Wegovy and hungry

[Skybubble]

I am into week 3 of my 0.25 injections and lost 6 pounds but am so hungry most of the time so I'm wondering weather to buy the second month injections as I feel I have lost weight by willpower alone. Has anyone else had this issue?

Did you do any research into this before you started taking it? At all?

In simple terms you are on the very lowest dose so you will not get the full effect you are expecting until you are on a higher dose. You are 3 weeks in. It’s up to you if you want to stop but you are on what is called a titration dose.

It’s also normal to be hungry, it’s your bodies way of telling you to eat or you could become very unwell. Hunger is not abnormal. Low blood sugar is not fun and can cause you to faint. It’s ok to eat when you are hungry.

Very good point @Menora. It’s easy to forget when diet mentality sees much of hunger as the enemy. When in fact, everyone feels hungry. It’s human and it’s part of being alive.

0.25 isn't a dose for giving you many results, it tells you that when you buy it and reminds you it's not an effective medical dose, rather one to get you started and dose up as you go, to avoid too many side effects.

I only had good results on 0.5 and some people don't have any until higher.

It's just a starting dose to build up in your system. You increase dose gradually to minimise side effects.

It’s a starting dose and you will have some weeks better than others. It works longer term but slow and steady for many.

Thanks everyone, I did research Wegovy before I used it and knew the first dose was small but I wasn't expecting to feel so hungry, I will stick with it and order my next months injection and hopefully I won't be as hungry.

Skybubble - did you increase your dose?

next week is your last dose at .25mg and your next pen should be .50mg. they do say that you dont actually benefit propertly until you are on the top dose.

i am stuck on 1mg. if i go higher the side effects are aweful for me, so i've had to remain on 1mg for a couple of pens now.

i've decided im ordering the next pen at 1.7mg but im going to 'click count' and only administer 1.25mg and increase slowly to see if i can get over the 1mg issue i am having.
