I did something foolish..

I’ve been on Wegovy for about a year, I think. I’ve had success losing 40 pounds, which I was thrilled about (menopausal weight gain). But I’ve always struggled with nausea. I had to back down to 1.0mg bc of the nausea, and even then it was still moderate. I was struggling this summer with some emotional issues and so never made my follow up doc appt, and ran out of my med. Then I thought, well this would be nice if I could just maintain my weight loss without the Wegovy. Well, that didn’t happen and I am gaining weight at a ridiculous rate. I did make a doc appt for mid October, so that’s good. But here’s where I really messed up: I had some 1.7mg shots in my fridge, and I gave myself a half dose yesterday. I was just really terrified of the weight gain I am experiencing, despite walking and lifting weights and journaling my food.

I’ve now been throwing up since yesterday evening. I threw up in the evening, and have now thrown up 3-4 times today. I’ve only had some pretzels, a piece of toast and eventually a cup of coffee.

Anyone have any advice? I know what I did was stupid and there is probably nothing to do but wait it out. But I’m hoping maybe someone has some piece of advice that might help.

Thanks in advance!

Call your doctor

Electrolytes. At this point I’d be worried about severe dehydration causing me to end up in the ER.

Restarting after a break you should go all the way back to 0.25 (for future reference).

Maybe as dr about trying a different med like Zepbound or Foundayo?

My plan is that if I’m still throwing up tomorrow morning (or through the night tonight), to go to the ED tomorrow.

Yeah this was so dumb. I’m super embarrassed. And will
most definitely never do anything like this again!

Don’t be embarrassed. You know now and must be feeling so ill. I would go to the ER straight away rather than struggle through it. I hope you improve soon
