I’ve (39F) been on Wegovy for 8 months now, and 2.4mg for about 2 months, and it’s going really well overall. I lost 50 lbs (started at 248) and although the dosage ramp up had been hard at time, since being on the 2.4 dosage it’s been going well. With the exception on really bad constipation.
No matter how much fibre I tried to get in, I was so backed up, and nothing was working other than laxative. I started having all the negative effect of constipation like bloating, hemorrhoid… nightmare!
I started Metamucil last week, within 2 days I was regular again and everything is back to normal. No other side effect so far, like gas or bloating. I take a heaping tsp a day in the morning, with orange juice (it mask the taste really well), and since I always have a coffee or tea as well, it’s a good time of day to take it liquid wise.
I struggled so much with constipation with Wegovy and if anyone has similar issue, I wanted to share something that worked so well for me.
