Hi
Just started wegovy today. I'm 14st 8 currently, and miserable!
I've felt slightly nauseous today, but it has seemed to cut down all snacking. And I wasn't that bothered about my meals. Which is unlike me!

Anyone started today or starting this week, who wants someone to go through the same journey with!?

I have moved to 0.5mg after 4 weeks on 0.25mg, but it’s great that the lower dose is working so well for you!

I updose to 0.5 tonight. This last week on 0.25 has been harder, in that my appetite has started to come back. Chocolate (my downfall) has been involved this week when I couldn't even think about it for the first three weeks on 0.25.

Fingers crossed for the updose - without too many side effects!

Hi all, did you get this prescribed by Drs? Is there a criteria you need to meet to get it on NHS?

Ignore my last message. Did some research and seems it's unlikely on NHS. Have decided to give it a go through boots. Waiting to get the go ahead and collect the meds!

Morning.

Just injected 3rd dose of 0.25, I have gone against advice and decided to inject every 6 days as the noise creeps back in on day 6.

Using Wegovy as I went into surgical menopause at 33 and gained weight from 11st to 13.5st and hated myself!

I am still weighing every 7 days and taking that as my loss, but I did jump on this morning and I’m down to 12st.12 from 13st.5 in just under 3 weeks so I’m hoping by Saturday (official weigh day) that it will be half a stone.

I almost feel like I have morning sickness when cooking tea but only the first couple of days after injecting, and I have heartburn, all of which is manageable with Gaviscon.

Other than that feeling good and looking forward to stepping up to 0.5. 😊
