A mum from Oxford, Kennidee Cox, has discovered some surprising side effects after switching her weight-loss jabs. Having originally started her journey with Mounjaro, Kennidee switched to Wegovy due to skyrocketing prices and has since found her tastes have transformed. Once a lover of spaghetti bolognese and burgers, she now can’t quite stomach them.
In just over a year, Kennidee has dropped over five stone, but with her switch to Wegovy six weeks ago, certain foods are off the menu. “Whenever I eat a beef burger – one of my favourites – I get a dodgy tummy,” she shares. Her experience isn’t unique; friends who’ve had gastric bands and are now on Wegovy have been advised to steer clear of beef due to its lengthy digestion process.
Despite missing some of her former favourite dishes like curry, Kennidee embraces the change. The jab’s benefits aren’t just weight-related. She happily reports improvements in her inflammation and hormones. Plus, at £135 a month, she’s saving a bit compared to Mounjaro.
Though Kennidee hasn’t seen dramatic results yet on Wegovy, she’s sticking with it. Her appetite for junk food has been replaced by a desire for home-cooked meals. She reckons Wegovy is here to stay in her routine, sharing, “Because of the health benefits I think I’ll be on [GLP-1 jabs] for the long-term.”
Kennidee also highlights the perks of Wegovy’s longer-lasting effects and its user-friendly pen design, which only needs a click of a button. Supported by her husband and family, she continues to share her journey and tips with fans on TikTok.
