CagriSema experience – weight change and side effects after 8 weeks

Posted by restlessemma in Weight Loss & Metabolic - 0 points, 0 comments.

4mg once weekly. I’m tracking my weight each morning and logging HRV and sleep scores. 2kg, which feels steady rather than drastic.

Appetite noticeably lower, especially in the evenings, and I find myself eating smaller portions without feeling deprived. Side effects were mild nausea during the first two weeks and a bit of constipation that settled with extra fibre and water. Injection site reactions have been minimal – just a small red spot that fades in a day.

I’ve also checked fasting glucose and it’s down a touch, but I’m waiting on my next bloodwork before drawing any conclusions. Imo the dual action helps with satiety beyond what semaglutide alone gave me, though everyone’s response varies. If you’re thinking about trying it, definitely chat with a clinician and consider baseline labs.

Has anyone else noticed a similar pattern with cravings or energy levels? Would love to compare notes.
