I’ve been on the 9mg for a week and a half now and have felt no additional appetite suppression until last night. I’ve only lost .5 lbs in a week and a half on it. Disappointing.

Is this common? Does it usually take a week and a half for the efficacy to kick in on the higher dose?

I remember thinking I was plateauing at 4mg when I really just had to wait longer so I’m wondering if this is the same experience and I should expect it every time I go up. It’s annoying and frustrating.

My 16 year old stepson grew up with an alcoholic mother who is also bulimic. We finally got custody of him about three years ago after more drunken antics where cops were called and a long ass court case involving DCF.

Now we have recently found him vomitting after meals (trying to be sneaky and failing). My husband is distraught and we both know he will lie his way out of it being recovering addicts ourselves if we approach him directly.

My husbands plan is to talk to his therapist and get ideas on what to do. He also wants me to talk to stepson because stepson confides in me more than anyone (he sees me as more of an aunt figure than a parent figure which I’m fine with).

How would you go about approaching this? This is new territory for me because I have a four year old and am ill equipped for teenage problems. I do however understand addiction as noted above and I see EDs as a type of addiction (could be wrong).

I feel partially at fault because there’s been lots of weight talk at my house lately due to me being on a GLP so I think I’ll reduce comments on weight in front of him but any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Mine is a cross between New York City and Seoul. Thats the only way I can describe it. Do your cities look similar to anywhere in the real world?

I am starting 9mg in two weeks. I’ve been on 4 for 3-4 months now. My body is pretty acclimated although I do still occasionally get nausea.

Can you share your experience going up? Side effects? Any concerns I should have? I’m nervous about this jump.

I work in marketing operations. That is my skillset. The entirety of what I have done prior to this job in Salesforce on an admin level is adding fields and picklist values. THAT IS IT.

I started this new job in March and they immediately stuck me with all this Salesforce admin work of which I have no training for, no cert for nor am being paid for. I also don’t want this to be my job.

I am constantly being bombarded about what is wrong with Salesforce and what should be fixed and building custom reports and flows and on and on. I am literally using Claude to teach me admin work. I have been in tears over Salesforce multiple times.

I guess I’m just posting to rant and to see if anyone else is in this position and how they handled it. I told them a week an a half ago I am stepping away from admin work and they need to hire someone but they keep at it.

The latest is that duplicates have been created on the same date by the same user so I asked that user what was going on if it was an automation or something else and I was told by my boss not to include that user. Like what?! Then how am I supposed to solve this?! Osmosis?!

I swear if the job market wasn’t trash I’d quit.

I was stupid and didn’t order the 9 this month even though I need it. Food noise is back and I find myself getting hungry at night again.

Today I doubled my 4mg and plan on taking that dose every other day. Today I feel like it is effective. No hunger or food noise.

Has anyone done this and was it successful for you?

I’ll definitely go up to 9 next month.

I started on 4 mg two months ago (this is my second month) and for some reason my nausea and stomach pain (like a sour stomach in the morning) has increased as time has gone on. I am about to start my third month on 4 and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced side effects after taking the same dose for a long time.

I didn’t have side effects when I first started taking it but now it’s like every morning I’m sick and I haven’t even increased my dose!

Does anyone else have serious travel anxiety?

I am going on a trip on Monday for work (alone) from CT to DC. I am taking a train for Christ’s sake to eliminate the whole airport and flying anxiety and I still feel sick over it.

I have medication I will be taking and taking with me but does anyone else have tips for travel anxiety? I just keep replaying scenarios in my head all day long it’s driving me insane.

I’m on 4mg and counting calories so I know I’m eating in a deficit (minus my tuna melt some of you may have seen me post about 😂) but I have stayed stuck at exactly 138.2 lbs for at least a week now maybe a bit longer.

I ordered another bottle of 4 for this month due to cost and traveling (didn’t want side effects while on a work trip) but now I’m not sure if I should have gone up.

Next month I won’t have as many expenses or a trip so now I’m debating 9.

How long did you plateau for before you decided to up your dose?

I had a full tuna melt last night and a handful of fries (maybe a cup) and I ended up vomiting it up this morning. I didn’t feel sick after I ate it but I had also taken my THC gummies which reduce nausea and increase appetite a bit. But this morning I really felt it. Is this common? I have been very cautious about portion control but I had no idea how sick it would make me. Took me by surprise. I was just really craving that tuna melt lol

Does anyone else have a train station in their dreams?

I have the same one over and over and I’m always trying to find the time of my train or the track of my train but last night my train station had a different path in it to find the times and I thought to myself “this isn’t the path I usually take” because I’ve been there many times before.

My train station is modernized and somehow attached to an office building within the city.

I started Wegovy in April at 155 lbs (4’9) considered obese on the BMI. This was due to having a kid four years ago and allowing myself to binge eat candy when I was in a depression from November-February.

My first goal was to get under 140 lbs since that was my pre baby weight (Covid). I have officially hit 139 lbs!

I will say the composition of my body is totally different due to having my baby. My stomach still hangs and so do my breasts but I’ve gone from a solid large to a medium in clothing and I feel absolutely great about myself and my progress.

My goal weight is 120 lbs so 19 more to go but I truly believe I can do it with the help of this medicine. It’s really been a miracle drug for me.

A note about dosing: I lost 10 lbs on the 1.5 and an additional 6 on the 4. I am staying on the 4 because I’m still losing and I can’t afford to go up right now. Slow and steady for me cuz it’s still happening!!!

I have met my first milestone of losing 15 lbs and being back to my pre baby weight (still 20 lbs overweight to lose but this feels like an achievement in itself).

However I still have this extra apron belly stomach fat that keeps me in the same size jeans because it’s so flabby. I am wondering if my stomach will stay loose and flabby even as I lose more weight.

For reference I had a c-section four years ago and I don’t do any workouts so any recommendation for something that could help with this specific issue is welcome.

Thanks!

Calling all teachers or experienced pre-k moms … what would you recommend as an end of the year teacher gift?

My son has one main teacher and two helper teachers. He has been a challenge to them not gonna lie and I would like to get them something nice to show my appreciation but I don’t want to get some dust collector.

Recommendations?

I just went up to 4 mg last week from 1.5. On 1.5 I had barely any food noise and I lost 11 lbs. So far I have lost 1 more lb on 4 mg and a lot of food noise has returned. What gives? I thought the higher dose would be even more effective but it seems the opposite.

Anyone else have this experience?

Does anyone know where I can find wide smaller sized flats that will be comfortable and professional enough to wear to a work event in June? I would prefer a neutral color like black or tan.

Thanks!
