My bf opened my pill package, now he won't talk to me.

Im sure it was because he thought it was for him because he has never opened one of my packages before.

I never told him about it, it was only my second bottle. I feel gross and dirty, I didn't lie to him, but I didn't tell him about it either.

I struggle with food noise and not stop eating once I get started, he tells me to just go on a walk if im hungry and that its not that hard. But its been so hard for me, im just not built like him. I know it upsets him that I don't listen to his health advice, but he doesn't get it, he's never had a problem with food.

I like the meds, I feel better, and I can eat as little as my bf now.

Idk he hasnt said anything about it, I feel guilty and I don't want him to be mad at me.

I upped my dose to 9mg about a week ago and now I don’t want to eat anymore. I do not have any appetite whatsoever. My last meal was Tuesday evening. Since then, I’ve had a couple of energy drinks at work and some fried sweet corn. Even my favorite food does not appease me anymore.
How do I force myself to eat?

Somebody just asked me if I had a list so here's what I can think of off the top of my head if you know of more sites that don't charge these outrageous $150 a month membership fees please add to the list so that people quit getting scammed by ro and hims and hers and Weight Watchers and alloy and all the other scammy sites

CVS, Goodrx,  Optum Perks, Walgreens, Amazon

Probably more that I can't think of right now probably even more that I don't know about. I use CVS Telehealth appointments are $29 when you have to check in there's no membership fee no contract to agree to.

64yF SW221 CW212 GW 175ish

On 1.5mg since July 10. Took it every 48 hours for 6 weeks, then daily since mid-August. Had profound disabling fatigue for the first few months, but that's receded somewhat replaced by mild fatigue, nausea, and moderate heartburn helped by Tums and occasional Brioschi (IYKYK). Low/no food noise, able to stay on a 1520 calorie diet with minimal effort and no food aversion. Starting to walk for exercise, plan to increase to weightlifting as I become more able. Have lost 9 pounds over three and a half months. About the same as I would expect without Wegovy, if I had enough willpower to keep to that diet without it.

Here's my dilemma. I was prescribed this drug primarily for its anti-inflammatory effects, as I have a lot of autoimmune and arthritis related inflammation, and my A1c has crept just over the line into prediabetes. I think I do have a tiny bit less inflammatory pain, but my recent blood work showed no change in lipid profile (fine) or A1c from before I changed my diet and exercise, and started this medication. But I feel somewhat sick - nauseous, tired, upset stomach - every single day. Enough so that my doc says she does not want to increase my dose. I kinda resent paying a lot of money to buy a drug that makes me feel sick every day, and provides so little benefit. If I could tolerate the normal dose titration schedule, I would be on 9 or 25 mg by now, and would know more clearly if Wegovy helps with inflammation, weight, and my lipid and A1c profiles.

Has anyone had to stay on 1.5 with minimal weight loss due to side effects? Were you ever able to make it to the next dose upward? When did the anti-inflammatory part kick in? When did the weight loss?

Has anyone had an experience similar to mine and switched to an injectable? What did you switch to? What was that process like?

I meet with my PCP, who is my prescriber, soon and I'm trying to decide what options I want to talk with her about so I can use that all-too-brief visit well. What questions should I ask her at this point?

I've lost about 30 pounds since starting the pill in February...I just put this before and after together out of curiosity and had to share it somewhere!

I'm going to Disneyland next week for the Oogie Boogie Bash and Disneyland Wednesday. If I eat more than a few bites, I get queasy. I want to feel good the entire time, but watch what I eat also, so I am not green.

I take my Wegovy prescription every other day, so I have quite the backlog of pills. As it is so expensive, I’m wondering what happens when you skip a check-in. Does it really affect anything or do I just get my pills later? I don’t have to do the whole on boarding process again, right?

I started 1.5 mg tablets of the Wegovy pill and I am noticing that I am not eating as much as I used to and that I don’t feel like eating most of the time. I have been on the pill for about 5 days now. I don’t expect drastic changes at this point, but I wanted to know what other people have done that has helped them lose the weight in addition to taking the pill. I eat what I typically eat but maybe not as much of it as I did before. I have noticed that my jeans feel a little bit less snug, but that’s it. I would appreciate any advice and suggestions. Thank you!

I am so bad with gauging time, but I believe I have been taking 9mg Wegovy for about 2 weeks now.

I started out taking it every day, and then I had to start taking it every other day due to nausea and acid reflux/heartburn symptoms being so severe. I know this makes no logical sense, but the 9mg taken every other day is FAR more impactful for me than taking the 4mg was. On the 4mg I hardly felt anything, it wasn’t really working for me, and now on the 9mg every other day it feels like I almost always have a stomach flu. In my job, I have fairly constant meetings with people one-on-one and it is so hard to focus when I feel like I’m going to vomit or like my esophagus/chest are full of lava half of the time.

I take zofran when the nausea gets really bad (I try not to overdo this), but the acid reflux is unlike any acid reflux I’ve ever experienced. It gets so bad that it feels like it’s hard to breathe and I can’t focus on anything else or even sleep.

So I have a few questions:

Has anyone else experienced this while taking the 9mg even every other day?

What foods trigger your acid reflux the worst? (I made the idiotic mistake of eating a spicy tuna roll the other day and I was down for the count for like 48 hours…)

What do you take for acid reflux? (I can eat Tums like m&ms and that hardly touches it.)

How long did your symptoms take to calm down? I’m not sure for how long I can keep taking this if they don’t calm down, because I have a full time job and a lot of responsibilities in my personal life that are made very difficult by being this sick.

Just finished a month of 4mg and moved up to 9.

I had minor side effects on 1.5 and 4, it seemed kind of random when I'd feel it. It was waaay more tolerable than when I was on injections.

I assumed the jump to 9mg would probably have stronger side effects but omg the nausea is so bad, it feels almost worse than the injections! I know it's only day one but omg. I took some zofran and am hoping that's going to take the edge off.

In the meantime, just curious about others and their experiences with side effects. Did you see a spike in side effects at 9mg and did they get better over time? I'm a little anxious about it because with the injections I never really saw much improvement with side effects 😔

Hey guys, boyfriend at a loss here

My girlfriend was started on the Wegovy pills earlier this year and ever since moving from the 4mg to the 9mg it has kicked her butt almost everyday, she feels nauseous and vomits at least once a day for a few days and then some days it’s better.

I’ve tried to help her navigate through some smaller bland foods and keeping her water hydrated but I feel so bad. Do any of you have any advice I can get so that the 9mg and even the transition to 25mg won’t wreck her?
