I only started last Saturday so I am almost loath to make any comment at such an early stage but I could almost cry at how differently I feel around food and generally. I have never not felt hungry before. I haven't weighed myself yet but, regardless of the weight I lose, to feel this different is worth it.
That’s awesome. I’m week 12 now and still feel exactly the same. I’d never believe anyone before it that how you feel could be even better than the weight loss but it is!
Great video series, Emma! I’ve been on Wegovy since November 2022 and have lost about 55 pounds - - and maintained! Struggled with weight my whole life and it’s the first time that I feel as if this is a sustainable solution for me. I’ve always been pretty consistent with exercise, but this is really giving me the boost I needed! In the US, I’m required to check in with my GP quarterly (which I love) to make certain my insurance covers the cost ($1400/month). You look fab 😘
That’s awesome! And must have taken a lot of work 👏🏻. It’s reassuring hearing how many of our stories are similar with previous struggles. And it’s lovely to hear that you are feeling it’s sustainable- I hope I can replicate your success. 🥰
I can’t thank you enough for your advice, I have been searching for genuine NHS guidance that unfortunately I haven’t been able to get from my GP. I am clinically obese and am making the leap to Monjaro. I have lost a stone this last year by making small changes which I intend to carry on with. Thank you so so much ❤
That’s great! - getting it going and staying in the right direction is hard. GPs are a mixed bag. Some will be awesome. Some are rubbish. And there’s everything in between. If you have an unsupportive one- change. Obesity is a health issue and it needs the same support as anything else. If you’re not getting the help you need or they’re not directing you to where you can find it (obviously not all GPs will be versed in everything) just know that it’s their problem not yours and someone else would love to help you
Thank you for all your tips. I’ve stayed on 2.5 dose and don’t feel the need to go up a dose. I’m also 5ft 2 and wondered about dose compared to taller and heavier people. My provider has asked why I haven’t increased but I don’t feel the need as I’m losing consistently without any side effects.
With our bodies there is never one size that fits all… that’s why every medication has a side effects list that’s as long as your arm- we all react differently to the same things. And with medications- less can often be more (though again not always) so why change something that’s working
Enjoying your videos even though I'm not on a GLP-1. I am thinking about it as a possibility in 2025. In a previous video, you mentioned that you had some thoughts around ADHD and weight management. I am not diagnosed with ADHD, but it definitely runs in my family, and I suspect I am mildly ADHD (inattentive type), plus mildly anxiety-prone. As I am in a period of reflection at this time (taking a break from endless, decades long cycles of dieting and regain), I am wondering about a possible connection and would be very interested in your thoughts!
Oh I hope you feel better soon- it’s a huge adjustment. Good on you for having the confidence to go for it. I hope it works well. Give yourself time xxx have you come across a creator called katnipp who makes stationery- she had bariatric surgery and is inspiring to watch
A friend of mine had gastric bypass last January. It was tricky initially but its been great for her. She isn't having to inject herself weekly. Good luck.
I have had gastric bypass for almost 15 years now . I lost 41 kgs . Gained few kg during that time but I manage to loose them immediately while when it was before the gastric bypass I kept going back and forth struggling to loose 5 kg then gain them back! You will get used to it just give yourself sometime.

Exactly how I feel. Im on week 9, lost 19lbs. Im happy with that rate of weight loss. I feel it's the right way for me. Good luck.

Absolutely! Will definitely go into this more.
I'm seeing a lot of success videos on weight loss injections I wish I'd took this path im 4 week post gastric bypass and hating every minute of it 😭
