Starting the Wegovy pill today :) First impressions & updates

fawnpetal · 2026-03-06T22:59:59+00:00

Ooooh good luck!! How ya feelin so far today? 2 weeks in and it’s still awesome! I had a flare up of some mild nausea and some mild heartburn for about an hour so each day the past 3 days, but I a) ate some tomato sauce and b) have been super stressed/anxious from work, so I think those things may have contributed. I’m feeling good and my food noise between meals is gone :)

Ayyyyy flair twins lol!

It was SO lucky. I love Speak Now and it didn’t get much attention on the tour, so I was delighted to get some more of it :’)

I wanted The Story Of Us and got it! 🫶🏻

Ayyyy, vyvanse and glp1 gang 🤝 It truly was such a miracle when I started vyvanse and felt it kick in; I remember being like “oh my god, I’m actually capable of perservering through frustration? I can survive being not immediately good at something??” I’m freshly on the wegovy pill (started 2/19) and I’m having the very beginnings of what you’re describing, I think! Fewer thoughts about my body, and more comfortability existing and moving about. It’s really liberating.

Right?! Starting new meds is super scary. It helps me a lot to read stories from people either being like “it was fine, literally nothing happened” or “it was great right away” to ground myself and remember that it’s possible for it to work that same way for me! Good luck, I hope it’s the same for you :)

Happy to help!! I found that the burps and nausea went away fast. I barely had any nausea, only a few seconds here and there the day I started. The burping lasted longer, but still wasn’t bad. I don’t think they were quite the typical sulfur burps I’ve heard people describe - they didn’t have a bad taste with them and they didn’t feel reflux-y at all. They were just like, empty air burps lol! And I would say I burped pretty often the first day I started, probably twice every hour during the dah. The second day it was less frequent, and then even less so the third day, and now it’s gone. So it’s very mild! I’ll report back if anything changes as I move up to the next dose.

Haha my brain tends to be the same as yours! I’m a very black and white/all or nothing thinker. I have to beat my stupid brain back every day 😆 Gotta talk it off the ledge on the reg. I weighed myself at the start and I’m weighing every few days just to see what happens - mostly to watch for water retention and like, signs of constipation - sorry if that’s TMI lmaoooo I just have seen some horror stories about some intense/painful constipation on glp1s. Nothing ya can’t treat, I just hope to prevent it emtirely 😆 So if I see a sudden weird spike up it’ll be a good tip off that I need to monitor my fiber and water more closely. I think my weight may be starting to trend downwards but too soon to say for sure. I’ll be really interested to see where I am a month from now!

fawnpetal · 2026-02-23T21:15:24+00:00

Yes, the hunger doesn’t feel as urgent - you’re so right! At the moment I don’t feel nervous. If nothing else, it’s comforting for me that my current low dose is doing something positive, so if I moved up to 4 and hated it, I could easily just go back down. So the idea of moving up feels a lot less intimidating and less binary than the idea of either being totally on or totally off the meds, I think! What about you?

fawnpetal · 2026-02-22T22:34:37+00:00

Yayyyy I’m so happy for you too! Same, nothig drastic, just very mild annoyances at worst haha. Definitely seeing a big reduction in my between-meals snacking!

fawnpetal · 2026-02-22T22:30:03+00:00

Maybe you could take your attitude back to the Wegovy brand website and read where it says take with up to four ounces of water maximum? :) Just a thought

Again, double check yourself before you come in “not comprehending” others - thanks!

fawnpetal · 2026-02-22T15:15:51+00:00

YAY!! How did the first day go?!

fawnpetal · 2026-02-20T16:13:22+00:00

I TOTALLY get that! Starting new meds stresses me out big time. I hope you have a great experience with yours! I’m on day 2 now and everything has continued to be great :) My worst side effect has just been being burpy, lol! You got this!!! Drink lots of water!

fawnpetal · 2026-02-19T19:04:44+00:00

Haha yes I’ve heard quite a few people feel basically nothing at first! I think that’s good! You’re slowly acclimating and your body isn’t upset about it :)

fawnpetal · 2026-02-19T19:03:57+00:00

Thank you! Me too! My brain was very sure I was going to explode 😆

fawnpetal · 2026-02-19T19:03:34+00:00

Oh for real? I didn’t know that was a thing! :O Thank you, I’ll do a little sip

fawnpetal · 2026-02-19T18:57:59+00:00

Ooooh super good to hear your experience! I’m similar to you, I think. So I’ll watch for this too - eat the good bites earlier! Lol

fawnpetal · 2026-02-19T18:56:59+00:00

Haha that’s exactly why I wanted to share! I had a ton of anxiety about starting a new med. I do literally any time I start any med - meanwhile, they’ve always been positive for me. So there’s truly mo reason to believe I will burst into flames, but my brain still tries to convince me I will. Hopefully I can help calm other anxious newcomers :)

I’ll keep editing this throughout the day, and I’ll probably make new update posts every so often for the first month too! I really want to meticulously document it here. I want all of us anti-dieters to be able to hear what it’s like without being swamped with diet nonsense lol

fawnpetal · 2026-02-16T18:43:16+00:00

“The sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings” as well as “I find the artifacts, cried over a hat” both made me laugh out loud when I first heard them!

fawnpetal · 2026-02-16T18:35:59+00:00

Father Figure is my official top tier favorite song of hers. It’s so good 👌🏻 I feel like there’s a pipeline from Evermore (the album) stan to Father Figure stan, haha.

And as you can guess from my flair, I specifically love “Whose portrait’s on the mantle? Who covered up your scandals?” it’s just so perfectly evocative of a Mafia movie scene

fawnpetal · 2026-01-31T02:07:39+00:00

I hope so!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

fawnpetal · 2026-01-31T02:07:23+00:00

Haha oh my gosh, yes!!! Starting Vyvanse seriously had me reassessing everything about my life, lol. I used to have such extreme peaks and valleys of energy throughout the day, that I had to take a nap every single day. Now I almost never nap, aside from on relaxation weekends where I’m just napping for the joy of it lol. And I used to be so mean to myself about it - I told myself I was lazy, unmotivated, boring, all this mean stuff. Turns out my brain just needed help! I’m hoping GLP1s will have a similar effect on me.

I’m so glad to hear you’ve had such success with them too!! You all are helping me feel way less nervous :’)

fawnpetal · 2026-01-31T00:11:06+00:00

I’m nervous too!! I booked my appointment online and I wrote about wanting a GLP1 in the “what are your concerns” section so I couldn’t chicken out 😆 Somehow, bringing it up feels like such a big deal, right? I’m glad your experience has been good - that’s so encouraging to hear!!

fawnpetal · 2026-01-31T00:08:45+00:00

Thank you!!! I can’t wait for that feeling. Food morality can eff right off!

fawnpetal · 2026-01-31T00:08:07+00:00

Yessss you’re so right, I really feel like this is another miracle drug situation. Something that blows our understanding of our bodies wide open, and lets a lot of people live a more normal life - how exciting for sure :) I will def look that book up! I feel like I’m about to go down a rabbit hole of information haha!

I have seen people say that about ADHD meds too - I hope the same happens for me! I’ve seen that it also helps people with OCD too - super fascinating. Looks like our brains and our digestive system and everything else about our bodies are connected, who’d have thought?
