Refill gap starting today, how do you bridge it?

Down 21 lbs since starting and I just realized my next refill won't arrive until next week, so I'm staring down a several-day gap. For those of you who've hit a stretch without your meds, did you notice hunger or cravings creeping back, and how did you get through it? Any food strategies or mindset tricks that made the wait easier would be really appreciated.

I had a five day gap last month and the hunger hit me harder on day three than day one

My gap hit on day 4 and the appetite came back like a switch flipped, but it was nowhere near pre-med levels. I just kept meals boring and protein forward and treated it as a few normal days rather than a crisis

Did the gap hit your appetite on day one or did it take a few days to build? My last stretch was quiet for the first couple days and then got loud.

My last gap was four days and the appetite came back mostly at night, so I moved dinner later and kept the kitchen closed after that. The first two days were honestly fine, it was the tail end that got sneaky

My gap hit on day five and the appetite came back way louder than I expected, so I just kept my portions the same as always and let it ride. The routine did more for me than any willpower

Did you notice the food noise ramping up at a specific time of day? My last gap hit hardest in the late afternoon, which is normally when I'd be prepping dinner anyway.

My gap was five days and the cravings didn't really hit until the second half, so the first couple days felt almost normal. The thing that caught me off guard was how much harder it was to stop eating once I started, portion control went out the window more than actual hunger.

My gap was five days and the food noise came back loudest in the evening, so I started eating dinner later than usual to shorten that stretch before bed. Keeping the pantry stocked with stuff I actually had to cook instead of grab helped too

My last gap landed on a work trip so I had zero control over what was around me, and the food noise came back loudest at night in the hotel. What helped was keeping the room stocked so I never had to decide anything hungry.

Day two was the worst for me too, and the evenings were the real test. I started having a big glass of water and a plate of cucumber slices ready before the craving window hit, which kept me out of the pantry

How did the first morning off it feel compared to a normal day? I'm bracing for my own gap in a couple weeks and mornings are the part I'm least sure about.

How many days is the gap? Mine was five and the first two were the only rough ones, by day three I felt weirdly normal again.

My gap week was mostly fine until day three, then the evenings got noisy again. Did the hunger hit you right away or was it a slow build?

Evenings are my danger window too. I moved dinner later and kept celery and hummus prepped so there was zero effort involved when the noise hit.

How did the first day back on it feel compared to what you expected? I built my gap up into this huge thing and it was honestly mild

The food noise was the part I braced for too, but what actually got me was the evening habit of reaching for something out of boredom. I only had a couple days to wait so I just went to bed earlier those nights

My last gap was four days and the only thing that really hit me was the food noise coming back around the evening. I just kept a bag of frozen edamame around for those hours and it was more about having something to do with my hands than actual hunger.

A four day gap hit me harder in my head than my stomach, the first two days were fine and the noise only crept in around day three.

Protein at every meal got me through a five day gap last month
