I started last night … but today I felt full with only nausea this am and I felt full all day and ate reduced calories and worked out - I will try to update this next week
Hi 👋🏽 congratulations on starting your Wegovy journey! It seems as if you’re off to a great start. You can try chewing mint gum and drinking peppermint tea to combat your nausea. Try to stay well hydrated as well. Please keep us updated!!
I just took my first .25 dosage on Tuesday 08/20 and I also noticed the difference right away
Hi 👋🏽 congratulations on starting your Wegovy journey!!! I sincerely hope it goes well for you🤗
Thank you.🎉@@Greater_Expectations
I have been on wegovy for about 3 months. Currently on 1.7 ml but I notice I’m hungry it’s like what I eat doesn’t satisfy my hunger. Definitely no like before that I could stop but I’m worried it’s not working.
Hey, I would definitely mention this to my doctor to get his/her thoughts on it and perhaps he/she can help you to evaluate your diet to identify how you can eat more satiating foods while paying close attention to your carb intake. Once I scaled back on eating a lot of carbs I noticed my appetite wasn’t as large. Also, there was a period when my appetite seemed to be creeping back but it was due to my activity level increasing, my body demanded more fuel in the form of food and so I adjusted my diet to include larger portions of mainly protein, vegetables like lots of leafy greens, baked sweet potato, a variety of beans, and in between meals sliced apples with a teaspoon of nut butter and lots of watermelon. I also increased my water intake and added a premier protein shake which actually is quite filling. Eventually things leveled out and the appetite suppression returned to normal. I would try including the foregoing foods, consider if your activity has increased, then pay attention to how you feel on 2.4 mg which is a significantly stronger appetite suppressant. Also keep in mind that you may be on 2.4 mgs for some time possibly until you reach your desired weight. So there’s definitely an opportunity for things to turn around as that higher dose stacks in your system. So don’t worry, trust the process and try to include the healthy satiating foods for all meals and snacks.
Taking my very first dose tonight. Your videos have given me tons of helpful information. Thank you!
Hi there 👋🏽, you are so welcome and congratulations on planning to start your wegovy journey tonight… I hope it goes well for you 💕
Me too! Fingers crossed ❤
@@Kemidance 🙌🏽I hope it goes well for you! 💕
Just found your channel and I’m glad I did! Thanks for sharing such wonderful information. I’m starting my 0.25 mg dose. I said next Wednesday, but I may start tonight after listening to you. Like, why wait? I had difficulty finding the 0.25 dose. I called pharmacies, and even called the manufacturer. No luck until I contacted my doctor. The hospital outpatient pharmacy had all strengths! I guess they have to because someone could be inpatient on the medication. I hope that helps someone. Also, I’m subscribing to your channel now.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience for how you were able to obtain your prescription! If you choose to start tonight I hope it goes well for you. Thank you for your comment and for your support💕
What time are you starting today? LOL I have my box with 4 doses of the 0.25 and I am afraid to push the syringe.
@@ToOpen6seven I decided to delay. Lol… thinking I’ll start Wednesday as I originally planned or Thursday. Want to get some groceries and vitamins.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. I was prescribed Wegovy injections and I'm so scared to start. I've been educating myself but I still have this fear , mainly the side effects
Hi there 👋🏽, I totally understand your hesitation because the side effects can be bothersome but there has been a lot of people who’ve stated that they haven’t had any severe reactions. You won’t know unless you give it a try. Earlier this week someone provided me with an update on administering their first injection and stated that it wasn’t as bad as they initially thought and the person did not report any side effects. So if your starting on the lowest dose, you may not experience a severe reaction however if you do and it’s unbearable then you would most definitely want to speak to your physician and determine if the medication is truly right for you. There are lots of horror stories but everyone doesn’t have the same experience. My journey started off rocky but I no longer have any side effects at all at the highest dose. I hope you feel a tad more encouraged and I’m sure you’ll make the best decision. Whatever you decide I wish you much success on your weight loss journey!! Thank you so much for your comment💕
@@Greater_Expectations Thank you kindly for your response. It's very helpful to read about success with Wegovy.
I'm getting there...
Ill be doing my fourth dose tomorrow!!! Only lost three pounds. The appetite is still there. Im struggling though 😂😂😂
Hopefully that’s three pounds that you’ll never see again! I didn’t lose much on .25 mg either and it can be a tad frustrating but as you step up in your dosing you may see the results you’re hoping for… so just hang in there!!
@@Greater_Expectations Well I just got a call my dosage is going up to .5 mg so hopefully I see my results. Thank you for responding!
The only side effect I ever had is fatigue.
Yes I likewise struggled with fatigue. It was pretty bad once I reached 1 mg and 1.7 mgs.
I’ve been on semaglutide for about 6 weeks now. I lost 15 lbs really quick. I am also doing keto and exercising. Suddenly the weight loss stopped and I’ve been stuck for about a week and even gained a couple lbs back. Has this happened to anyone else? It’s very frustrating. This is we’re is usually lose focus…
Hi, hang in there…this is common. I’ve had a few plateaus throughout my journey and I’m actually going through one NOW. If you are strength training you could be building muscle, your body could be going through recomposition, you could be retaining fluid if you’ve increased your water intake… it could be a lot of factors but it’s vital that you trust the process. I’m telling you, I’ve been there and even though I’m down more than 70 pounds I still have my frustrations when I get stuck at a certain number but with patience and consistency you’ll break your plateau. I have consistently broke mine! Don’t give up! You are doing great.. congratulations on your 15 pound weight loss!! YOU GOT THIS!!!💕🎊🙌🏽
@@Greater_Expectations thank you so much!
Awww you look good!! 🎉 I will be taking my first shot today. A little hesistant because of side effects and fear mongering but imma pray and leave it to God, continue my fitness journey and hope for the best. I want to lose a lot, not real fast though. So ill be okay with a couple of pounds the first month.
Hey there 👋🏽 thank you so much. Congratulations on starting your journey, I hope Wegovy treats you well. A lot of people have little to no side effects especially when starting on the lowest dose… you never know, you could possibly have zero issues. Either way, I hope it goes well for you and I appreciate your comment 💕
@@Greater_Expectations Thank you!!
@zionssoldierofwar7194 You are very welcome!
@@Greater_Expectations I have one more question. When do you move up on dosage? I have this for a year so does the dosage increase once I plateau?
@zionssoldierofwar7194 Typically you move up in dosage every four weeks unless you experience an issue with one of the dosages in which case your physician may choose to keep you at a particular dose for a while. In my case I was on .25 mg of wegovy for four weeks, .50 mg of ozempic for four weeks, 1 mg of ozempic for four weeks, 1.7 mgs of wegovy for four weeks and I’ve been on the 2.4 mg of wegovy for over 7 months. I will be on this highest dose until I reach my goal weight and then I’ll enter maintenance and presumably titrate down in dosage.
Just discovered your account. It’s great! Thank you!
Awww you are welcome and thank you, I appreciate your comment💕
Hi Kia! New subscriber! I'm starting my first .25 right now.
I'm looking for a video on how to actually inject it.
Hi 👋🏽, thank you so much for subscribing! I appreciate it and congratulations on starting your Wegovy journey!! 🎊🎉I hope your first injection goes well.!!
Thanks! What is the O1C that you mentioned? Just a different drug?
Are u referring to ozempic or me just mentioning a different semaglutide as an alternative if you can’t find Wegovy?
@Greater_Expectations thanks! Is it just a different semaglutide that a doc can prescribe?
@@nicolebaker-wagner5891 Yes, it depends on what is covered by your insurance but there are various GLP-1’s such as ozempic, ro, mounjaro, zepbound, saxenda, or compounded semaglutide.
A lot of doctors should have samples
Yes that would really be ideal, unfortunately my doctor did not have samples for the .5 mg or the 1 mg doses of Wegovy. Samples would be nice too for persons who are uncertain about how their body will respond to the medication. So I totally agree with you. Thank you for your comment!
I just started my first today. The .25. Do you have a recommendation on what you do for dieting or for calories you should have per day as a woman?
Congratulations on starting your weight loss journey!! My recommendation is for you to download the My Fitness Pal app. The app is free and it’s a good tool for diet planning and for your specific caloric intake based on your personal activity level and goal weight. It will automatically adjust your calorie intake as you lose weight and it will also help you to evaluate areas for improvement.
@@Greater_Expectations thank you! Took my 3rd today. The first I didn't feel anything, the next I got alittle sting, so I'm honestly not sure I did the first correctly but so much more energy instantly, and cut back on everything bad. It really so far is working, sleeping better even. So far so good!
@@Yuplop3 This is wonderful to hear, thank you for the update. I hope everything continues to go well for you each week!!💕
Hey Lady! Starting Wegovy this Thursday. Thank you so much for all the helpful tips!

Ohhhh congratulations!!! I’m excited for you! I hope it goes well for you💕
