored. I wonder what other people do when they are bored? I wonder whether il feel more of an urge after tomorrows jab or if it will top me up?

Have you still found its not taken affect yet?

Sorry this is TMI but just had roast beef with yorkshire puddings for dinner and had to run to the toilet. Iv now read that high fat content foods should be avoided. Im guessing it must have been the oil for the yorkshires? Anyway, avoid.

Lol I've just had roast lamb and even though mainly veg, I've got mild tummy ache so maybe it is working.

I am not sure I feel much different tbh ..

I had a small lunch - meat and veg for tea and just ate crisps .. I have made a conscious effort to drink more water today .. no real side effects though.

I have work tomorrow .. so will see how I go tomorrow .

I also had a Fitbit arrive today I bought on prime day in the hope it encourages me to increase my steps ..

@Starlightstarbright2 I just dug my Fitbit out!

Let's do this!

(Although I still haven't actually done it! Will do shortly...!).

First injection done.

@Tailfeather hopefully you don’t get side effects .

see if I can get a decent step count tomorrow .

I sleep really badly - one of many reasons I need to lose weight so might take Fitbit off at night don’t need reinforcing I sleep badly

Gah, weighed myself again and I am up again. Lost 6.6lbs the first week, then this second week have 'put' 2.2lbs of that back on- obviously some of the first 6.5 was water weight and I'm still 4.4lbs down but why am I going up slightly again?? I am not eating anymore. Arguably less! Do I need to have diarrhoea to lose weight??!

Oh no @EweCee . That's frustrating.

Stick with it. The starting dose is just 10% of the full dose.

I started last night.

Finally got my prescription picked up. Starting tonight. Looking forward to silencing the food noise!

Anyone find the second week hasn't had the same effect at the first ?

I injected on Saturday morning and felt the effects 'wear off' on Wednesday. I lost 4lb so still happy with that.

Took my second dose on Friday night (in case of side effects). The food noise seems to be back and no loss of appetite. I'm still mindful of what I'm eating, but did notice I was able to eat much more yesterday than usual.

I'm looking forward to upping to 0.5mg. Has anyone done this sooner than the recommended 4 weeks ?

Hoping in to join in with you all soon. Ordered from Boots last Tuesday, but still not had to text to say the delivery is there. I chased on Friday, and they said to give it 72 hours. Fingers crossed I can go get it today.

@tootiredtothink i’m very similar, although not too bothered by food noise, except at night. But haven’t lost weight in 2nd week yet. Only on 2nd injection though so still another 2 to go until I move to 0.5.

Last week I didn’t exercise (because of headaches, fatigue and diarrhoea!) but went back today - and boy did I find it hard! Dizzy and nauseous- I can only attribute it to the Wegovy?

Thanks @EweCee, guess I should be patient and let it build up over the 4 weeks instead of trying to jump ahead.

Hope the side effects go soon!

I have am about 10lbs overweight and just cannot ever seem to get below this for more than a few weeks! It is so frustrating. I slimmed down from a BMI of 30 to around 26 over about 5 years and have maintained around my current weight for another 5. But I really struggle to get below this and its still overweight. I am not sure I would be considered overweight enough to get Wegovy- is anyone else on with a similar amount of excess weight?
