7.5mg week and feeling great

I'm on Saxenda not tirzepatide but the food noise going quiet at 1.2mg was the same kind of relief for me. Curious whether the quiet holds for you once your body adjusts to 7.5.

What did the ramp up feel like for you before 7.5, any rough patches on the way there? I'm only a few lbs in myself and still figuring out where things settle.

#45

7.5 was where it clicked for me too, first dose where the food noise actually went quiet instead of just fading a bit. My side effects stayed mild at that step, mostly just some tiredness the day after.

#46

I had a similar stretch where the appetite just went quiet and it felt strange how easy meals got. Down 15 myself but I'm still on a lower dose, so hearing 7.5 kept that calm going is good to know

#49

7.5 was the first dose where I actually forgot to think about food until noon. Side effects stayed mild for me at that level too, mostly just some tiredness the day after shot day.

Did you notice any change in energy when you moved up, or was it pretty much just the appetite part? I'm a bit lower down the ladder than you and trying to figure out what to expect at each step.

The wardrobe stuff hit me later than 18 lbs in, took until maybe month four before old jeans actually went on. Did the appetite quiet stay steady for you all week or taper off by day five?

#55

7.5 was where the food noise actually went quiet for me too, though I had one queasy morning the day after the bump that never came back. Curious whether yours stays this smooth past week two.

#56

Did you notice the appetite quieting ramp up right when you moved to 7.5, or was it already fading on the lower dose? I'm still climbing and trying to figure out when that part kicks in for me.

#57

7.5 was the first dose where I actually forgot about food for a whole afternoon, which never happened at 5. Side effects stayed mild for me too, so I just stayed there a while instead of rushing up.

#58

7.5 was the first dose where I actually forgot to think about food, which never happened on the lower ones. Stayed there for a couple months before my appetite started creeping back

#59

7.5 has been the calmest stretch for me so far, barely any side effects and the food noise is just gone. Still adjusting to how quiet my head is at the grocery store

#60

I'm a bit past you on the scale and still waiting on that clothes moment, but the appetite quiet at 7.5 was the first time I stopped negotiating with myself over snacks. Did the quiet hold steady for you all week or was it up and down?
