Hi. I have been on Wegovy since the beginning of December, and I am currently on my 3rd lot - 1mg. I lost weight quickly in the first 5 weeks but seems to have plateaued. I was ill most of Christmas due to some virus and I did dry January which I guess helped. Have lost 10lb in 10 weeks - was hoping for better results. I'm on 150mg of Thyroxine T4 and 60 micrograms of liothyronine sodium - T3. It was my Endocrinologists who suggested Weygovy - that or cut a leg off to lose weight 😜as I fast regularly - 16-18 hours 3 times a week, count calories. Do a minimum of 40 minutes of exercise daily, cold water swim - the list goes on on. I have struggled with my weight for 26 years since being diagnosed with hypothyroidism - I used to be a nice size 10 - cat walk model and now hover around a size 18.
I found the nausea the worst in the first 4 weeks, plus the headaches and now the constipation. I struggle to understand how many calories you are supposed to be eating, the appetite curbing works sometimes but not every day. I get my prescription from Boots which provides access to all sorts of information - the diet sheets are a joke though. I have joined a couple of webinars but have yet to learn anything new. It would be good if soon could just say, you need to stick to a carb-free diet and 1200 calories max, no alcohol or something like that. I do worry about the body going into a starvation mode like on a crash diet though.
I love carbs, so I guess I'm going to have to cut them out next, try and keep calories to 1200 or less and increase activity. Not much option I think.
I'm pleased I lost weight as this is the first time in years, but I think it will be a major struggle to keep the weight going down - I was hoping that as my weight decreases the T3/T4 would help accelerate it - no sign of that happening yet.
How have you got on @Tailfeather ?
