Rybelsus at 2.4mg - appetite crept back today

Been on Rybelsus at 2.4mg for a while now and down about 27 lbs, but today the food noise and hunger came roaring back out of nowhere. I ate lunch and was genuinely hungry an hour later, which hasn't happened in months. Has anyone else had a day like this on the same dose, or is this the start of it wearing off for good?

I've had single days like that around the same stretch of my own loss (down 21 lbs now) and it always bounced back by the next day. One hungry afternoon after months of quiet doesn't mean the med quit on you. Watch the pattern over a week before letting your head spiral.

I had one of those loud days deep into my own loss, down over 50 lbs now, and it scared me the same way. Turned out to be a single bad afternoon, quiet again by the next morning. Judge it by the week, not one hungry lunch.

#4

Same thing hit me around 25 lbs down on this stuff, one ravenous afternoon after months of nothing, then quiet again the next morning. I figured it was probably just a fluke day since the scale kept moving fine afterward. Give it a few days before deciding anything.

At 42 lbs down I've had maybe two of those afternoons where nothing touched the hunger, and both times the noise was gone by the next day. One off afternoon after months of steady suppression isn't a pattern yet. See what the rest of the week looks like before assuming the worst.

#6

Had a couple of those ravenous days around 30 lbs down and panicked the same way, then it settled right back the next morning. One loud afternoon after months of quiet is probably just your body being weird, not the med quitting. See how the next few days feel before writing it off.

Same thing hit me on reta at 6mg around 13 lbs down — one day of full-volume hunger after weeks of nothing, and I was sure it was over. Next morning it was quiet again like nothing happened. One afternoon isn't a trend, give it a few days.

#8

Down 44 myself and I've had a couple of days like that where lunch just didn't hold me, then the next morning it was like nothing happened. One hungry afternoon after months quiet isn't the same as tolerance kicking in, so see how the week plays out.

#9

Had a day like that on 0.5 not long ago, right around when I'd hit 12 lbs down — ate dinner and was prowling the kitchen an hour later for the first time in weeks. Slept it off and the suppression was back the next morning. I'd give it a few days before deciding anything.

Down 56 here and I've had two or three single days like that over the past year, hungry all evening then back to normal by morning. It was usually after a poor night's sleep or a way lighter breakfast, now that I think back. One day won't tell you anything at 27 lbs down.

#11

Same thing hit me around 20 lbs down, one hungry evening then gone by the next day. In my case it tracked with a rough night of sleep, so that might be worth checking before you assume anything. Give it a few days and see.

#12

At 65 lbs down I still get one of those hungry days every month or two, usually when I've slept badly or skipped breakfast. Mine never turned into a trend, so I'd wait and see if it sticks around before worrying.

#13

Had the same scare around 22 lbs down -- one ravenous afternoon, figured the med quit on me, then it never happened again. Sleep debt does it to me every time. One hungry day after months of quiet isn't a trend, just log it and move on.

#14

64 lbs down here and I still get the occasional rogue hungry day, usually after a short night. One afternoon after months of quiet doesn't mean much on its own -- mine never repeated unless poor sleep was behind it. Give it a few days before deciding anything.

#15

I get those too at 55 lbs down, and mine almost always line up with a rough night of sleep. One hungry afternoon after months of quiet doesn't mean the med is done -- see if it repeats over the next few days before you spiral.
