Funny how the Saturday switch alone seems to settle things down, my side effects basically vanished after I moved mine to the weekend. Those post-stall drops feel huge after two weeks of nothing. Nice work.
7.5mg week and feeling great
7.5 was my sweet spot too, the snack cravings I'd fought for years just stopped calling my name. I'm a couple pounds ahead of you at 21 down and it's wild how fast the wardrobe situation turns around once the scale starts moving again. Enjoy this stretch, it feels good for a reason.
How are you finding the higher dose so far? What finally got your stomach issues under control?
7.5 has been solid for me too, and I'm sitting at 29 down with the only real side effect being some queasiness if I eat too fast. The jeans I couldn't button in the spring are my everyday pair now, which still feels surreal. Hoping the quiet appetite sticks around for you at this dose.
I'm still early on it and the scale has barely budged for me so far, but the food noise dropping off at 7.5 is already noticeable. Reading that your jeans went from unwearable to everyday gives me hope it keeps building from here.
7.5 was where things clicked for me too before I moved up to 12.5, and the fast-eating queasiness stuck with me the whole way so pacing meals helps. The food noise staying quiet is what I'd call the real win, scale lagging weeks included. Down about 31 lbs here in Omaha and still reach for the smaller jeans first.
7.5 is where I first noticed the closet full of "maybe later" pants actually working again too, and I'm around 24 lbs down. Eating slower made a difference for me when queasiness showed up, worth trying if it hits you. Hope the quiet appetite keeps treating you this well.
7.5 was my turning point too, about 36 lbs down now and I never went higher because it just kept working. The quiet appetite showed up fast for me but the scale took its sweet time catching up, so don't sweat slow weeks. Those summer clothes fitting again never gets old.
Funny how 7.5 seems to be where a lot of us hit our stride. I stalled out on it eventually but still got a solid run of quiet appetite before that, and pacing my meals kept the queasiness mostly away. Congrats on the 18 down, seeing those tight summer clothes fit again is half the reward for me.
7.5 held as my sweet spot for a long stretch too, and I'm sitting at 39 lbs down without ever needing to climb. The quiet appetite part is real, though I learned not to panic when the scale went quiet for a bit. Enjoy the wardrobe wins, those are the best part.
