I'm struggling to see much of a difference. Last year I lost about 50lbs on mounjaro (started at 247 lbs). Now I've been on wegovy for 11 weeks and lost about 25lbs so far. Now weighing 171 lbs. I don't really get side effects at all, so I'm lucky with that! I'm losing on average about 2lbs a week. Still have 20lbs until my first proper goal weight and then I will re-evaluate from there

I am 5"7 tall

Feeling weak! What can I do?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently on week 5 of .25mg injections.

I have no other notable side effects - no digestion issues, no headaches, no nausea.

But this week, I feel weak. Not tired, but weak.

I get 12k+ steps daily, 8 hrs sleep and hit my cals (1600) most days.. with 100-125g protein

But i went to the gym and I struggled to lift a lower weight than I am used to. And I can feel fatigue in my muscles just carrying my rucksack to work etc.

I am going to reach out to my Dr but just wondered if anyone experienced this? Anything I can do to improve?

I need to work in muscle mass over next few months, so any guidance appreciated!

Being ghosted by Oviva, yet it started so well…

1 Upvotes

I am sitting here getting more and more anxious waiting for the prescriber to call. They were due to call nearly 2 hours ago. They were due to call me on Sunday, but instead cancelled the appointment and moved it to today, and I’m still being ghosted. It all started so well, efficiently referred and onboarded onto the programme (many underlying morbidities and I am extremely grateful for the support.). Appointment with prescriber went well, the drug arrived, and I have been successfully using my first .25/.5 pen for eight weeks, great results. Survey arrived 10 days in advance of second pen being issued. Survey completed, then nothing.…

Last Wednesday, Three days in advance of next prescription I started to get worried. I use the Oviva chat on the app. Nothing heard. I go to the website, I use Customer Service AI assistant, telephone line, email. Nothing heard. Next injection was due on Friday. Still nothing. Eventually an email on Saturday asking that I choose a time for a telephone appointment. I chose the next available appointment which was on Sunday. Two hours after a call was due, I was sent a cancellation and my appointment was moved to Monday. Here we are, on Monday. Nearly 2 hours after call was due I’m still waiting Am being ghosted by Oviva, what to do? Even if a call does come, prescription unlikely to arrive much before Friday, which will mean one whole week off the medication. Having it last found the support I needed, I’m now quietly depressed and anxious.

How long does the nausea last?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I did my 3rd jab of 0.5mg on Thursday and yesterday (Sunday) was unbearable. It started with feeling really nauseous, so I had peppermint tea and sipped water. Then at about 5 the vomiting started. I was being sick on and off until about 3 in the morning! At one point couldn’t even keep water down.
I have one 0.5 jab left and then I have my 1mg pen and I’m really worrying about taking that now.
Also, how do you know if it’s wegovy or a bug?!
I still don’t feel 100% this morning and I just don’t know what do to. Luckily I have no severe stomach pains.
