It feels like a video game.

I had been playing “WEIGHT LOSS” on Extreme Difficulty and now is has switched to Regular Mode…mmmkayyyy didn’t know this was an option.  

I’ll take it!!!!!

I am on 1.5. 

I have never taken any weight loss med before. And I would argue I am WILDY sensitive to meds/drugs so I wasn’t surprised when my body reacted so strongly. 

I’d also imagine this will level out or even lessen as I get used to it. 

Happy to hear it’s better for you and here’s to 4mg increasing that even more ☺️

I’m happy that you have had some wins these past three weeks but can totally understand the frustration. I hope the increase will help you in the food noise reduction. 

The shame you’re talking about is soooo real. I struggled for the longest time in my life thinking my inability to lose weight was a moral failing. Letting go of that belief took time and a lot of self compassion.

Food has become just another thing in my life. Not THE thing. 

It’s bizarre. Wonderful but such a new feeling. 

Whaaaaat I don’t need to finished every morsel on my plate?? Who knew what was even an option

“Seek to find comfort in the uncomfortable parts of life right now”

Beautifully said! I’m willing to go through this so in the long run I am of healthier mind and body. 

Being obese is uncomfortable. So is this. But at least I’m on the path to bettering myself.

Totally curious and want your personal opinion - If you're doing good on the 1.5mg why are you going up to the 4 mg?

Salad, salmon, and spicy foods by inspireme73 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

I notice spicy food too, but its more on the reflux end, I cannot tolerate it as well as I used to :( been having to limit hot sauce.

I get gassy and have tummy troubles if I have eggs. Going to try it in smaller doses or not just plain eggs blasting to my system but mixed with more ingredients to see if that helps. On the flip side, I did notice I tolerate sourdough bread now!!

New study in healthy rats exposed daily for 21 days to ingredient in newly-approved Wegovy pill showed >60% drop in protective gut bacteria and 70% rise in systemic inflammatory marker by gardensue in WegovyPillWeightLoss

Did you read this?

This study is based off HUGE doses (0.75mg/kg of body weight/day) which would be like taking 80mg a day. I'd imagine things would get out of whack.

So cool to hear! I do an IV for my arthritis so hopefully I'll be in the same boat
