[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

That's an amazing amount @221BBakerSt

I'm happy with my loss too but stomach feels queasy. Almost like a really badly hungover feeling, you know when you just feel sick. I had some soup at lunchtime. I could happily eat nothing else today but need to try and eat something.

It's so weird going from one extreme, thinking about food every minute of the day, to being really not bothered about eating at all, but long may it continue!

It's all gone a bit wrong this week. It is most likely rhe reaction I have to all diets, to sabotage a few weeks in. I've eaten terrible things. Chinese take away, biscuits, half a tin of twiglets, chocolate, big roast dinner. I feel so full up and gross. But not unwell enough for it to teach me a lesson. Hopefully just a blip. Back on track tomorrow.

@AhBiscuits hope you’re feeling a bit better…it’s just so weird not being hungry isn’t it!

@EatingTillIDie sounds like you’ve had a tricky week… what dose are you on at the moment? Hopefully just a little blip and you’ll get back on it!

@221BBakerSt your weight loss is amazing!!!

Well done!!!

@221BBakerSt you have lost an amazing amount of weight.
It is good to read about everyone’s progress and what issues people are having.
I have had my 4th injection of 0.25 this week - I took it 2 days late as I had some constipation that I wanted to sort out first. But not had any other side effects.
week 1 - lost 4lb
week 2 - 0 loss
week 3 - lost 4lb

so for saying I haven’t really made an effort diet wise and been on several Christmas nights out and large family meals, I am pleased to have lost 8lbs. I am thinking about food more again so will go up to 0.5 dose next injection and after Christmas, I will focus on trying to eat healthy but smaller portions and less calories. I have a lot to lose, but now under 17stone so going the right way.

That's a good loss @hellsbells99

I feel OK today but haven't eaten anything yet. I've been looking at a banana on my desk for an hour, might start nibbling that.
I've decided I'm definitely skipping my Christmas day dose and will start again on 1st. I have so much on that week, I don't want to spend it feeling sick. Hopefully missing a week won't result in more side effects once I restart.

Thanks @AhBiscuits
Because I took this weeks dose 2 days late, I am going to take my next one the day after Boxing Day so Christmas dinner won’t be affected!
The major benefit I am finding is that I am not eating all evening like I was. My DH works shifts so I am often on my own in the evening and then tend to raid the snack box.

Has anyone else gained weight on Wegovy? I’m on week 4 of 0.25mg and up 2lbs. I want to cry with frustration

I’ve just taken my last dose of 0.25 and 0.50 is waiting for me at Boots.

I’m down 11lbs in three weeks but last week I had much hungrier (also on my period). I’m looking forward to the higher dose. I’ll take my higher dose a couple days before Christmas, which I’m happy with. I don’t really enjoy Christmas food, and the expectation that you drink and eat a lot so I’m happy my body won’t let me!

Gosh that's unusual and unfair! Have you been eating less?

I haven’t gained but I haven’t really lost either.
I just don’t think 0.25 is enough for me, I go up to 0.5 at Christmas and hope that makes a difference.

It's so weird how differently it effects people, just highlights how different bodies are.

I think there is a danger I will lose nothing on this if I don't focus on eating less. I've found I can still binge. Not as badly as before but still likely o er eating calories. The side effects are not enough to stop me. Looking forward to going up to 0.5 next week. I'm going to dose whatever is left in my pen on Monday on my last 0.25 see if I can get a little extra out of it. Today I was able to avoid eating badly. Had one sandwich for lunch (2 slices of bread, my usual would be 4 slices) and for dinner was a modest plate of salad and I am not hungry at all. I just need to rid my house of bad food, which is tricky at Christmas time! I have gained a few lb this week, think I've undone all the good work of the first 2. At least I know I can't get away with the crap I usually eat and expect to get results!!

I've just taken my first 0.5 dose. Anyone else find that the needle hurts more some weeks / a bit more each week?

@OhpoorMe yes some weeks it really stings. I actually have a bruise from this weeks!

Due my second 0.5 tomorrow. Today is the first day where I feel able to eat without the fear of being sick. Apprehensive about taking my next shot but I will. 😅
I don't know what tomorrow's weigh in will hold, it's my birthday today and we're out for lunch.

I've not eaten in over 24 hours after my first 0.5 dose and not the slightest bit hungry. So weird

I’ve just ordered 0.25 from pharmacy4u today… well pending a consultant reviewing my profile apparently! Hopefully it’s legitimate! Plan is to order now but start straight after Christmas as worried it might go out of stock! I have about 2.5 stone to lose so feeling excited this could be the magic I’ve been missing for the past few years!

I’m also seriously considering ordering now to begin in the New Year, is that possible? Worried about stock levels come January. Where is the best place to order from are they all much of a muchness?

Hi everyone, just ordered my 3rd pen. I’ve decided to do another 4 weeks at 0.5 as I seem to be responding really well to this dose and my hunger is controlled and food noise is barely there at all! Hoping I’ve made the right decision… thought it best to stay on a lower dose as it gives me more scope to increase as the months go on?!

I have been using pharmacy 2 u. They’ve been really good so far. Usually approve the order within 24 hours or so and delivery is really quick.

also I just used discount code 623QSD for 10% off so it cost £155.55 including postage :-)

Morning all, had my first shot of 0.5 last night and I am feeling hit hard by it. So I'm a bit nervous about what the week will bring in terms of fatigue and nausea, especially as it's Christmas, I'm working and I just have so much to do.

I did the maths just now. In the first month I've lost 11lbs. Very few if any side effects from four weeks at 0.25, though I did develop a UTI over the weekend which apparently can be attributed to Wegovy and was frankly miserable. I would definitely pay £190 to lose 11lbs; a colleague mentioned to me already that I'd lost weight (I'm not offended that she commented; we have shared dieting tips before!) so it's clearly enough to be visible.

I just want to start the new year in a better place than I usually do.

I took my 4th 0.25 dose early so I wouldn’t be going up on Christmas Day. I had some left in the syringe probably around 5 clicks so I took that at the same time.
It has affected me significantly more than the 0.25, probably because I took it early too.
i have vomitted and feel very queasy. I don’t think I’ll do the whole 0.5 come Saturday as I’m worried about side effects.

I did brilliantly on 0.25 and was also hit hard moving up to 0.5 - first 3 doses or so had me sulphur burping, nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting on days 2 and 3 - I learned to take it very easy on the food and drink intake on days 1-3 and came through the other side.

I stayed on 0.5 for months due to the shortage and recently was sent a 1 pen - I did 0.75 for the first 2 and started suffering again (although wasn't sick) so not going up to 1 any time soon. I've just received my next pen which is 1.7 😆 - will not be happening!
