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

This community saved my first month on medication. I came here when I was ready to quit at week 3 and people here convinced me to push through. It's now month 5 and I'm down 38 lbs. Thank you all.

Adding my two cents: Cheering you on from here. Thanks for sharing this.

Reading this and Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. So proud of you. Everyone's different of course.

Just wanted to say, Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Six months in and down 41 lbs total. Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose.

Totally agree. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. Batch-cooking high-protein meals saved my willpower. Hang in there.

Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Hang in there.

Adding my two cents: How long did the food noise take to quiet down. Hang in there.

Reading this and The mental side is harder than people admit. Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Late to this but A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Rooting for you.

For what it's worth, Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Onward! (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Same here — Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively.

Following along — Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Down 55 lbs over the last year on this journey. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Onward! Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Adding my two cents: How's your energy been lately. Did you split your dose or take it all at once. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Honestly, I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Hit a number on the scale this morning I haven't seen in years. Keep us posted!

Totally agree. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule.

Following along, Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. You've got this.

Same here, You should be really proud. You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Scale didn't move but my rings fit again. Keep us posted!

Same here, Walking 8k steps a day alongside the meds really compounds. This community is the best.

Late to this but Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Did you split your dose or take it all at once. So glad I'm not alone in this.
