3 weeks in…thinking about giving up
i’m 3 weeks in on the 1.5 mg pill. i’ve had great results so far, i just don’t know how much longer i can stand the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
the diarrhea has gotten better over time, but the nausea and vomitting is what’s making me want to cut my losses. to be fair, part of it is me not being disciplined, where i’m drinking too much water at once or eating too much junk in one sitting. but i hate that my body will punish me just for staying hydrated and drinking water, especially when i am thirsty. at work yesterday, i had to go throw up water in the bathroom. it sucks though, because sometimes i AM hungry, but i pay the price later. i’m currently writing this at 4 am after throwing up food from 6-8+ hours ago waiting for my zofran to kick in. i didn’t even feel nauseous until 20 minutes ago.
overall, im just miserable from the GI side effects and im not sure if it’s worth it to be on wegovy when i feel this way. does it get better over time? is it worth it to keep pushing?
i think im gonna try for another week and really try to stick to small sips of water throughout the day and 5 small meals a day and be more conscious about my nutrition. but if it’s still bad after that, i think im gonna quit. i work in education, and with school starting, i just don’t have the time to leave my classrooms to go throw up/diarrhea multiple times a day and follow the 5 small meals regimen.
