My doctor is ok with me taking Wegovy and now I’m just waiting on blood work/insurance approval. But I cannot lie that I’m incredibly anxious about taking it due to potentially bad gastrointestinal side effects.

I’ve read some horror stories about and honestly it’s the last thing I need to deal with right now. Can anyone tell me about their experiences please?

Obviously my doctor's run through a couple of things, but I'm curious from the people who are actually regularly taking it. Any tips, tricks, suggestions?

What's your go-to food I guess?

I know there's a lot of dietary specifics I'm supposed to follow once I start taking it

Hello, I 21F started about three weeks ago weighing in at 167 now down to 160. But for the past week and a half I have been noticing blood coming out from my butt. I hold a toilet paper up to it and about 3/4 worth comes out and today there was blood in my stool has anyone experienced this before? Am I also losing weight faster than the normal person would on this medicine? I have changed my diet to more vegetables and starting exercising more, but I don’t think this would do it.

Edit: I saw a doctor today and did blood work waiting to hear back from it but wanted to see if it could be from glp1

40 lb to my pre pregnancy weight, 50lb to my wedding weight!

hi everyone, looking for any stories or advice for this dose increase. I have been on 0.25 for one month now. My first week on 0.25 was atrocious, felt like I had a 24 hour stomach bug. The next three weeks were very mild, tolerable symptoms, but also no noticeable appetite suppressant or reduction of food noise. My doctor is recommending me to move onto 0.5. I’m quite nervous to move up since my first week on 0.25 was so terrible. Looking for any similar stories or advice for symptom management during this increase!

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?

I’ve been on Wegovy for 5 months now, the plan was never to go higher and 0.5 was honestly so ideal, it didn’t only let me lose weight steadily in a normal pace but it helped with balancing my mood and even helped an unrelated medical issue that I dont wanna name.

The thing is around one month of being on 0.5 I kept getting such bad sulfur burps that lead to constipation and vomiting later on CONTINUOUSLY. It felt like nothing in my stomach was moving and every small thing I ate was just thrown up of would result in the worst abdominal cramps, I was probably sick for a month because it would leave and come back continuously. So we went down a dosage but 0.25 has zero effects on me.

I was wondering if the pill would maybe be more ideal, again I wasnt planning on going higher than 0.5 (I do know orally it might look higher) because its mainly for hormonal (PMOS) and craving regulation and since its daily I assume that maybe it wont be as bad because i can potentially flush it out faster.

I would love to hear people who switched, doesn’t matter if it was from needle to pill or vice versa, I’d love to know the reasoning!

Anyone here just pick a dose and stick to it? I was finding the fatigue debilitating and the appetite suppressant was making it so I didn't want to eat ever. I decided to stay on a lower dose for longer however I'm starting to get breakthrough hunger again (not just eating, but always feeling "peckish"). Should I bump it up? Still at 180. Started at 197.

I’ve been told conflicting information about Wegovy and trying to conceive. My doctor is useless and barely gives any advice, just tells me to up and up the dose, barely weighs me and is generally useless so whilst I’m looking for a new doctor I wondered if anyone has used Wegovy when doing IVF?

Or whilst trying to conceive?

It’s seriously lowered inflammation markers and almost stopped my anxiety so I’m nervous to quit it.

So far I’ve lost at least 30 pounds and I work out at least three times as week as well as eat well. I just hate that I pay $350 a month for it. Would it be okay if I got off of it? I’m so nervous to gain the weight back!!!!! Any experience with this? Also, if you know somewhere I can get it cheaper please let me know. Thank you so much
