r/WegovyWeightLoss

54 Female. Started the 0.25 pen, I’m currently on 0.50 and today is week 10. I went from 170 pounds to 160 pounds.

I understand everyone’s journey and body are different and I shouldn’t compare, yet I’m frustrated. I track what I eat, drink water, don’t drink alcohol or eat junk food. I admit the last couple of weeks I haven’t worked out much due to the extreme heat and humidity, but I thought surely I’d lose more weight than this. I’m going through menopause, so maybe it’s making the weight loss more difficult.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

I’ve taken 2 shots so far and I haven’t noticed any change. I added wegovy because I am in perimenopause, workout/weight lift 4x a week along with 10k+ steps daily and have prioritized protein but found I was still hungry. I’m 5’2 so my calories and macros for a deficit kept me still hungry. Anyone in a similar situation see success?

A year ago I posted my weight loss so I thought it would be important to be honest a year later and post about what’s happening now. I am still on Wegovy, still taking the maximum dose 2.4. Some things changed starting around December when I noticed that my weight crept up by a pound instead of going down. This is the first time that that has happened, which I think makes me pretty lucky. Since December, my weight has gone up a total of 8 pounds. Considering that’s been 8 pounds over seven months that’s not too bad but it’s bad enough. I also noticed that I still have a lot of of the side effects except for the ones that I kind of liked. The ones that helped my anxiety and the ones that kept panic attacks away have gone away. A little bummed about that. Cravings for things like coffee have come back, which is really interesting. I did see my doctor in May and explained what was happening and he kind of shrugged it off and said well you need to diet and exercise. That was awesome. So I’m wondering if I should just stick with it and hope that I don’t continue gaining weight or should I talk to my doctor again and try to change to a different med. Would love to hear about your experience, and any feedback on what you would recommend.

Started Wegovy .25 several weeks ago. Side effects weren't bad. Some mild nausea, sulphur burps, all manageable. Until the .5 dose. Extreme nausea within a few hours, which progressed to super sensitive smell - everything I smelled made me feel sick. Then the vomiting and diarrhea started. 2.5 days of feeling horrible. I hadn't been that sick since I had food poisoning years ago. I'm quitting. The thought of going through this every week/month and getting used to it, or letting it build up in my system isn't worth it. I'm so disappointed, but at least I know I tried. Has anyone else had the extreme side effects and stayed with it? Or quit? I'd love to hear other perspectives.

So I had been having a problem where there was minor leakage from my wegovy injections here and there. Not enough to make me think i was missing a dose but enough to make me wonder if I wasn't getting enough.

Last week I did this great trick I learned where I pinched up the skin, then did the injection at the perfect "flat" angle so I can see the yellow bar perfectly, waited for the click and the bar to stop moving plus another ten seconds. And it was perfect. No leaks.

But I tried the exact same method this week and it basically leaked more medication than ever before. It was like the whole dose never went in even though I definitely felt it the injection. I am super frustrated.

Should I be letting the wegovy warm up first? Am I pressing too hard? I have no idea what to do but I'm starting to get really annoyed with how often these wegovy pens fail to get all the meds in.

hi everyone, i’m F24 and i started Wegovy 5 weeks ago at 100.6kg.

i have finished taking the 0.25mg dose by the end of June and today i just had my second 0.5mg dose.

at my last appointment with my doctor the moment i was done with the 0.25mg dose, it turns out i’ve lost 4.8kg with a low calories, high protein, sugar and salt free and low fat diet (because i have low muscle mass) and with not so consistent physical activity. i also used to take appetite suppressants before every meal but then ended up feeling full without them so i stopped taking them.

do you usually diet and work out with Wegovy? if so, does 4.8kg with a 0.25mg dose make sense to you? because i expected to lose more weight tbh so please let me know.

Hi there. currently thinking about getting started.

for Uk users, can you advise me please, on which providers you would or would not recommend?

in particular ease of contacting them regarding dosage scheduling. I don’t like the idea of rushing up and up and would rather start slow and steady.

What if the jealous people are in your family? We’ve all heard the nasty little comments—OMG, she’s totally on Wegovy. So lazy. So obsessed with her looks. Total Ozempic face. What a cheater!
But what if the jealousy comes from someone you don’t want to hurt?
I’ve always encouraged my daughter to be body positive. She was tall and skinny all up until puberty, when she started to have curves. In high school, if she ordered dessert, I did too. If she wanted an extra helping at dinner, I tried to as well. The difference was that she’s tall and has a fast metabolism. I’m short and my metabolism just gave up around age 50. So I just packed on the pounds. But it was something we could complain about together. And I tried to teach her about healthy eating and exercising, but never wanted her to feel bad about an extra helping once in awhile.

Now, I hide my weight loss from her. I’ve worn baggy clothes for months now, despite losing 35 pounds and I still go out for dessert with her any time she wants. She’s out of university now and working full time and she is gaining weight. For the first time in my life, I’m not wearing a swim dress at the beach or on holiday. I don’t flaunt my weight loss, but i like the way I look and feel. I can feel her disappointment when she sees me eating less. The last thing I EVER want to do is make her feel bad about her own body—especially in her early twenties. And I told her, when she’s asked about it, that she could always go on it, though I don’t think she needs to. I always compliment her height and her gorgeous hourglass shape. But she has fears of nausea and vomiting, so I tell her that maybe it’s not for her. Plus, my metabolism has slowed down completely and hers hasn’t.
After trying to model body positivity for her whole life, how can I enjoy how I look and feel knowing that she is secretly jealous of my body transformation? For the first time in forever, I’m being selfish and doing something for ME for a change. But she’s the last person on the planet that I want to hurt or feel bad. What do I do?

Hi all, my wegovy journey so far has been;

0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg, another 1mg, 1.7mg, 2.4mg, and now currently on week 2 of my second lot of 2.4mg.

Since I started I've had zero side effects, and I really count myself lucky, absolutely nothing.

2.4mg starts and my stomach just cannot do food anymore. Eat healthy? Sulphur burps bloating and diarrhea, eat unhealthy? The same. Eat nothing? Ok a day free of issues... lol

It's been daily and is hell, i was wondering if people think its worth me dropping back to 1.7mg where I didn't have this issue?

I've been consistently losing 1kg a week since I started and still am so no plateauing or anything so far.

I've seen other people mention sulphur burps on here which made me so happy to see tbh, it's so hard and awkward explaining that shit to people who have never experienced it :(

I’ve been on Wegovy since early May and the nausea has been really bad. I’m taking a Zofran daily and I’ve thrown up a couple times. The nausea itself is just really difficult.

Has anyone else experienced this? Has it improved for anyone? I’m hoping my body will finally adjust soon but I’m losing hope. I’m up to 0.5 dose and I’m supposed to go up again in two weeks.

Hi everyone!

I'm just wondering if anyone else is struggling to eat takeaway now?

Ordered a burger on Friday night which made me sick. 🤢

Hello all -

1. When did you see a meaningful reduction in your apron belly?
2. Did it happen gradually or all the sudden?

Currently 5’11”, SW: 234, CW: 192

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I’m on week two of .5 and at a friend‘s birthday party yesterday I had some pizza which I was really nervous to eat because previously I would get sick if I ate anything close to junk food and I just really haven’t had that much food noise. But this past week I’ve been craving junk food in general. I’ve picked up my physical activity and workout so I know my body wants a few more calories. But this is out of the norm I actually ate some chocolate today chocolate that I’ve passed by my cupboard for well over two months and just a thought of it was repulsive. I’m just wondering if anyone else has gone through this where the food noise comes back really strong? I’m hoping it’s short-term and neither one of the foods made me sick to my surprise. I would occasionally eat junk food but it wasn’t a staple of my diet before. So I’m quite alarmed at cravings I’ve had the past few days and I’m just looking for support in the community.

F 47y.o. 1m66 93kg. 0.25 injection.

Above and beyond anything I could have wanting and imagining.

I already want to clean out my wardrobe and throw away all my "big size woman" clothes. I am already happy as if I had already lost these 25-30kg to many I am wearing.

Food noise almost disappeared. I feel hunger, but my body feels like eating cucumber and carrots (!!!!!) - and not bread or other carbs like it always needed when I was hungry, nothing else could have stopped the hunger. And not a little.

Now I feel full after a tiny portion of pasta. And at peace. Finally.

I could cry from happiness. "These days are gone my friend". For real. The struggle is over. I know. This medicine is working.

I am planing to be on it forever. I know it's not a cure. It is "only" removing the symptoms as long as it's taken. Fine by me.

God bless pharmaceutical labs and researchers for changing my life forever.
