I'm writing this while eating lavender lemon cookies that my mom and I made for Easter. How do you spell ironic again?
I've been on the new Wegovy pill for exactly 11 days. Today is day 11. Here's the good and the bad:
GOOD
- I have noticed I think about food much less overall.
- I have way fewer cravings. I'd say about 99% less.
- I don't have that "blocked up feeling" anymore.
- It's easier to take than the shot was.
- It's half the price of the shot. $149 vs $300 for the same supply.
- It has made me think more about what I eat and how much. Especially during the day.
- Overall I think I'm eating less than I used to. So good, but so bad.
BAD
- I can still eat as much as I want. It's still hard to stop eating.
- It doesn't help my nighttime appetite.
- If I eat too much "rich food" at night I get acid reflux (when I didn't used to.)
- I think my constipation is a bit worse. (I had it before this too, so it's hard to say.)
- It's still very expensive.
- I think the effects are getting slowly less impactful. I feel like I need a higher dose for it to be more effective.
- The first three days I took it I did have that "blocked up" feeling.
- My weight isn't budging.
- If it's in front of me, I'll still eat it.
I will keep on with it, but I'm going to ask my doctor for a higher dose soon. Or if I can take 1 1/2 pills or even two.
On the plus side since I started it I stopped eating all the Easter candy I bought for the kids. That's an accomplishment!
See how I put them all right next to the scale? Sneaky!
