Wegovy1.7mgWeek 26

Is muscle retention worse for anyone on dose week?

I know everyone is different, but I am trying to tell if this is a normal adjustment thing. I am week 26 on Wegovy 1.7mg, currently around 271 lb, and the thing bugging me is muscle retention. I had one good week and then this showed up, so now I am second guessing the routine. My main tags right now would be plateau, muscle retention, hair shedding. I am trying to keep protein and water steady, but I do not know if I should change timing or just give this week some space. Was there one habit that made the biggest difference?

I am glad you posted this. I would message your prescriber if it feels sharp, severe, or keeps getting worse. I am week 11 on Wegovy 1.7mg, so my timing may be different. Please update us if you figure out the pattern.

That part is so real. I had better luck when I stopped trying to eat one normal-sized meal. I am week 3 on Mounjaro 2.5mg, so my timing may be different. My main issue has been nausea. Hope it settles down soon.
