Well, well, hello Wegovy. I see you now.
Warning: if you’re sensitive to nausea / vomiting, do not read this story.
Today I had a pretty crazy experience. I was going to get a little face tune up at my aesthetician’s office. As she prepared my treatment, I noticed I was feeling a little nauseous.
She went and got me some sour candies they use to help clients with nausea, which helped a little and we proceeded with the treatment.
After about 5 minutes I noticed I was not well. I felt the blood leave my face and my aesthetician saw it. She immediately stopped and asked if I was okay.
I was not.
She started my laying me back a bit but that did not help. I sat up and put my legs over the side of the chair. But the nausea just kept getting stronger. And I felt so hot. I knew I needed to stand.
By this time everyone in the office was in my room taking care of me. They were getting ice and watching to make sure I didn’t fall.
I was standing next to the chair, bent over it with my hands on the seat. It didn’t take too long in that position to get things moving.
Before I could say that I was going to be sick, someone handed me a trash can and I immediately was throwing up.
I’ll spare you the details, but I can confirm that my stomach still had breakfast in it, six hours later. I would say that Wegovy is working as expected.
Why did this happen?
I think a few things led to this.
- I drank a greens drink quickly right before going to my appointment
- The room I was in was very hot
- I was shallow breathing right before getting sick
- I’m new to Wegovy (😛 obviously)
It’s hard to say exactly what happened, but I’ll compare this to the next time and start identifying a pattern eventually.
Anything else?
The only other feelings I noticed today were:
- a continued ability to be in control of my eating, and
- some sleepiness (but I didn’t sleep well last night).
And that’s it for today. I think it’s enough though.
What about Wegovy
