First data point on the Wegovy journey

Prior to starting the Wegovy I committed to truly starting behaviors in a consistent way that would help me keep the weight off once I get to my goal. I have been eating smaller portions, trying not to snack and really exercising every day. Today will be day 14 of consistent exercise – weight training, cycling or elliptical.

What I experienced during my first week of Wegovy was perhaps a small sense of early satiety if I really thought about it, a couple of times where I felt slightly nauseous after eating and maybe a inkling that my intestines are responding in a positive way. That said, I could have imagined it all because nothing is really the same day to day anyway. I was not expecting to have lost much weight the week just based on how I felt, but I was hoping for a bit more the .8 pounds, not even 1 whole pound. BUT I will not be discouraged.

However if after my 4th injection, if I am still losing at this VERY slow rate, I will talk to my doctor about increasing the dose the second month rather than the 3rd or switching to Monjaro which is a GLP and GLP-1 receptor agonist while Wegovy is only a GLP-1 agonist.
