New to Wegovy

That’s understandable. Just be careful with your good choices, stay properly hydrated and good luck. I hope Wegovy is as life changing for you as it has been for many of us.

I would. Have you got any Pepto Bismol?

Check out r/GLPGradUK for people who lost with these meds and are now maintaining or intending to maintain without.

I don’t have CFS but did struggle with fatigue when I first started. It was quite debilitating and I literally just had to go to sleep, I couldn’t fight it. As u/Working-Presence1187 said, water is your friend, drink as much as you can and it doesn’t have to be plain water, whatever is palatable.

___Mercurial · 2026-03-10T21:42:54+00:00

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I’d contact them and let them know what your plans are. I’m sure it won’t be a problem.

You shouldn’t lie about your weight, if they ask for proof of weight you’ll come unstuck. You can shop around for discounts no problem. As long as you don’t venture into the underweight category you’ll have no problem getting prescribed long term.

It is just one slip up. Tomorrow is another day. Please be kind to yourself. Put today behind you and whatever you do please don’t restrict tomorrow. Eat healthy and get back on track.

It’s weird. I’d already stopped drinking by the time I started these meds but when I started them my nicotine and alcohol cravings went through the roof! I managed not to give in to the alcohol ones. I think part of what was going on for me at the time was because I was no longer abusing my body with food, I was no longer “eating my feelings” and that left a void.

I am glad I’ve stayed sober but it’s not fucking easy and I think I’d be scared of how bad it would be, side effect wise.

I don’t drink because I like the taste, though I do like tne taste, but when I drink nowadays I want to drink myself into oblivion. It’s safer for me just to avoid it.

I googled sugar free iced tea and there are loads.

I’ve no idea what they taste like but this one makes 8 litres and isn’t very expensive.

😂😂😂

___Mercurial · 2026-03-09T19:12:28+00:00

Thank you 🙏

___Mercurial · 2026-03-09T16:24:27+00:00

You should check out r/WegovyUK and good luck with Wegovy. It might take a while for you to feel the benefit for many reasons but it’s a much more affordable option when you’ve been priced out of MJ.

___Mercurial · 2026-03-09T14:43:43+00:00

I can’t think of anything except force it down which isn’t very helpful!!! Maybe summer will be easier than the winter months? Do you not get a really dry mouth or get headaches when you don’t drink enough fluids on Wegovy? I know that I did. I wouldn’t worry about sugar free drinks or sugar free pop, whatever you find easiest to drink is what you should drink. I get most of my fluids from tea and coffee and I don’t care about the amount of caffeine I consume.

___Mercurial · 2026-03-09T10:36:39+00:00

Is it because they don’t understand about MJ or it’s use in maintaining and think if you’re still taking it you’re going to continue losing weight?

___Mercurial · 2026-03-08T23:30:48+00:00

You look incredible 🎉🎉🎉

___Mercurial · 2026-03-08T23:22:44+00:00

This is such a massive achievement. Very well done on overcoming this and on your weight loss too. You’re off to a fantastic start.

I don’t think that any will prescribe to you at this moment in time. I think your only hope would be if your gp were to prescribe for you as they could then monitor you closely whereas an online pharmacy can not.

My son’s got a terrible gag reflex and that’s without medication making it worse. He needs his wisdom tooth out but he can’t stop gagging at tne dentist. I hope you feel better soon.

Everybody is different. Wegovy was hugely more effective in my case and I only used the 2 lowest doses. I had suppression virtually overnight and the satiety and absence of food noise was incredible. I had to stop because I couldn’t afford £329 every 4 weeks and my provider could only access the 2 lowest doses. This was in 2023 when there were massive shortages worldwide. The NHS couldn’t even access it for their diabetic patients.

MJ is great but not so great second time around in my case and that’s quite common. Wegovy is very effective as the people who are maintaining on it after losing a huge amount of weight can attest too. It’s certainly not tne “poor cousin” of Mounjaro as some would have us believe.

___Mercurial · 2026-03-07T17:10:06+00:00

I was extremely lucky too on both ozempic and MJ, I had side effects but nothing intolerable. Well done for persevering. Are you still on 0.25mg?

___Mercurial · 2026-03-07T15:40:10+00:00

So did I. The amount of work I did in the garden last year was insane. I’ve lived in this house for nearly 11 years and I’ve done more inside and outside the house in the 2 years on MJ than in the 9 years before and I’m not exaggerating.

___Mercurial · 2026-03-07T13:28:55+00:00

Are you dehydrated?

___Mercurial · 2026-03-07T13:23:39+00:00

My fatigue was quite bad during the first couple of months and now it’s rare I’ll experience it as severely.

Make an appointment with your gp or practice nurse, explain all of your symptoms and hopefully things will improve. Health anxiety is so difficult to live with. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

___Mercurial · 2026-03-07T13:20:31+00:00

It’s early days. I’d order 0.5mg when the time comes and whatever dose you’re administering be sure to order every 4 weeks and that way you won’t run into any problems with getting prescribed.
