WEGOVY | First 8 Weeks, Side Effects, Did I Lose Any Weight?!?

[@liltasha03]

14 POUNDS IS GREAT! Don't down play that amount. Meal prep it will help you. I'm on Mounjaro and I am down 36 pounds in 4 months. I am a type 2 diabetic. We can't compare ourselves to others we just got to push forward. I am posting my journey on tik tok. I am going to follow you and you got this!

[@Jalishavee]

Amazing!! Slow and steady wind the race! I will find you tiktok!

[@araceliapritchard168]

[@davidmarinace5843]

Well saif

[@lena.bena_]

14 pounds in 7 1/2 weeks is good! I lost the same in 5 weeks. I started Wegovy February 13, my starting weight was 283 and I’m now 232. Exercising everyday, intermittent fasting and being on a low carb diet is what makes me lose the weight. Good luck on your journey 💪🏽

[@AlieshiaTV]

Yo I’m doing low carb & intermittent too the nutrition said I shouldn’t but it’s lowkey working for me

[@AlieshiaTV]

Congrats on 50 pounds!

[@lena.bena_]

⁠@@AlieshiaTVThank you, I have a nutritionist too and she actually said to meal prep along with intermittent fasting. I don’t meal prep but I do fast. I do give myself a treat day once a month.

[@AlieshiaTV]

@@lena.bena_ oh okay yeah I don’t meal prep .. I need a new nutritionist

[@lena.bena_]

@@AlieshiaTV had to get a new nutritionist also, and she’s very strict on what I should eat. I also suffer from constipation I’m like you, I can go a week without a bm.

[@78cheerio]

Wow! What good energy! Right off the bat.

[@angelapritchard6640]

Congratulations! That’s a gorgeous blouse! I just took my fist shot of Wegovy tonight!

[@sundaydollar8422]

Try magnesium, prune juice, warm apple juice you can also mix fiber in apple juice or orange juice to help you poop. If you don’t eat there will be nothing to poop out.

[@kimmieb9435]

Prunes do the trick for me. I suggest incorporating prunes on a daily basis. You’ll have to figure out what works best but you could start with 4/5 in the morning and see how that works for you.

[@kimberhering171]

You are absolutely adorable. One of the better videos I have seen online. Thank you for sharing🎉

[@tammyrockhold6111]

I’m taking Ozempic for diabetes and became extremely constipated!! I found that MIRALAX works so much better than laxatives. I do have to use 2 of the dosage capfuls 2 times a day to get me started. Now I’m using 1 capful twice a day. And feel so much better being able to have BM everyday. Good luck

[@marysweeting8849]

Hi I was recently prescribed Ozempic for diabetes and I was told it can also help with weight-loss have you experienced any of this

[@marcarpackin2421]

Same here!! I use Miralax every day. A gallon of water a day. My cramps the first week were brutal. I almost gave up. But now in week 3 more water, less food. Way better.

[@Jalishavee]

yes! Im working on a gallon a water day now!

[@VernCrisler]

Hi Jalisha. Amy Denae's vlog did a survey of what was the best for constipation. The top recommendation was MiraLax. You can use it every 3 or 4 days, or however often you need it, and it does work. Also, Tylenol is best for headaches. FYI, Mounjaro for weight loss will probably be covered by insurance sometime this year after FDA approval. Congratulations on your weight loss Jalisha! 14 pounds is a healthy result.

[@Jalishavee]

Thank you!

[@YolandaDHall]

Two words . . . Prune Juice!! It works in sbout an hour!

[@jonettaboyd3139]

Drink Smooth move tea 🍵 it's sold in your grocery store.

[@aerrik5900]

@@jonettaboyd3139‼️‼️

[@famuns]

The fiber may be making you more constipated depending on how much you are taking because it promotes bulking. Make sure you are getting in enough water. That helps soften the stool and if you are not hydrated enough, the stool may be too hard to move. Also look for other things in your diet that may contribute to constipation like caffine (can cause dehydration in large amounts). I encourage you to commit to some walking even if you start small and work your way up. Mobility helps with GI motility.

[@Jalishavee]

Thank you!! I am def drinking more water now. Coffee is a big issue for me, I’m trying to let it go! also working out my priority now so hopefully combined I will see some improvement.

[@katecampbell3636]

Good for you🎉 I’m just starting my journey. Keep going girl and congrats. Every pounds counts. Chin up and rock it!

[@ZebraLezer14]

Hey girl heeeyy!! Omg so I just took my first wegovy injection today and found your video! I said let me click on it bc her name is Jalisha and my name is Jalisa 💀 then you said you’re from Memphis! Me too 🤣 and I turn 30 in a few weeks!! What a coincidence!!! Soooo I’m super duper excited to be following you on your journey and wish you all the best! Congrats on your weight loss so far!! You’re killing it! Let’s get fine giiiirl 🎉

[@mikspoonks]

I'm a type 2 Diabetic and I'm on Mounjaro 7 mg now and I have lost 42 lbs in 5 and a half months. 14 lbs loss is great! I had the big constipation ptoblem when I started 5 mg and it was very hard I took stool softeners and ACV to try help now its not so bad. I still go about 2 days without and I'm used 2 going every day. I do a lot of chores around the house and am more mobile now. I have started walking as much as I can to help with the loss.

[@Jalishavee]

Congratulations!! 42lbs is amazing! I’m hoping exercise helps!

[@dianelengyel568]

Mike,I am type2 diabetic also. Are you on insulin? I am ,and also on 7.5 mounjaro. Only lost 14 lbs in 7 months. Really discouraged.

[@mikspoonks]

@dianelengyel568 I'm only on Mounjaro and I have lost 70+ lbs and almost 2yrs. My A1c is 6.9 down from 11.2 and I'm now in 10 mg so I will see what happens but I have other health issues that I'm trying 2 deal with 😞 that are bringing me down.

[@jonvierre1]

All you need is magnesium. I use the Target UP brand. Drink your water.

[@Jalishavee]

Im going to buy some ASAP. Do you take it everyday?

[@jonvierre1]

@@Jalishavee 400 mg every night is what my doctor says. I take 500mg at whatever time of the day I remember. I drink about 80 oz of water per day.

[@caffeinatedslug5100]

This is what I do. I have Miralax, too, but seems the magnesium does the job. If you're not eating much, you won't have much coming out. I've never been constipated in my life until starting Wegovy. I never understood how crappy (no pun intended!) it could make you feel.

[@zetarose6104]

Remember though, There's different types of magnesium and I use magnesium citrate 400mg one time a day and that works

[@raviepretty]

God bless baby girl !! Keep up the great work ! 14lbs is amazing!!

[@carrie2024]

My doctor told me to take fiber gummies twice daily (yummy) and use Miralax in my sleepy-time tea at night when needed. It works like a charm to keep me regular!

[@kellym272010]

That's really good to lose 14 pounds!! Remember your doing it the healthy way but you will reach your goal!!! I just started mine this week so I'm excited!! Currently weight 175 so I'm hoping to get to 140! That's the goal

[@MsMikkiG11]

Keep up the good work. I have been fat all my life as well. 2024 is our year to get rid of these rolls. I also have FEP BCBS. I am waiting for Zepbound to get on the market and pray the insurance will cover it.

[@laverndb6083]

I want to congrat you on your weight loss. I too started ozempic june 1st i let all the junk food go all the soda pops all at the same time i walk two miles a day plus i work in healthcare where i do more walking as of july 14 th i lost 41 pounds and im barely two months in 😊👍so keep up the good work.

[@ejsulli20001]

you gotta stay consistent with your fiber and water intake... Your body will eventually come around and straighten itself out. Keep at it, youre doing great!

[@copyright-ur1sf]

All Bran always works for me for constipation. My biggest healthy swap that has stuck is Big Mac salad: Shredded lettuce, pickles, sesame seeds, a small amount of minced meat (just for the flavor), finely chopped onions and a dressing of sugar free ketchup and Greek yogurt. Haven’t had a craving for a burger since eating it!

[@liltasha03]

Yellow dragon fruit and make sure you eat green vegetables for the constipation

[@Jalishavee]

Ok I’ll def give the dragon fruit and more veggies a try because I am dying!! Lol

[@shazanakhan9807]

Ive lost 24.4lbs in 6wks, today is the start of wk 7, on 5mg MJ. I will take it in the late afternoon as my 5yo graduates reception 😊 well done.

[@janet-o6c]

Wow, I do the same thing with the over eating. I’ve told myself the same things. That’s crazy how alike we are. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one in this mind struggle I play with myself.

[@nakiadepina1629]

I'm still doing it on the medication so it's 100% in my head. I just went up to 20 units yesterday and I have a headache because I didn't eat anything until 1:30p. Hopfully this dose does the trick. 🤞🏾 This medication ain't cheap!

[@tvnursechick6951]

The best way to remedy the constipation is exercise, especially leg exercises. Going over a week with no bowel movement could be indicative of something else, requiring a scan called a KUB to diagnose. The food you are eating is stuck in there somewhere. Don't take constipation lightly.

[@keyme52525]

Once you stop eating so much take out and cook healthy things at home you'll see a huge difference cut out sugar drinks drink water and learn how to eat smaller portions when you do you'll train your stomach to eat less and avoid eating heavy foods at night God bless congratulations on your weight loss / journey

[@makofhearts]

Drinking a berry smoothie once a day helps me stay regular! ❤ thanks for sharing your story

[@ms.t.7319]

Get you a probiotic drink from the dairy section of the grocery store. Don't let that constipation create hemorrhoids. Drink more water, too. ❤

[@danaborrellie]

You should look into herbal life!!! Its a protein shake diet but it works and you incorporate it with healthy food as well!

[@alicehouston874]

Wow! You are on a positive trend. Keep up the good work. Try to take walks.

[@Jalishavee]

Thank you, I will

[@BWill341]

Incretin mimetics tend to lose muscle over fat. Take protein supplements and eat as little meat as possible to help with constipation. Removing meat and potatoes (my 2 favorite things) from my diet really helped with the constipation while on Ozempic. Also eating lots of beans and leafy greens.

[@derrickmartin9717]

14 LBS in 2 months is phenomenal with no working out. Get some strength training in and keep your protein up.

[@Jalishavee]

thank you!! thats my next step!

[@EmpressEnergy101]

Also, a side note is if this medication makes you have uncomfortable symptoms try Tizepatide. It does the same thing with less symptoms and is arguably better. I was on the other stuff for 8 months and was so miserable having symptoms often. So Tizepatide and others brands are out there to try. So far I feel great after a few days of my Tizepatide shot which did not happen with the other one 😂
