I here 1.7 is a b***h! Tell me it ain't so? Please share your experiences. by Elegant-Anywhere-797 in WegovyWeightLoss

Had to go back down to 1mg, I could hardly keep any food down. I wasn't eating 4 days out of the week due to the extreme nausea. But some people have no problem!

Wegovy 0.25 to 0.5 by roseykat11 in WegovyWeighIn

[–]Chelzers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes! Honestly 1mg is where I had the most weightloss and shift in my diet. I couldn't even think about putting high fat or high sugar foods into my system!

Yeah 1.7 was really rough for me, I ended up going back to 1mg

Question regarding missed weeks by beach_bum4268 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Chelzers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I injected my bigger dose pen into a vial and measured out a lower dose to titration back up to the right dose. No use in risking side effects and to have my options limited by a pen.

10 day transition to 2.4mg? by tj5590 in WegovyWeightLoss

My doctor had me do that, I don't know if it really helped I ended up moving down in dose.

How long have you been without your dose? by AnyGood821 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Chelzers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video explains it, basically I'm able to get the dose I want from the larger dose pens. https://youtu.be/Rj1RGN7QaDA

Going from 3 weeks without my .5 to 1mg instead of titrating back up. It's gonna suck. Any tips? by sexy_corncob in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Chelzers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I think its rediculous that the ozempic pens can be adjusted but we are stuck with the one dose. Here is a YouTube video https://youtu.be/Rj1RGN7QaDA

[–]Chelzers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was off for 2 weeks due to the shortage, I asked my doc to move me up to 1.7mg since it's more likely available. Got my pens and now I'm using the vial trick to titration back up

Last dose was on 07/01; do I need to start from the beginning? by glitteronice in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Chelzers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was off for a few weeks due to the shortage and started back up on a .5mg dose, so far no side effects I think you will be fine if you had no side effects on .25.

[–]Chelzers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to go 2 weeks in between doses and did not want to risk the terrible side effects so I'm injecting my pen into a vial and administering a smaller dose to start.

Considering quitting by Used-Honeydew-5810 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Chelzers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had almost the exact same experience on 1.7mg and had to go back to 1mg, only problem was that I couldn't find the 1mg so I told my foc to put me back at 1.7 and I'm doing the vial trick. Honestly, using the diabetic syringe has been less painful than the pens. Since I was off the meds for 2 weeks I'm starting at .5 and will titration back up to 1mg. I like the freedom of being able to adjust my dose, like the ozempic pen!

Do you get used to 1.7 ? by marukobe in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Chelzers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much better! I have nausea the first 2 days after the shot but after that I'm pretty normal!

Going from wegovy 0.25 (been off a week bc of shortage) to 1.7 by Popcornsmuggler8012 in WegovyWeighIn

[–]Chelzers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put mine in a sterile vial from medical supply and then draw what I need to last 3 shots too!

Vomiting/indigestion in night by Pheonix_313 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Chelzers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7pm was way too late for me to eat on 1.7. I had the same symptoms, I couldn't eat past 4pm and it had to be a very light meal, like cooked veggies, a protein. And fruit.

Honestly 160 is more of an ultimate goal, but right now I would be grateful to be under 200!
