Wegovy - need some inspiration

Hi,

I started Wegovy 1 week ago at the starting dose of 0.25mg, had the second dose today.
So far I've not lost any weight and don't really feel it's curbed my appetite much, if at all!

I only just met the eligibility criteria as my BMI is 27 but I have other medical conditions, weight 70kg.

I know I need to be patient and wait for the dose to go up and hopefully I'll see some effect then but feel a bit disheartened with it being so expensive and I'm still bloody starving!

Anybody else similar?
And did the weight loss ramp up as the dose increased?

Thanks

I feel the same. I’m due to take my second dose on Monday and I don’t feel any different at all. I’m hoping next week it might kick in.

I’ve been fairly slow and steady compared to some the big early losses I’ve seen others have but I’m 5 weeks in and have lost 8.5lbs so far. My starting BMI was 27 too.
I’ve not seen a huge appetite decrease that I’ve noticed and have had plenty of treats in that time. I actually wondered for the first couple of weeks if I was actually injecting it right but feel like it must be having more of an impact on the mindless grazing and portion sizes than I’d thought.

Could I ask when you're ordering from please ladies?

Ok that's promising!

I just need to persevere until max dose I think but I'm impatient and I keep reading about people who are fill after a few bites or no longer want a glass of wine and that just isn't me at all!

Just wondering how you are getting on OP? I am at 1mg and have had same experience - no difference in appetite at all. In fact I am hungrier in the morning?? Trying to decide whether to move up to 1.7mg or whether it’s perhaps just not the right thing for me

I've lost weight very slowly, some weeks I lost nothing. But I've lost nearly 3 stone in the year I've been taking it.
