2 weeks in after wegovy
Hi everyone 👋
I was on ozempic then switched to wegovy, and lost 60lbs from 202 to 140lbs. I was actually able to maintain 140 for over a year, however, my goal weight is closer to 130 (I am 5’5). I had to get off of wegovy for a surgery, and gained 15lbs from January-April. Went back on wegovy, 0 impact, 0 weight loss for 4 weeks…
Made the switch to reta, started first dose at 1 since I am so used to wegovy. 0 side effects, so week 2 I moved to 2. Again, luckily 0 side effects, feeling great but also not any weight loss.
I’ve read so many posts & listened to so many podcasts, and while most say it takes time to settle in your body, weight loss happens closer to week 4-5, I keep seeing posts about people losing so much weight immediately. Guess I’m just looking for reassurance 😮💨
For reference, I workout 5-6x a week; lift weights 4x a week, run 3x a week, and do reformer Pilates 2-3x a week. I also make sure my steps are minimum 7k. Track all macros, emphasis on protein and just increased my fat in take (cheese, guacamole), while staying under 1700 calories.
I’m so frustrated with how exhausting it is and how much effort it takes to look so average (and fat) 😫
