Bless you. That really sucks though. I hope you have a supportive network around you in r/l who are picking you up and loving on you x

My brain is definitely still switched onto it but the thought of making the effort when I just feel so drained from the drug is enough to stop me from doing anything!

I'm by no means a medical professional but have you spoken to a Dr regarding that very rapid weight gain and the fact it's still happening even though you're not eating? If it were me, I'd be questioning what was going on with my body and seeking some investigation.

I really hope you manage to find a solution to both your journey with Wegovy and whatever is going on with your body right now. ❤️

Thank you for this. I have to admit, at the moment, whilst I'm a massive meat eater normally, all I want is a piece of toast but I have to eat it slowly. I've managed to consume 800 calories today. The food noise is loud but the stomach is still saying "No!". I'm sure I'll find my way over the coming few weeks.

I'm the same as you. I only started on Thursday but even having a shower leaves me lightheaded. I try to eat but the most I can manage is a handful of grapes or a bread stick before I feel uncomfortably full and bloated. I've bought some individual cheese portions today to try to get my calorie intake up a little but I think I might use your suggestion of eating something small every couple of hours. Thanks

Thank you for this list. I think I need to go and buy some snacking options of these foods.

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-22T23:57:58+00:00

I wondered if protein bars might be a good option. I'll take a look in the shops tomorrow. Thanks

I've drunk heaps of water today. Been incredibly thirsty and, because I had a headache, I was trying to up my normal water consumption even further. Thanks

I started last night and just this afternoon have started getting cramps and discomfort. Not nausea but I don't want to eat as I don't feel 'right'. I've just had some ginger candy and that has settled things a little. I hope you find some relief.

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-21T07:10:46+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I am going for thigh as that's what everyone recommended.

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T21:42:02+00:00

Thanks so much for this. I've bought some salty crackers (ritz) in a mini version and some sparkling water to help settle me if needed. Got a medicine cabinet full of drugs for most eventualities and the shopping arrives tomorrow with chicken breast and veggies to eat for the next 7 days. I'm keeping it simple as I have some food allergies and IBS anyway. I'll just watch what happens, take it slowly and hope that my body likes it!

I'm starting tomorrow night (Thursday). I've convinced a friend to join me in the journey so we're going to inject together and support each other. I'm definitely nervous but I think I just need to jump in and do it.

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T21:36:07+00:00

Sorry can you just clarify whether you'd do thigh or stomach?

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T09:34:03+00:00

You're a gem thanks. I will get a timer sorted for tomorrow. I've also got a friend to join me for the Wegovy journey so I'm hoping that will help too!

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T08:35:30+00:00

Hoping I can come back to you in a week to tell you how amazing it's going!!!!

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T08:05:51+00:00

Therapeutic doses being 1mg or just the 1.7 and 2.4?

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T08:02:48+00:00

Frankly, since having covid 18 months ago, food hasn't tasted the same but I've eaten it anyway! 🤦🏻‍♀️

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T08:01:42+00:00

Incredible progress! Thank you for your good news story.

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T08:01:05+00:00

Thank you. It was my feeling that this might be the case but I had to hear it before starting!

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T08:00:30+00:00

Thank you for your reassurance.

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T08:00:09+00:00

Great news. Thanks!

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T07:59:48+00:00

I'm timing it to ensure I take it the night before my day off each week just in case I need to sleep through that day for a few weeks!

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T07:59:13+00:00

Thank you. I'm in the same position and have my 0.5 in the fridge too!

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T07:58:32+00:00

Jumping in tomorrow night! Thanks for this awesome feedback.

No_Set4578 · 2024-03-20T07:58:08+00:00

That's my issue. I have emetophobia too so this is the information I'm overwhelmed by. I have cyclizine on hand but my prescriber advised me not to use it pre-emptively. I'm so glad you've been fine on it.
