You need to talk to the dentist as I read then you have increased chance of complications. It slows down your metabolism so it's going to effect how you metabolise anaesthetic. So they at least need to know you're on it.

@Kelsie78 I'm due to start 1.0 today too, really unsure....
Incidentally, 8 weeks in and loss = 16.2 pounds 😊

@ohpoorMe thank-you yes I will speak to the dentist and will enquire with boots doctor to see what they think. I may have to stop a weeks or some thing thanks again

@Annwithout that is fantastic! Well done!

Ooops I'm finding it hard to get my head around how to reply on here so sorry if I've done it wrong and replied to the wrong person. But well done everyone for your weight losses! 🤪

Could anyone please explain the clicks on the pen? I'm about to order a 1mg but I'd like to do 2 weeks at 0.75 but not sure how to work it out.

Hi everyone, quick update, I'm going to take my second 1mg dose tonight. So far I've lost 13.4 pounds since I started the last week of November. I'm really pleased with the progress, but I am fed up of being tired all the time.
Not sure if I should get bloods checked but I'm just exhausted everyday. I've been attributing it to wegovy but am also worried it's anaemia.

I've just injected 0.75 and did 55 clicks.

Start weight - 13st 7.8
1 -2.2

1. -3
2. -2.2
3. -2.8
4. -1.2
5. -4.2
6. -0.2
7. -0.8
8. -1.4

Total: 18lbs Current weight - 12st 3.8

So it is going well, even though I feel like it's not doing anything lately. I have injected 0.75 today, up from 0.5, so I'm hoping I will feel the effects a bit more this week.

ahbiscuits thank you, I will click away 😀

@AhBiscuits Which pen is that? I'm sure mine don't have that many clicks.

Well done!!!

1mg Wegovy.

Wow! I do mine tomorrow (full whack of 1mg). I'll count the clicks out of interest!

I’ve just done 0.75 thank u for the click chart @AhBiscuits

im gonna see how I get on, if I’ve still got lots of food noise this week I’ll increase to 1.0 next week! Hoping 0.75 works though as I’ll get an extra dose out the pen 😊

@AhBiscuits brilliant losses!!

@Secretsout good luck with 0.75 let me know how you get on as we are at the same stage!

@Tailfeather i will be watching out for your posts to see how u go on the 1.0

@JennyBeanR I would maybe go get a blood test just to rule it out if you’re feeling proper tired. I know this time of year everyone is low on vitamin d and that gives you energy so might be worth taking some of that?

@Annwithout did you decided to go with the 1.0?

sorry if I’ve missed replying to anyone, it’s tricky on my phone as I have to keep scrolling back and forth x

some excellent losses reported here 😁well done all

I have just ordered my 0.50mg pen, I have one dose left of my first 0.25mg pen which I will take tomorrow. Just curious whether others have used 0.50mg pen for 0.25 doses - its working fine for me at the moment at 0.25 but ordered 0.50mg as would be more doses if I decided to do it that way? So I could take 2 doses at 0.25 and see how I get on, I would then still have 3 x 0.50 doses if I needed to increase - does that make sense or have I got it all wrong?

If I did decide this way then I would just need some more needles?
Anyone done this?

@AhBiscuits do you know if this is the same amount of clicks for the 0.50mg pen? 😊

@anoldcharter I've read that the click chart works for 0.25, 0.5 and 1mg pens. The 0.5 pen should only go up to 36 clicks. You can always count the clicks to 0.5 then wind it back down and do half whatever it was.

Good shout on the vitamin d. I take a multivitamin but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't have much. Also, I have dark skin so need more vitamin d anyway.

The instructions say that the clicks aren't representative and shouldn't be used to count doses. Are we ignoring that and assuming it's near enough?

lovesthebeach. Yes I will.

I've just done my final jab on the 0.5 pen but that's my 2nd month on it and my weight has plateaued. I only ordered a 0.5 as I didn't want to go up to 1mg over Xmas.

I've lost a stone so far. One more to go

Well I am 😅
I know they tell you not to, but it's so commonly done and seems to work fine.

Took my 3rd dose of 0.25mg this morning.

Minimal side effects so far, few headache that disappeared after a few electrolyte tablets. Not going as often but no major constipation few loose bowels but again nothing major - trying hard to drink more water

SW - 251lbs
Week 1 - 245.7lbs
Week 2 - 240.3lbs

Really happy with results so far. Eating 3 smaller meals per day and no snacking. Food noise all but gone - long may it continue! ☺️

Has anyone traveled either Wegovy pen in carry-on luggage? Did you just handle the same as any other small quantity of liquid? Any concern about the needle?

Thanks
