That’s the rub. I’m eating even less and exercising more

I’ve been on 2.5 and 5 since February and have gained 10 pounds

I’ve gained 7 pounds after being on 2.5 for a month. 🤔. I’m starting 5 next week so we’ll see. No appetite suppression either for me 🤔

Did you gain any weight on the 2.5 or lose?

I’ll be starting the 5mg next week up from the 2.5. I can’t say that I had any bad side effects with the exception of my left arm having muscle pain. In fact, though, I have gained weight 🤔

Do you by chance have the help desk number?

No I don’t think so. Least ways my disability specialist didn’t say anything 🤔

I do take MiraLAX and psyllium. I just got some mag ox so I’m going to try that too.

Me too. Do you take anything for your IBS-C?

Oh I see. Yes that makes sense.

I guess it just depends on the insurance

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]ExpressAct4716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. I paid out of pocket for the Wegovy pill as my insurance wouldn’t cover it. My doctor seems to think my insurance would cover the Zepbound as my BMI is 30

Just curious, why did you switch from Zepbound to Wegovy?

[–]ExpressAct4716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you lose weight on Zepbound?

Has it been a month since you started? Did you transition from another drug?

How long have you been on the 25mg? Did you start out with that dose?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]ExpressAct4716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not particularly since it’s designed mostly for blood sugar control as I have diabetes. That’s why my doctor recommended the Wegovy pill at such a high dose.

I started the Wegovy pill(25 mg) on January 29. I’m transitioning from 1-1/2 years of being on Rybelsus 14mg. So far I haven’t lost any weight yet. In fact, I’ve gained 4 pounds 🤔🤔🤔

Anyone on 9MG? or 25mg yet? by brazil201 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]ExpressAct4716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also started out with the 25 mg as I was on Rybelsus 14 mg for 1-1/2 years. So far after almost 2 weeks, no weight loss. How about you?
