50 year old male, 5’10”. SW 217.3, CW 211.2, GW 175. Down 6.1 pounds.

I mentioned in another thread that I don’t attribute my initial weight loss directly to Wegovy. I stocked up on protein shakes and protein bars. I’ve been drinking Metamucil twice a day for added fiber. I stopped all alcohol. I have been drinking a shitton of water. I feel that most of that weight loss is due to water loss and prep work rather than the medication. That said, I’ll take it.

The first week I didn’t have any real side effects. Food noise was mostly lower than normal. It was easier to pass on cake and cookies (birthday parties and my 13 year old being in a cookie making phase) than normal.

I am waiting to start consistent exercise until after week two just to feel like I am acclimated to the meds. Overall, the first week was easier than I was expecting. The hardest part was finding the starter dose! I ordered my .5 step up dose last week and am crossing my finger that I can get it filled in the next 3 weeks!
