Good morning! I am about to head in and take my very first dose, and I am nervous! I have never really taken meds other than pain and some depression meds. I feel hopeful and understand there is a long road but here we go!

If anyone has information, advise or ideas, I am open to hearing you. Wishing you all the best and a healthy new year!

    So how’s your journey going so far? I too was very nervous in the beginning. I started 10/23/24 and as of today I’ve lost 25 pounds.
    My biggest problem is eating enough! Especially with all the water I’m supposed to drink to prevent kidney issues!!!
    I’ve had only one side effect, worsening constipation. I’ve always had an issue with constipation but it’s worse now. I take fiber supplements everyday and once or twice a week I drink “smooth move” tea to help things along.
    MFP helps me keep track of my macro’s. I focus a lot on protein and cholesterol and fiber.
    Good luck on your journey and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    I started semiglutide at the end of August, I haven't had any issues. I focus on Protein/Fiber/Water in that order. I have lost over 33 lbs, I still have about 60 more to go.
    I did get nervous at one point when my throat felt like it was swollen, I upped my water and problem solved.

    How are you doing with it? Are you able to eat?
