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!

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!

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! (:

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.

Just out of curiosity…
28F on day 5 of 4mg and still a lot of food noise 🫠

My pills should arrive tomorrow so I can start on Thursday. I previously took Mounjaro and couldn't afford to continue and then gained 28lbs back on. I decided to try the wegovy pill as it is cheaper and I don't mind weight-loss being slower as hopefully it means it will stay off. The only side effects I had on mounjaro was some mild constipation which was actually good for my IBS-D. I think this was due to it slowing my digestive system down.

Has anyone had minimal side effects on the wegovy pill? I work in a school so I'm nervous is needing to run to the toilet regularly, although with my IBS i tend to need to escape quickly anyway. Thank goodness my new classroom is just down the corridor 😄

About to make the jump to 25 mg from 9 mg. I had a couple of sickness episodes on 9 mg. I chalk both of those events up to waiting too long to eat both of those times, but overall I am tolerating 9 mg pretty well.

Any advice on jumping to 25 mg? So far 9 mg hasn't really changed my appetite much. One thing I have noticed on this subreddit is most people are still in the early doses when they post, and I see very little about people posing about being on 25 mg, which makes me think lots of people give up before 25 mg. Of course, I could be wrong.

At any rate, just looking for people's experiences.

Thanks!

Started 4mg on 2/26/26 and I’m down 30lbs. I’ve been at my current weight for about 3 months. Good maintenance weight, however I want to try 9mg. the 4mg stopped being as effective.

I currently pay goodRX $39/mo and then $149/mo for the pill 4mg.

I want to go to 9mg but the price is ridiculous… I’m not considered low income in my state so I don’t qualify for those programs… any advice?

***How to get 9mg for low price?***

I've been on 1.5 for my second month now. Did you continue to see progress or stall? I think I'm getting to the point where I'm not eating enough and it's affecting me physically. I'm winded after going up the subway stairs or don't feel as strong as I used to. This is why I was scared to go on 4 after the first month bc my lack of interesting in eating is already so low just on 1.5! Any thoughts/tips?

Hey everyone! I increased my dose to 9 mg two weeks ago, and since then I’ve been feeling really exhausted, unmotivated, and out of breath. Is this normal? Could it just be an adjustment period?

I’m usually pretty active and work out at least four times a week, mostly lifting weights with dumbbells, but lately I’ve been feeling more and more tired and weak. This week I even noticed that I was short of breath just from walking up the stairs at work, which is really unusual for me.

I really don’t want to keep feeling like this, but I also don’t want to lower my dose or stop taking it right away if this is just an adjustment phase that will pass.

Has anyone else experienced this after increasing their dose? If so, did it get better after a while?

I started mid January at 223 pounds, weigh 150 pounds today and went shopping for clothing. I bought pants in a 8 petite or 10 petite depending on the fit! When I started in was a 20 petite!

5' 1".

Im not sure what my goal is but I know im getting closer. Im still soft and dont work out at all, but am getting comfortable in my body.

As i get closer I do notice the weight loss has slowed down a bit, now about 2 pounds. Still happy but dreading the ramp down ad I dont want to take a pill forever....

Not sure if anyone else experienced this but I recently started taking wegovy and last week I went up to 4mg. 1mg was good, lost only a few lbs, but noticed changes in my eating habits, would only get nauseous here and there, and my bowel movements were normal. Then, I went up to 4mg and all hell broke loose. 3 days after taking it, I woke up with severe abdominal cramps, acid reflux, and non stop disgusting sulfur burps. It smelled like farts. And then the explosive diarrhea came where every 10-20 mins I would run to the toilet and poop water. This lasted for 4 days. I stopped taking it on day 1. I am now not sure if I wanna continue taking it. Has this happened to anyone else?

Took the injection starting Jan for 3 months. I got too much anxiety and switched to pill. So I have been on the pill for 4 months, now on 25mg and have lost 10 pounds total since January. I’m 48, perimenopausal and work out 3 times a week.
Slow as hell but something is working. Just sucks insurance doesn’t cover it. Dreading thinking about when I reach my goal and figuring out what I’m going to do to maintain.
Had worse side effects with the injection than I did the pill.
Don’t get discouraged peeps.

I’ve been doing so good the last 5 days aside from some health anxiety and increases in heart rate. I woke up today and my Oura ring said my body temp and heart rate were elevated in my sleep and to go easy today. I woke up sweating, red faced, with that fluttering feeling in my chest. TMI but I haven’t had my period since January due to going through a very stressful time and today I woke up with it? Makes me think that’s contributing to the low health score on the ring today. Regardless, this med has been wonderful, I’m down 4 lbs already (probably water weight but still). I’m skipping today’s dose just to be sure my provider agrees with me to continue it. Does anyone take it every other day instead of daily? Sorry for the long winded post but if anyone has had a similar experience around their period/taking the med please let me know. Thanks!!

Just got my first bottle of pills. I’m petrified to start it. I have Hashimotos disease, had my thyroid removed, Crohn’s disease, and one kidney, all of which I told my prescribing doctor. She had no worries, but I am PETRIFIED of having side effects. I saw one person on here who had a terrible reaction and was profusely vomiting and having diarrhea all at once. Does anyone else have any of the medical issues I have and take the pill? How’re you doing?

Hello! I (F/ 28) am very very new to wegovy - started on 1.5mg three days ago. Ive had no adverse side effects so far apart from more burping than normal, but nothing severe. Im being super careful with my hydration levels, avoiding oily/spicy food, and keeping my protein and fibre up. I had noticed my usual post dinner sweet cravings are gone, but other than that my appetite is pretty normal.

I’d like to get people’s experience with when any adverse side effects started to kick in? Thanks!
