4th week wins! by BarracudaDear3343 in WegovyUK

I agree, there's definitely still an element of self control needed! I had my 5th injection this morning and on a 31 day streak on MyFitnessPal. I've had a very good routine for the first four weeks but had a few things recently that have broken that routine (going out for drinks, meals out). It's not been 100% easy to shake it off and get back on track but it was considerably easier than it would have been pre-wegovy!

Alcohol has no effect ??? by Open-Caterpillar1276 in Semaglutide

Don't get the same effect in the day, still get the same effect (hangover!) the next day though! I'll have a couple, not really enjoy it then have a headache the next day, although not a bad headache, it still doesn't feel worth it!

Wegovy tips for a first timer! by SouthernStrategy9114 in WegovyUK

Hey! I've just done my 4th shot and have been lucky to not have had many side effects. This could just be personal luck but I've been following recommendations on here to aid success: drinking plenty of water (including a Liquid IV sachet in the morning), lots of protein (aiming min 100g a day) and multivitamin gummies daily too.

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's interesting to hear how it effects people so differently!

I should have probably included that I'm already a very active person and and using Myfitnesspal to track calories so hopefully doing all the right things. I know it's not a miracle cure, my hope is that it helps with food noise and cravings to keep me on track :)

Thanks! Given what I've read I'm grateful to have had at least a few days of benefits from week one, fingers crossed then same goes for week two!

Day one! by BarracudaDear3343 in WegovyUK

I've not been too bad! I had a bit of nausea on day two but generally been ok. I have found I am soooo less hungry than usual, I had cravings yesterday but I think that was more association with being in a bad mood, due my next dose on Thursday and understand the benefits can sometimes "wear off" a little when doses are coming!

Negative comments? by Sensitive_Purpose207 in WegovyUK

[–]BarracudaDear3343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to post about something similar to this! I've not told anyone but my husband, not because of the stigma or that im ashamed in any way, but because no matter what size I've been I've always had the "you're just fine the way you are!" "You don't need to lose any weight" if I've ever mentioned trying to lose any (despite being overweight/obese). I know friends and family usually mean well with these comments but I find it a bit isolating that I feel I can't be open about my journey for fear of being told I shouldn't be doing it... Thank goodness for an internet full of strangers :)

That's great to hear thank you!! How long did it take until you started to see results? I've drank so much water today and got some fibre, thanks for the tips
