Wegovy and appetite fully returning mid-week

Is anyone else finding that the appetite suppression fades around day 5-6 before the next shot? I'm down 36 lbs and suddenly by Thursday I'm actually hungry again, like real hunger, not head noise. Wondering if this is just what happens as your body adjusts or if others get the same mid-week rebound.

That first quiet day is wild, isn't it? Mine hit around week three and I remember opening the fridge and just... not caring. Still get a little hunger creep back by day five or six on 2.5, but nothing like the old constant chatter.

I get the same Thursday hunger creep, though mine kicked in around week 3 of the 0.5 dose. Real stomach growling, not the food-thoughts thing. I just started keeping protein-heavy stuff ready for those last two days and it's been way more manageable.

I had the same panic the first time real hunger showed up late in the week, but it never stopped my loss. Down 55 lbs now and I just treat those Thursday/Friday meals as normal eating days instead of fighting it. Turns out quiet appetite most of the week is still doing plenty of work.

Same thing here, hunger creeps back by day 5-6 and it's actual stomach hunger. I'm only about 5 lbs in but it still threw me off the first time it happened. I just eat real meals those last two days now instead of trying to push through on nothing, and it hasn't derailed anything.

That fridge moment is so real. Mine clicked around week four on my low dose and I stood in the kitchen genuinely confused about what to do with myself. Down 13 lbs so far in Tucson and the quiet is still the best part, even when the noise creeps back a couple days before my next shot.

The quiet sneaking back a couple days early has been my pattern too, right around day five or six. Down about 31 lbs myself and honestly those loud days used to freak me out, but once I noticed the pattern it stopped feeling like failure and just felt like timing.

Day 5-6 hunger showed up for me too, right around the 30-something lb mark, and I figured the med had stopped working. It hadn't - I'm down 44 lbs now and still lose through those hungry days. I just eat a bit more protein those last two days and it evens out.

Mine hit on Mounjaro around week five when I made dinner and forgot to eat half of it. Down 14 lbs in Cincinnati and the day six noise still shows up for me too, but knowing it's just the shot wearing off makes it way easier to ride out.

Same thing here, right around the 20 lb mark the day five hunger kicked in for real. I keep protein-heavy stuff ready for those last couple days before the shot and it's been fine. Still losing, so the med clearly isn't done.

The pantry habit thing is so real, I caught myself doing the same on Zepbound around week four. Mine clicked when I left food on my plate at a restaurant for the first time in years. Down 77 lbs now and the day five or six noise still shows up, but it doesn't scare me like it used to.

Hit that same day five hunger on Victoza around the 35 lb mark, and I just leaned into it with bigger protein on the back half of the week. Down almost 50 lbs now and the loss kept moving, so I stopped stressing about it.

36 lbs in and that late-week hunger showing up is usually a good sign, honestly. I noticed the same thing around my 40 lb mark and started planning bigger protein on days five and six, which took the edge off without messing with my loss. Real hunger beats the food noise coming back, so I'll take it.

Hitting real hunger by day five or six happened to me too, right around the 30 lb mark. I stopped seeing it as the med failing and started treating those days as when my body actually needs fuel, so I just eat a proper breakfast those mornings. Loss hasn't slowed since, so I figure it's just adjustment.

Same pattern here, hunger creeping back around day five kicked in for me somewhere in the 40s and I'm down 53 now with loss still steady. I just plan bigger meals for those late-week days and treat it as my body asking for fuel, not the shot quitting on me.

Mine kicked in around day six once I hit the high 30s too, and I was convinced the shot was wearing off. Turns out eating real food those days instead of white-knuckling it didn't stall anything, still dropping at the same pace down 40 now. Just plan for it and move on.

That day 5-6 hunger hit me too somewhere in the 30s and I panicked that I'd built a tolerance. Turns out feeding it with actual meals those days didn't slow anything down, I'm 56 lbs gone now and still losing. Real hunger late in the week just seems to be part of the deal for a lot of us.

Interesting reading this as someone only a few weeks in and down barely 3 lbs — good to know the day 5-6 hunger might show up later rather than being a sign I'm doing something wrong now. I'll remember that eating actual food those days seems to be the move instead of fighting it.

Same thing happened to me on Mounjaro around the 30 lb mark, hunger creeping back by the weekend before my Friday shot. I just started eating full meals those last couple days and it made zero difference to my loss. Feels less like the med failing and more like your body finally asking for fuel again.
