What to expect
I begin taking Wegovy tonight/tomorrow. I'm nervous, excited, optimistic, yet I feel guily and ashamed for having to take this route, and havent told my daughter, my partner, or my family. Afraid of success? Failure? Both? Anyway, I have done online research but I'm hoping to get some real-world insight as to what to expect, and maybe some tips I could use to help the process, minimize side effects. Some questions: is there a better day/time of day to take it? My doctor recommended Fridays but warned that I may feel like garbage thru the weekend. I know I'm to continue diet/exercise but should I religiously count calories as I have in the past, or can I be a little more forgiving? I understand this medication works in conjunction with diet and exercise so I know I can't eat 3000 calories a day or be sedentary. How bad is the nausea/gas/diarrhea/vomiting? Does it eventually subside or continue as long as you take the drug? I'm not sure if this helps, but I'm 47f/currently 190lbs. My goal is 165-170. What is a reasonable timeframe as to when I may begin to see results? I know I sound eager, my goal is to manage expectations. Thank you to anyone able/willing to share their experiences.
