[Europe] Reflection on my journey
How did you handle the first few weeks when the appetite drop made eating feel like a chore? I'm down 15 and still figuring out how to get enough in on the days when nothing sounds good.
. What actually helped was picking one protein I could stand and eating it cold, no cooking smells to deal with.
I'm six months in too and still figuring out what to do with myself on the days food just doesn't appeal. What does a normal eating day look like for you now that the early phase is behind you?
I'm curious too. What changed for you once the loss slowed down, was it the food side or more the routine around it?
The thing that caught me out was how much of this turned out to be routine rather than willpower. The shot was never the hard part for me, it was rebuilding normal eating around it.
six months is a good marker, that's about when I stopped thinking about the injection as a weekly event. What does maintenance actually look like for you day to day?
What actually changed for me was dropping the daily logging around month four. Did you find the same or do you still track?
Did you ease off logging after the first few months? I stopped tracking everything around month four and it took some of the grind out of it.
did you ease off logging around month four too? I dropped it at that point and my pace changed, so I'm curious whether you kept it up the whole six months.
honestly did you keep logging the whole six months? I dropped it around month two and my rate changed, so I'm curious if you stayed consistent
I quit logging around month three too and stalled a bit. Did appetite quiet down gradually for you or all at once?
Reading that you're six months in and 40 down is genuinely useful to hear. Still early enough that I have no idea what my own appetite will do past the first few weeks
On Saxenda myself and the food noise coming back in waves matches what I get, some days it's whisper quiet and others it's a dull hum in the background. I've just started noticing it more at the dose I'm on now.
Six months is a long stretch to stay quiet, so nice to finally hear from you. I'm at 28 down myself and the food noise thing people keep asking about is what I'd want to hear your take on, since mine still shows up on random days.
did the food noise taper off for you by month six, or does it still come back around certain times of day? Mine seems to hit hardest late evening.
I'm on Mounjaro rather than semaglutide and the noise dialed down for me at the higher doses, though it still creeps back on stressful weeks. Six months of lurking before posting sounds about right, I did the same thing.
