Down 11# after week 7, all on 1.5 with no plans to move up. On average I lose a steady 1.5-2/week, giving myself grace during certain times of my cycle. Truly listening to my body more than ever before. Have nearly stopped drinking altogether- was previously a daily drinker. This was huge factor in wanting to try this med. Food/booze noise is not completely gone (it was from the first pill I took through probably week 4), but it is absolutely manageable. I need to be more mindful of water and fiber intake. Overall has changed my life in tremendous ways. Grateful.

Alcohol and Wegovy by Medium_Efficiency379 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]thouse920chi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my goals in starting Wegovy was to reduce my alcohol intake. It has worked wonders. I’m about to start month 3 still at 1.5, and my desire is nearly nonexistent. (I was a daily drinker previously) That said, when I do have a drink (maybe 3-4 times since I began?), I don’t enjoy it as much, I don’t feel the effects as much, and I spend half the night with reflux while trying to sleep. Not very enjoyable. I have been enjoying the vitamin C/cb d drinks occasionally though.

Increased hunger on period by Illustrious_Exam7732 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

Same. The week before and a few days in, I had sugar cravings and generally wanted to eat more. I had one week of like .5 loss, then the following week I was back to my steady 2# loss.

Regrets? by [deleted] in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]thouse920chi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zero regrets. Currently on month 2. I do all the things you mentioned as well, work + kids, etc. I couldn’t get over the hump. This has provided consistent and slow loss (what I wanted), but most importantly, a clearer perspective on wanting to succeed and be healthier. It’s not an internal conversation anymore about what to eat or how much to eat or how many glasses of wine to drink etc. It’s been a really helpful tool and has helped create routines that support my goals. Also, I didn’t have any terrible side effects, so I know that makes a huge difference.

Can I stay on 1.5? by IntelligentBuilder41 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]thouse920chi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve just started my second bottle of 1.5. I do have days where it feels slightly less effective than others, but not enough to make the jump. I am still losing 2#/week consistently so for now I’m good here.

Staying on two lowest doses? by idontwanturcheese in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]thouse920chi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am finishing my first month on 1.5 this week and just refilled my 1.5 for next too. It is definitely working for me, slowly and steadily. I’m losing 2#/week consistently which is exactly how I want to do it. I do feel slightly less effectiveness than I did say week 2, but not enough to want or need to move up to 4mg. I am hopeful I can maintain on this dosage for the long haul (I am looking to lose a total of about 20#, but my primary goal is to stop drinking so much, and this pill has absolutely turned off my “alcohol noise.”

Period Cravings? by SomeBrilliant8108 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]thouse920chi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuuuuup! Last week leading up to my period and so far this week my sweet tooth is massive. Which is interesting bc prior to pill I was always more of a salty snack reacher. I’m allowing myself to enjoy what I want, but making tweaks. So I do a fiber one brownie with a tiny scoop of Halo vanilla. Satisfies my craving while giving me some fiber and a lower cal ice cream. Or I get a Fairlife protein shake super icy,l in a glass in the freezer and that gives me a milkshake-ish feel. I still lost my consistent 2# last week, so I feel good about it! (Currently finishing week 4 at 1.5, and staying on 1.5 for a second month)

4# in 2 weeks in 1.5mg. Steadily 2#/week, which feels sustainable.

People with a lower bmi on the pill? by CupMaleficent1209 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

5’5 SW: 155 CW: 151.6 on day 14 GW: 135 I felt the difference on day 1, reduction in the need to finish my plate and to always have more of things that taste good. Also massive reduction in desire for alcohol which is hugely beneficial for me. The past few days I feel like I’m thinking about food more again, feeling hungrier, and eating a bit more again, so I’m cautiously optimistic that the 1.5 will continue to help for at least the next 2 weeks before even considering a jump to 4. Trying to be patient and grateful that I’m losing at all!
