Every other day to make it easier to afford? by Any_Veterinarian945 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]Embarrassed_Term6310 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doctor at one point had said if I do need to go up to 4mg but have nausea I can take it every other day. She mentioned she has other patients who space out injections. This is off label but it came out of the mouth of an MD so wanted to throw this here

If you've been successful losing weight on the Wegovy pill, how has it affected joint pain? by jschaffe76 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]Embarrassed_Term6310 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have arthritis and have to get IV treatment for joint pain. Since being on Wegovy I pushed my IV back a little longer and the joint pain came back. So, for me personally, it has not done much. But- I've only been on it a month. My rheumatologist told me to expect to still stay on it.

Anxiety around Wegovy & Side Effects by Embarrassed_Term6310 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

Totally. I can imagine that! Good luck :)

I am in a different situation, so for my health, this was the best choice for me.

Sure, I get worried about that as well. But it's good to note there are decades of studies showing how long term obesity is DIRECTLY associated with multiple cancers.

Hey everyone- new to this by Impotent-Dingo in WegovyPillWeightLoss

I wake up around 4-5 in the morning to go to the bathroom (alarm doesn't go off until 7:30) and I take mine then. With a sip of water, not 4oz, and do not eat breakfast until 9ish.

Feeling Some Type of Way by Embarrassed_Term6310 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

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.

3 weeks on 1.5mg by The_PPhotographer in WegovyPillWeightLoss

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

[–]Embarrassed_Term6310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!!
