Illustration: Your First Week on GLP-1 Injections: What to Expect and How to Track for Your Doctor
A comprehensive, evidence-based guide to common first-week sensations on approved GLP-1 therapies (Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Trulicity), with actionable tips for tracking your week and generating concise doctor reports.

Starting medical treatment with approved GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Trulicity) marks an intentional, proactive step toward metabolic health. Upon administering your first dose, it is entirely normal to ask: What should I expect over these first seven days?

GLP-1 receptor agonists emulate native satiety incretins. During week one, your physician begins you on an initial introductory titration dose to allow your digestive system to acclimate comfortably.

Common sensations include rapid early satiety, mild transient nausea, and shifts in gastric motility. Small frequent portions and steady hydration across the day provide natural comfort.

Logging your weekly progress in Nemati produces a single-page medical visit report (PDF and image) ready to share with your doctor at your next appointment.
