We used to get a lot of takeout, and I am sure that accounts for a big part why I am overweight. I am on day 10 and have not had any since starting the pill. My husband wanted Chinese food and I was half afraid that I would over eat it because I haven't had any in a while and I was half afraid even a little of it would make me sick.
I was completely satisfied with my 5 little chunks of General Tso's chicken. I took the coating off one side and left that behind. I had just a couple of forkfuls of chicken fried rice with it and a few sips of sugar free gingerale and then sipped water because I know carbonation can be a problem. I feel so relieved! In the past I would not have been able to stop without a heaping plateful. I would have finished my plate even if I was full. I am sure I would have included fried egg rolls too. It feels so strange (and wonderful) to be satisfied with a small meal. It was a nice treat and I feel able to appreciate it instead of looking for more.

Let me warn you on the "dangers" of taking the pill in bed and going back to sleep so you can have coffee when you wake up. I woke up at 5am and thought I took the pill. But the damned thing is so tiny, and in the dark, half asleep I did not even notice that it never made it to my mouth because there it is on the floor when I got up. It's too late for me to take a pill today because I didn't notice that I missed it until after coffee when I came to make my bed. UGH!

Still mostly uneventful. Cravings for night time snacks are gone. I did press my luck last night for supper, not due to a craving, but sometimes you just want to eat what everyone else is having, ya know? I had a small steak and cheese sandwich and 5 potato chips. Yes, I counted them. I felt ok, but my stomach made loud gurgly noises all night like it was not happy. No pain or nausea though. I weighed myself after coffee this morning. I have lost 3 pounds this week.
*edited to add I am not sure if it is wishful thinking, but I am feeling less pain in my legs today, and maybe the anti-inflammatory effects have kicked in*

I have been off my statin for a month due to suspected liver injury from it. My bloodwork shows my liver function is back to normal already since stopping the statin, but my cholesterol is headed back up. Has anyone with high cholesterol been able to stay off statins with Wegovy?

I don't know how I ended up on the wrong side of Reddit but this was the first post I saw today. https://www.reddit.com/r/Biohackers/comments/1uhydvk/comment/oubxfw6/

I am relieved to say there is no nausea or headaches so far (knock wood!) I was so terrified to start this pill but it has been uneventful. The only thing that bothers me is not being able to have coffee when I get up.

I was never someone who needed to eat as soon as I got up, but I am lost with what to do with myself as the 30 minute wait for coffee slowly counts down. I keep looking at the clock, and it feels like forever.
The food noise is there but getting quieter. This morning as we passed my favorite donut shop, my mind briefly flashed on thoughts of biting into a sugar covered lemon filled donut. But I didn't stop. I didn't feel like I had to have one. Who am I kidding? I really would have eaten 2 of them before.

I'm trying to be prepared for everything that may or may not happen with side effects. I see that some of you use protein shakes to make sure you get enough when you don't feel able to eat more. What should I be looking for in the ingredients, or can you recommend a good brand? Some of them are so expensive. I ordered Atkins shakes online because they were affordable, but they just arrived, and I see there are oils in the ingredients, which I think may cause nausea, so I don't think I should use them.

I was going to wait and start Sunday because I have bloodwork coming up Saturday and was thinking I would have to skip the pill that morning because I have to drink a lot of water before the blood draw. But DUH! as long as I get up early and take the pill I will still have time to drink a lot of water after the 30 minutes are up before I go.
I am excited, nervous, and hopeful. Aside from weight loss I am really hoping for the anti-inflammatory effects. I have Lipedema and a lot of pain in my legs.

I will be starting on Sunday at the lowest dose. I have been reading about the titration schedule. Is it not weird that after the 1.5 the next dose is more than double? and so is the dose after that? and then the next one is almost triple? Is there a way to slow this down? It seems like there should be a happy medium between 9 and 25. I am very sensitive to medications. I was only on half the normal starting dose of a statin when it lowered my cholesterol by 51 points, but it also injured my liver. I guess I am just nervous about what seems to be high doses.

I'm excited but also very nervous . I had a bad experience years ago with a different weight loss drug that made me so nauseous I couldn't leave the house and I gave up . I'm hoping this will be good for me . I just found out that I have fatty liver disease and this is supposed to help treat that in addition to weight loss . Has anyone else here had fatty liver disease ?

I have looked at all the GLP1s and I am thinking Wegovy might be best for me because it is the only one also approved for liver disease. I was on a statin but it caused a lot of liver inflammation and I may or may not have fatty liver disease now. Anyway I have read that some people give up because of side effects. I was wondering if there aren't treatments available to manage them? I know there is an antinausea medication you can also get from your doctor. Has anyone tried taking antinausea meds with it and if so did it work?
