"Switched to Wegovy because insurance would no longer cover Mounjaro. After a year of slow and steady decline in weight on Mounjaro with little to no side effects, Wegovy stalled my progress. I lost nothing, felt nauseous, was constipated, and burpy. It reintroduced cravings for foods I had little interest in during Mounjaro. I was hungry (peckish) most of the day. I regained 5 lbs in 6 months, reversing my previous downtrend. I was on the max dose. I have friends who, at the same time, were successful in losing weight."

"Have been using Wegovy about 6 months now, down 39 pounds. Some side effects like heartburn, rotten egg burps, and headaches at times are pretty bad. I’ve also noticed my taste buds have changed a lot! Either the food tastes different or it makes me gag within a few bites."

"It’s my second week on 0.25 mg, I’ve lost 8.8 pounds in 8 days. Agree the first couple of days was water retention but I see it in my face and reduced belly fat. First day I had a headache but not really suffered any of the side effects as such. I have RA and in the first few days the swelling in my hands and knees has reduced significantly. I feel from an RA point of view the best I’ve felt in years in such a short time."

"I have been on Wegovy for 6 months. I am on the highest dosage now. It has not been a pleasant journey. I feel sick probably half the time. The worst side effect for me is constipation. I poop every 4th or 5th day. I get horrible cramps. I have only vomited 3 or 4 times. I’m waiting for the side effects to go away. I am going to stay on it for a year and re-evaluate if the side effects are worth it. I have never had chemotherapy, but I think this has similar side effects. I have lost 1 pound a week, so about 28 lbs."

"I am super tired after the 3rd day, hoping it stops. Also, I can't eat much of anything. More like snacking is all I can do right now. No way I could eat a full meal. 1/4 of a sandwich puts my belly on 100% full. Hope this is normal. Thx."

"I am on my second week, and I have a problem with eating anything. My tummy feels like I took my meds, and it didn't wash all the way down, and that's with food or drinks."

"After taking my first 2.4 injection on Friday, by Sunday my body felt like I had a severe sunburn and joint pain. It’s now been 6 days, and it has yet to go away. I will not take even a lower dose until my symptoms subside."

"The medication was good for the first 2 months, but I'm stuck at my current weight for about 4 months. Just got an increase to 1.7 mg, so hopefully I will start losing more weight."

"Lost 10 lbs in 3.5 weeks, but the side effects mean I will be stopping. Diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, headaches, bloating. Felt ill most of the time. Working and traveling problematic due to having to be close to a toilet!"

"I've been taking Wegovy since September (2024). I initially did not like the way it made me feel. I was experiencing constipation, headaches, and nausea. My next dose was 0.50, which the pharmacy was out of until this past April 2025. I was determined to see if I could withstand the side effects. My appetite was suppressed immediately. I experienced constipation, which I counteracted with stool softeners every day. I took Zofran for the nausea. I had started riding my stationary bike around the same time that I started Wegovy. On April 17th, 2025, I started walking 30 minutes a day. I am now at a 1.7 dose. Side effects are minimal. I noticed that if I am constipated, I would get nauseous. Stay away from heavy grease. I consume a protein shake every morning and try to eat meat as much as I can as I do not really have a taste for meat or I no longer like alcohol. I am happy that I tried it again. I am 6'1" and was 283. I am 266. I want to be 240. Yay!"

"I'm so amazed with Wegovy. I lost 47 pounds in 5 months. No side effects. I was scared at first, but if you want to lose weight, try Wegovy. I started exercising, changed my diet, the weight started coming off the first week."

"This medicine is life-changing! I have never felt more healthy physically and mentally. Food no longer controls my life. I eat to fuel my body and want to choose healthier options. I don't waste the little I do eat on empty calories. I'm not beating myself up for not having any willpower or making bad choices, and I'm not ashamed of the way I look. My knees don't hurt and I haven't been sick (cold or flu) much, if at all. The injection is painless, easy to administer, and so quick. I have not experienced any side effects. I just feel normal for the first time ever and am so grateful for this breakthrough."

"My experience with Wegovy has been typical. I’ve experienced diarrhea and constipation, but all of it was manageable and comes and goes. I'm a believer. The medication is working for me. 45 lbs down in six months without working out due to a knee and back injury. I would 100% recommend it to anyone."

"I am just 10 days in having been prescribed it in the NHS via Oviva. The run-in to receiving the meds has been really useful. I think success is dependent on coaching and mindset and lots of hints and tips via their app on how to get your balance of carbs, protein, and veg right. So far, minimal side effects at 0.25mg just a bit of nausea and headaches. First week, 4lb loss, which I am really pleased with. This is a two-year journey for me, so slow and steady is key I think."

"It’s not always what we’re eating, it’s how we’re eating it. And honestly? That one shift changed my entire relationship with food. From age 16 to 27, I bounced between extremes: strict keto, fasting, then binge eating. My weight would fluctuate drastically, and people were constantly shocked when they saw me months later. I lived in a cycle of all-or-nothing. But something changed when I started Wegovy. Not just my appetite, but my mindset. For the first time, I wasn’t being restrictive. I wasn’t following keto. I wasn’t avoiding my “binge foods.” I was actually eating them. But this time, I was eating them differently. I’d sit down. I’d take my time. I’d actually taste the food, not shoving it in while standing in the kitchen, already thinking about the next bite. And you know what? I started losing more weight than ever. Not because I was eating “healthier” food, but because I finally stopped frantically eating. I was present. Wegovy changed my mindset!"

"This is a miracle pen, started on 5/22 155 lbs today 5/26 150 lbs. No side effects except the day I took the shot, got very tired in the afternoon. Eating protein shakes, not hungry at all. Hopefully, my insurance continues to pay for it!"

"Love this drug. I’ve lost 34 lbs with very little side effects. You do have to watch what you eat, some foods, especially fried foods, make you feel horrible. I’ve been on it for 1 year, which is good because I lost slowly, not all at once. The longer you keep the weight off. You do have to change your eating habits. In the beginning, I had a lot of heartburn, but I took OTC medicine, and eventually, I no longer had this problem. I’m not a big water drinker, so I’m trying to drink more water to help with constipation. You also have to limit your alcohol intake, so 1 glass of wine at dinner, and that’s it."

"I have lost almost 70 pounds and feel great! This has been great! Initially, I had some days I was sick to my stomach and ate a little bit, it didn’t last long."

"It definitely works. I have lost 15% of my weight in 8 months - almost all of it since January 2025. The side effects are really bad for me though. Stomach pain, vomiting for two days after an injection, and general nausea. I may have to stop or go down to 1%."

"I have been experiencing nausea at least once a week. I’m finding it hard to eat as I have been turned off most foods. I used to love chocolate, but I can only manage to eat the odd piece. I used to like sweet things, but now sweets are far too sweet!"

"I lost 25 lbs on a 0.25 Wegovy dose between February 25th and May 7th (about 10 weeks). I went from 178 lbs to 153 lbs. I am a male, 5'6''. I was already exercising for 45-50 minutes a day for 6 days a week, but I could not lose the weight. Wegovy helped me control my appetite mentally, resulting in fewer calorie intake, and boom, the weight started to come off. I also have fatty liver disease and have recently seen some studies showing promising results with this drug. I sometimes have mild bloating and stomach cramps, but not extreme."

"At 5'4" and weighing 176 pounds, in spite of exercising twice a day, I just could not kick-start weight loss. Started Wegovy on March 19 at the lowest dose (0.25 mg). Thus far, I have lost 11 pounds, slow is good! I continue to exercise, I just eat less with no snacking. Other than some dizziness, typically the day after an injection (now using 0.5 mg), and some afternoon fatigue at times, I have had no side effects! After reaching my goal weight of 135 pounds, I plan to taper off Wegovy. I so hope I can maintain the weight loss, I do not want to use the medication the rest of my life!"

"I have done very well with Wegovy. I am now on the highest dose. This is the 3rd week on the highest dose, and I have lost 25 lbs in 4 months, and I am still losing. I have had some common issues such as nausea, diarrhea in the first month, but that went away. Then in the 2nd month, I had minor stomach pain, and the diarrhea changed to constipation. I am still experiencing constipation but managing it with fiber. Other than these issues, I am happy with the medication, and I feel so much better!"
