An update on my Rybelsus journey:
Over the past month I’ve been on 3mg which isn’t supposed to be a properly effective dose but I’m in a FB group with people who have lost weight on it.
Good appetite suppression, I got full quickly but had a very active social calendar last month which made it hard. Didn’t drink enough water admittedly but by the end of the month I have definitely lost weight. Unfortunately it’s hard for me to tell how much because the medication slows the digestion of food so I’m always feeling quite full as I only have bowel movement once, max twice, a week. Because of that, I get on the scale but don’t always see the change. However my last empty weigh in was a good 4-5lbs off. I can feel it in my midsection and I can see it on myself so I’m pleased.
I had no side effects of the usual type unless I overate, then I would feel mildly queasy. However I did notice real exhaustion and fatigue in the last 2 weeks, so much so that I had to take a break for a few days and I do feel better now. I don’t know if that was Rybelsus or something else but I’m prepared to continue and my 7mg is about to be dispatched. I’ll have to power through if the fatigue continues.
I’m hoping that I’ll make better progress on the 7mg, and that I can get into a good rhythm with meal planning and getting back into the gym. More than any thing I appreciate the fact that I don’t feel the need to eat around the clock and I can just eat like a normal person. That said, I still have eyes bigger than my stomach: I will still go to a restaurant and order everything on the menu but now I just couldn’t finish it all.
. Just increased my dose more lol
