Week 1 on 0.25mg Wegovy — what I wish I'd known

11d ago

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?

Adding mine: brush your teeth right after eating. The taste of food lingers way longer than it used to and it kills my appetite for the next meal.

How did you find a doctor willing to prescribe? Mine keeps saying "come back when you're 30 lb heavier."

Telehealth. Sequence, Hims, or Found if you want a name. They prescribed for me on the first visit.

Ginger tea. Iced or hot. Saved me through Week 1.

Seconding the protein-first thing. Went from sick every meal to fine in a single weekend just by reordering my plate.
