[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expected is 1-2lbs a week. Unfortunately, some people freak out if they’re not losing 5lbs a week. [/quote]

+1. Anatomy of a FB Wegovy support group:

Week 1: I’ve lost 6 pounds
Week 2: make that 12
Week 5: I lost 20 pounds on the first dose, moved up and nothing for two days. Why isn’t it working ?!?!

This, plus the people who are:

Week 1: wow, I’m only having to eat 300 calories a day
Week 2: make that 200!
Week 5:  I’ve missed 6 days of work since I started due to exhaustion. When am I going to stop feeling tired all the time??? I want to exercise, really. But I’m too exhausted!!!  But, plus side, down to 150 calories a day.  :shock:

(For reference, my bariatric center wants me to aim for 1200 calories a day and understands that it might be closer to 1000 when I dose up or the couple days after a shot. If I drop below that or drop weight too fast, they will drop my dose, whether I like it or not.  And I have a ton of energy).

Which is why I gave up on FB Wegovy support groups. Either doctors aren’t setting expectations with patients before scribing or patients aren’t listening.
