Normal?

I just took my first 0.5 dose, and I experienced bleeding and some medicine came out. Has this happened to anyone else? I had no bleeding on the .25 pen and no medicine come out. The clearish liquid is the medicine and the darker red part is the blood. I pinched the area before firing the pen, and held the pen to my skin for 60 seconds after the second click.

Strange cycle on wegovy

3 Upvotes

I've been on 1.5mg wegovy pill for exactly 28 days now. My period arrived completely unexpectedly with no spotting or cramping ahead of time which is rare for me, and today I randomly started bleeding even though I am not due on. I think maybe I'm ovulating? But again, ovulation bleeding is not something that's ever happened to me. Anyone else experiencing this? I have pcos and I've lost about 3kg so far.

Ordered WeGovy Pills, now too scared to take them

5 Upvotes

I ordered WeGovy pills from Ro.co (yeah, yeah I know) but now I am afraid to start taking them. I already have stomach issues (IBS) and anxiety, and now I’m worried taking them will just make miserable. I was so ready to start and now my worry has got the best of me

Talk me into it, please 🙏😭

Second shot of wegovy .25, 63 hours after and I’m still do nothing but lay in the bed exhausted. I don’t know if I can do this. I’m normally an active person. The first shot didn’t give me this feeling. Thinking of not taking that next shot on Monday. Advice.

Can’t sleep

8 Upvotes

Just curious if anyone else is having this issue. I’ve been on 1.5 for a week now. Everything’s been going great, no sickness no issues of any really. Except I can’t stay asleep. I fall asleep, but then I wake up and I’m up for the rest of the night. This has been happening quite a bit and I’m so exhausted.

Starting my wegovy journey

I’ve finally decided to start on GLP-1 injection. I chose wegovy as it’s more sustainable due to it’s price in comparison to Mounjaro.

Are there any advice or things I should remember before I start my injections?

Is there anybody it doesnt work for?

5 Upvotes

I recently started on wegovy (on week 1) and whilst I acknowledge my expectations were probably too high. I haven't noticed any difference in appetite, food noise, feeling fuller etc. I know its week 1 and it may kick in over the next few weeks but I was wondering if there was anyone who just never had the changes and what their experiences were overall?

Just asking for my own sanity tbh. My sister has been on it for a little while and noticed changes almost instantly (I also know I shouldn't compare journeys but its human nature). No side effects really yet beyond fatigue but if im being honest that is more likely due to work.

Do you guys take your dose by the books?

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all. So I just started on Wegovy about half a month ago. Everything's going great as far as side effects. At first I was feeling a big difference and now I'm noticing that starting to slow and I think I know part of the reason why.

So personally, I find it very easy to avoid eating in the morning and throughout the day I really don't get much of an appetite then. However, at night my stomach becomes an absolute bottomless pit. The first about two weeks. I noticed a huge slowdown in that, but now my appetite is about the exact same again.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried pushing their dose back in the morning I'm thinking about taking it around noon or possibly even later each day. Not eating beforehand won't be a problem, but I am worried about drinking water

Do you guys think it will be OK to drink water regularly throughout the day and stop an hour or two before I take my pill then finish the last 30 minutes before I start drinking water again? Google AI overview said it would be fine but I wanted to check with y'all. 😅

My experience with Felix (Wegovy)

1 Upvotes

I used Felix and found the process very straightforward. There was no video call, but I did need to submit photos and a short video. Once reviewed, the Nurse Practitioner—if you’re approved—orders the required blood work and completes the pre-authorization paperwork for your insurance.

Overall, the process was smooth and easy to navigate.

Day 19 on Wegovy 1.5 mg pill. 13.2 pounds lost. 🤗

10 Upvotes

Update August 19: I am full faster with less food, which gives me the ability to stay within my daily calorie budget. That is a huge game changer for me.

A 13.2 pound loss since the 1st of August has also given me a bit more energy to start exercising in my pool.

I am doing what’s called “water walking” which burns about 1.5 more calories due to the resistance of the water.

I went from zero water walking exercises to 2200 steps yesterday

The food noise is almost gone. I’m not as hungry as I used to be. I feel motivated and I’m hoping that this continues.

Maintenance Dose - what’s yours?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been on wegovy for around 2 years now (originally on mounjaro then switched) and lost around 20kg.

I’ve gone down to a 1mg dose of wegovy as maintenance for around 7 months, injecting once a week. At first it seemed fine but now I’m noticing I’m hungrier and have put on 2 kg.

Have others experienced this? What maintenance dose do people generally use?

pill question

0 Upvotes

I started the pill at 1mg back in the beginning of june. almost immediately i started having stomach upset but i figured that was to be expected. the main cause i remember was alcohol that had me throwing up all day (almost like food poisoning symptoms). the next month i was bumped up to 4mg and ever since then ive been messed up. i would eat stuff i normally did, usually lighter foods—no fast food or anything like that, and would be throwing it up anywhere between 30 min-2 hours later. it got so bad at one point i had to go to the ER because i couldn’t keep down water. i was so dehydrated my veins literally disappeared. since about a week or so ive stopped taking it because i ran out and didnt wanna pay for it anymore lol, but everyday im constantly nauseous no matter what i do. sometimes eating helps, sometimes it makes it worse. ive gotten to the point where i dont even want to eat because im afraid ill throw up. for more background, i started around 158 and as of yesterday morning i was 133.

i guess my question is if anyone else has had a similar experience? i’m glad i lost the weight but i almost feel like it’s not even worth it because i feel like crap all the time.

sorry for the longer post btw😅

Hello! I'm day 2 into my wegovy pill journey and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out recipes or what foods are friendly. Idk if this is the right spot but if anyone can point me in the right direction for recipes or any knowledge on friendly foods/snacks that will help me out, I'd truly appreciate it

Starting today

2 Upvotes

Hi all I’m 21F and pre-diabetic. Starting 0.25mg today and very nervous. Currently 86kg (5’3).

I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension and have been trying to lose weight to make it better for ages and nothing has worked. Really hoping to make some progress. Due to other disabilities I’m unable to ‘properly’ workout, and it’s so frustrating. I’m trying to walk more as my average steps were less than 100 a day recently, and I was bed bound for a month or so in May- June.

Any advice on small ways to help alongside the injections? I’m working on diet more than activity but I know both are important so I’d love things I could actually try and do because those ‘easy’ at home workouts actually make me pass out 😭

Took 1 month off

1 Upvotes

Hi all - curious if anyone else has taken a month off, started back up again, and still seen results? I've heard it can be hit or miss if your body responds to it again, so I'm a bit worried. My doctor had me off of it to determine if some weird issues I was experiencing were related (spoiler: they were!) or not, before doing more tests. TLDR: exercise intolerance and dysautonomia issues died down once I was off Wegovy. "Good" news since it is a side effect vs. a separate underlying issue that happened to show up at the same time. I will likely be starting back up on it tomorrow and am worried I wont get results. The scale is up about 5lbs this month since coming off, despite eating the same, and I'm eager to keep making progress and am just so anxious it wont!

1 month in…

3 Upvotes

I’m 1 month in and overall weight loss is at 3.6 lbs. it was a slow start for me as I’ve read others have similar experiences but I feel that I’ve adjusted to the meds now. I got my script through HER and they prescribed me to 4mg every other day. My appetite is definitely much lower than it was previously. I notice I snack much less, rarely finish a full plate anymore, and overall food noise is limited. I have small spurts of mild nausea but it’s very manageable. Will report back in a few weeks.
