1 week update on Wegovy 1.5mg

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!
