I've been Wegovy since late April of 2022 and I am down 95 pounds! I've been down 95 pounds since mid December and have just been maintaining :) Good luck on your journey!!
I will be starting my first injection Monday December 9, 2024. This was so much good information and I’m so happy I came across your channel, thank you so much and I will continue to follow you!
Thanks for sharing your story! I’m on .5mg of wegovy at the moment, down 15lbs… but I’ve been counting calories, light exercise and keeping snacks out the house. No side effects. I see it as a little insurance policy for my efforts. I’m have no health issues(none) other that being clinically obese.
I just took my first Wegovy shot tonight and am praying for success on my weight loss journey. I decided to do injections on Friday night in case I have reactions I can deal with it on my weekend. 🤞
Hi beautiful! I lost 12 pounds within my first month of using Ozempic, at 0.25mg. Tonight I will take my second dose of 0.50 mg (this is my 6th week mark). I have had no noticeable side effects until I titrated up to the 0.50. My appetite has significantly decreased and I have to prepare my mind and stomach to eat something. I am optimistic that I will adjust to this dosage fine, as long as I keep up on my electrolytes (iv hydration, gatorlyte, supplements). I notice that when I stay hydrated and when I keep up on my pre/probiotics I tend to feel a lot better.
Great video . I just started my dosis today october 8, 2024. I thought my insruace wasnt going to approve it per my doctor but thank god it did. So i been youtubing getting all the information about this drug...That is why i ran into your videos.
Thank you! I’m currently waiting another two weeks for mine. There seems to be a shortage. This is one of the most real vids I have seen on Wegovy since I started down this rabbit hole a week ago. I appreciate that you were willing to share. Again, many thanks!
Hi everybody!!! I just received my Wegovy today, I’m excited and a little nervous. I’m setting my first injection with a nurse. I’m detoxing before I start. Also I will prepare healthy snacks like fruit, oatmeal. Baked chicken. I’m praying for no side affects or at least the minimal. I hit the subscription! Thank you for the all the good tips!😊
@itsjustme Your doc has to send a preauthorization to your insurance. However, you must fall within their requirements such as a BMI over 30ish ( icantrememeber). Ozempic is the same drug but different requirements. Ultimately you need to see if its even covered with your insurance, then have the doctor send the preauthorization as mentioned She explains the process in the video
My blood panel always shows normal glucose range around 80. My sis told me hers was the same but her A1C read 6.4 which is pre-diabetes. They wanted her to take metformin. I asked my doc to do an A1C for me and it came back 6.1 which is also in pre-diabetic range. I was shocked you could have normal blood sugar and be pre. I was taking phentermine on and off to lose weight but it stops working and is not the safest. He prescribed Wegovy the morning of my blood draw to see if it would be approved for weight loss. With previously taking weight loss med and a BMI over 30 it was approved. I finally got brave enough to take the first injection today. I’m needle queasy but it was so easy not painful in any way. Blue Cross told me my copay would be $60; when Walmart called and said it was ready they told me it would be $29. However if you go to Wegovy or Ozempic website there is a copay card you can sign up for. When I presented it to Walmart my copay was $0….ZERO. I believe Monjauro has a similar offer. Anyway, I’m hoping to get weight off my short frame. I’m 5’3 and weigh 219; I was sz 4 and played a ton of sports but genetics will eventually catch up if you lose focus. Thank you for this post and best of luck to you in your journey!
Bone broth is also great with keeping your salt intake level good and should combat the nausea and also it's a great way to prepare your stomach for food if you haven't eaten in a while.
Thanks for sharing have my .25 and plan on taking first shot on Monday. My insurance covered it 100%😊 excited and cant wait to start journey...need to lose 50lbs. Thanks for the tips and will be getting everything u suggested!!
TikTok has been great with exposing people to the benefits of this medication but this review was thorough and detailed. Thank you so much! Please please please share more; daily meals, routines and anything that would help increase overall health while in wegovy and not just the medication ❤❤❤❤
My physician prescribed it today. My insurance said prior authorization could take up to 72 hrs. My doc called them right away and it was approved and filled within an hour. I used the coupon from their website and paid nothing for it. My primary care doctor prescribed it with no issues. I asked about it, she said it works and wished me luck.
Just literally took my first shot (.50) about 20 minutes ago and then went straight to UA-cam. I’ve been researching but finding your page is FATE!!! I have a friend who lost +- 100lbs in one year on Wegovy. She is on maintenance now. She had all of the side effects and has been a wealth of knowledge. My PA started me on .50 since I have been on SAXENDA since last year. I am switching since I plateaued at the highest dose. Following your journey as I start mine ❤.
I’m glad to hear someone else hit a plateau on saxenda. It helped me a lot the first time around, but this time-nothing. I’m more active, I’m eating better-still nothing. Hopefully wegovy will be helpful.
Hey BFH! I am now on my 5th week of ozempic. I am glad you made this review because the same thing happened to me with the info or lack there of from my doctor. I also did a lot of research because the second week I felt so much gas pains and realized that the foods I was eating were affecting me. So I cleaned up what I was eating. No greasy foods, I only drink water, some dairy. I try to stay away from gassy foods. I’ve been losing an average of 2lbs a week. I have pcos so my periods are also non existent. Keep up the good work and please keep sharing your progress. Not many people open up about these things and hence why we go through the rabbit hole of information. 😂 Can’t wait for your next update!
@@lf9341 I stopped for 3 months to try to conceive, but since I haven’t as of yet I am going back on to loose more weight. I have been getting my cycle every month. Still not every 28 days but definitely closer than ever before. Overall I’ve lost almost 50 lbs. I’m going for another 20-30 lbs atleast to be under the 200’s. And then ttc again.
I just started my wegovy journey ❤❤❤ I'm 286 pounds at 5"3 so I hope this works out for me , today is day 1.. I wrote a list of the items you mentioned in the video..thank you so much ❤
Just got my wagovy today! I will keep you posted. Also, I noticed on the package it needs to be kept in the refrigerator! Something people need to know. Thank you for the video.
@@msGOLDNCHYLD I’m gonna stay at 1.44mg or 60units every other week or maybe every 10 days…like I’m supposed to do a shot tonight but I’m gonna wait till Thursday or Friday!
@@mcharles9303 I don’t know…but weight loss is a lifestyle change so I know if I want to maintain this I can’t go back to eating the way I was before! Plus I’m peri menopausal so I might have to for a little while!
This is a great recap. I take my 4th -.25 injection tomorrow and have had little to no side effects. Looking forward to this journey. Wishing you success 🎉
Side effects are in your future the dose is not high enough yet but a little nausea is not the end of the world. Use nausea as a guide for what not to eat. If I eat something and it makes me nauseous I will generally avoid that in the future or be mindful when I eat it the next time. I am down 100 lbs
I was prescribed it over a month ago and the pharmacy ALL the pharmacies in my city were out and were back ordered and could take months to get it they said because of the volume of of the need of it! I just got it today and here we go! I’m excited and just can’t wait for the effects
Great to see you back girl. I am looking forward to more content from you. I have had great results since starting this class of medication last November and have lost 42 lbs so far. Some random nausea and vomiting especially during dosage transitions, but not unmanageable as long as I stay hydrated. I'm up to 1.7 mg now. Best of luck.
Since so many people liked my comment I’ll update ☺️. I’m now on week 2 of .5ml very little side effects, mild constipation and a little nauseous when I eat too much sugar but I’m down 11.2 lbs. I think I will stay at this dosage next month. I have not done any exercise.
Before you even said that you were a makeup artist I said to my husband “ oh her makeup jammin” I start my Wegovy journey today. Thank you for the tips!
First, I'm distracted by this natural beat face and hair!!!🤣 Love the look!!! Now, on the topic, thank you for sharing! I'm just contemplating starting and have researched myself crazy!!! Got approved and just was notified it's being delivered today, even with the shortages, happened 2 weeks after being ordered. Like you, I did the steps without actually planning to do the steps or knowing about it!
I have been on wegovy 10 for about two weeks . I have experienced no negative side effects . I actually feel more energetic and my anxiety and depression have improved . I have lost about 5 pounds in a week . I’m exercising and being mindful of what I eat. I’m taking B complex too
Your face is literally perfect! Here in the UK we are waiting on Wegovy, its been authorised but just waiting for the stock. In the meantime I have started on Ozempic and loving it after years of struggling with over eating. This video is really helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing. My primary care doctor suggested it to me today. Going down my rabbit hole and so glad I found your video. I to have pcos and have been struggling. I’m at the point where I want a hysterectomy because of it. Will be 40 in September. Thank you again.
Omg i just started useing Ozempic a week ago and lost 6lbs :) I'm glad to know that I can have this journey with you! I've been watching your video for 10 years!! Please please keep updating your journey too😄 I'm trying to lose 39lbs
So glad I found this page. I’ve been prescribed Wegovy. I wasn’t really given any information other than it would help with weight loss. I’ve been having difficulty losing weight and wanted to speak to my Dr to see why. Tests were run and somehow I’m pre-diabetic. I haven’t taken my first dose because I’m trying to do all the research I can. I’m very nervous but also determined to keep bay health in check. Hopefully this works. Looking forward to more videos. ❤
Thanks for doing this. I am on day 5 of Wegovy & am down 5lbs so far. I had already lost 8lbs on my own just waiting to be able to find Wegovy in stock somewhere. So far so good. I got your starter pack from Sam's & began all of that a couple of weeks before I got the meds. No side effects so far! It's a struggle to get calories in because I am just not hungry, but I've been shooting for at least 1500 with my current weight. Anyway, thanks for the tips!
Obesity is a deeper problem than how someone looks. People need to realise that if those problems are not addressed an injection or pill will only ever be a temporary fix, which will lead to weight regain (and likely extra gain). I like that at least you talked about the side effects and some behavioural changes. I have just done a video on Ozempic discussing both sides and long term healthier alternatives, give it a watch.
I’m about to begin my journey. Thanks for the information!

I just started on wegovy your video is very informative. I am looking forward to hearing more about what it is. You’re doing too go through this process. I think it is a valuable video for others also. Thank you for sharing.
I’m on Victoza. I’ve just been diagnosed with PCOS. I’ve always had irregular periods, but this last time I went over 2 years without a period. I also didn’t have insurance for years and couldn’t do anything about it. I put on 40lbs in 2 years due to my hormonal imbalance. Like you, doctors have always told me to get on brith control. I have insurance now and I’m desperate, so currently I’m on birth control and a daily injectable ‘Victoza’ I’m down 6 lbs in 2 weeks and I’m feeling soooo much better. ♥️
Have you ever considered changing your diet? I went vegan for a period of time and it helped overall. I think if you eat a lot of food with hormones like chicken, you should cut it out or really limit it in your diet, or eat only organic chicken and meats directly from a farm. Chicken with hormones is a huge problem for women and our bodies
@@PhoenixFiyah I’ve been vegan and vegetarian before that. It didn’t change my hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, for me, this is something that needs to be treated with the help of doctors and medicine. I’ve struggle with PCOS symptoms my entire life. I do think a vegan diet would help so many women though. My issues are deeper than diet alone.
Keep up the great work!!! I have been on Ozempic since the end of 2022 and so far I am down 35.5 LBS so far. Plus I have been on a very strict keto lifestyle and have had no side effects so far.
So today i’ll be taking my 2nd injection (week 2) & thus far i’ve loss 8lbs. Not really exercising but i do drink lots of water. I’m on the 0.25 injection of Wegovy and i’m less hungry. I do have to remind myself to eat all the time. I’m super excited. I also did a ton of research before taking this injection. I do now take the stairs at work and do a nice amount of walking
Thank you so much for sharing! You mentioned a lot of good things that I had not even thought of . I just started and am on day two. I look forward to your updates. You are very insightful. ❤️
Hello Tatiana, your videos are such a blessing to me. My doctor has prescribed wegovy for me. I picked it up today and will begin on Saturday. I am very much in agreement with getting info from the horses mouth. I will head to Costco on Friday to get EVERYTHING you recommend. I've been taking B-12 for some time, so I'm good there. I will continue to follow your progress. Thank you ❤
As a pharmacist I’m so sorry that we in healthcare failed you, your pharmacist should have definitely explained the medication and side effects with you. Have always loved your videos! ❤
*Based on the lack of information when it comes to say🤔contents of the c0vid vaccines. There were none on the inserts and pharmacists can’t know something that isn’t there and then things become try at your own risk🤷🏽♀️ not necessarily the pharmacist’s fault.*
Thank you for this video. I lost 21 lbs (of the 100 I need to lose) in 5 weeks w/ diet and exercise and no booze while waiting for insurance approval. I got the first 2 months of wegovy and have been debating about taking the first dose for weeks due to side effects and the thought that I can maybe lose it all without. After watching your video, I did my first injection! Hope I'm lucky and have minimal side effects 🙏 . Thank you!
Omg! I’m so glad that I could help to give you that extra push! You’re doing great! I too cut out drinking and must attribute some of my success to that as well. It’s really helped with prioritizing my sleep schedule and I hope it does the same for you. You got this💪🏽 So glad we’re in this together❤️
I am definitely on the same journey as you are . I have to stick to not snacking . I do not have the issues of not feeling full . I remember my cousin was on something similar to this 20 years ago and the side effects sounds similar .
Just starting week 2. The first few days I got worried that I was going to get sick from malnutrition, throwing up, feeling sick but have gotten the hang of it mostly. First few days were tough. Constipation. Supplemented with fiber gummies and eating oatmeal in the mornings. Had to give up bananas. Before I started this I was doing volume eating with heavy veggies then protein but I can't eat that much now. Also cannot eat at night. So, new way of eating smaller more concentrated meals but still get enough fiber and protein is key. Just got the zero sugar propel because I'm in Arizona and really worried about dehydration this summer.
Thank you! I have b12 I am one of those ones who sometimes I forget to take my vitamins but I'll make sure to take my b12 everyday. Can't wait til it comes in the mail. Yay!
First Wegovy dose today 🙌🏽 My provider (Black female DNP😊) also offers lipo-B shots which I started prior. So thankful I followed my gut (wink wink) and did it in that order. Thanks for your insight!
Just watched your video, I really enjoyed it so thank you very much. I can relate to everything you said too. I took my second injection last night and after the first week I went down 9 lbs ! Yes 9 lbs Holy crap ! Like you said though it won't carry on like that. I'm on the .25 dos
Your doctor sent you to a NUTRITIONIST and her recommendation was a MEDICATION??? Lawd. Anyway, the first part of your video reminded me of Jenn J’s recent video about her health/fertility journey. She had never had a regular cycle either, but she was able to see a naturopath who got to the root of the issue. Your body can almost always heal itself if you give it what it needs. I hope you find a provider that actually cares about your health and not just trying to push meds. You deserve to be healthy and happy. ❤
Im so glad I found your video because I’m literally going through what you went through. My period is out of whack that I’m anemic now. I went to see an OB and they pretty much told me to go on birth control too. Right now I’m trying to see if my PD will prescribe me the medicine.
Hello, love your video. I have not started my first dose yet, I am on 0.25. Is it better to do it at night or in the morning? I am worried about the fatigue and nausea.
I am with my sister, I just started Ozempic last week, I have lost 6 pounds in the first week also. I have no side effects except constipation… due to slow gastric emptying. I was also a person who never felt full. I am hopeful that this will help us 🙏🏽
I’m not female, but I love how your story. I appreciate that you didn’t give in to them telling you to just take birth control instead of fixing the actual issue. Like you said, a bandaid! 🩹 I’m starting my Wegovy tomorrow and hoping it solves an issue I’ve been having for a long time myself, but no doctor seems to know what it is so they decided to prescribe it yesterday. Your video is super helpful!
One it's so good to see you! I watched you way back on the day day. Two, I love how you rolled out this video and talked us through your experience and what you're doin/plan. I would love to continue to hear about your journey on wegovy. Thanks for sharing.
Please, please do your research. My friend was on it although she lost weight she was having thyroid problems. You know there are sidd effects to all medications. Also, be informed about constipation. Talk with your doctor about anything you feel. This is like Ozempic, which was originally taken for diabetes. Then it went viral for weight loss. Also, you may find it hard to get, and some places are charging over $1,000 for these medications with insurance because of popular demand.
How about you do your research on the med… no shade but glp1 have been around for a moment… a lot of these people obese/overweight fare insulin resistant… this is no different from other chronic diseases that need tools to help get under control… people are upset bc people are using this to get lose weight and bypass the further chronic issues of obesity… I would pay $1000/mnth to help w the food noise - but only those that know know
I went on april 2023. Now November 2023. I have lost 50lbs. At my last dose mg. Been on it for about 7 weeks. Now the nausea and vomiting is driving me nuts and i'm so sick.
My heart failure specialist suggested that I talk to my PC about taking ompezc (well she kinda said it would be good for me) because I need to lose weight before I start any transplant evolution. So I have an appointment with my PC next month, a little nervous for some reason but curious to what she’ll say.
Hi all. I just started .5 on Sunday and (TMI) I was on my cycle so I am not sure if im feeling this way because my cycle is ending and so my hormones are thrown off but ugh. So ithink im going to give it ago seeing all these great reviews. It may be my body adjusting because i just started Wegovy period on the .5 so we well see. Thank you all any feedback is helpful also recipes.
Great job 🎉I just did my last 0.25 injection and my problem has been constipation so I have been taking a gentle woman’s laxative every night and have had some success with that 🎉 I do get nauseous if I eat even one extra bite of what I’m eating… I’ve lost 6 pounds but had no energy the first two weeks 😮
You always was a Grear Teacher about anything. I remember when you was the only person on UA-cam doing makeup I became a huge fan it's been a long time you taught me alot..Thank you..I just need to lose about 30ty pounds I'm 5"6 and 62 I like being a size 12 but staying in scared of covid I gained up to a 14 and I hate it..a lose 12 I'm good cuz I'm tall..wish I could just buy it.❤
I just got my Wegovy and I haven’t started taking it but I want to do more research on what I need to do in order for me to have a successful journey with the meds. Your video really helped me with what products I need before I start
Just took my first injection yesterday (roughly 30hrs ago as I type this). Came looking for first week experiences. I don’t think I’ve felt any side effects so far. My stomach was upset and I felt tired but my stomach was upset all day, even before the wegovy and I didn’t sleep at all in a hotel the night before. So nothing I can definitely attribute to wegovy. I don’t feel any different a day after the injection. No brain interference telling me not to eat, or affecting my feeling of being hungry. I’m guessing this is normal and I just need to see how it’s going days and a week from now when it’s time for pen #2.
Hello! I think that it is fantastic that you are willing to chronicle your Wegovy journey. Thank you for sharing! Please include the side effects from your weekly dosage increases.
Greasy food hasn't made me nauseas at all but it makes me have to go to the bathroom an hour later. However - it just helps counteract any constipation. I've never lost my appetite entirely on Wegovy. I eat less at each meal but I'm still hungry for my meals.
I've been Wegovy since late April of 2022 and I am down 95 pounds! I've been down 95 pounds since mid December and have just been maintaining :) Good luck on your journey!!
Are you doing the maintenance dosing?
WOW!!!
@@trishonya I went down to 1.7 but plan on going down to 1.0 my next dose or two
That’s awesome! That’s my goal is 100lbs. I’m hoping not to have to much loose skin in the end.
do you exercise? I been on it since last June and I lose 40 pounds. I want to lose 20 more pounds but Im struggling.
The Goat of makeup tutorials !!
The suggestion to use a protein drink as a coffee creamer is brilliant! I had never thought of that. Great idea!
I will be starting my first injection Monday December 9, 2024. This was so much good information and I’m so happy I came across your channel, thank you so much and I will continue to follow you!
I just started using Wegovy. I'm in my first week, I did my research and prepped also, no real side effects, and I have lost 5.1 pounds in 4 days!
Same, day 3 5lbs down
I was personally shocked lol
How did u prep I need to know! Dr started me on this have to pick it up next week 😫
So do I push in the top of the pen and hold it? I just started.
Do you urinate frequent ?
@@unknownNotme-s5o only because I take a diuretic and I also take magnesium. So, not wegovy related.
Thank you for sharing. I just took my 1st injection while watching your video. I'm looking forward to updates from everyone.
Thanks for sharing your story!
I’m on .5mg of wegovy at the moment, down 15lbs… but I’ve been counting calories, light exercise and keeping snacks out the house. No side effects. I see it as a little insurance policy for my efforts. I’m have no health issues(none) other that being clinically obese.
My insurance has also covered it w very minimal cost surprisingly. One prescription was $25, one was no charge at all..
Did you get the rx from your pcp or did you have to see a specialist?
Do you have a lot of issues with nausea? I have a hard time being nauseous and I know that it’s a side effect… I’m dying to know about it.
@@NeeksFinds endocrinologist. But my pcp had prescribed it too, but the prescription had expired by the time wegovy was available again in pharmacies.
@@lianealbert7728 No issues.
This video was so detailed and informative.! I just had to sub!
I just took my first Wegovy shot tonight and am praying for success on my weight loss journey. I decided to do injections on Friday night in case I have reactions I can deal with it on my weekend. 🤞
Same!
So far so good. How are you?
How are u doing?
I have had no symptoms.
And no weight loss😢
@@janetfrancis7793
Did you end up having any success? It’s been almost a year since your last comment. Just curious
I never lost an oz
Hi beautiful! I lost 12 pounds within my first month of using Ozempic, at 0.25mg. Tonight I will take my second dose of 0.50 mg (this is my 6th week mark). I have had no noticeable side effects until I titrated up to the 0.50. My appetite has significantly decreased and I have to prepare my mind and stomach to eat something. I am optimistic that I will adjust to this dosage fine, as long as I keep up on my electrolytes (iv hydration, gatorlyte, supplements). I notice that when I stay hydrated and when I keep up on my pre/probiotics I tend to feel a lot better.
Did u have hunger pains in the first 2 weeks? I have it
Hello I just started o journey today. So far so good. I will see how I feel in the morning. Keep us updated.
Great video . I just started my dosis today october 8, 2024. I thought my insruace wasnt going to approve it per my doctor but thank god it did. So i been youtubing getting all the information about this drug...That is why i ran into your videos.

You're the best!😊
Same! I went to one of her classes in Greensboro NC. I literally went to improve my own makeup, I wasn't a MUA.
Thank you! I’m currently waiting another two weeks for mine. There seems to be a shortage. This is one of the most real vids I have seen on Wegovy since I started down this rabbit hole a week ago. I appreciate that you were willing to share. Again, many thanks!
I just started Wegovy today. I am excited to see my progress.
How’s it going?
How'd you feel on day 1?
Hi everybody!!! I just received my Wegovy today, I’m excited and a little nervous. I’m setting my first injection with a nurse. I’m detoxing before I start. Also I will prepare healthy snacks like fruit, oatmeal. Baked chicken. I’m praying for no side affects or at least the minimal. I hit the subscription! Thank you for the all the good tips!😊
How did you get it? My insurance company won't cover it
@@its_april1 I have blue cross blue shield and they covered mine

How is it?
Bone broth is also great with keeping your salt intake level good and should combat the nausea and also it's a great way to prepare your stomach for food if you haven't eaten in a while.
Do you have a specific type of bone broth that you recommend?
I recommend the Dr. Kelly Ann brand it’s great and easy to take on the go.
From where, please?
Except that it tastes like a baby’s diaper 💩
Thanks for sharing have my .25 and plan on taking first shot on Monday. My insurance covered it 100%😊 excited and cant wait to start journey...need to lose 50lbs.

Hey BFH! I am now on my 5th week of ozempic. I am glad you made this review because the same thing happened to me with the info or lack there of from my doctor. I also did a lot of research because the second week I felt so much gas pains and realized that the foods I was eating were affecting me. So I cleaned up what I was eating. No greasy foods, I only drink water, some dairy. I try to stay away from gassy foods. I’ve been losing an average of 2lbs a week. I have pcos so my periods are also non existent. Keep up the good work and please keep sharing your progress. Not many people open up about these things and hence why we go through the rabbit hole of information. 😂 Can’t wait for your next update!
Good to see a Pcos sister on here! Im hoping to get this at my upcoming appointment ❤
Are you still on it?
@@lf9341 I stopped for 3 months to try to conceive, but since I haven’t as of yet I am going back on to loose more weight. I have been getting my cycle every month. Still not every 28 days but definitely closer than ever before. Overall I’ve lost almost 50 lbs. I’m going for another 20-30 lbs atleast to be under the 200’s. And then ttc again.
All of your videos are beneficial. Yes, more of these videos, please. You have always been transparent. Thank you.❤️
I just started my wegovy journey ❤❤❤ I'm 286 pounds at 5"3 so I hope this works out for me , today is day 1.. I wrote a list of the items you mentioned in the video..thank you so much ❤
I just started today best of luck to the both of us ❤❤❤
How is it going for you now
@@barbaraharris2980 I’m a month in and down 11 pounds and things are going great!!
How are you doing?
Update?
Just got my wagovy today! I will keep you posted. Also, I noticed on the package it needs to be kept in the refrigerator! Something people need to know. Thank you for the video.
It’s an amazing drug I’m down 40 pounds in 7 months! I’m on the maintenance dose now I’m at my goal weight…
What is maintenance? Lower dose?
@@msGOLDNCHYLD I’m gonna stay at 1.44mg or 60units every other week or maybe every 10 days…like I’m supposed to do a shot tonight but I’m gonna wait till Thursday or Friday!
@@trishonya Thank you for the response! Congrats on your weight loss!
@@mcharles9303 I don’t know…but weight loss is a lifestyle change so I know if I want to maintain this I can’t go back to eating the way I was before! Plus I’m peri menopausal so I might have to for a little while!
Hey love. Started my injections last month. I've lost 10 pounds so far. Good luck!
Yay!!!
This is a great recap. I take my 4th -.25 injection tomorrow and have had little to no side effects. Looking forward to this journey. Wishing you success 🎉
Side effects are in your future the dose is not high enough yet but a little nausea is not the end of the world. Use nausea as a guide for what not to eat. If I eat something and it makes me nauseous I will generally avoid that in the future or be mindful when I eat it the next time. I am down 100 lbs
When did you start? I’m taking my first shot tomorrow
This is my first week of Wegovy. I’m glad you are giving such great advice. Thank you!!
Hello so since you posted this message how much weight have u lost till this date?
@@rh-negative5078 in a year and a half I’ve lost 55 lbs.
I was prescribed it over a month ago and the pharmacy ALL the pharmacies in my city were out and were back ordered and could take months to get it they said because of the volume of of the need of it! I just got it today and here we go! I’m excited and just can’t wait for the effects
Good luck.. How did you feel? 😃
I received it yesterday, after 15 days of waiting. And i'll put it up right now 😊🤞
Great to see you back girl. I am looking forward to more content from you. I have had great results since starting this class of medication last November and have lost 42 lbs so far. Some random nausea and vomiting especially during dosage transitions, but not unmanageable as long as I stay hydrated. I'm up to 1.7 mg now. Best of luck.
I’m on my 3rd week and lost 6.2 lbs. Had no side effects either. I’m going up to the next dosage. Keep the videos coming!
Since so many people liked my comment I’ll update ☺️. I’m now on week 2 of .5ml very little side effects, mild constipation and a little nauseous when I eat too much sugar but I’m down 11.2 lbs. I think I will stay at this dosage next month. I have not done any exercise.
Where did you do the shot? Thigh?
@@barbarasam4584 I normally do it in my stomach but I just switched to my arm. I started doing the keto diet this week and now I’m at 20 lbs lost.
@@goldengyrl333 nice
@@goldengyrl333 I just got my second shot today the new shot. .50 mg hope it works for me
I just took my first injection 11/25/24 before started watching this video. Hoping for the best
Before you even said that you were a makeup artist I said to my husband “ oh her makeup jammin” I start my Wegovy journey today. Thank you for the tips!
I start tomorrow. Scared to death.
First, I'm distracted by this natural beat face and hair!!!🤣 Love the look!!! Now, on the topic, thank you for sharing! I'm just contemplating starting and have researched myself crazy!!! Got approved and just was notified it's being delivered today, even with the shortages, happened 2 weeks after being ordered. Like you, I did the steps without actually planning to do the steps or knowing about it!
I have been on wegovy 10 for about two weeks . I have experienced no negative side effects . I actually feel more energetic and my anxiety and depression have improved . I have lost about 5 pounds in a week . I’m exercising and being mindful of what I eat. I’m taking B complex too
Nice! Are you still on it?
Your face is literally perfect! Here in the UK we are waiting on Wegovy, its been authorised but just waiting for the stock. In the meantime I have started on Ozempic and loving it after years of struggling with over eating. This video is really helpful! Thank you!
This is the best video I’ve seen in this stuff thus far thank you !
Thank you so much for sharing. My primary care doctor suggested it to me today. Going down my rabbit hole and so glad I found your video. I to have pcos and have been struggling. I’m at the point where I want a hysterectomy because of it. Will be 40 in September. Thank you again.
Wow you are so informed! Thank you so much for sharing. I've learned more from you than anyone.
Omg i just started useing Ozempic a week ago and lost 6lbs :) I'm glad to know that I can have this journey with you! I've been watching your video for 10 years!!
Please please keep updating your journey too😄 I'm trying to lose 39lbs
Yay! So glad we're in this together! Also, Im so proud of you already! I will definitely be back with more!
Ozempic
R u serious. 2 months and I've lost only 5 pounds on ozempic
You have to drink water
So glad I found this page. I’ve been prescribed Wegovy. I wasn’t really given any information other than it would help with weight loss. I’ve been having difficulty losing weight and wanted to speak to my Dr to see why. Tests were run and somehow I’m pre-diabetic. I haven’t taken my first dose because I’m trying to do all the research I can. I’m very nervous but also determined to keep bay health in check. Hopefully this works. Looking forward to more videos. ❤
Thanks for doing this. I am on day 5 of Wegovy & am down 5lbs so far. I had already lost 8lbs on my own just waiting to be able to find Wegovy in stock somewhere. So far so good. I got your starter pack from Sam's & began all of that a couple of weeks before I got the meds. No side effects so far! It's a struggle to get calories in because I am just not hungry, but I've been shooting for at least 1500 with my current weight. Anyway, thanks for the tips!
How are you doing on it?
I like her. She's so honest
Obesity is a deeper problem than how someone looks. People need to realise that if those problems are not addressed an injection or pill will only ever be a temporary fix, which will lead to weight regain (and likely extra gain). I like that at least you talked about the side effects and some behavioural changes. I have just done a video on Ozempic discussing both sides and long term healthier alternatives, give it a watch.
My endocrinologist prescribed wegovy too. Starting my first week this weekend.
I’m about to begin my journey. Thanks for the information!
I just started on wegovy your video is very informative. I am looking forward to hearing more about what it is. You’re doing too go through this process. I think it is a valuable video for others also. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
5:21 I totally feel this!! I have endo and PCOS, and it makes it so hard to lose weight while having these.
I’m on Victoza. I’ve just been diagnosed with PCOS. I’ve always had irregular periods, but this last time I went over 2 years without a period. I also didn’t have insurance for years and couldn’t do anything about it. I put on 40lbs in 2 years due to my hormonal imbalance. Like you, doctors have always told me to get on brith control. I have insurance now and I’m desperate, so currently I’m on birth control and a daily injectable ‘Victoza’ I’m down 6 lbs in 2 weeks and I’m feeling soooo much better. ♥️
Have you ever considered changing your diet? I went vegan for a period of time and it helped overall. I think if you eat a lot of food with hormones like chicken, you should cut it out or really limit it in your diet, or eat only organic chicken and meats directly from a farm. Chicken with hormones is a huge problem for women and our bodies
@@PhoenixFiyah I’ve been vegan and vegetarian before that. It didn’t change my hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, for me, this is something that needs to be treated with the help of doctors and medicine. I’ve struggle with PCOS symptoms my entire life. I do think a vegan diet would help so many women though. My issues are deeper than diet alone.
Also do you have kids I have Pcos tryna conceive
@@PhoenixFiyah Thank you for confirming my thoughts regarding hormones in chicken.
My friend had the same issues but her Dr. prescribed metformin and she got pregnant
Keep up the great work!!! I have been on Ozempic since the end of 2022 and so far I am down 35.5 LBS so far. Plus I have been on a very strict keto lifestyle and have had no side effects so far.
Nice! Are you still on it?
Ty for this very informative and real video.. I’m taking my first shot tomorrow night. Looking forward to following you along with my journey.
So today i’ll be taking my 2nd injection (week 2) & thus far i’ve loss 8lbs. Not really exercising but i do drink lots of water. I’m on the 0.25 injection of Wegovy and i’m less hungry. I do have to remind myself to eat all the time. I’m super excited. I also did a ton of research before taking this injection. I do now take the stairs at work and do a nice amount of walking
howis it going?
yes! i think that’s key. using wegovy as a tool to build better habits or a better relationship with food overall ♥️.
i couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw you uploaded! lol so good to see you & please keep us posted with this journey 💛
Thank you so much for sharing! You mentioned a lot of good things that I had not even thought of . I just started and am on day two. I look forward to your updates. You are very insightful. ❤️
Hello Tatiana, your videos are such a blessing to me. My doctor has prescribed wegovy for me. I picked it up today and will begin on Saturday. I am very much in agreement with getting info from the horses mouth. I will head to Costco on Friday to get EVERYTHING you recommend. I've been taking B-12 for some time, so I'm good there. I will continue to follow your progress. Thank you ❤
As a pharmacist I’m so sorry that we in healthcare failed you, your pharmacist should have definitely explained the medication and side effects with you. Have always loved your videos! ❤
*Based on the lack of information when it comes to say🤔contents of the c0vid vaccines. There were none on the inserts and pharmacists can’t know something that isn’t there and then things become try at your own risk🤷🏽♀️ not necessarily the pharmacist’s fault.*
Thank you for this video. I lost 21 lbs (of the 100 I need to lose) in 5 weeks w/ diet and exercise and no booze while waiting for insurance approval. I got the first 2 months of wegovy and have been debating about taking the first dose for weeks due to side effects and the thought that I can maybe lose it all without. After watching your video, I did my first injection! Hope I'm lucky and have minimal side effects 🙏 . Thank you!
Omg! I’m so glad that I could help to give you that extra push! You’re doing great! I too cut out drinking and must attribute some of my success to that as well. It’s really helped with prioritizing my sleep schedule and I hope it does the same for you. You got this💪🏽 So glad we’re in this together❤️
I am definitely on the same journey as you are . I have to stick to not snacking . I do not have the issues of not feeling full . I remember my cousin was on something similar to this 20 years ago and the side effects sounds similar .
Just starting week 2. The first few days I got worried that I was going to get sick from malnutrition, throwing up, feeling sick but have gotten the hang of it mostly. First few days were tough. Constipation. Supplemented with fiber gummies and eating oatmeal in the mornings. Had to give up bananas. Before I started this I was doing volume eating with heavy veggies then protein but I can't eat that much now. Also cannot eat at night. So, new way of eating smaller more concentrated meals but still get enough fiber and protein is key. Just got the zero sugar propel because I'm in Arizona and really worried about dehydration this summer.
Thank you so much for doing a video of Wegovy! Starting today and hoping I’ll have success!! Subscribing to your channel!
I did to!!!
Thank you! I have b12 I am one of those ones who sometimes I forget to take my vitamins but I'll make sure to take my b12 everyday. Can't wait til it comes in the mail. Yay!
First Wegovy dose today 🙌🏽 My provider (Black female DNP😊) also offers lipo-B shots which I started prior. So thankful I followed my gut (wink wink) and did it in that order. Thanks for your insight!
Just watched your video, I really enjoyed it so thank you very much. I can relate to everything you said too. I took my second injection last night and after the first week I went down 9 lbs !
Yes 9 lbs Holy crap !
Like you said though it won't carry on like that. I'm on the .25 dos
Your doctor sent you to a NUTRITIONIST and her recommendation was a MEDICATION??? Lawd. Anyway, the first part of your video reminded me of Jenn J’s recent video about her health/fertility journey. She had never had a regular cycle either, but she was able to see a naturopath who got to the root of the issue. Your body can almost always heal itself if you give it what it needs. I hope you find a provider that actually cares about your health and not just trying to push meds. You deserve to be healthy and happy. ❤

Im so glad I found your video because I’m literally going through what you went through. My period is out of whack that I’m anemic now. I went to see an OB and they pretty much told me to go on birth control too. Right now I’m trying to see if my PD will prescribe me the medicine.
Hello, love your video. I have not started my first dose yet, I am on 0.25. Is it better to do it at night or in the morning? I am worried about the fatigue and nausea.
I am with my sister, I just started Ozempic last week, I have lost 6 pounds in the first week also. I have no side effects except constipation… due to slow gastric emptying. I was also a person who never felt full. I am hopeful that this will help us 🙏🏽
What amount did you start on
@@DJRenee 0.25mg once a week
What are you doing for the constipation? I’m experiencing this too and fiber supplements aren’t helping. I had to purchase laxatives.
For the constipation get some Kefir and mix it with Miralax I drink a cup a day in the mornings!
@fitbeaut thus is a good question 🤔 seems no matter how much fiber it still doesn't help constipation
I’m not female, but I love how your story. I appreciate that you didn’t give in to them telling you to just take birth control instead of fixing the actual issue. Like you said, a bandaid! 🩹 I’m starting my Wegovy tomorrow and hoping it solves an issue I’ve been having for a long time myself, but no doctor seems to know what it is so they decided to prescribe it yesterday. Your video is super helpful!
One it's so good to see you! I watched you way back on the day day. Two, I love how you rolled out this video and talked us through your experience and what you're doin/plan. I would love to continue to hear about your journey on wegovy. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this. Great info. I hope to be starting soon so I’ll definitely grab the products you mentioned!
Congratulations Tatianna!🥰🥰🥰
Please, please do your research. My friend was on it although she lost weight she was having thyroid problems. You know there are sidd effects to all medications. Also, be informed about constipation. Talk with your doctor about anything you feel. This is like Ozempic, which was originally taken for diabetes. Then it went viral for weight loss. Also, you may find it hard to get, and some places are charging over $1,000 for these medications with insurance because of popular demand.
Yes, my insurance stated that it is covered, however my medication deductible I would have to pay $1,000.00 out of pocket.
She’s under the treatment of a doctor and did good research on her own which is great.
How about you do your research on the med… no shade but glp1 have been around for a moment… a lot of these people obese/overweight fare insulin resistant… this is no different from other chronic diseases that need tools to help get under control… people are upset bc people are using this to get lose weight and bypass the further chronic issues of obesity… I would pay $1000/mnth to help w the food noise - but only those that know know
Agreed, everybody's body is different and doing your own research based upon your health and medical history is a good recommendation sis!!!
a doctor on Good Morning Amer said it causes thyroid issues
I went on april 2023. Now November 2023. I have lost 50lbs. At my last dose mg. Been on it for about 7 weeks. Now the nausea and vomiting is driving me nuts and i'm so sick.
My heart failure specialist suggested that I talk to my PC about taking ompezc (well she kinda said it would be good for me) because I need to lose weight before I start any transplant evolution. So I have an appointment with my PC next month, a little nervous for some reason but curious to what she’ll say.
Omg your eyes are gorgeous!!
Welcome back ! Yeah love the content topic
Thanks so much for your transparency. It was super helpful.
Hi all. I just started .5 on Sunday and (TMI) I was on my cycle so I am not sure if im feeling this way because my cycle is ending and so my hormones are thrown off but ugh. So ithink im going to give it ago seeing all these great reviews. It may be my body adjusting because i just started Wegovy period on the .5 so we well see. Thank you all any feedback is helpful also recipes.
Hey I miss watching you on UA-cam 😭😭😭 you don’t know how much you inspire me on doing makeup and pushing myself of being a makeup artist
Great job 🎉I just did my last 0.25 injection and my problem has been constipation so I have been taking a gentle woman’s laxative every night and have had some success with that 🎉 I do get nauseous if I eat even one extra bite of what I’m eating… I’ve lost 6 pounds but had no energy the first two weeks 😮
I start today and I’m so nervous!!
You always was a Grear Teacher about anything. I remember when you was the only person on UA-cam doing makeup I became a huge fan it's been a long time you taught me alot..Thank you..I just need to lose about 30ty pounds I'm 5"6 and 62 I like being a size 12 but staying in scared of covid I gained up to a 14 and I hate it..a lose 12 I'm good cuz I'm tall..wish I could just buy it.❤
I just got my Wegovy and I haven’t started taking it but I want to do more research on what I need to do in order for me to have a successful journey with the meds. Your video really helped me with what products I need before I start
Please update us with your journey and progress pics! Thanks for sharing your experience so others can learn from it!!!
Thanks for sharing your story and I’m sure it will help me with knowing what to do.
I’m starting wegovy and nervous about the side effects ahh
Uggggg me too….😅
Just took my first injection yesterday (roughly 30hrs ago as I type this). Came looking for first week experiences. I don’t think I’ve felt any side effects so far. My stomach was upset and I felt tired but my stomach was upset all day, even before the wegovy and I didn’t sleep at all in a hotel the night before. So nothing I can definitely attribute to wegovy. I don’t feel any different a day after the injection. No brain interference telling me not to eat, or affecting my feeling of being hungry. I’m guessing this is normal and I just need to see how it’s going days and a week from now when it’s time for pen #2.
Girl you are gorgeous and so informative, I was so scared to do it myself! But you helped me so much❤thanks❤❤❤
Hello!
I think that it is fantastic that you are willing to chronicle your Wegovy journey. Thank you for sharing! Please include the side effects from your weekly dosage increases.
Ok! I will be back with more updates. Thanks for watching!
Starting Monday, thanks for sharing…..I’ve been on saxenda for awhile & making the switch.
Hi. Welcome back! Thought about trying it if my current program doesn’t work out for me. Yes keep coming back with updates. Thanks for sharing!
I use a measured water bottle. It has motivation marks from 7am to 9pm. 😊
Greasy food hasn't made me nauseas at all but it makes me have to go to the bathroom an hour later. However - it just helps counteract any constipation. I've never lost my appetite entirely on Wegovy. I eat less at each meal but I'm still hungry for my meals.
Thank you for sharing. I just got my prescription yesterday. Waiting for pA. I was so scared bc of the nausea.
