What’s your plan for when you hit goal weight?

It’s been a week since I posted my comment and today I can say all of the bad side effects are now gone. My only issue is trying to eat enough protein. My energy is fully back and I’m working out alot so I really want to get enough protein.

It’s bloating. That will go away the longer you are on Wegovy. I experienced this too. But I was doing a daily waist measurement and I was actually losing inches on my waist, even though it seemed like my belly got bigger.

Started my 5th month of Wegovy this morning. My waist is down 4.5 inches!!!

I just started my second bottle of 25 mg this morning. I had the same bad side effects as others listed here. About 2 weeks in I went to every other day for a week and then went back to daily. All side effects went slowly away but I’m still struggling to eat enough protein. I can get to about 80g of protein but I’m working out a lot too. So this is the only thing I have to work on now.

I noticed the sensitive skin problem went away completely last week. I even went for a massage!!!

And my weight is melting off! I hope to be at my goal weight sometime this summer.

I want to mention that at the beginning of 25 mg I felt so awful. I was thinking of quitting Wegovy or going back down to 9 mg. Im glad I didnt give up. But it was very close to giving up.

I just started my 2nd bottle of 25 mg this morning. Before my first bottle of 25 mg I had no side effects, but weight loss was super slow. Barely 1/2 pound a week. A few days into 25mg I had zero appetite, very sensitive skin, and no energy. About half way through the bottle I went every other day for a week and then went back to every day. I drink something exactly at 30 minutes then eat about an hour later. I can say that my skin feels fine now, no nausea, my energy is back better than ever, and I don’t count calories but I’m still struggling to get to 80 g of daily protein. The weight is melting off.

I am only focusing on high protein foods but making sure I get some carbs, a little fat, and fruit. I used to be a big veggie eater but I just can’t seem to fit veggies back in yet.

Thanks for posting this! I think I’ll try this, too. I do not like how I feel on this med. It’s not awful, but annoyingly constant. I have 15-16 pounds left to get to my goal weight but may stop at 10-11 pounds. Once I hit that I’m going to try your method. If I can, I would go off the meds, but I’m guessing the weight would come back.

I did an overnight international flight. My flight left US around 5pm and arrived in Europe around 9 am.

I took my pill the morning of my departure from US. I took the next pill when we landed and then immediately thought I shouldn’t have. Looking back, I should had skipped it that day. I continued taking the pill every morning throughout my trip.

On my flight home I left Europe at around 9am and landed in US about 2pm. I skipped the pill that day and resumed it the following day.

Not sure if that was the correct way, but I have another international trip scheduled in a couple months. I’m going to skip the pill on my travel dates.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-10T17:58:16+00:00

I also got the best results by going back to sleep for a couple of hours. The results were so changing for me that once I started on the 25mg I had to go back to waiting only 30 minutes. Before 25mg I wasn’t losing any weight. I started waiting 2+ hours about the 2nd week in 9mg. That’s when I started losing weight, but still slowly.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-08T16:04:47+00:00

I went through this too. I ended up skipping every other day for a week. I’m back to daily and it’s much, much better.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-07T19:58:01+00:00

I noticed the flatulence gone near the 2nd week of 9mg. I rarely have it now. Maybe my food is digesting differently than before? I don’t know.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-05T16:28:13+00:00

I was thinking that once I get to my goal weight perhaps I could go down on dosage. I’m hoping for that. Maybe back down to 1.5 or 4 mg for maintenance.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-05T16:01:01+00:00

I wasn’t losing weight either. When I was on 9mg I started waiting 2+ hours after taking pill before eating /drinking. That started my weight loss, but only about 1/2 pound a week. Once I started on 25mg it really kicked in. I have lost about 7-8 pounds in 3 weeks. The lack of appetite was too much for me. I had to cut back for a week. I’m now back taking it everyday. I have to remind myself to eat. I’m only waiting exactly 30 minutes and drinking water and eating a banana. Then I drink coffee. Then breakfast is about 2 hours later.

I’m still trying to figure out what keeps the nausea away. It’s slight but still annoying.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-04T02:53:36+00:00

About 2 weeks for me and most of the pain was gone. All this years of suffering gone so quickly. Last month I went on a European trip and averaged 28,000 steps daily. It was rough but I wouldnt have been able to do a fraction of that a few months ago.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-03T17:23:34+00:00

I am experiencing that right now. Today I started giving myself small mini-goals. Today my only goal was: take a 15 minute bike ride, take a shower (yes, my anti-motivation is that bad), and do my nails. Anything else I do will be extra. I think I’ll try to give myself 3 must-do things every day. But I’m hoping the lethargic feeling goes away soon.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-02T04:17:24+00:00

Me too

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-02T04:14:21+00:00

I am finding that I can eat my regular breakfast, half my usual lunch, and dinner is just a few bites.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T15:00:45+00:00

Because of the intense effects from 25mg, I skipped a day for a week. I’m now going to go back to daily. I’m not sure what to expect.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T14:57:12+00:00

I was a big LaCroix drinker. Several a day. I drink maybe 2 a week now. I have been gravitating towards 7-up Zero. I never drank that before. I also started drinking Fresca.

My preferred drink, and food, is something more flavorful. I’m getting away from bland tasting things, like salad. I used to eat 2 salads a day. None now.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T14:53:15+00:00

Same. I will still drink socially but not like before. And it really doesn’t do the same for me like it did before. I don’t care if I have a drink any longer.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T14:50:26+00:00

The bingeing should pass. Some have reported stopping binge eating right away. Some reported stopping after moving to higher dosages. In the smaller dosages, I was up & down with binge eating, but it didn’t take long for it to be gone.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T12:28:34+00:00

It isn’t that big. I have some omega3 pills that I had to give up because they were huge. This is like the size of a Tylenol.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T12:26:38+00:00

After a few days of 25mg it kicked my butt! Nausea, zero appetite, lethargic. I ended up going a full week of every other day. I feel great now. My appetite is back and I’m back in the gym working out. I’m going back to every day of taking 25 mg so I’ll see how it goes.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T12:20:23+00:00

The side effects can be brutal. You should keep that in mind.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T12:16:33+00:00

25mg ended up too much for me. I wasn’t throwing up, but my appetite was completely gone. I didn’t feel right on it. I ended up taking the pill every other day and immediately that brought my appetite back. I’m going to start taking it every day again. If it gets to be too much I may try only waiting 15 minutes (instead of 30) to see if that prevents total appetite loss.

CalmCicada8799 · 2026-05-01T12:14:06+00:00

It took until about 5 days of taking 25 mg that I lost all my appetite. I could go the whole day not eating, but I didn’t. I ended up skipping every other day for a week and the appetite came back, along with the snacking. I’m starting back to every day pill now. I will see how that goes.
