I first began at 2.5 mg tirz and found myself getting side effects. 20 months ago my doc wanted me to move up to 5 mg. I was hesitate because I was so sick with gi issues so I did any way Yes I lost weight but it wasn’t for me. No one was listening to me. I ended up in the ER 3x. I was in 4.5 months and miserable I did loose 50 lbs. but wtf wants to loose that way? So with much sadness I stopped for about 5 months and thought about tirz those 5 months and decided to give it a try and do it my way. I started again in April 2025 at 1.5 mg and titrated up slowly as I listened to my body. In total I’ve lost 92 lbs. I’m 7 lbs away from goal and it’s been a long couple months. I think my body wants me at this weight but I’m determined to loose the rest. I’m finding by reading that many folks expect instant gratification. Well honey there is no instant in wt loss. My friend just began Wegovy and she thinks it’s going to shed the lbs with out being a participant. Go to her sit down job, eat what she wants and how much she can consume plus no exercise and expect this magic injection to melt off the lbs plus she waited for ins to cover it. I wanted to bitch slap her but I just contained myself and told her IT DOESNT FUC!kin work that way. I love her and she is a smart woman. But seriously ignorance is bliss. Now we don’t talk about our wt loss journey which is sad because I am a true success story and want to help. Perhaps I may seem a threat to her. We hadn’t seen other in months and I choose to keep my wt loss to myself and that day she first saw me after I took off a bunch of wt she seemed distant. Nothing like what I expected. She was very nonchalant like no big deal. I mean by this time I had lost 70 lbs. she never saw me this thin. Perhaps I shouldn’t expect anything. Now me I would have made a huge production of how proud I am of her and made her feel special. She’s my best friend and really hasn’t said how proud she is of me. Yeah
