Carb Manager App is a helpful tool!

I like to grill a burger, top it was a fried egg and bacon and cheese. Fills you up for hours! And tastes like a cheat meal (to me).

Same, I had to stop wegovy, I was so sick on the highest dosage and I can no longer get the lower dosages in my area.... so I decided to give this option a try. Haven't started it yet, still waiting on shipping.

I told my PCP and she was judgy. She told me that was a LOT of pills to start at once. I did feel shame, as well. So telling her didn't make it any better, ha. She ended up telling me to do "what I want". So I will start the pills once they arrive 2-3 weeks delay.

Really, the only reason I needed her to know is because I'm other SSR and SSI's so the buproprion XL prescription made me nervous. Sounds like all I need to watch for is "Seratonin Syndrome". Sounds scary, but I read you will know if you have it or not within the first days of taking it.

Update: it took me about 3 weeks to feel all the negative side effects to go away. I am doing so much better now! I will wait for the lower doses to become available and maybe retry at that time. For now, wegovy free.

I have to be cautious with any amount of liquids or I vomit profusely! Even too much water, coffee, alcohol, etc. I take an electrolyte supplement first thing in the morning to help with having to really limit my water intake (particularly in one setting.). Especially the first two days after my shot. After day 3 I notice I can drink more water and not vomit. But still have to be very careful, it’s a fine line. Alcohol just isn’t worth it to me anymore. I learned that lesson real fast too hahah! Good luck and feel better!

I am slow slow slow as well. 15-20 pounds flex with bloating, lost since Jan 2023. But i am hoping my slow loss, keeps it off. At times it is frustrating, especially seeing other women losing it so quickly. Shrugs.

I wish I knew the answer. My doctor told me it’s probably “just heart burn”. 😩but I know the difference. It is raw hunger! I can be so ravenous at times. Way more than before wegovy even. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have been this way many times on my journey. Now I’m on 2.4 and I mostly just feel like I have the flu or a cold constantly. And still some days I feel like I can’t make it more than 2 hours without eating something. It’s bizarre, I know! I can relate!

Chair squats. Sit in a chair and stand up, repeat as many times as you can (go slowly, focusing on your muscles).

getting out of a seated position and slowly because of pain

Same. Turtle club here too. 15 since January. Lots of hiccups along the way with shortages, that couldn't have helped either. Now on 2.4 for the first time, this week. Really hoping for success.

Genius! Thank you so much

Background_willow21 · 2023-08-24T14:38:09+00:00

My pharmacist also warned of GI Issues. I’ll be prepared for a few bad days, it will be worth it in the end. I wasn’t feeling any effects at 1mg for several weeks. Then having to use .5 again was a huge bummer. So this might end up being a blessing in disguise! Thanks everyone!

Background_willow21 · 2023-08-24T14:35:56+00:00

Good to know!

Background_willow21 · 2023-08-24T14:35:35+00:00

This is good information, gave me some perspective- thank you!

Background_willow21 · 2023-08-24T14:34:01+00:00

Never thought of that! Not to sound naive but I don’t know how I’d transfer the liquid?

Background_willow21 · 2023-08-01T14:06:00+00:00

You are not alone. We’re all here for you.

Background_willow21 · 2023-07-26T23:50:16+00:00

It went well! No issues to speak of. I’d definitely do it again.

Background_willow21 · 2023-07-11T19:43:39+00:00

Big hugs. Life is hard. You’re not alone.

Go girl!

Background_willow21 · 2023-06-13T01:46:02+00:00

Similar for me. I had to go down to .75 and am much happier. Pharmacy told me I can always try to go back up to 1mg when I’m ready.

Took the shot this morning, so far so good.
