Dosing my Rybelsus tonight and my appetite crept back hard today. Anyone else notice it fade toward the end of the week at 2.4mg?
Ozempic check-in for today - who's dosing this morning?
I'm on the injectable not the pill, but I get that late-week hunger creeping in too, especially around day 5 or 6. Down 60-some pounds and it still happens, just way more manageable than before. Planning bigger protein at breakfast those days has helped me ride it out.
Oral vs injectable aside, I get that same day 5-6 hunger creep too. Down 70-something lbs and honestly the return of a little appetite near the end of the week never fully went away for me, it just got easier to ignore. Front-loading protein early in the day is what got me through it.
Keep that momentum going. You're crushing it honestly. This place gets it.
Only 8 lbs in on my end so I'm way earlier in this than you two, but even I get hungrier by day 6ish. Guess it's just how the med wears off for a lot of people. Loading up on eggs in the morning those days has been my trick so far.
Same here, right around day 5 the appetite sneaks back in even at my dose. Down 22 lbs and I've just accepted those days as the new normal. Front-loading protein like folks said has helped me more than anything.
Keep going, seriously. Cheering you on from here. That's a milestone worth celebrating. Grateful for this thread.
The day 6 hunger hit me too until I stopped fighting it and just planned bigger protein meals those days, especially at 2.4. Down 30 lbs and honestly those late-week days never fully went away for me, they just got easier to ride out.
Day 5 or 6 hunger still shows up for me too even after 76 lbs gone, so you're not doing anything wrong. I just keep extra protein around for those late-week days and let the appetite do its thing. It got way less scary once I stopped treating it like the med stopped working.
