Started my first 0.25 dose Sunday night before bed. Day 2 hit me with the food noise quieting almost immediately, which felt surreal after 20 years of fighting cravings. **Things nobody warned me about:** - Drink way more water than you think. The constipation is real. - Eat slowly. Like, *really* slowly. Otherwise you'll learn the hard way what "sulfur burps" means. - Protein first at every meal. I aim for 30g before I touch carbs. Anyone else have a Week 1 they'd add to this list?

Lost 28 lb the first 3 months on Wegovy, scale hasn't moved in 5 weeks. I'm on 1.7 mg right now. Doctor's offering to bump me to 2.4 next refill but I'm nervous about side effects since 1.7 was a rough adjustment. For those who pushed through to 2.4 — did the loss restart? Or did your body just adjust to the higher dose without much change?

Hit my one-year mark on Mounjaro this week. 247 → 197. I want to talk about the stuff that doesn't show up in progress photos. - I don't think about food constantly anymore. That alone is worth the cost. - My knees stopped hurting around the 30 lb mark. - My resting heart rate dropped from 82 to 64. - I sleep through the night now. Used to wake up at 3am every night. The scale stuff is real but the quality-of-life stuff is what makes me say I'd never go back.

Hit my goal (lost 65 lb) two months ago. I've been hovering within a 3-lb window since, which technically is maintenance, but I'm still on 2.4 mg. My doctor wants to taper to 1.7 then 1.0 and see how I do. Anyone done this taper successfully? I'm scared of regaining. The studies on stopping show pretty bad rebound but tapering's barely studied.

I'm always tired the day after. Trying to figure out if other people structure their week around the shot or just push through. Curious about: - What day of the week you inject - Morning vs evening - Anything you do differently the day of (lighter food? more water?) - How long until you feel "normal" again I'm Sunday night, and Monday is rough, so I might switch to Friday night and let the weekend absorb it.

I felt great on 0.25 mg. Almost no side effects, mild appetite suppression. So when month 2 came I figured I'd jump to 1.0 and skip the 0.5 to lose faster. Reader, I do not recommend this. I spent 4 days unable to keep water down and ended up with an ER visit for dehydration. The titration ladder isn't a suggestion, it's how your gut adapts to the slowdown. Going up too fast is how people end up hospitalized and giving up on these meds entirely.
