[Discussion] we are measuring Wegovy at the wrong time and calling it noise
we are measuring Wegovy at the wrong time and calling it noise. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Kept a log from week one and the single most useful column turned out to be waist, not weight. nausea made the first fortnight rough at each step up, then flattened out. Predictable…
STEP-1 averaged just under 15% at 68 weeks, so a 10% year is not a failure
The escalation schedule in the trials existed to keep people on the drug. It is a tolerability ramp, and it is why the label reads the way it does.
What did week 5 look like compared with this one? The month either side is the useful comparison.
First month I lost almost nothing and nearly quit. Month two and three were where it all happened.
nausea that arrives on day two and fades by day four is the standard shape
My stall was eleven weeks. Eleven. Then it moved again without me changing anything at all.
the first four weeks are a tolerance check, not a weight-loss phase
do not chase somebody else’s titration schedule, they are not you
Did protein intake change in the same window?
