⭐ One Month on the Wegovy GLP1 Pill: What I’ve Learned (Now Entering the 4 mg Era)

 ⭐ One Month on the Wegovy Pill: What I’ve Learned (Now Entering the 4 mg Era)

I’ve officially survived one full month on the Wegovy GLP‑1 pill — starting at 1.5 mg and now stepping into the big leagues with 4 mg. And let me tell you: this journey has been equal parts science experiment, lifestyle makeover, and spiritual awakening in the grocery store beverage aisle.

Here’s what I’ve learned so far — the expected, the unexpected, and the “nobody warned me about that” moments.

🌡️ Expected Weight Loss (a.k.a. The Scale Finally Behaving)

So far, I've maintained the 8 pound weight loss !

The appetite shift is real. Not dramatic, not overnight, but steady.

Food noise? Lower.

Portions? Smaller.

My fridge? Confused.

The 4 mg dose is where many people notice another bump in progress, so I’m buckling up.

😳 Unexpected Side Effects (Surprise!)

Let’s talk about the things that caught me off guard:

• The “I’m full after three bites” phenomenon

• Random waves of nausea that show up like uninvited guests

• Digestive slow‑downs that make you rethink every food choice

• Burps that could narrate their own documentary

Nothing dramatic — just enough to remind me this medication is doing something.

💧 Hydration: My New Religion

I don’t go anywhere without Liquid I.V.

I keep packets in my purse, my car, my kitchen drawer, and probably under a couch cushion somewhere.

Electrolytes = survival.

Water alone wasn’t cutting it.

🥩 Protein: The Main Character

If I don’t prioritize protein, I feel it.

Energy dips.

Hunger gets weird.

My body basically says, “Ma’am, we talked about this.”

So now it’s protein first, carbs second, chaos never.

🥤 The Soda Breakup

I gave up sodas.

Cold turkey.

Carbonation and GLP‑1s do not get along — and my stomach made that very clear.

Poppi was cute for a minute, but even that had to go.

My gut said “no ma’am,” and I listened.

📚 Lessons Learned (So Far)

• Eat slow. Your stomach is on a delay.

• Hydrate like you’re training for a desert marathon.

• Keep protein ready to go — snacks, shakes, whatever works.

• Don’t trust carbonation.

• Small meals win.

• And most importantly: listen to your body, not the clock.

➡️ What I’m Looking Forward To on 4 mg

• A quieter appetite

• A little more momentum on the scale

• More consistent energy

• Learning how my body adjusts to the new dose

• And continuing to build habits that actually feel sustainable

This isn’t a sprint — it’s a slow, steady, Cajun‑flavored marathon.
