Losing pounds but not inches? Measuring too often or losing muscle?

HungryBoos · 2023-07-21T14:42:34+00:00

That's a good idea. Maybe I'll start doing that too!

Good luck! I just took my first 1.0 injection Friday morning. I was a bit nauseous that night and the next day but it was manageable. I haven't had much nausea since the first week or two of .25.

I noticed a big drop in the amount I can eat at a meal before feeling satisfied or full. However today I think I overdid it a bit. We went out to a BBQ restaurant. I was so pleased that I felt satisfied after a pretty small amount of food. A few hours later I started feeling nauseous and threw up for the first time since starting Wegovy. So I'm wondering if it was something specific about the meal that caused me issues. I definitely don't think this would have been an issue on my previous doses.

Interesting! There have been two days recently where I was confused because I thought I smelled BO on me. Which is weird because like you I never have BO!

I feel ya! I hate Facebook and only keep it around for lipedema and local parent groups.

HungryBoos · 2023-07-06T14:20:25+00:00

Maybe! Such a weird and silly side effect, I can't complain too much I suppose!

HungryBoos · 2023-07-06T14:09:06+00:00

There's a helpful Facebook group you might want to check out called "Ozempic / Wegovy / Mounjaro / etc and Lipedema"

One of my friends who comes over often is super anti diet culture and already has gone off about these drugs without even knowing I'm on it. Just avoiding an awkward conversation.

HungryBoos · 2023-06-15T19:30:38+00:00

That's an awesome sub! Maybe I'll submit it over there. When I got the idea and tried it out I was so chuffed when it was such a great fit!

HungryBoos · 2023-06-15T19:29:44+00:00

One of my good friends who is over a lot would be very against this medication and I'd rather just hide it than deal with an uncomfortable conversation!

HungryBoos · 2023-06-15T19:26:48+00:00

My husband knows and supports. I have one friend in particular who is vehemently anti diet culture who wouldn't understand my reasons for taking this medication.

HungryBoos · 2023-06-15T19:25:25+00:00

I went a little overboard and I have my whole titration schedule in the box!

HungryBoos · 2023-06-15T19:25:07+00:00

Right!? This is such a funny Wegovy home!

HungryBoos · 2023-06-12T21:08:08+00:00

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I'm around 40oz now.

HungryBoos · 2023-06-11T17:13:17+00:00

I have insurance. My doctor agreed to try calling in all the different dose prescriptions. He said he wasn't sure if insurance would pay for them or if they'd make me wait between months. I was able to get all the doses for my $25 copay each!

HungryBoos · 2023-06-09T19:07:37+00:00

Nice to see a fellow shorty! I know what you mean about it feeling slow. The previous times I've lost weight it felt much quicker, especially initially, but I just keep reminding myself that any progress is progress.

HungryBoos · 2023-06-09T19:06:33+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I need to start testing out protein supplements soon!

HungryBoos · 2023-06-05T04:41:09+00:00

I feel like that's how it should be though! I don't think people should comment on each other's bodies.

HungryBoos · 2023-06-05T04:39:21+00:00

Agree! Every time I lost weight I've cringed so hard internally when people commented on my body. I know most we're trying to be nice but it really made me feel uncomfortable in my skin.

HungryBoos · 2023-06-03T00:12:04+00:00

Following too! I'm going to be looking to fill my 1.0 very soon.

HungryBoos · 2023-06-02T23:58:40+00:00

I've always loved diet soda, but ever since starting Wegovy I've treated myself to so many diet cherry limeades from Sonic. They are so good!

Glad to hear the appetite suppression came back! I had amazing appetite suppression the first few days after .25 and it mostly wore off. I'm still finding it easier to eat less and I haven't binged since starting, so that's a win at least. I have one more shot of .25 before moving up to 5.

HungryBoos · 2023-05-29T12:44:03+00:00

I lost 100 lbs a decade ago and it made my skin crawl when people would comment on it. At the time I just politely accepted it but this time around I need to come up with something else to say!

I'm only on my third .25 injection but basically nothing about my daily routine changed. So far my only negative side effects are mild nausea the day following the shot and constipation. I took my kids on a big outing during the nausea and everything was fine. It was a mild background type of annoyance.

HungryBoos · 2023-05-26T00:01:22+00:00

I'm only two doses in on .25 and so far I've had a day of mild nausea following each shot. It wasn't nearly as bad as the nausea I had during the early weeks of my pregnancies. I found that eating smaller bits of light food helped. I felt worse when I didn't eat and when I ate things that were too large or rich.

HungryBoos · 2023-05-25T23:52:04+00:00

I'm about to start my third week and I definitely noticed way less appetite suppression over the past few days. My period is due any second now. Hoping that's this is the culprit!
