Took a few days, but feels like 25mg has well and truly kicked in today. Appetite feels low and felt uncomfortably full after lunch (even though I stopped as soon as I felt full) 😂
How’s everyone getting on, on their doses?
Which is the best pharmacy for bundles. I go on holiday in October and would be due to order my next lot of pills while I’m away. So I’m thinking it might be best to order a bundle to ensure I don’t end up missing any days. I think i would probably be fine, but I’m a worrier so like to be prepped (plus it’s my first foreign holiday in over 20 years so there’s added nerves with that)
Does anyone else feel like they’ve replaced the “high” they used to get from food with going to the gym, or maybe it’s just me? I’ve really found that going the gym gives me a buzz. I’ve been going consistently for a year, and it still surprises me how much I enjoy it
This isn't aimed at anyone in this group, but have seen a few posts on some of the other GLP-1 subreddits today, that has prompted me to post. Can I just remind everyone of Rule 2: while these subreddits are a helpful tool and the vast majority of people are only trying to be helpful, advice on here is in no way a substitute for actual medical advice
If you're looking to start and have pre existing conditions, or are worried if you're experiencing extreme side effects, please speak to your Dr, your prescriber, a pharmacist or call NHS 111 depending on the side effects
I usually take my pill at 6:30 and then fall back asleep for an hour or so. This has worked really well for me, until today 😂 I’m now only 70% sure I took my pill 🙈 I have an alarm set for it, and it wasn’t still going when I woke up at 8:30 so at the very least I woke up to turn it off. I’m gonna follow the guidance and not take another one just in case. I just know the uncertainty is going to reaaaaally bug me all day
(TMI I know, sorry) The last week or so I’ve had some (mild) constipation so took some stool softener yesterday and had a caffeinated coffee (I only allow myself one caffeinated coffee a day cause I suffer with hypertension) and boy has it opened the flood gates 😂 All I can say is thank god I work from home
Anyone used Zava before? Ordered from them today cause their 9mg was the cheapest with their new customer prices (think I’ll be switching each month, that money is better off on my pocket 😂)
Having to submit pics in some strange poses was certainly a new experience for me, but within 10 minutes of submitting the photos the order was approved and will dispatch soon. Think that’s the fastest I’ve ever had an order approved. Let’s see how long it takes to arrive.
Went for 9mg again, cause it seems to be working well for me and while I’m still losing it makes sense to stay where I am dose wise, and save myself a little more money 💷 😂
**Edit, this is in no way an affiliate post, I don't have anywhere near enough clout to be associated with any pharmacies**
iQ Doctor have posted their Foundayo prices. Not sure how set in stone they are, cause only a £10 increase as you move up the does seems a bit too good to be true to me, but;
At the other end, Chemist4U prices seem to be more in line with what I was expecting;
Be interesting to see as more pharmacies list their prices how it will compare. Hopefully it turns out to be cheaper alternative for people
When you’re in the midst of it, you don’t always see the difference as you’re losing weight. But when you do notice it, it really does snack you on the face. The difference between 2024 and 2026 caught me by surprise cause my brain still sees me more as I was in 2026. I’m 8 stone (112lbs/51kg) down and feel better than I have in years.
(Sorry I know the pics aren’t perfect but I don’t take many full body shots cause I always hated looking at my full body)
How is everyone doing this weekend? How's the weight loss coming along?
Today's suppression/satiety feels quite high, just had a smoothie which really filled me up 😂 (Aldi's Green Smoothie Mix, 10/10 would recommend)
Week 3 weigh in, and another 3lbs off. So that’s 8.5lbs off since I switched to the pills and started intermittent fasting
How’s everyone else getting on with the pills
Ok, weird question, but has anyone found themselves having really vivid dreams since staring the pills? I’ve noticed my dreams seem to be quite weird and vivid since starting the pills. Which is weird cause I’m not new to Wegovy 😂
Saw this on TikTok and thought it might help some of the newer people to Wegovy. I think seeing other people’s journeys sometimes makes it feel like yours is going slow compared to theirs. I think we all need to learn to be kinder to ourselves when it comes to these meds (Rome wasn’t built in a day after all)
Ok, so coming to the end of the first week of switching to the pills. It genuinely feels like the pills have kickstarted it again for me. The suppression is higher and longer lasting (so far) was pleasantly surprised as the recommended switching dose from 2.4mg of the jabs is 25mg of the pills. Haven’t had any negative side effects, but if mild constipation but nothing plenty of water and a gut supplement hasn’t sorted. One thing I’ve noticed is that the pills have a distinctive acrid taste to them if you don’t swallow them quick enough (not as rank as the taste of paracetamol though). I take the pill at 6:30 and then go back to sleep until my alarm goes off at 8:00 which seems to be really working for me
Hey, I created some User Flairs for each of the doses, if anyone wants to use them. I've found them handy on other subreddits as it allows you to see who's on what dose. Especially for newcomers to the pills 😊
Ok, so I woke up this morning and took my first pill, cause in my half sleepy state I thought it was Wednesday so have taken my first dose a day early (probably not the end of the world, but definitely not something I’d want to repeat)
Feels a little like it’s further dampened the food noise, and made me feel less hungry. I’ve started intermittent fasting too since the weekend and the first few days by 12:00 I was ready to eat my arm, but today felt different. I was hungry by 12:00 for sure, but it wasn’t an “omg I need to eat something before I die” and more of an “oh I should probably eat”
So far I’d call it a success but we’ll see how the rest of the week, and my first month goes.
Anyone found any decent apps more geared towards the pills? Most apps I can find are more for tracking weekly jabs, which obviously doesn’t work for daily. I’ve set a reminder on my phone, but wanted something I could use to track weight also (though I could continue to use current tracker just not update the “shots” section)
After what feels like a mega wait, my order has been dispatched! Will be starting them next week as tonight is my last jab
Has anyone successfully switched from the Wegovy pen to the pills? If so what dose did you switch from and how have you found it?
Not sure if I’m after advice, or just feel like ranting. I’ve been on 7.2mg for a few months now but it seems like a lot more foods are triggering stomach ache, loose stools and really bad sulphur burps. I tried 4.8mg which seemed better(ish), so I thought I’d built up a better tolerance so went back up to 7.2mg. I seem to be in a cycle of a week of nothing triggering it, then something will trigger it and then I’ll spend the next 3 days really nauseous. I’m thinking I might be better off going back down to 2.4mg. I think I’ll speak to my provider and see what they say
