Im on the last few days of being on 9mg before taking 25mg. The constant burps have actually started to ramp up on me. Idk if its something I ate or its the pills but it has been going on for 3-4 days now.
First time dealing with a side effect. Hopefully not too bad on 25mg
I just reviewed my rx on goodrx and decided to increase dose. 9mg was alot better than 4mg with food noise. 4mg didnt do anything for me.
With 9mg, didnt really get side effects only until final days I have been burping.
I have finally moved scale being 9mg. But it is still not much. Hope to have success on 25 mg, dont see much info on people getting or taking 25 mg.
Just took my first 9mg pill. Lets see how this goes. Havent seen or felt any side effects with 1.5 and 4mg. But I see most people notice it with 9 and 25mg
Just upped my dose from 4mg to 9mg. Hopefully this works better. I still havent felt any side effects. This will be my 4th month. I took 1.5 once and 4mg twice. For those that have the pill kick in and not have food noise, couldnt pass any food, or anything like that.
What is your daily calories if thats the case. Im interested since I see that many say they arent hungry and weight comes off.
What does your daily meal look like?
I take 4mg and count my calories and still not down much.
For this past month I have been on 4mg and since I started I have not felt any side effects or anything different compared to when I started on 1.5mg. Still able to eat anything I want with nausea or anything
Last week I checked in with provider and I chose to stay on 4mg. Taking advantage of the promo that it is still at $149 compared to 9mg at $299 and that 4mg helped me a bit delaying when I chose to eat following fasting.
Now Im torn if I should just have taken 9mg since my weight loss has been a little stagnant this month or stay on 4mg. I have added cardio, some weight lifting, fasting, lots of water, and higher protein but still at 10-12 lb lost. I have been on wegovy for 2 months.
Has anyone chosen to take two pills instead of one. Since I ordered the 4mg already but havent picked up. Could I take 2 and make it 8mg.
This morning I woke up at 6 am and took the pill. The pill was slight larger and round instead of egg shaped. I quickly tossed it into my mouth and took a sip of water.
So far so good. Its like the same when I took 1.5mg. I dont feel side effects. Only thing I did feel was in hour since I took the pill, I felt a huge amount of hunger that started to bother. So I started to drink water, and that helped.
So far I have eaten lunch. Two breast from a rotisserie chicken and pepsi zero. I snacked on a 90 calorie fudge bar. So far feel the same.
I just got back from pharmacy and picked up my new dose of 4mg to start tomorrow.
Im soo nervous to start it and see how different it’s gonna be, kinda dont want the day to end.
Nervous/ scared of any side effects actually showing up this time. I really need to up fiber or get miralax
I finally upped my dose on goodrx app. Wasn’t sure how it would work
It was an interview/questionnaire exactly like when you first sign up. You get to choose if to continue same treatment or if you want to switch pill or to a injection. I chose pill but it continued to say 1.5 mg.
Once I was done, I had to wait for a dr to review, then he asked if I felt comfortable and wanted to continue on the same 1.5mg dosage or up dose. I upped it and was granted.
Unfortunately, my pharmacy called me to tell me my rx is out of stock but should be fulfilled in coming days

It’s time for me to meet with the provider after a month on 1.5mg from goodrx.
I was doing really well on 1.5mg until this last week, I started to not feel anything different or the hunger suppression.
I dont know if its because I’m thinking about the meeting this whole week and trying to get a feel if i should up the dose.
I am afraid if this time wegovy will be hard on me with especially the side effects, even though 1.5mg did nothing to me. I have until Wednesday to decide if I should request to continue 1.5 mg or 4 mg.
I just finished my 2nd week of wegovy pills 1.5mg and so far so good. Im down 10 lbs. so real
Side effects except the constipation, some days its impossible to go.
I should up my fiber intake even more along with water. Also need to focus on working out, been so busy don’t find the time
Idk if im getting used to 1.5mg or what. But some days this 2nd week I felt I have gotten some hunger in afternoon. Im still currently happy at 1.5mg. Its nice help to have to not constantly crave something.
Starting weight was 270lbs
Yesterday was the first day I didnt do my routine of taking plenty of fiber, drinking lots of water, and nothing fried.
Without trying to, I have had fried foods twice,soda, very little water, no fiber. I woke up paying the price. I woke up bloated, gassy, burping, and no bowel movements even though I tried so much.
I dont know if that had anything to do but I did not have a good night sleeping either. The whole morning i just kept burping and feeling bloated.
If I wasnt bloated and constipated, this morning would have been a new low since taking wegovy.
I finally completed my first week of 1.5 mg and so far feel good. I subbed to goodrx and got my pills quickly. I have lost about 5 lbs thanks to the food noise completely gone and dont feel hungry or think about future meals. I only do eat because I know I do have to eat something especially protein
Everytime I take my dose like around 6am, since its on an empty stomach I feel like I feel it going down and when it arrives in my stomach. (Call me crazy lol) I feel like start working because I dont think of breakfast.
So far I get no real side effects. The only time I feel close to any kind of nausea is when I have eaten and get full, I dont want to see anymore food. Only time I started to feel any headache was on day 6 when I did a fast from 6pm to 1pm.
I tried to consume plenty of water (minimum 5 bottles of water), protein shakes, take fiber-collagen gummies, benefiber, gatorade to help with constipation that I did notice on day 2 when I passed very little to what I am use to.
I hope week 2 goes as smooth and continue to lose weight. I do need to incorporate more exercise to help with that
Just took my first pill dose at 6am. I dont know if it is just mental or what.
I feel like started to feel different after the 30 mins and so far haven’t felt hungry.
The day before I ate a meal and my hungry satisfied into the night, so im prob still digesting it.
So far im not hungry and dont have any food noise or think of what I want to eat today. I did get a smoothie with fiber, protein, and coconut water just so I wont go with not having anything this morning.
So I just came from pharmacy and got my wegovy pills. I already have protein and creatine that I plan to take. I am going to get a fiber supplement and was advised to get magnesium glycinate. What fiber and magnesium glycinate do you all get? Is it fine to get them both in gummy form. I saw goli had mag glycinate in gummies and metamucil had gummies.
Just not sure
Was waiting for pharmacy to call me but didnt so I went to check and it was ready. Excited and nervous to finally get it. Pills are way smaller than expected
I had just gotten approved yesterday on goodrx and rx was sent to my pharmacy. When I go pick it up, what are good tips and recommendations to get at pharmacy while im there. Like should I go ahead and pickup magnesium citrate or any vitamins.
After reading, watching vids, and seeing people’s reaction to the pill. I finally signed up for my first GLP-1 on goodrx and chose the pill. Been nervous when to follow through with it and sign up. Excited but nervous to see this journey and looking forward to how I react to wegovy pills.
