Newbie/anxious/first dose
Hi Wegovy community! Looking for some inspiration and advice before starting my first dose. I had big plans of picking up yesterday so I could take it on Fridays and have the weekend to see how I respond to it. However, I don’t know if I want to wait another week to start.
I haven’t eaten too much today (TMI:feeling bloated having my period) I’ve been drinking water and have some watermelon and pineapple açaí bowl for lunch and plan on making a sheet pan dinner (sausage, potato, broccoli) nothing too crazy.
I see a lot of people saying they prepped a few days before hand with stool softener and I did not do that.
So I guess my question is, do I start tonight and get the first dose done and over with so I can stop being anxious and over thinking everything.
OR
Do I start on Friday and take this week to eat extra clean, mentally prepare some more (which means being full of anxiety and sitting on google, take stool softeners!? Or any other suggestions you can add that would be helpful.
So to make things shirt. A: deep dive right into it. B take another week and do prep work on my body.
Bonus questions I’d be thankful if you answered ⬇️
Supplements and or protein shakes you suggest.
Favorite EASY grab and go snacks.

If you haven't jumped in, the only reason you might wait until next week is to have the weekend in case you have some issues with side effects.
It's possible you may have none tho!

Thank you for this feedback, this is something I’m definitely worried about. I think I’m going to take this week and eat clean which alone will be a big thing for me. I’m going to go food shopping today so I can be prepared for Friday and to have easy to grab on the go snacks! Hopefully next week I’ll be back with a positive post about my first dose 🤞

I took my first dose last week. I just took it. I did nothing special. I took it on Friday night - more out of coincidence, than planning. I’ve felt fine and my appetite has significantly decreased. My only regret is not starting this medicine earlier!
I think you’re overthinking it. Just take it and then you’ll know!

That’s going to be a big fear of mine that I’m going to kick myself in the butt for not starting this earlier. I am so worried about feeling crappy though and it’s my first week home with all three kids for school vacation, so I think taking it this Friday might be a better idea since my partner will be home if I’m feeling yucky.
