Symptom check-in.
One of the side effects that is hardest for me is slight fatigue. I also notice that my depression symptoms are slightly noticeable, but I always experience that when I’m tired.
I also should note that I have significantly cut back on my caffeine consumption.
And…. Eating fewer calories can lead to reduced energy. Even though I don’t feel like eating, it’s important that I try and get some extra in my belly.
My nausea was much more limited today which was a nice improvement.
The other thing I noticed was that I also didn’t have the urge to have more wine than necessary. I had a small glass at happy hour and another small glass at around 8. And that was it – no urges to have another glass!
My macros today.
So how much am I actually eating? I can openly admit that if starvation is your goal, you can accomplish that with this drug.
But that is NOT my goal.
I worked hard with a therapist to work through some of the issues I have with my body and diet. I learned that starvation is not the way.
So, when you see my macros, know that on Wegovy it took conscious effort to make sure I ate enough. But before Wegovy, it took conscious effort to make sure I wasn’t overeating. A complete inversion.
Today’s macros
Macros before Wegovy
I read in a few places not to eat fat, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem for me if I stick to healthier fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts, and MCT oil.
So that’s a wrap for today… let’s see what happens tomorrow!
