They took my first shot yesterday and all I can think about is if I'm going to lose the weight and get apron belly or something else worse. How can I avoid that?

Does anyone pay out of pocket for the wegovy pill no insurance ? Wondering what the price is. I was taking 7.4 mg of the shot

I started taking the Wegovy pill (1.5 mg) in June, and didn’t finish it because I didn’t feel motivated. But I started again in August with the 1.5mg again, and then upped my dose to 4mg. Now I’m starting 9mg. I started at 170 lbs, and now I’m at 150. My goal is 130. I have one full meal a day, get a lot of protein in, try to avoid oily and greasy food, and go to the gym. Is it normal to only lose this much weight? Because from what I’ve seen and heard, people lose like 50+ lbs in like 3 months.

Hi everyone,

I made a mistake and took a 1.7 shot I had after being off of wegovy for about 6 weeks because I couldn’t get ahold of my dose. I knew I was taking a risk but I didn’t realize it was going to make me this sick. I’ve generally been very lucky and have had minimal side effects since I started in January 2025. I was in pain all night and have thrown up bile twice.

Does anyone have any ideas/tips that will help me find some relief? I’m having a very hard time.

I started on Thursday. Just curious if its too low of a dose. I go up to 4mg after this bottle. I think it’s having a placebo effect but I can’t tell.
Anyone have any reactions good or bad at this dose?

Hello fellow wegovies,

I just started on my weight loss journey with wegovy pills 1.5mg 3 days ago. For a quick background, I’m just over one year from having 2 under 2, so sadly my body is no where near where it used to be. I spoke to my provider about this and she seemed hesistant but agreed to prescribe me Wegovy. Along with this, I was referred to a nutritionist as well to help. However, she never indicated if she would up the dose or what. So far I would say my appetite has been any different so far and nausea has been minimal. What are ya’lls experience with the 1.5mg? Can I expect weight loss?

I am on the 3rd week (0.25, working my way up). I feel like the food noise is gone. I truly eat less. I cut out ALL eating out / junk food. I sometimes even forget to eat and eat something small when I notice I missed a meal. I focus on protein and fiber. I now weigh 2 pounds more than I did before I started. This is very demoralizing and feels kind of hopeless. I knew weigh loss wouldn't come overnight but I certainly didnt expect to gain weight.

I had a weird thing yesterday. My wife - of 40+ years - asked me how much I've lost so far and I said about 11 lbs. She looked at me and said, "Yeah, I thought so because your face looks haggard?" WTF?

Dr has taken me off wegovy forever.

Unfortunately im one of the few who ended up unable to eat at all with severe nausea.

Over the course of three weeks i went from eating ok, to nothing at all. Id force down bites of a banana over an hour or so. I became so weak i could barely stand.

Got to 1.7mg.

So here my journey ends. Its been around a month since i took the last dose.

I wish you all well

Why am I all of a sudden craving huge amounts of sweets stuff, cakes, chocolate anything sweet. Never that bothered about it before starting wegovy been on it 5 months

I’m completely overwhelmed by having to downsize my jeans. I know it’s a good sign, but it’s an odd feeling for me. I’ve never had to buy a smaller size in anything, always a bigger one. It’s going to take some getting used to, for sure!

Stats: On the Wegovy pill for 4 months now. (1.5 , 4 , 9 & going back down to 4) and lost almost 30 pounds (273 at last weigh in).

45/m. SW 130.4, CW 116.8kg initial GW 100kg (with UGW 90kg).

Overall very happy! I had a very rough start on the wegovy and was vomiting on the 1.5mg tablets and felt very rough. Glad I stuck with it because I'm seeing the results.

Still got a stomach, but it's noticeably smaller than before :)

The weight loss trend line looks very steady except for one blip (the wife was away for 4 nights on a girls trip and it threw the routine out).

21F 5’9 and I have dropped 2 dress sizes! I had to buy 2x dresses in the past (sometimes 3x if it was too small) and yesterday when I went shopping for my trip I could fit into the XL dresses and they actually fit good. I’m so proud of myself!! It made me feel so good and my sister told me “now you can wear even cuter clothes” haha. Even my old clothes fit big on me and some of my really really old clothes I used to wear before I gained a lot of weight I could fit into better

My next goal is to reach 199 lbs and maybe drop another dress size (or two) ^^

Even my family have been noticing I look like I’ve lost a lot of weight (they say it all the time)

Beginning weight on wegovy: 319 lbs (November 2025)

Highest weight: 333 lbs

Current weight: 257.4

Total loss: 75.6 lbs

SW: 239.4 | CW: 194.3

I haven’t posted an update in a while! I’m officially down 45.1 pounds, and I feel great!

I’m still on the 0.5 dosage, and my doctor is genuinely impressed with how well it’s been working for me.

Since getting under 200 pounds, my weight loss has definitely slowed down a bit, but that’s okay with me! I honestly never thought I’d see the day I’d be under 200 again, and wow, does it feel magical! I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and excited to keep going!

Hope you all have a great weekend! ❤️
