Reading this and What's your current titration schedule looking like. Lost 8 lbs my first month and the food noise is gone. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

For what it's worth, Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. My doctor had me hold at 7.5 until side effects settled. A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Thanks for sharing this.

Just wanted to say, My doctor had me hold until side effects settled. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule.

For what it's worth, Has your sleep changed at all since starting. Electrolytes every morning has been a game changer. Ugh I felt exactly the same way at that stage. Everyone's different of course.

You're not alone in this, so many of us have been there. Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. My doctor had me hold until side effects settled. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
