Slightly disappointed with this weeks loss, especially knowing how little I'm eating. But then I'm always a very slow looser which is probably why I give up most of the time. At least with Wegovy I'm not sitting thinking of all the delicious food that I've rejected just to loose half a pound, because those cravings are gone.
I do feel like my trousers are looser though.
On to week 3......

Started yesterday. Some mild nausea this morning, just feel like I've got too much saliva. I've cautiously eaten a protein yoghurt.

One of the reviews I read said it didn't work for her because she still felt hungry but couldn't eat because she always felt sick. Hopefully that isn't me, doesn't sound pleasant.

End of my first week today & I've lost 9lbs. BMI has gone from 38.3 to 36.6.

I'm over the moon as it hasn't felt difficult at all & I've luckily not suffered with any side effects. I did notice the effect wearing off slightly over the weekend but I still managed to not go back to my old eating habits. This drug is simply amazing!

What is it? I keep getting emails about it.

Every loss is still a loss. We have the extra battle of hormones, time of the month etc which play a factor in bloating and fluctuating weight. I'm feeling bloated this week, start of week 3 for me so trying to up my water intake help.

@RachBakesCakes amazing first week results BMI 35 on the horizon!

Hi can I join you?
I've just put an order in. I've taken ozempic before and lost two stone. Ive fell back into some really unhealthy habits which I need to change.
One thing I would say is eventually the highest does will stop working. I wish last time I'd not messed about with it and focused on eating healthy foods and getting the weight off quickly as I definitely only had a limited time before it stopped working.

Hi everyone, took my 3rd dose yesterday. Have been struggling with heartburn a bit and also am finding it’s not suppressing my appetite as much as it did the first week..
im looking forward to increasing the dose and hoping the ‘food noise’ disappears again as that was hand in heart the absolute best thing about this medicine!

I haven’t weighed myself yet, will do so next Monday. I’m hoping I’ve lost some weight as I’ve been eating significantly less…!

Also… I’ve definitely noticed that I have an awful night sleep the night I inject… really vivid dreams and restless… wonder if it’s a coincidence or related?!

Anyway, hope everyone else is doing well. Sorry if I sound a little bit negative, I think maybe I just thought I’d lose like a stone in a week 🤣 (I definitely haven’t haha)

Hi 👋🏻
wow amazing you’ve previously lost 2 stone, are you starting back on the lowest dose?
Really interesting to read that at some point it stops working…
did you change your diet or just carry on as normal but smaller portions? I feel like I need to be a LOT stricter with calorie counting!

Well done to everyone who has lost weight this week! You’re doing amazing!!

@Lovesthebeach Hi 👋
I think I went at it with the wrong mentality really what I should have done is used it as a crutch to make some long term changes to my diet.
I did lose weight but I was still eating the wrong things just getting away with it because I was eating so much less.

My experience is looking at it as a quick fix doesn't work. I've braved the scales this morning and I've put a stone and half of it back on. 🙈
Although I've been eating like a bear that's come out of hibernation so not surprising really!

I haven't taken any thing since July so I'm going to try the lowest dose and see how I go.

I think I am having some subtle appetite suppression already. I've only eaten a protein yoghurt this morning and usually my stomach would be growling by now and it isn't.

@troppibambini6 I think that’s where I’m going wrong and probably need to just overhaul my diet and accept I still need to ‘diet’ regardless of medication!

well done for braving the scales… you’ve done it once you can do it again!!

@AhBiscuits sounds like you’re having a good start so far…. :-)

Bugger, I dithered too long. Pharmacy2u are now out of the 0.25. They had it yesterday.

Anywhere else do it for £169? The others I've found are £199.

Can I join? And ask for some advice?

I’m just starting my sixth week, one month on 0.25 and now am a fortnight into my 0.5 dose.

I’m not feeling particularly “full” on any dose, albeit I don’t really get hunger pangs either. I am needing to take one day of sick leave every week to deal with stomach pain and intense vomiting. I think it’s because I’m still eating too much but the injections are slowing down my digestion. I don’t seem to be getting the “full” signal. There is no build up to this - I have 6 normal days and then one where I am ill for 1-2 days.

I know this is a known side effect so do I try and power through this or do I discontinue now?

You can bring the cost down a bit here by buying the 0.5 pen at the same time.

I'm not sure that sounds right, perhaps contact the GP or the prescribing online doctor? I know some people just don't get on with it but it's weird how your side effects are very regular.

Hey everyone,
It's really motivating to read about all the losses, I've taken my second dose today and am loving it so far, I never feel hungry and when I do think about food I don't get the urge to eat like I used to.

I'm going to weigh monthly though because I know there will be low loss weeks and my brain can't deal with that, I've fallen off so many diets after sticking to them religiously for a week to only lose half a pound so I need to eliminate that risk.
I'm feeling better already for not having a load of junk and sugar in my body and my sleep has massively improved, I do worry this is all too good to be true.

@Gingerlygreen that’s a good plan. I’ve prep become obsessed with the numbers on the scales; not ideal. I’m actually planning not to weigh myself anymore apart from if I have to in order to buy more pens. We’ll see.

Today I’ve been tired and not interested in food, no unpleasant side effects though. Today’s food: some prunes, porridge, orange juice, chicken salad roll, lentil soup, very small bowl of berries and skyr.

Mines arrived. What time of day is everyone injecting it? Tonight or wait till tomorrow?

Missed mine arriving today! I’ll be in for the postie tomorrow though. Am excited and nervous to start.

Have been using the last few days to refocus my eating habits, dropping the sugar, 3x modest meals a day. Also restarted my walking. God it is SO much harder at this size 😫

@Crazymadchickenlady I would crack on tonight. If you do feel a bit sick afterwards hopefully you might sleep through it?

Think mines coming tomorrow 🤞
