1.0 mg/0.5 mL.
Last Weight: 238.0 pounds
Down 31 pounds (11.5%)

Officially 30 pounds down. Officially in the 230s. I took my second 1.0 dose and picked up my 1.7 doses today. Those will start at the end of September. In the meantime, I am adjusting really well to 1.0. No nausea. Just a little discomfort. And it’s feeling easier to stay near my calorie goal now that I’ve been doing this for about 70 days.

I do still get irritable the day of the dose and maybe the next day. But the perks of the weight loss are starting to show. I have been playing a lot more with the kids. I have been able to do a lot of cleaning up around the house without it killing me. And I’ve gone on some fun adventures with the boys. This is what I wanted—the ability to live longer to watch my kids grow up and not be so out of shape that I can’t play with them.

I talked with my doctor briefly today and he said something that spooked me. He talked about getting into the right routines so that I don’t gain the weight back when I come off the medication. I don’t think I realized how much I had grown ok with the idea of being on it permanently. I would honestly prefer it. My brain doesn’t communicate hunger appropriately and this corrects that. He’s okay leaving me on meds with no end date for my anxiety. Why not Wegovy? It doesn’t have any long term issues so it shouldn’t be an issue.
