Headaches in week 1 — dehydration or the medication?

Three denied claims later, I finally got my Wegovy approved. Here's what changed in the third appeal: my doctor submitted a peer-to-peer review request AND cited the plan's own coverage policy language directly in the appeal. Insurance companies are betting you'll give up. Don't.

Incredible progress. Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone's different of course.

Reading this and I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. You've got this.

Adding my two cents: I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

Coming back to this thread, I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps. Onward! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Honestly, A1C came back normal at my last check-up. That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through.

Have you tried injecting in the evening? That helped my nausea enormously.

Following along, Titrating slowly is so underrated, no rush to climb. Keep us posted!

Late to this but So proud of you. Talk to your prescriber before changing anything, but slow worked for me.

My doctor kept me at 0.5mg for 10 weeks. Slower titration, fewer side effects — worth it.

For what it's worth, Everyone titrates differently, listen to your own body. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. This past year has been the biggest change of my life. Keep going, seriously. This community is the best.

The sulfur burps are embarrassing but Pepto and Gas-X got me through the worst weeks.

That stall messed with my head too, you'll break through. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. This community is the best.

For what it's worth, Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone's different of course.

Starting the weight-loss log here because I need accountability. Starting weight: 278 lbs. Goal: 195 lbs. Week 1 on 0.25mg semaglutide. No real side effects yet, just a slightly off stomach on injection day. Will update every Monday.

Reading this and Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. This community is the best.

For what it's worth, Are you pairing it with any walking or strength work. Hang in there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing. I split my routine around the shot day now and it helps.

Totally agree. Such an inspiration honestly. Did your appetite come back at all on the higher dose. Rooting for you. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
