I thought this was just a weird unrelated craving I’ve been having but I just saw a tiktok where other people on GLP1 are experiencing this too.
All day nothing sounds appetizing and when I do get myself to eat, it’s like, meh. Not very enjoyable. BUT every single night I get an intense craving for ice cream and then it tastes like the best thing I’ve ever had. Anyone else? Is this a thing? 😂
Can anyone recommend any good free apps to help that doesn't require me to buy the medication through them I was able to get it through my PCP for one 50 a month no matter the milligrams. But I can't find a free app that doesn't make you pay and get the medication from them.
2 weeks ago I had a small pizza and immediately after having stomach pains and the same the next morning. Last night I had a chicken tikka masala and today the intense stomach pain I had was disgusting. I can't even describe the pain, I couldn't even stand up, I was sweating and was nearly sick. It was so bad..so now I won't be eating pizza or curry.
Is there anything that you can't eat now?
This is my fifth month on Wegovy, currently on the 9mg. I've been on the 9mg for almost two months now. Side effects up until the past few days have been tolerable. Then it was like something flipped and the past few days have been miserable to the point where I am couch bound and considering quitting for the first time.
My symptoms include: strong stomach cramps, intense nausea, lightheadedness, hypoglycemia, hot flashes/sweating, and difficulty concentrating.
Again, none of these symptoms presented themselves as strongly over the past six months until a few days ago.
Has anyone experienced anything similar where they've been fine for almost half a year and then all of a sudden everything went south?
So this is my second week on the starter dose. The nausea isn't too bad but still feel a little like morning sickness (very mild). I think I'm starting to experience the fullness feeling. I went out to eat tonight and I'm legit struggling with feeling uncomfortably full. I also had 1 glass of wine and its messing with my head. I'm waiting for the appetite to change but I know it'll take time. I'll have to keep working on understanding hunger cues.
Horrible cramping and heavier days. Worse than before I started. Anyone else have this experience?
On day 2 and I over ate. I started feeling full not even halfway through my meal, but thought “surely one more bite will be okay.” It was not okay. I feel nauseous and overstuffed. I think learning when to stop eating is going to be my biggest hurdle. I’m hoping to see great results as I go forward! My CW Is 247 and my GW is 200 right now. When I get to 200 I’ll reassess. I’d love to hear y’all’s progress in the comments! It gives me hope!
I’ve been on 4mg for 1 week and the nausea is horrific. I was advised to stop taking the pill for a couple of days, but honestly I haven’t felt any better. Breakfast this morning was dry crackers and a ginger stomach tablet. I took some cyclizine on Monday but it knocked me out and I couldn’t work so can’t do that again.
I’ve been on the tablets since mid July and have lost nearly a 14lbs but the joy of that is very much dampened by the horrid sick feeling every day at the moment.
Does this pass? As if it doesn’t I just don’t think I can live with this. I had hoped to lose around 70lbs to reach a goal I’d be happy with so a long way to go still.
Everything I read here just talks about how awful it is with the side effects, but does anyone have light at the end of this tunnel??
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.
Hi all. I’d be grateful for advice. I’m starting 1.5mg on Monday after I get home from holiday. Do you think I should start with half a tablet? I’m worried about feeling sick. And I’m worried about not being able to exercise properly. Can you tell me the best way to ease in gently? Thank you
Hi all, I had been taking the injections for about a year and lost a lot of weight. I had to come off to have surgery and I decided to try the pills instead of the shot going back. I started taking the pills about five or six days ago. I’m taking the starter dose 1.5 mg. So far I haven’t noticed any appetite suppressant or any other changes that I had with the shot. Luckily no side effects though. Does it take time to get used to the pills? If you started on the low dose and had a similar experience did things get better with the higher dose?
I started back in April at 1.5mg and moved up to 4mg. For financial reasons I had to take last month off. I just started back up on 4mg a few days ago. How long should it take to start seeing and feeling the effects again?
I’m down almost 10lbs in 6 weeks (1.5 for 4weeks and now 4mg) but honestly I’m so bloated it doesn’t even matter. Yesterday, I measured and I was 3 inches bigger around the waist due to bloat. Slightly smaller today but not much. It’s like I’m losing weight but I’m so bloated I look like I’ve gained weight 😩 and TMI I may be constipated, I no longer poop every day but I’m not in any pain or discomfort so didn’t think much of it but this bloating is making me look bigger. Is this normal or what can I do to help this?
Good Morning Wegovians. (Wegovyites?)
Nothing can wipe the smile off my face today. I have a dress that I bought last summer that I have never been able to wear. It looked super cute on me from the front, but in profile it made my butt look HUGE. Because honestly my butt was huge LOL. I decided to try it on today, and it looks fine from every angle. I would even be willing to be seen in public in it.
If you are just starting out and wondering if this can work for you, It can!
I was on 1.5 for 30 days- completely positive symptoms, lost 5kg. No cravings, full quickly. I was finally happy and hopeful about my weight loss after many years of watching the scale go up and down.
30 days in I got diarrhea after a meal, no big deal. The next day, diarrhea multiple times, extreme tiredness, nausea. I had to call in sick to work for 4 days.
I came off of the pill on day 2 of my sickness, now it’s been over a week of not taking it and I am still not right..
I’m so upset, I am not comfortable using public facilities/work facilities to use the bathroom. I want to go back on the tablet, but if they caused it I don’t know if I will be able to handle the side effects again. Would I even necessarily get side effects? After 30 days without, I was very cocky that I was one of the people that didn’t get them lol
Hey everyone. I’m ready for some heat and criticism for this, but I really need honest, real-world advice from people who have actually been in this spot.
I know logically that I don’t need Wegovy. I’ve been training hard for years. After a slightly too aggressive bulk, cutting back down has been an absolute nightmare. I’ve leaned out a lot, but I’m just not quite where I want to be yet. My biggest enemy right now isn't discipline in the gym, it’s the relentless "food noise" and cravings holding me back from sticking to the strict deficit needed for that final bit of conditioning.
I’ve been looking into options to quiet that down. I know some people look into Retatrutide for this stage, but honestly, I am way too squeamish about needles to go that route.
Before I make any decisions, I want to hear from anyone who has actually used Wegovy (or similar) when they were already in a good, fit shape, purely for that last bit of stubborn definition!
tmi but this is a safe space. i’ve been struggling with constipation and trying to find a solution to stay on the pill. anytime i do have any bowel movements, it’s diarrhea. I haven’t popped solid normal poop since before the pill.
so i’m curious, is this normal? i know constipation is a normal side effect but does anyone actually poop normal poop on this or is it only diarrhea.
thanks for any feedback! (:
My first day on the new pill. Hoping for as few side effects as I had on the previous! I am down 7.2 pounds!
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.
