Why did you Switch to Wegovy? I’m kinda afraid to switch to Ozempic. I heard side effect is worse. I’m on Mounjaro, but can’t titrate to 5mg.Not Available.
My insurance company would not approve Mounjaro or Zepbound I have to demonstrate that Wegovy will not work for me before they will consider possible approval of the former.
I had done some different research on videos and several people indicated that they had less side effects with the thigh injections. Keeping in mind that everybody is different. I did try a stomach injection one week and I had a bad bout with diarrhea and vomiting so I went back to the thighs.
Your doctor shouldn’t put you on Ozempic unless you’re diabetic. I’m pre diabetic, but that’s the reason I’m on Wegovy. My doctor says Ozempic is mainly for diabetes.
Thank you for all the information and tips. I went to the doctor 2 days ago and she prescribed me Wegovy. I’m waiting on a prior authorization from my insurance company. I will binge watching all your videos 😊
I swear on everything I love, you told me what I need to hear. I've had my doses for weeks but I wasn't sure about a lot of things. All the questions I had you answered. I'll start next Thursday night. I'm ready to get my weight loss journey started. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell your story ❤❤❤❤❤
Just started my 0.25 injection. My craving whispers are basically gone. I used to hear whispers for Chinese food and now I don’t even think about it. Amazing.
6 weeks into wegovy l have lost but this nausea l will not stop l heard it gets better l have appointment with dietician tomorrow, to try to learn what I can eat, and lm going to increase my water l will be in touch, thank you ❤️
My doctor let me try this and I went back to the doctor and then they ran out. So at this point I'm waiting for them to get some more. So when I went to get my prescription it was something wrong so that I had to give them my card and now they're trying to work it out. But nobody told me that you had to have protein and all this and that I just try to drink as much water as I can. But it's hard to do that because it doesn't even make me hungry. I can go through a whole day without eating anything. No cravings for anything so I'm making myself eat really which is weird because then I can think about what to eat. I shop on the outer perimeter in the grocery store. I never go inside where the cookies or the cakes or the breads or any of that
Yes that has happened to a lot of us we're just given the prescription without some of the key things that we need to do when taking a GLP-1. Good luck with getting your prescription filled.
Hello! I started on Friday saved then it was my TOM. So I do not believe I lost any weight nor did I lose my appetite. I did make an effort to watch my intake at meals. I also got a small bruise where I took my shot.
I’m on week 3 of .25 wegovy and over the last 3 weeks I’ve only lost 😞 1 pound.. food noise is still there.. I’m still stopping for fast food… I don’t feel or act any different.. still having unhealthy food and no body movements.. Hphmm.
Trust me I do know the feeling. I'm now on the 1.0 mg and I'm a slow responder to semaglutide. Despite what a lot of people have been reporting I did not have the immediate no food noise and my weight loss has been very very slow
Hi, new subbie here. Thanks for this info. I have a Question…I didn’t know I shouldn’t take tums and I did so last night due to terrible heartburn. I know this is a side effect of Wegovy that I am taking. Is there a reason why tums are a no no? I won’t take any more but they did help. I’m in week 1. Lost 4 lbs so far 3 days into this first week.
Hello per my research in looking at the reference material that was given to me by the doctor the Tum’s can possibly make constipation worse if you’re also experiencing it as another side effect. Like you my first go to would be the Tum’s
Actually I didn’t have a hard time getting it. While the CVS that I use didn’t have it in stock, the pharmacist found another CVS that did and I was able to call them and they held it for me.
In addition to the Lipid Panel, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel and the Hemoglobin A1C the doctor had them test my Insulin, TSH W/Refelx To Ft4 and CBC (Includes DIFF/PLT).
@@theresastressman147 I would definitely check with your healthcare provider because even stopping your injections at the halfway point would not necessarily be equivalent to what you’re trying to achieve. This is definitely something that you’d need to discuss with your physician and/or provider. Now I’ve heard that people who are using the compounds are able to control their dosage a little more because they’re actually extracting from a vial but in your case if you’re using the actual pen, I would say definitely coordinate this with your doctor.

I also wanted to add that I have not had any major side effects with the Wegovy. I also inject into my thighs instead of into the stomach.
@lifestyleforliving820 Is there a reason why you inject your thigh versus your stomach?
I had done some different research on videos and several people indicated that they had less side effects with the thigh injections. Keeping in mind that everybody is different. I did try a stomach injection one week and I had a bad bout with diarrhea and vomiting so I went back to the thighs.

Yes when I started on the 0.25 mg I did not see a drastic appetite suppression at first nor did I lose much weight the first couple of weeks

Try be I’m or Prilosec for the burping
@@therealsongstress Thanks
did your doctor prescribe the medication?
I used Plush Care online
I’m on day 5 and lost 5 pounds
This is great!
did you have a hard time getting the 0.25?
Actually I didn’t have a hard time getting it. While the CVS that I use didn’t have it in stock, the pharmacist found another CVS that did and I was able to call them and they held it for me.
Can also use compounded semataglutide from pharmacy. Just ensure pharmacy is FDA approved GMP
Yes the pharmacy was out of stock for two weeks
What additional blood work did they do?
In addition to the Lipid Panel, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel and the Hemoglobin A1C the doctor had them test my Insulin, TSH W/Refelx To Ft4 and CBC (Includes DIFF/PLT).
Even the .25 is too muxh can i stop the pen half way through the yellow to gt the .12
