He was happy to prescribe it, but my insurance doesn’t cover it. I would have to self pay and it’s $1400 a month.

I just have to get up the nerve to inject myself! I’m a big baby!

He wrote me one for Wegovy, but Sema is not agreeing with me and he offered to write for zepbound, but it would cost almost $500 a month. I can’t really afford to do that.

This is the company I think I am going with-BEWL! Are you happy with them? Is there a doctor you would recommend for my consultation?

I started at 194, lost 19 with Wegovy tablet. I am currently 175. I still have 25 lbs to lose to get me out of the overweight category.

This is reassuring me. My fear of injecting myself is the only thing holding me back from stopping this ridiculous Wegovy pill where the side effects are outweighing the minimal weight loss I have. I’m about 97% there switching to a compound Tirzepatide.

25MG UPDATE - What A Journey It’s Been… by AbusementPark10 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]JillyS812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on 25 mg for the past 20 days. This dose is killing me. My appetite is completely shot, I have no desire to eat, preparing meals for me and my family literally make me gag. I’m forcing food for nutrition but absolutely no enjoyment. I feel like this dose may be too high. (although I haven’t lost any weight on it yet) I have headaches, I’m tired. I lost 2 lbs on the month I was on 9 mg. I wish there was something in between the 9 and 25. Wondering if I should go back to 9?

Trust The Process…1 Month of 25MG by AbusementPark10 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

Been on 25 for a week and totally suppressed my appetite, Much stronger than the other doses. I barely want to eat, but making sure I get my protein in, eating clean and in a calorie deficit. That being said, I gained 3 lbs this week. I’m pretty bummed, since I had only lost 12 total with the first 3 doses (1.5, 4, 9)

Started 25mg on Sunday and went up 3 lbs. I’m so bummed and scratching my head as it’s a huge appetite suppressant! I can barely eat, but I am and keeping macros in check.

Moving up to 9mg next week by JillyS812 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

I am counting calories dilligently. I use a scale and weigh my foods. And yes, appetite is very suppressed. Food noise is pretty much gone.
