I have been on the Semaglutide Shot for the past 2 years. I have given 125 lbs. away, and ironically, was just diagnosed with Lupus on October 30. I am now also thinking of going off the shot, as I have hit a plateau and with new medication, wonder if staying with it is beneficial. The idea that I may gain some weight from the new Medications is a bit scary, but I write down EVERYTHING I eat every day. I plan on staying with that, so hopefully that will help. I have recently thrown up more, which stinks, but I understand completely where you are.

Thank you. I think I’m going to just stop the wegovy and return to the gym. I stopped the gym bc I haven’t been feeling well, but the last few days I feel almost like my old self. I’m due for the wegovy tomorrow but I’m going to skip it and see how the nausea is. It was so bad up until just yesterday morning from last Friday. I took the injection last Friday bc of Thanksgiving. Thank you for your reply. Join my team!

yes it was like having the flu the entire time . I switched to Retatrutide and it has been amazing.... not only have I lost more weight but the side effects are minimal if any . That has been the consensus amongst almost everybody that tries

Wegovy and other weight loss meds of this type cause nausea, Holly. You may want to talk with your doctor about alternatives.
