Wegovy Diary – Day Six
January 30th, 2026
Almost a week after the first injection. I’ve definitely felt my appetite return over the course of the week, but it’s still not to the point of where it was before. In the first couple of days, I wasn’t really thinking about food at all, I knew I had to eat, and ate just fine when I chose to do so. Now, I’m starting to think about food again though. Thinking about snacking. I’m able to avoid doing it, without any issue, but the thought is there again.
I’ve said it before, but I don’t know if it’s actually something that’s changed within my brain or if it’s just more of a placebo type effect, where I’ve paid money for this injection, I shouldn’t ruin it by eating. I’ve been calorie counting and have had a few hundred calories, at least, spare each day, along with drinking around two litres of water – how people do the water thing, I’m not sure, I’ve never pee’d so much in my life.
It’s injection day again tomorrow, so it’ll be interesting to see if the effects that have waned, kick in again at the start of the second week.
No real weight change since last entry.
Wegovy Diary – Day Four
January 28th, 2026
The ‘full’ feeling of the first couple of days has gone, I’m feeling hungry, but not to the extent where I feel like I have to eat right now or I’ll starve, more in a looking forward to dinner time kind of way.
I’ve had absolutely no cravings for anything sweet whatsoever since the first injection, that’s not to say I haven’t had anything sweet – I’ve had a small Cadbury Brunch bar, which had some chocolate on it. I bought a box to have as a snack during the day, but to be honest, like, it was fine… but I don’t know how often I’ll be having them.
Not craving things is huge for me though and it’s crazy that just one injection has shut off that part of my brain.
I’ve been weighing myself every day, not because I expect changes every day, just to have a true record of whatever weight losses or gains I may have. My scales are linked to an app on my phone, so it automatically generates a trend graph and stuff.
Starting weight stats:
Weight: 115.7kg (18.21st, 255lbs)
BMI: 35.7
Current weight stats:
Weight: 114.3kg (17.99st, 251.9lbs)
BMI: 35.3
Wegovy Diary – Day Two
January 26th, 2026
I’ve been feeling pretty tired all day, I don’t know if that’s an active side effect of the medication or just who I am. The ‘food noise’ continues to be gone. I had some breakfast this morning of beans and toast, and a meal tonight with my Mum – Haggis for Burns Night. Between times, though admittedly, I was asleep for some of it, I haven’t felt any cravings for food, or more importantly, sugar.
I normally keep a number of sweet treats in the flat, ready to binge at any moment. But I haven’t felt the desire to have anything. Despite the fact that from where I am right now, I can see a full pack of chocolate digestives, something which I could easily devour a full pack of without thinking about normally.
Both meals today left me feeling full. Perhaps a little uncomfortably so. Not so much that I regret the food, but enough not to make me want to eat more at that time.
If the ‘food noise’ thing can stick around, I genuinely think that’d be enough for me to lose weight. My two issues with food, are that I eat too much, eating too fast so I don’t realise I’m full until after I’ve eaten too much and sweets between meals. Lots of them.
If I can eat less, because I feel full faster and cut the snacks. Then I should be on my way to good things.
Weight stats remain the same as yesterday, but I would have been extremely shocked to see any difference in 24 hours.
Wegovy Diary – Day One
January 24th, 2026
I have been considering it for a while, but I finally went ahead and ordered some weight loss drugs. I don’t know if they’ll work for me, but I have to do something and my main downfall with exercise is that I ruin any work I do by eating. And I can’t stop eating. Both in terms of an obvious need to stay alive, but in terms of unhealthy relationships with food. Bored? Eat. Sad? Eat. And I’m both those things quite a lot, it turns out.
I’m hoping that with the drug (Wegovy) it’ll do it’s reported thing of turning off the food noise and make me think about eating less.
The parcel arrived on Tuesday, but I decided I was going to wait until the weekend to take the first dose, in case there were any major side effects that hit me. Friday came and went and I didn’t take it, but today, Saturday, I decided to bite the bullet.
I’ve never been someone who is scared of needles. Donating blood, I’d actively watch them slide the needle in, and promptly cover it with a piece of gauze
“What’s the gauze for?” I asked, once.
“It’s so you don’t see the needle” came the reply
“The needle I just watched you insert?”
“Yes.”
All that to say, when it came to injecting myself with the Wegovy… I actually had to psych myself up for it, despite the fact that the needle on the pen is fucking miniscule. I did it though. The dose has been dosed. My *journey* has begun…
I’m planning on making a video documenting what will hopefully be some not insignificant weight loss and, I guess, also documenting it here.
My current weight stats are as follows:
Weight: 115.7kg (18.21st, 255lbs)
BMI: 35.7
Ideally, I’d like to get down to around 90kg (14st, 198lbs -ish) — It feels doable. I am obviously going try and exercise more than I currently do, my plans is mostly walking more. I have seen good results on the treadmill before, but again, that was ruined by pauses in the routine and consumption of food.
January 25th, 2026
It’s currently 2am, I went to sleep shortly after taking the dose, which may have resulted in my skipping any immediate side effects, or maybe I just didn’t get any yet, I don’t know. But I feel fine. A little gassier than usual, perhaps, but that could just be me. Certainly no nausea, which is the thing I was least looking forward to.
Also, at the moment, the “food noise” does appear to have gone? It could just be a placebo effect, of knowing it can go, so I’m willing it into existence, but normally about now, I’d be figuring out what snacks I had for the night and I’m not feeling that need at the moment, so that’s pretty cool, here’s hoping it continues.
