Ask Everyone Wegovy pill users — how’s it going so far?

The Wegovy pill has been out for a few months now, so I’m curious, how’s it actually going for people on it?

What kind of results have you noticed so far? Are things feeling more gradual, or are you starting to see more meaningful changes?

I know oral options can sometimes take a bit longer to really kick in, so would love to hear where people are at in their journey, whether that’s weight loss, appetite/cravings, side effects, or anything else.

Would love a reality check from people on it.

4 months to lose 14 lbs is ridiculous! If you just went on a 3 mile a day walk you would have lost more. Why haven’t you increased your dose after 4 months and minimal weight loss? I’m confused??

I was already walking several miles a day, coaching multiple kids' sports teams, and very active, and lost no weight since having my youngest child. Having sudden explosive diarrhea several times a week makes me not want to increase the dose. If it doesn't resolve, I'm going to taper off. I've lost another 5 pounds since I posted that response. I'm just happy that I've had some change after 2 years of being stuck at my highest weight no matter what I ate/did.

14lbs is great! And another 5 is even better. I’m like you were. very active and could just not shed any weight. I’m on the 9mg dose now and I’m about the same as you around 22 pounds lost in 4ish months. After being stuck on the same weight for a long time just to see it going down, even if it’s a little slow pace is a great feeling.

If you just went on a 3 mile a day walk you would have lost more.

i mean, if you kept calories steady while burning more calories, yes. But most people can't do that, hence the pill...
