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

Anyone thirsty from it?! I took my first dose this morning and I'm noticeably thirstier today!

Same as every other diet be it slimming world, fasting, Atkins or lighter life etc, most people do regain when they stop. Which is why it's really important to get into good habits and use the low appetite and lack of cravings to really overhaul our lifestyle so that when we all stop then we won't put it all back on.

The regain rates are no worse than for those who lose weight by any other method

That's a very good point. I suppose it's akin to paying for a gym membership or something

Just googled Wegovy and thirst and I've scared myself! It says to contact a health provider. I already have anxiety, now I'm scared! 😱

End of my first week and I've lost 2kg. I feel like I could be eating better and doing more exercise though, so I'm going to try to put in a bit more effort this week.

@Shewhobecamethesun ooh baked potato with cheese & beans is a good shout thanks. I like how I can eat a semi normal diet just smaller portions, don't feel as though I'm missing out

Hi all, great to see so many Wegovy newbies here!

I am on day 2 today. Have felt fine except a mild headache. I have 4 st to lose. Using MFP to track calories and trying to get into better food habits as part of the process.

Well done, 2kg is great!

It says to get help if you're dehydrated with other symptoms like dizziness or lightheadedness. As long as you keep up your fluids up & don't get dehydrated you'll be fine. Keep a water bottle with you & remember to sip it regularly or have a sports drink with electrolytes if you feel like you're getting dehydrated.

Loads of people on the FB group like
I've been on this 2 weeks and ain't lost nothing. Waste of £200 😡

I'm all set for my first jab on Monday. Resubscribed to Nutracheck, got a tesco delivery of healthy shit booked, planning where I can fit in a few walks, will weigh myself and take a photo, mentally preparing for slow and steady progress.
Let's do this.

@Mybestusername well done in the 2kg loss!

hi to anyone that I’ve missed joining….

im coming to the end of my second week. I’ve found I’ve been a bit hungrier this week but was out for dinner last night and only ate about half of what I usually would… so something is definitely working..

i think so much of my food intake is psychological… so I guess it’s going to take a while to retrain my brain…. I’m hoping injection no3 reduces the food noise again… it makes me feel like a normal person not obsessed with food!

think I will start calorie counting and using nutracheck next week… so far have just been eating whatever but smaller portions… defo need some more fruit and veg in my life!

Anyway, hope everyone is doing good and has a lovely weekend planned :-)

Also sorry I’m new to posting on here… how do u reply to someone’s post but it quotes their post on your post if you get what I mean lol.

@AhBiscuits what fb group are you on? I joined a uk one and it seems quite negative compared to everyone’s experiences I’ve. Wen reading about on here?

From a mobile phone browser- @Lovesthebeach press the three dots to the upper right of the post and click quote.

Thank you so much 😊😊

This one. It's OK, a bit negative, but who am I to judge, I might be moaning with them soon.

I haven't joined a face but group, though I'd like to join one to learn from others' experiences. But surely it will show up on my friends' timelines saying I have joined the XX Wegovy weight loss group? Doesn't Fb do that to encourage people to consider groups their friends are in? I haven't told anyone I'm on this and certainly don't want to broadcast it on social media.

New to the thread... name changed out of shame for what I've let happen to myself 😫... I weighed myself today for the first time in over a year...

I'm 250lbs at 5'5".

I feel like I've totally lost control of myself around food over the course of some very difficult times emotionally. And have become inactive in a sort of traumatised freeze state too.

I'm exhausted all the time, get out of breath so easily, nothing fits me, my sleep is terrible and I suspect I've developed sleep apnoea too.

My plan is:

• Wegovy ordered to arrive on Tuesday
• Restart my old walking habit
• One PT session a week
• Mindless Chef for dinners, yogurt and apple for brekkie, scrambled egg on toast for lunch (or similar)

I'm just so in shock today. Need a hand hold...

@MyGodMyThighs
Firstly, brilliant user name 😂
Secondly - stop beating yourself up. Life has happened to you. Stress. You have coped in a way that doesn’t damage anyone else (like alcohol, drugs) etc, but that damages you - food.
You are not at fault. This is not a moral failing. Be kind to your lovely self.

Your plan sounds good. I ordered myself a 2l water bottle too, to help remind me to down gallons of the stuff.

@MyGodMyThighs Yes I agree no point beating ourselves up. Life stresses plus a commercial world equals excess weight. Thankfully advances in medicine also mean there are options like semaglutide.

I'm on day 2 of week two and have just finished my dinner of steak and chips. Only ate half of it and not only do I feel full but I'm not interested in eating anything else. Miracle!!

Eeeek…. I hope it doesn’t show up in my fb…. I don’t want anybody to know what I’m up to….. too many judgemental people out there….!

@MyGodMyThighs love your username! Welcome to the thread…. It sounds like you’ve been through a hard time x
You’ve got a good plan ready to go, you can totally smash this!!!

The one I posted is a private group so it won't show up on your feed and only other members can see who's in it.

Thank you @FiveCows @Superlambaanana @Lovesthebeach. The last decade has been incredibly hard and the last three years particularly so, at times utterly terrifying. Not totally out of the woods yet but have support and as a family we are so much stronger.

New water bottle sounds like a great idea @FiveCows, might splash out on a hydroflask!

Did you guys start on 0.25 or 0.5?
