I run 3-4 days per week and am starting the oral wegovy. I am not overweight, but need it for another reason. Does it impact your running?
What should I expect.

Anyone else tell me how they felt the first day?
I ate like normal today, maybe a slightest mild cramping. Possibly felt extra full, but hard to tell. When should I notice something?

Please respond. It doesn’t have to be long.

What side effect, how long did it last,did it pass, and when did you feel as good as before you started?

I am a 55yo male.

In the last 2 years, I lost 40lbs as I went from 249 to 209 by watching what I eat and exercising.
In the last year, with no changes other than portion sizes creeping back up, I regained 12lbs as I sit at 221 as stated. My a1c was 6.5 and I lowered it to 5.8, then it went to 5.9. My cholesterol is very low as I am on the highest dose of Crestor.

I do not want to go back to where I was and would love to lose the food noise and help prevent my body from going back up. I am receiving the 1.5mg oral version today. The side effects are making me very nervous.
Is it worth using the medicine to “Cap” weight loss and help with 20lbs or so?
I do not want to lose much more than that but I know (from experience) my will power diminishes. I feel I am fighting my body’s urge to go back to where I was.
