Starting Wegovy this week

[Gogodonu]

Brand new waiting for 0.25ml wegovy to be delivered today and will start it tomorrow.

i currently weigh 14’7 at 5’6 and would love to lose 4 stone!

anyone else brand new to wegovy and looking for a buddy/chat?

Thanks

Hi everyone, I've been reading the thread and really appreciate reading everyone's experiences.
I started wegovy just now! I'm at 13 stone 6 and need to get down to around 10.5 stone to be in the healthy range.
I'm really excited! I managed to put on nearly 2 stone in the last year and have not been able to get into a healthy routine to sort it. I'm hoping this will give me the boost I need.

I previously was obese, in my 20s but shifted the weight with WW and exercise, then normal calorie counting. Something changed since then, as I just haven't had the mental fortitude this time to do it.

Hey @JennyBeanR !!! I started last night with my first dose too! Welcome and let's do this!!!!

Welcome @JennyBeanR
We are diet twins. I'm 13st 5 and need to get to 10st 5. I was also obese in my 20s and lost it with WW. I've yoyoed a few times but just don't seem to be able to lose it again this time.
Fingers crossed this works for us both.

Thanks everyone, I've pretty much been smiling all morning 😊

@AhBiscuits, it's nice to have a diet twin 😁 Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.

Definitely wearing off now. The snack trolley is looking very appealing. Next jab due tomorrow.

Very motivating to see everyone's losses and welcome to the new people.

I've taken my 3rd one today and other than feeling a bit tired I'm OK but that might be down to other stresses.

I'm still planning to weigh monthly so have no idea if I've lost or how much, I've pretty much cut out all the junk and sugar I was eating so at least I'm healthier if nothing else.

I've read that there are more than 4 doses in the pen and wondered if anyone can confirm or deny it? I'm tempted to see if I can get an extra week out of it but also need to make sure I order the next one in time.
I've taken a photo to show my pen after 3 doses taken out (I'm on 0.25)

Pic of my pen....

I have heard the pen has extra in it too. Given that my side effects have been minimal, I might give myself another 0.25 on the last shot if I can so that I do 5 weeks at 0.5.

Du one and the headaches and slight nausea are reminding me of my pregnancies!

There are actually 8x 0.25 doses - the pen holds the same amount as 4x 0.5 doses.

I'm 6.5 months into Ozempic and have gone from 13st 2 to 9st 11. All on 0.25 and 0.5. Although I definitely feel the hunger again I've got better at ignoring it and when I do eat my appetite is much smaller.

i took my 4th dose of W yesterday. There was a little amount left in the pen after. Not as much as a full dose.

Wow! I thought maybe an extra dose or two but not 4.

Do you know if they will prescribe the 0.5 two weeks late? I'm thinking if I use the remainder to do two x0.5 doses that there will be a fortnight gap in my ordering but also don't want to throw away £100 worth of Wegovy!

My 0.25 pen had an extra dribble in it. Definitely not even 1 extra dose.

Interesting - I've just been moved onto Wegovy but have gone onto 1.0 so csnt check the 0.25 version of Wegovy. Maybe they've got wise to it

Yes, my 0.25 pen had barely anything, just a dribble, after the 4th dose.

Well, I had a work event at our lawyers' offices tonight and I had three glasses of champagne and quite a lot of canapés. I was a bit greedy! So I haven't been brilliant.

Then again I only had a small lunch and didn't even realise until lunchtime that I hadn't even had breakfast, so... 🤣 I keep feeling a little disappointed that I feel utterly fine but I am reminding myself that it has only been a few days and it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Can't believe it I lost 7 pounds in my first week! Probably mostly water but I do feel better for it and not as breathless. Just done my second injection.

It's taking all my will power to not weigh early. But I know of the results are good I'll relax and starting eating treats. And if the results are bad I'll think fuck it and start eating treats 😂

Maybe I'll just not weigh at all!

Oh my god!! That’s brilliant! Well done

lol that is sooo my mentality!! Keep strong lol

I'm 90+% of the time not eating sugar and flour (still eating carbs including fruit), or UPFs.

I've heard that when we don't eat these foods, our gut flora/microbiome alters so we don't crave it as much - the bad bacteria love sugar and want more of it, but the good ones do well with whole foods.

So I'm hoping that will mean I can make permanent improvements.

Eating well feels 100x easier on wegovy than it did without, so trying to make the most of it!

Really impressed hearing about everyone's successes!
