Girl I did it with you 😂, I was so scared this being my first time but it actually was very easy and no pain at all… thank you for doing this straight forward video. ❤ 2month Update: So i’m now at 1ml for wegovy. In total I’ve lost about 17lb in two months. The .5ml didn’t do much the first two weeks but the 1ml is much more effective. keep in mind that’s with little to almost no exercise if I’m honest. I have a back injury I’ve been trying to heal. So don’t expect a drastic change if you’re not working out. No major side effects for me. I only get nausea when I smell something extremely bad. Some minor stomach cramps every blue moon, and very little breakouts on my face that went away after a week, No constipation issues.
@@doloresgil1328 I barely have any symptoms now but when I first started the 2.4 mg dose I did experience nausea. I occasionally have dry mouth but I guzzle so much water that it really isn’t an issue. Overall I feel great! I hope it goes well for you also!!
I never done it in my arms or thighs, my endocrinologist started me with ozempic, 4 months after make me go With wegovy, the best, huge amazing difference. I inject mine on my abdomen, I hold a bit some of my abdomen, and go, I never tasted it or felt any bad side effects. I won’t inject mine ever on thighs or arms, my abdomen works perfect to me. Good luck! This medicine is miracle. I’m so happy. It changed my life
Thank you for your video it was so helpful. I have been putting off starting my wegovy for 2 weeks because I was so afraid. I watched your video a couple of times and I did it with you. How silly. It was so easy and over before I knew it. No pain at all! Thank you for helping this big baby! XOXO
Thank you for your comment and congratulations on starting your Wegovy weight loss journey. I’m so happy your injection went well for you and that it was pain free! 🎊💕🎉
The only comment that i have that is negative, is , don't blow the clean site after cleaning with alcohol, because your blowing germs back onto the site you just cleaned, lol. Other wise love your video.
You are so welcome! I absolutely LOVE your handle! I’m so happy that I was able to help you even if it was in a small way it really gives me a tremendous amount of joy. Thank you so much for your comment, I sincerely appreciate it💕
I just started taking wegovy today and i wanted to see what to expect first. Your video helped me tremendously!! Thank you for going step by step and explaining it all!
👋🏽 Hi, congratulations on starting your journey 🎊🎉…thank you so much for your comment and I am so happy I was able to help you and you found some value in my video! I hope wegovy treats you well… you got this!!!
Im going thru the intro process to wegovy. Goal is to lose 65lbs. you made the shot look so easy, and I am the most worried about that part. Ill keep you posted and like your channel and your inspiring spirit !!
Thank you so much for your comment. I am 63 pounds down and like you I was nervous to inject myself. It’s so quick and it really gets easier each week. I hope you start soon but I understand you have to be ready! Yes, please keep me posted!💕
Thanks so much for making this video so simple and helpful!! I’ve never injected myself with anything before and was so nervous about doing it, but your instructions were super easy to follow along 💕
You are very welcome. I came to realize that a lot of people including myself had never injected medication prior to starting wegovy and for many it can be a real fear. I’m happy you feel a little more comfortable with injecting yourself. It does get easier every week. Thank you for your comment ❤️
Mz Kia, Thank you! I’ve been watching so many folks and you simplified everything! God bless you THANK YOU MY DEAR. I was afraid injecting my wife . Thank you Thank you thank you God bless you.
@Zannyiia 👋🏽 Hi, I’ve been on wegovy since June 2023 and I’ve lost over 60 lbs… I’ve plateaued a little bit as of recently but I’m hanging in there, I’m super close to my goal weight.
This video was so very helpful, because I thought I did it wrong but you eased my mind. Then someone asked me if I primed my pen and I about lost it. So keep sharing please we need your wisdom ❤
Hi there 👋🏽 , thank you for your comment. I’m happy you feel more comfortable with injecting yourself. It’s a major hurdle for many but it will get easier each week. 💕
i thought it was going to hurt , took me damn 5mins to work myself up to jab myself - the most painless needle i have ever felt , not even a pinch nothing , painless.
Just picked up my Wegovy and plan on taking my first injection Friday night or Sat night. Worried about being nauseous the next day. what should I expect? I have to work catering most of Sat evening and night. I'm worried about feeling sick while working.
If you experience nausea try staying hydrated with water and try sipping on some peppermint tea. If you are working and you can’t then sucking on a mint or chewing mint gum has also helped me in the past.
My weight loss journey has been just that… a journey with some highs and lows but for the most part it’s been rewarding to reach my health goals. I’m very thankful for this medication, it’s a great tool!🙏💗
Yes! you definitely must push down on the pen in order for the needle to make contact with you skin. Once you push down on the pen, you will feel a small poke and that’s the needle. Continue to apply pressure until you see the yellow bar completely cover the window.
I just did my first shot and was so nervous I watched your video like 5 times before lol but when I did mine I only herd one click and the yellow bar had stopped already and didn’t hear a second click did I do it wrong ?
Congratulations on starting your journey 🎊… it seems as if your injection was successful. If you injected the medication and there was no leakage and you definitely saw the yellow bar chances are you injected the medication correctly 👏
I am going to comment. There are so many ridiculous videos out there.😬😖 I needed something precise and without any distractions. I picked up my prescription on September 9th and have so much anxiety around taking it. Every day I tell myself this is the day and here I am October 28th. 😖 I have messaged my doctor several times and she has not responded. I think I'll meditate first. Thank you for putting this out. I'm editing this to add that I did ask for my doctor to setup an appointment with NP or another person. I am having lower back surgery next month and losing any amount of weight would have been helpful. I saw my neurosurgeon on October 11th and they gave me test orders, some I have completed and they are supposed to be within 30 days. So soon.🤯
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and I sincerely hope everything works out for you. Often times the actual injection isn’t as bad as many people think. So many people have agreed that it was almost painless if not completely painless. But I do understand that you must be ready and needles can be intimidating. I hope if you decide to start the medication that it goes well for you! Thank you for your comment 💕
Thank you so much, I do have a very basic routine that I’ve been doing for years. I should probably improve on it since I’m getting older 😂. I use Neutrogena Ultra Gentle daily cleanser, I exfoliate once a week, I don’t use colored wash clothes, and I moisturize daily with a retinol niacinamide cream made by Advanced Clinicals.
I just found your channel and got mine today … am starting on 0.25 … am looking to loose over a 100lbs . Thanx for making this video … also I open to any advice !!! Thanx
Hi there 👋🏽 we share nicknames 🤭. Congratulations on starting your wegovy journey. Are you starting a RUclips channel? If so, my advice is just to create, and be consistent and authentic. Try to update your viewers weekly if you can and stay the course. Hopefully everything will work out for the best!! If you weren’t referring to creating content then I’m officially nuts 😂
Quick question why the arm or leg ? When I went to my clinic to pick up mine the doctor said we gonna do stomach only and I was nervous to ask why lol ❤
Hi, personally my arm and leg is just preferred. My doctor as well as the official Wegovy website listed the upper arms, stomach and thigh as acceptable injection sites. Also I’m just personally nervous to inject anything into my stomach but it is a recommended injection site. But I’m not sure why your doctor only wants you to inject the medication into your stomach. There are some injection instructions in your Wegovy prescription box and step 2 says “your healthcare provider can help choose the injection site that is best for you .” So perhaps your doctor feels your stomach is the best injection site. I hope this helped!
Thanks so much I will get the courage to ask her next time because I was so confused why she specifically wanted me to do my stomach as I was only 5 weeks post of my hysterectomy and my stomach incisions were so fresh
Awww I hope your recovery is going well ❤️🩹 that is very interesting and I am super curious to know why as well please ask your doctor… I believe your doctor should be willing to answer and effectively explain any questions you have regarding your medical treatment and all prescribed medications . So I sincerely hope you work up the courage by your next visit💕
I did it with you, have had it waiting for a tutorial to use I was so scared forgot to take it with me to my last doctors appointment but thanks a whole lot for this tutorial. Please share what you eat if you haven’t already and I will check your site incase you have
Hi, thank you for your comment. I am so happy you were able to start your Wegovy journey and I hope the injections continue to go well for you. Yes, I’ve posted some things I eat, I tend to sprinkle in meal ideas periodically.
Hi, you are so welcome! I had a lot of side effects when I first started the medication but I’ve been on Wegovy for over a year and I no longer have any side effects. My most common side effects were dry mouth, nausea, and low energy but with some planning and supplements I was able to manage the symptoms.
I'm going to try my arm tonight. 1.7 and 2.4 have not been working as well for me as the lower doses. Don't know if changing the injection site will help.
Hi👋🏽… yes absolutely, the nausea was present at the lower dosages but was really bad when starting the 1.7 and 2.4 mg doses. I was able to counteract the nausea by drinking peppermint tea, chewing gum and I also realized that on the days I didn’t drink enough water was also the days my nausea was at the worst. So make sure to drink plenty of water. Please try the foregoing and hopefully your nausea will subside. On the bright side… I have absolutely NO nausea now! So hang in there!!💕
@@Greater_Expectationsthank you so much!!! I needed to hear that this happens before I go crazy calling my dr for everything 😂😂 Also, did you feel it affected your eye sight at all? Since starting the upper dose I feel dizzy similar to when I had to get my eyes checked for prescription
@@Gris_ambz Hi, no I haven’t noticed any vision changes but my eyesight isn’t the best! I did experience feeling lightheaded but that was remedied by me adjusting my calories and staying hydrated. However, perhaps you should consult with your physician just in case just to be cautious. There have been quite a few people who have reported strange symptoms.
Yes, I had plenty of side effects. Headache, dry mouth, tiredness, nausea, constipation… but many people don’t experience any of these side effects. So my experience may not be yours. However, I’m still on the highest dosage and now I have no side effects. My body has completely adjusted to the medication.
I injected my first dose today into my stomach, I didn't see any leakage but I couldn't feel anything. There was a little ring around the injection site. I'm a little concerned that I didn't do it right. How do I know if I did it wrong?
Hi, if there is no liquid left in the injection pen then you know it entered into your body especially if there was no leakage and you saw there was liquid prior to the injection. I always have a little ring left on my skin on injection day but it disappears after a while. As a side note always inspect your pen prior to injection to make sure it has liquid and that the fluid is not cloudy. I hope this helps!!
Hi 👋🏽 I’m interested to know if you’ll feel more appetite suppression as the week goes on or will your appetite remain the same. I also like to inject the medication in my thigh.
@@Greater_Expectations I hope I did it right. My arm feels sore. I did it right under the deltoid. I called my doctor’s office and nurse said I did. It’s a little painful. Did you ever have pain after it? I’ve been doing my stomach for the past 3 months. Next week’s injection will be 1.7 mg.
@ChronicallyJenny Yes, I felt a little pain and it usually subsides. I remember the first few times I injected in my arm it hurt but I think now I’ve just gotten use to it.
Yes, I was nauseous but drinking plenty of water, chewing gum, and drinking peppermint tea really helps combat nausea. The nausea lasted quite a bit throughout my journey but eventually subsided.
@@AshleyTravis Thank you for your comment, I was a little nervous too but mostly excited. Don’t worry… you may not have any symptoms at all and if you do perhaps they’ll be mild especially if you’re starting at the lowest dose. I’m excited for you to start your journey! Please keep me posted on your progress 💕
@@Greater_Expectations thank you for responding I’m sitting here with the alcohol and the pen and I’m afraid! Does the shot hurt or is it like a prick and then done?
Ummm I think it depends on where you inject yourself. The thigh isn’t bad… nor is the back of the upper arm. It’s a tiny prick and it doesn’t hurt that much but if you do have pain… it won’t last very long. Also once you get use to injecting yourself, it’ll be your new normal… it’s not bad at all! Honestly, I’ve felt much worse 💉🤗
@@Greater_Expectations thank you! I did it!! I did it! I injected into the stomach and followed your video! No pain at all! I’ll be coming back to check in! Thanks for the informative video! It really helped!!
@vmc419 Yayyyyy!!! You conquered your fears and now your journey with Wegovy begins!! I’m so proud of you!! Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey, you have truly made my day!! I wish you much success!!💕🥰
Hi, I had less side effects in my thigh so it was a preferred injection site for some time. But my doctor’s suggestion was to try all recommended injection sites (upper arm, stomach, thigh) each week to see which site your body responds best to.
@@Greater_Expectations got it.. thank you. I think imma start with thigh.. I'm gonna go watch your injection in the thigh video to do mine.. thank you sooo much. I have watch alot of videos on wegovy but your videos are very informative and you respond very quick. Thank you soo much
@@mixedangel200 It’s ok, no worries… you’ll get better with injecting the medication each week. You were probably just a little nervous… it happens. The important thing is that you conquered your fear and you’ve officially started your Wegovy journey! I’m so proud of you!!💕
@lf9341 Yes, for me the .25 mg dose provided some appetite suppression but it wasn’t very strong. I did lose some weight at the lower doses but the real magic began to happen once I reached 1.7 mgs.
@lf9341 Yes I sure did have constipation early on. But I stay hydrated and take fiber supplements and so these days constipation is very rare. Metamucil is a great fiber supplement. I haven’t experienced any hair loss but I do take Natures Bounty hair,skin, and nail gummies with collagen.
Yes when you initially push the pen firmly against your skin you’ll hear that first click, then the yellow pane will begin to move and then you’ll hear that second click.
Yayyy mission accomplished!! I just wanted people to see that it’s not so bad… I thought if it was a little light hearted then people would feel more comfortable injecting themselves 🤗 Thank you for your comment!!
Girl I did it with you 😂, I was so scared this being my first time but it actually was very easy and no pain at all… thank you for doing this straight forward video. ❤
2month Update:
So i’m now at 1ml for wegovy. In total I’ve lost about 17lb in two months. The .5ml didn’t do much the first two weeks but the 1ml is much more effective.

Ohhh… thank you, I wanted the video to be short yet informative. A huge congratulations on starting your Wegovy journey!! I’m so happy for you!! 🎊💕🎉
So now that you’ve been on the medication for a while, how do you feel? I’m about to start mine today did you get nausea?

@@doloresgil1328 I put an update in my original comment, how’s wegovy working for you?
My 1st time today! Thank you. I think I pressed too hard...LOL But, I wanted to make sure it got through my layers of chub. 😅
It’s me again 😂😂 I prefer your video above others because of your voice. lol It is so soothing! Here we go, injection time!!! 😅😅
Awwww thank you, I will be updating this video really soon. I appreciate your comment!! 🤗

@alaric87357 thank you for your question, I appreciate you allowing me to offer you some help💕
I’m in 3rd month, I’ve always done my stomach. But I watched you and did my arm just now.
Hi 👋🏽 I’m interested to know if you’ll feel more appetite suppression as the week goes on or will your appetite remain the same. I also like to inject the medication in my thigh.
@@Greater_Expectations I hope I did it right. My arm feels sore. I did it right under the deltoid. I called my doctor’s office and nurse said I did. It’s a little painful. Did you ever have pain after it?
I’ve been doing my stomach for the past 3 months. Next week’s injection will be 1.7 mg.
@ChronicallyJenny Yes, I felt a little pain and it usually subsides. I remember the first few times I injected in my arm it hurt but I think now I’ve just gotten use to it.
@@Greater_Expectations I woke up not too long ago, and now it’s almost gone.
@ChronicallyJenny That’s great news! Perhaps your arm is just a more sensitive area. I’m happy you’re feeling less pain❤️🩹
Did you get nausea when you first started wegovi I’m going to start my injections today. A little nervous I’m not gonna lie.
Yes, I was nauseous but drinking plenty of water, chewing gum, and drinking peppermint tea really helps combat nausea. The nausea lasted quite a bit throughout my journey but eventually subsided.
Thanks for sharing! I start tomorrow so im a bit nervous!
@@AshleyTravis Thank you for your comment, I was a little nervous too but mostly excited. Don’t worry… you may not have any symptoms at all and if you do perhaps they’ll be mild especially if you’re starting at the lowest dose. I’m excited for you to start your journey! Please keep me posted on your progress 💕
Do you wait till it’s at room temperature?
Hi there, yes I typically allow my pen to set out for about 30 minutes. I’ve never injected the medication cold.
@@Greater_Expectations excellent 👍🏻 I assumed that,,,, thank you so much for the reply and hope everything is going GRRRRREAT for you!!! 👋🏻👋🏻
@@rossginn1171 You are very welcome and I hope everything goes great for you as well!!
Kia… I Got The Ewegoy……
I’m going to start on Monday so IF OF I have side effects I can be home
Hi, I hope it went well for you!!
Starting today! I’m nervous but you make it look simple!
It’s sooooo simple!! You got this!!
@@Greater_Expectations thank you for responding I’m sitting here with the alcohol and the pen and I’m afraid! Does the shot hurt or is it like a prick and then done?
Ummm I think it depends on where you inject yourself. The thigh isn’t bad… nor is the back of the upper arm. It’s a tiny prick and it doesn’t hurt that much but if you do have pain… it won’t last very long. Also once you get use to injecting yourself, it’ll be your new normal… it’s not bad at all! Honestly, I’ve felt much worse 💉🤗
@@Greater_Expectations thank you! I did it!! I did it! I injected into the stomach and followed your video! No pain at all! I’ll be coming back to check in! Thanks for the informative video! It really helped!!
@vmc419 Yayyyyy!!! You conquered your fears and now your journey with Wegovy begins!! I’m so proud of you!! Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey, you have truly made my day!! I wish you much success!!💕🥰

First timer today. Thank you so much!
Congratulations on starting your journey!! You got this!!!
Great demonstration!
Thank you kindly!💕
Thanks im doing mine tomorrow
Wonderful, I hope your injection experience goes well!
Hi Kia I'm gonna inject tonight just seeing this video. I thought you inject in Your thigh? Which one is easier or better.
Hi, I had less side effects in my thigh so it was a preferred injection site for some time. But my doctor’s suggestion was to try all recommended injection sites (upper arm, stomach, thigh) each week to see which site your body responds best to.
@@Greater_Expectations got it.. thank you. I think imma start with thigh.. I'm gonna go watch your injection in the thigh video to do mine.. thank you sooo much. I have watch alot of videos on wegovy but your videos are very informative and you respond very quick. Thank you soo much
I just did it and it leaked 😔
I let go of my thigh during injection and I heard 2nd click when I let go. I held the pen on there for count of 12.
@@mixedangel200 It’s ok, no worries… you’ll get better with injecting the medication each week. You were probably just a little nervous… it happens. The important thing is that you conquered your fear and you’ve officially started your Wegovy journey! I’m so proud of you!!💕
@@Greater_Expectations thank you. You are a big help.
Thank you!! You made it easy for me!!
You are very welcome!!🙌🏽
I start tomorrow.
I hope your first week on Wegovy went well!!
I start mine today. Thank you!! ❤
You are welcome and congratulations, I hope you have a good experience with Wegovy!!
How is it? Does the first dose worK?
@lf9341 Yes, for me the .25 mg dose provided some appetite suppression but it wasn’t very strong. I did lose some weight at the lower doses but the real magic began to happen once I reached 1.7 mgs.
@@Greater_Expectations Oh! Any constipation? My friend on the highest dose lost 30 lbs. But had hair loss..:(
@lf9341 Yes I sure did have constipation early on. But I stay hydrated and take fiber supplements and so these days constipation is very rare. Metamucil is a great fiber supplement. I haven’t experienced any hair loss but I do take Natures Bounty hair,skin, and nail gummies with collagen.
I only got 1 click, but I got the yellow pane.
Yes when you initially push the pen firmly against your skin you’ll hear that first click, then the yellow pane will begin to move and then you’ll hear that second click.
Thank for your instructions, I was able to do it ☝️

Thanks for the straightforward and fun video. Definitely made me feel less nervous to start it 🥹
Yayyy mission accomplished!! I just wanted people to see that it’s not so bad… I thought if it was a little light hearted then people would feel more comfortable injecting themselves 🤗 Thank you for your comment!!
