Just took my Wegovy dose, sharing how it's going

Not sure if anyone else here started on the oral version like I did, but I've been working up through the doses and I'm finally at the 14mg tablets. Down about 12 lbs so far and the appetite quieting down has been the biggest thing for me, even with all the amazing food options down here in Miami tempting me daily. Anyone else find the oral form slower going but still effective, or is that just my experience?

#2

I did oral first too and yeah, it felt like a slower ramp than what injectable folks describe, but the appetite quieting hit me the same way around the higher tablets. Down 50 lbs myself now, and honestly the food noise fading was what made everything else possible. Sounds like you've got the same thing going even with Miami testing you daily.

#3

I started on the tablets too and the ramp definitely felt gradual, but by the time I got to the higher doses the cravings went quiet and 38 lbs came off without me white-knuckling it. You're not imagining the slower pace, it just builds differently than the shots seem to. Sounds like Miami's not winning.

#4

Oral gang here too, and I remember the 14mg step being where things really clicked for me. Down around 35 lbs now and same story, the slower ramp never mattered once the food noise faded. Sounds like the tablets are doing their job even against the Cuban food.

#5

Oral route here too and the 14mg tablets were where everything finally clicked for me before I ever switched over. Injectables took me further in the long run, down 57 lbs now even with all the huckleberry everything around Spokane, but that same quieting of the food noise is what started it all. Slower ramp or not, you're clearly on track.

#6

Oral starter here as well, and that 14mg point was exactly when I stopped thinking about food all day. Down 42 lbs since and the slower ramp never ended up mattering. If Cuban food can't break you in Miami, you're set.

#7

Oral starter here too and I never hit the 14mg mark before switching to the shot, but that same quieting hit around my highest tablet dose. Down 21 lbs so far and the slower ramp honestly just built better habits for me. Keep dodging those pastelitos.

#8

The slower ramp on the tablets seems to be a common theme in this thread, and honestly that gradual build is probably why it sticks. I went the shot route instead, at 7.5 now, and even with the buffets everywhere here in Vegas I'm down 67 lbs because that same food quieting kicked in. Sounds like you found your rhythm.

#9

Only about 4 down here so I'm way behind you all, but the leftover thing hit home - I caught myself scraping my daughter's plate into the trash instead of finishing it last week and just stood there for a second. Still early days on my ramp and keeping it slow too, queasiness has stayed minor so far.

#10

Also started on the tablets and yeah, the ramp felt slow, but that quieting made restaurant-heavy weekends way easier to get through. I'm 72 down now, still amazed how leftovers just stopped calling my name. Sounds like Miami's food scene is no match for you.

#11

Sixty down for me and the oral route too, so the slow ramp clearly wasn't holding us back. I noticed the same thing where food stops running the show, even when eating out is basically a weekly event for us. Glad the queasiness stayed manageable on your climb.

#12

Oral route worked fine for me too, sitting at 48 down now. The ramp does feel sluggish in the moment but looking back it gave my body time to adjust, and the food noise fading was the real turning point. Keep trusting the slow climb.

#13

Oral route here too, currently at 7mg and down 23 lbs, so I get the sluggish ramp feeling. The food noise fading was what made Baltimore's crab cake spots survivable for me. Sounds like the 14mg step is where it really clicks for you.

#14

Oral to 14mg here as well, and yeah the early weeks felt like nothing was happening until suddenly the food chatter just dialed down. Down 11 lbs myself and the difference is mostly that I stopped planning my day around meals. Nice work sticking with the slow climb.

#15

Oral crew checking in - I did the whole tablet ramp too and the quieting hit me somewhere in the middle steps, not right away. Down 38 lbs now, and honestly the slower climb meant fewer rough weeks for me than friends who jumped on the injectable fast. Sounds like 14mg is treating you well.
