First Day of Wegovy went well. Just tired and a headache after the shot yesterday. No other side effects. I was careful about what I ate, and about keeping portion sizes small. Keeping a food diary so I know exactly what works well. All of your suggestions have been extremely helpful!

Weight loss drugs like Ozempic & Wegovy (GLP-1s) are meant to be taken long-term.

When people get off of them, they gain the weight back much quicker as metabolic changes lead to voracious appetites. Any improvements to blood sugar, cholesterol, or blood pressure are reversed.

The drugs are also typically less effective the 2nd or 3rd time around, if stopped and restarted.

Diet and exercise are the best ways to go, with or without GLP-1s.
