The food noise went quiet at week 3 — sharing my experience

Took me closer to week 5 before the chatter dropped, and the weird part was I only noticed it while grocery shopping and not planning the next meal the whole time. Did the quiet stick around for you or come and go?

#43

Mine crept up slower, more like week 5, and the first thing I noticed was reaching for a snack out of habit and then just... Not wanting it. Weirdly anticlimactic when it happens.

#44

Mine stayed loud well past week 3, it was more like week 5 before my head stopped narrating every meal. On 5mg now and it's quieter but not totally gone, I still catch myself mentally planning dinner at lunch sometimes

#45

Mine took closer to week 5 and I'm on a different med entirely, so the timing clearly isn't one-size-fits-all. The grocery store thing is real though, I walked past the chip aisle last week without even slowing down and only noticed after.

#48

Mine was closer to week 5, and the weird part was the quiet hit hardest in the car. Used to be every drive past a drive-thru was a debate with myself. Now I just keep driving.

#49

Mine came later, more like week 5, but that grocery store thing is exactly how it showed up for me. I used to loop the aisles looking for something to want and now I just grab what's on the list and go.

#50

Mine crept up more gradual than a clean week 3 switch, more like week five before the background hum dropped. Did the quiet stay steady for you after that or does it come and go on certain days?

#52

idk, the evening pantry orbit is exactly how I noticed it too, and mine didn't really settle until closer to week 5. Weirdly the quiet hit hardest on the nights I'd usually graze through a Billings snowstorm.

#53

Mine was more gradual, no single switch-flip week, but the after-dinner grazing quietly stopped somewhere in there without me deciding anything. Curious whether yours held steady once it kicked in or came and went for a bit

#54

honestly mine didn't go fully quiet until somewhere past week 4, and the first thing I noticed was that I could walk past the breakroom table at work without my brain narrating it. The chatter fading in stages rather than all at once caught me off guard.

#55

Mine was later, maybe week 6, but that drive-by test is real. The Boise Fred Meyer bakery used to pull me in every time and now I walk past without even clocking it

#56

Mine was closer to week 6 and the first thing I noticed was grocery shopping got boring, which sounds weird but I'd wander aisles with nothing pulling at me.

#57

Week 3 here too and mine is more like the volume got turned down a notch rather than off. Still catching myself thinking about lunch at 10am but it's easier to let it go

#58

Week 3 was when I stopped planning my whole day around the next meal, so that timing lines up for me too. Only a few pounds in so far but the quiet itself feels like the win.
