Guys this genuinely cannot be the norm every time we go up a dose?! I started 0.5mg two weeks ago and oh my GOD the past two days I genuinely don’t think I have ever been as sick. Explosive diarrhoea every 10 minutes, vomitting, excessive burping, extreme nausea, low grade fever. I literally spent half of last night on the floor of my bathroom covered in my own bodily fluids because I didn’t have the energy to sit up. I am extremely reluctant to go onto my third dose of 0.5mg on Thursday now as a result of this.

I should have ordered the next dose up. I just finished my 8th week on 2.4 and the food noise is back big time. I had ordered 2 x 2.4 pens and they’re in the fridge but I wished I’d ordered a 7.2 pen instead. I’m thinking I could use a double dose of the 2.4 pen this week, and then increase to a triple dose to get to the 7.2. The maths works do what do people think? I have asked my provider but that’s over a week ago and no reply.

I have had a bad week and gained a pound. How do I know if it's time to up the dose? I've been on 0.25 since April 25th. My coach at Boots wouldn't give me a straight answer!

Hi, I’ve been on wegovy since March 16th 2026, did 4 weeks at 0.25 then moved to 4 weeks of 0.5

I went from 100kg to 92kg in those 4 weeks of 0.5, I then went up to the 1mg and absolutely hated it, had liquid 💩 for 3 straight weeks and felt my appetite was actually stronger than on 0.5, my weight also only dropped to 90kg in the 4 weeks at 1mg.

I went back down to 0.5 and in the last 4 weeks of that, I’ve only managed to get to 88.5kg and everything feels like the level of effort i was putting in before taking wegovy (and struggling to lose even 1lb for months.)

I really don’t want to go up passed 0.5 and I’m due to start my next 4 weeks of 0.5 today but I’m feeling quite frustrated.

I work out 3 times a week with weights and swim 2-3 times a week too
My avg dailys cals fluctuate between 1200-1700 which at 5ft7 and a BMI of 30 is most definitely a deficit that should be seeing more weight loss.

Would it be helpful to have a break for a few weeks then start again or should I power through?

Is this possible? I've only been on 0.25 and 0.5mgs and I missed a couple of weeks, but the scales show I'm down by 10kgs and my clothes are starting to be quite baggy. Is this an average weight loss journey? I'm mainly taking it to clear my psoriasis and PSA, but I'm not complaining about the weight loss!

Hi all! I'm flying to Germany in August and will need to do two injections of Wegovy whilst I'm out there. Have any of you tried the various travel cases seen online to keep your own pens cool during transport? I'm looking for recommendations on brands, etc.

I'll be travelling for about 14 hours in total, so I don't want to risk using nothing and letting my pen warm during travel.

Thanks!

I am looking at ordering the Wegovy pills now that they are getting nearer to being able to be shipped out and I have read that Voy uses Royal Mail?

My main question is really has anyone been able to have their package redirected to a pick up point like a local post office or a locker? I don’t really want to have them shipped directly to my home as I live in a building with a shared entrance/shared letter box…

Sorry if this has been asked before!
I took my first dose yesterday evening. I woke up at 5am feeling pretty lousy – I’ve felt sick, haven’t wanted to eat, and have a slight headache. I forced myself to have a yogurt and a Berocca drink just to get some vitamins and fluids in.
Did anyone else have this when they started? Do you force yourself to eat, or just eat when you can? And do the side effects ease off after the first few days?
Any advice would be really appreciated, as this is the first time I’ve ever taken anything like this.

Hey, first post.

Some stats, been on wegovy since March going up in dose consistently. 6ft 3, Weighed 21st 2 and now 18st 11, been working out like crazy too so my body has started to get definition which is lovely. My main goal was to get into 38 jeans from 42, and I'm at a comfy 40 now so getting there.

No issues on .25 .5 and 1mg, but I'm week 2 into 1.7mg and my appetite is dead, I'm having a tough time eating, drinking feels like a chore, my stomach feels bloated and painful, I have no energy, and spicy food now sits incredibly badly and even more unbearable on my tongue.

Genuinely thinking of doing this round, then dropping back to 1mg as that was a good dose that's yielded good results.

Anyone else getting hit hard on 1.7mg?

Hi! I started on the initial dose in February this year and have upped to the next dose every month since. I am currently on 2.4mg and I have lost absolutely nothing since I started, not even 1kg! I have zero appetite suppression- do I hold out and step up to 7.2mg? Did it work for most people on that dose? Thanks

How long do you intend on staying on wegovy for? I know some people use it for the rest of their life, but for me I don’t want that (and can’t afford it!)

Hi,

I have a question for anyone thats ordered wegovy from MedExpress since we have had this hot weather.

Did they still send it without ice packs even in the heat??

Thanks in advance 😊

Hi all, I’ve been on Wegovy a week now. Everything is going fine but I’m struggling with the fact that people I know will judge me for it. I had a BMI of 30 but I don’t necessarily look “big enough” to be on it (as some people have said) as I am a size 14/16. I defo am carrying weight in my lower body which makes it hard to exercise but I am mainly trying it from an off the label inflammation perspective as I have endo. But has anyone else had this internal struggle with fear of being judged? It annoys me that people have too many opinions on what people want to do to make better changes in life but I still can’t turn it off that annoying voice in my head 😔 I just need some advice from others going through this wegovy journey x
